An Amazing Achievement

My Friend Patti has a niece who will be graduating from college very soon, she has worked very hard and accomplished this huge accomplishment all on her own.  Patti asked me to make something for her to send her niece to celeberate thsi amazing accomplisment.  Here is what I came up with:

Aunt Jane's Birthday

My Aunt Jane, who is also a paper crafter is having a Birthday the end of this month and I wanted to make her something she would enjoy.  So I made her a chip board book with some great pictures of her and members of the family, I also made her a Birthday Card to send along with it.

& The Birthday Card

Another Just Because

I was inspired by another card I have been working on to make this Just Because card.

A Birthday Card

I made this Birthday Card for a gal name Liz who needs some spirit lifting.  Hopefully mine and all the other cards headed her way will brighten her spirits.

Just Because

I had a friend who was looking for a card for no real reason, Just to make someone smile, So I made this card. 

St. Patricks Day Card

A co-worker of mine asked me if I could make a St. Patricks Day card for her to send to a relative.  I said sure of course, I was very pleased with the way it came out, so here it is:

Pies, Pies & More Pies

At work we are having a huge pie sales contest, last year my store sold the most in our region and this brings huge bragging rights.  So this year we have to keep our title, so I helped make several posters for us to track our progress.

Two Quick Cards

Tonight I made two invitations to send to my inlaws, inviting them to visit us.  They love to visit and also love to get mail from us, so we thought it would be nice to send them a written invitation.

A project for Work

We are playing Bingo at Work for Safety awareness, I made two large Bingo cards to post

It Has Been a While

Lets see I have had a couple projects I have been working on, I have been working on a paper dolls swap that I signed up for on the cricut site.  25 women signed up for 2 states each, and you had to make paper dolls and accessories representing your state.  I signed up for Washington & Hawaii, and My friend JoAnn signed up for New York and Oregon.  Here is what we cameup with:

Hawaii

Washington

New York

Oregon

Using a New Technique

I was looking at some Black Magic paper (paper that is black on one side, and another color like bright red on the other side) I had purchased at Joann carfts the other day, I realized it said sand, tear or rip on it. So I cut out a heart shaped card using the wild card cartridge, and than ran it thorugh the texture boutique, to add a swirl texture to it.

I than used a piece of sand paper, and started sanding. There it was the red from the back of the paper showing through.

I will be using this techique more often, it will be intresting to see what other color combinations while at the craft store.

Non-Traditional Valentine

Here is the two cards are made in response to another challenge on the cricut.com messageboard.  The challenge was to make non traditional valentine cards, without using pink, red or purple.

This Weeks Ad Challenge

This weeks Ad challenge from Jade on cricut.com, Jade finds an ad and posts the picture from the ad, and your suppose to use it for inspiration to make a papercraft project.

I am really enjoy doing these challenges, it brings a whole new aspect to my paper craftng.  It is very different to make a card or page for no-one specific.  In a way it is very freeing and in another way can make it very hard.  This card was more diffficult and I don't feel it is my best one.

Cropping with the Stars Contest

I entered a papercrafting contest this week through the Cricut site.  I decided to create a chip board book with reciepes for a quick and easy chinese meal.  I did not win but it was extremely fun to build my project.  If you would like to see all the entries check them out here: Cropping with the stars
