Critters?

I got the Create a Critter cart in the mail today!! It's been a looooooong day so I will play with it tomorrow. I have to make a cow for my momma! :) It looks very detailed with the different layers and accessories. Pics to come!

Leaves of Green

I made one tree card yesterday and wanted to send it to more than one person. Luckily I have a way to fix that.

The birds denote the number of people in their families.

Serenade

I got the Serenade cart the day my family arrived last week so I didn't have time to play around with it. Today was play day!!

Rigel decided to be in most of the pictures. He's a ham for the camera and cant stand not being the center of attention!

So all of the images were made using the Serenade cart. All of the cards were made with the Stretch Your Imagination cart. The square cards are 5 1/4 inches. The rectangle is 5 1/2.

The tree is too freaking cute. It's awesome in person. The leaves and branches are so intricate and delicate. It goes to my mom.

This bird house card has a white insert inside with more red and pink birds on the left side. It's my new favorite card. I think it's going to my mom too.

Cricut Cartridge Sale

I have yet to buy a Cricut cart at full price. This sale is happening over at cricutmachine.com. Not too shabby, if you ask me. The one I got today was originally $69. So more than half off, yay!!

My mother in law was here visiting this week. I showed her my new toy. She wants one now! She is a fellow scrapbooker AND a 4th grade teacher! She could have so much fun with a Cricut!!

Ode to my Anniversary

Our 3rd wedding anniversary is TODAY!!! Our wedding colors were celadon and tangerine. I couldn't match the colors exactly, but these will do. Our flower was the Gerber daisy, primarily in orange. I don't have a Gerber image, but I had this lovely daisy. So I just cut it twice and layered it.

I dont know if I have told y'all yet, but all of my cards are cut at 5 1/4 inches so they will fit in a 5 1/2 inch envelope.
Made with the Walk in my Garden cart.

Made with the Stretch your Imagination cart.

Stretch your Imagination... with new papers

I ordered a few packs of 6x12 inch paper from cricutmachine.com. Many were solids, but two packs were designs. I really like that present card. The paper just puts it over the top.

This card was especially made for a friend in Arkansas who has a birthday in August.

I love balloons, did you know that? When I would throw myself birthday parties in college (yeah, I was lame), I would blow up a whole package of balloons and just have them on my dorm or apartment floor for days. Cant do that anymore with the pup, don't want him to choke.

Turtle!!

The snowflake is for a friend. But I read on someone else's blog that they make holiday cards in the summer to beat the holiday rush. So I'm going to use that as an excuse to make Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas cards in July. :) It makes sense though. Think about how many Christmas cards you will need to send off all at once.

But I must point out that the snowflake on the Stretch your Imagination cart has 7 sides. Really folks?? This bothers me to no end. I will need to find a 6 pointed snowflake very soon.

I know I got 2 new followers yesterday. If anyone has any helpful hints or tips, please feel free to point them out to me! I've had the Cricut for only a few weeks. I'm still mostly just playing around and learning about the machine. But any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
