Another Day - Another Look For My Blog

If you've been visiting my site in the last week or 2 you might have noticed my blog has looked different on several occasions.  I have had so much trouble deciding on a look for my blog lately but I think I have finally found it thanks to my friends Jessica and Tracy.  Jessica found the cutest backgrounds here and then when Tracy updated her blog it reminded me that I just loved Jessica's blog look too.  I think this one is going to stay around for a while.  I'm finally happy with it.

Here is my final Father's Day card.  I made this one for my father-in-law.  I am very lucky to have not only wonderful parents but also wonderful in-laws!  I hope he likes his card!! 

Father's Day Card for My Daddy

My dad loves to play golf so when I saw this image in my Graphic 45 Proper Gentleman pack I knew it was going on a card for him.  I think it speaks volumes when you use your FAVORITE paper for others!!  LOL!


Father's Day Card for My Husband

So last weekend I was at the monthly day-long swarm/crop I host and actually finished 4 cards and a circle pop-up album while I was there.  Here is the card I made for my wonderful husband for Father's Day.  The paper is from Graphic 45 which is my new all time favorite paper!!

The Front


The Inside - Sentiment is not in here yet

The Back - Added some stamp looking images from another page in the pack

Mother's Day Card

Ok, I know, I know this is late, but I have an excuse.  This card is for my mother-in-law who was gone with her husband most of May and into June traveling in Europe.  I did not want to overfill their mailbox you know!!  Ok poor excuse.  But anyway the card is done and I just love it.  I hope you to do!!

Graduation Banner - Take 2

So I have these wonderful friends on the Cricut.com message board and in my Skype group who are some of the most fantastic crafters I've ever met.  So today I was looking at the banner I posted earlier and thought "hmmm what would they do to this banner?"  So I said "Self,  Jen would say add bling" so I added bling, and  then I thought butterflies cause she uses a lot of butterflies.  Then I said "Self, Jessica would say add doodle dots and doodle stitching", so I added some of that.  Then I said "Self, Kimi would say you aren't done chick, add more".  So I added more, more embellishments, more pearls and then even more embellishments. Finally, I think I can say I'm pretty happy with this banner because it is a lot more like my DD, a bit of randomness in a whole lot of beauty .  I hope you like it in "Take 2".




Graduation Banner

I made a Graduation Banner for my daughter who is graduating from high school on Saturday.  We are holding a party for her that evening and I'll hang up the banner for the party.  I will add a ribbon or thick twine to the ends to hang it up.  I might also add a graduation cap to the blank tag in-between the words.

The paper is K&Co. Blue Awning.  The letters are Chip Chatter (Tall) from Pressed Petals that I glittered.  The ribbon and buttons are just random pieces from my stash.  I hope you like it!

Added: June 19th - I finally found the link to the blog that had a tutorial for the banner.  Atomic Butterfly makes some BEAUTIFUL banners and I wanted to make sure that I give credit to her for her work.
