Color Inspiration

Good morning everyone! I have always wanted to enter something into this challenge and I finally found a project to do it with. I posted this frame a while ago, but it matches this color challenge so I am posting it again. This frame was made for my friend Amy and I finally got to meet her son Vincent last night. He is definitely Baby Love!

Cupcakes Anyone?

One of my Bunco buddies is having a birthday soon so I made her this cupcake book. I used the Celebrations cartridge, which I never use, and the Cricut Design Studio to make a giant cupcake. Then I traced it onto chipboard and covered it with Sweet paper from DCWV. For the title, I used the Cricut markers to first make an outline and then I cut it out. Those are so much easier than I first thought. I then put some birthday quotes and some stickers in it. Delicious!

90s in June?

Good morning everyone! It is a gorgeous June day here in the Valley of the Sun. It is only supposed to get to 90 today. That is unheard of but so wonderful!!

Here is the final part of the word book. Sorry for the glare, I did not realize how the light was shining while I was filming this. I have also added a photo of the finished product. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for checking in.

Thanks Dr. Hipps!

Our beloved family doctor is finally retiring after almost 40 years of service. My whole family went to Dr. Hipps including my grandparents, parents, and sisters. Yesterday was his retirement party and I discovered that another lifelong patient is a friend of mine. Her whole family has gone to him too! He is such an amazing and wonderful man who was known for always running late because he spent so much time with each of his patients. When we hugged him and told him congratulations, he told my sister and I how proud he was of the both of us. Tears!! We are proud of him too! He loves to hunt, birds especially, so I made him this card using my Animal Kingdom and Doodlecharm Cricut cartridges. Congratulations Dr. Hipps! (And watch out birds!)

Sequel

Now Showing

Happy June everyone! Hope you are enjoying your summer so far. It is only supposed to hit 104 today in Phoenix so we are all very happy.

Well, I finally did it. I created a video for one of my projects. Now remember, this is my first one and it is not perfect. It shows the first steps in making a word book. It took forever to upload so I do not even know how it is going to look. Please let me know what you think. Should I change the angle? Do I talk too fast? Do I say, "Umm" too much? (I know I do!) Isn't it weird how our voices sound so different? Ughh! I hope you learn a lot from it and I will post a new one soon. Get yourself some popcorn and enjoy!

Off to a Good Start!

My friend Tina asked me to cut some vinyl for her house. She searched all of my fonts and found what she wanted. I cut it out and then she took it home and hung it herself. I used the Mickey Font, All Mixed Up, and Alphalicious. She did a fabulous job putting these on her walls and sent me these pics using her cell phone. I cannot wait to make some more for her. (A little hint - if you are thinking of quotes to hang in your house, just do a google search. For example, if you want a baby quote, just type in, "quotes about babies." You will be amazed.) Oh no, now I gave away a secret!! Hope you are enjoying June!
