CWC (7/25/11) Thank U.

Happy Monday,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. It was a busy one for me with lots of family time. Saturday we spend the day at the lake and it was great to get away from all the heat and humidity and do some swimming and relaxing. This card is going to my mother-in-law for hosting Saturday’s birthday party for my hubby. Anyway, I sat down in my room last night around 7 and couldn’t come up with anything to make for today’s card. I knew I needed to make a thank you card, but that was about it. Finally an hour later I decided to play with my embossing folders….

Summer Card Camp Week 4-Color Combo Challenge

I can’t believe its week 4 of summer card camp already. WOW it flew by….
This week’s challenge is right up my alley…Yep Green and Teal….YUMMY! 
Over the weekend I started making a card for my boss at work and could you believe it went right with this weeks color challenge. Marie (that’s my boss) has been giving me some awesome cooking tips for cooking some of my newly grown veggies from my garden. She let me borrow a cookbook with some great recipes in it and I wanted to give her a little thank you card when I return the book. 

I used the apron from the Savory Cricut Lite cartridge and cut off the strings to add my seam binding. I used my Gypsy to hide some of the other cuts on the base of the apron and then made my own little pocket. I also added the satin ruffle at the bottom and then went a little bling happy…lol 
That’s all for today!!
Have a great day (it’s gonna be a hot one) 🙂
Hugs,

Happy Father’s Day

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to pop in and wish all those DAD’s out there a Happy Father’s Day. Especially to my hubby (Scott), my dad, and my father-in-law,

Happy Father’s Day!
I have two more Father’s Day cards to share. These are the cards that Ethan and I gave to Scott….Both cards are Kristina Werner inspired cards.

 This one is Ethan’s card to Scott, I used my new Silhouette to cut the card. “World’s Best” is so tiny and it cut out beautifully. I want to send out a huge thank you to Teri (my SBFF) for helping me yesterday…We chatted on the phone for a while and she helped me so much learn the machine and the software. Thank you Sis! Check out Teri’s blog for some great Silhouette info…She’s been having so much fun with her machine.

Have a great Sunday and a Happy Father’s Day
