Father's Day

 The girls stayed up late the night before Father's Day making their dad a card.  I think they did a great job!  The cards turned out awesome and it was fun spending time with them.

Here are Ashley's cards.  She made one for her dad and stepdad.

Here's the card Michaella made for her Daddy.

Here's the card I made for my Dad.  I got the Shirt idea from YouTube.  I thought it was so fun, and surprisingly easy.  I used SU stamp, brads and paper.

The girls wanted to give their dad a picture, but the youngest insisted on wearing her PJs.  We took so many and the two oldest really enjoyed the "fashion shoot", but the youngest only wanted a couple of pictures outside.   Then when their dad came home they dog piled him, so I had to get some pictures.  These are only a few.

Birthday card for mom

I made this card for  my mom's birthday this month.  I believe I used the Sentimentals Cricut cart and SU stamps and paper, and DCWV paper.

I made it so the tag in the front and vines hang off the ends. 

 Aubree wanted to decorate Nana's cake.  She took the sprinkles and pour a huge pile right smack dap in the middle of the cake and declared it "Beautiful!" She insisted on putting the candles on just the right spot.

Baby shower card

I made  this card in a mad rush to get to a baby shower.  I think it turned out pretty cute, but the picture isn't that good.  

The stamp on the bottoms say "It's just the little things"  :)

Now for the rules of this award.

Post this wonderful award on your blog.  Share this award with 10 other people you think have 

Cricut-tastic blogs.  Then share 5 cricut related things about yourself.

1.  I got my cricut Christmas 2009.

2.  I've persuaded 4 friends they need a cricut which resulted in them purchasing their own.  :) (Gotta share that addiction)lol!!

3.  I now own about 37 carts. and think I need more....like I said it's an addiction.

4.  My husband thought the cricut would be just a passing phase...boy was he wrong.  He now thinks it was a good decision. 

5.  I couldn't get through the instructional video that went with the cricut...I literally kept falling asleep, so I learned how to use it by watching youtube videos like Above Rubies Studio and My Pink Stamper.

My pink Stamper Challenge #5 Make a 3D project

Here's a quick project I made from Tags, Bags, Boxes and more while my friend Karen was working hard on her scrapbook pages.  I had a creative mind block, so I thought I'd make something fast.  I love purses and I wish I was talented enough to sew them.  Karen sews sooooo maybe she'll teach me.....HINT, HINT.

My Pink Stamper Challenge #8 Make a Summer Theme project

One of the things we like to do is go to Anchorage in the summer and drive to Seward and Soldotna.  The drive is amazing!!  The one thing besides the beautiful mountains is the wildlife we see; dull sheep, whales, moose, and even caribou (along the side of the road between Kenai and Soldotna).  So this card represents summer for us in Alaska.

Recipe:

DCWV paper
SU paper, brads, and metal frame
Give a hoot cart.
