Color Throwdown Challenge #100 with my kids. :)

My step daughter, Ashley is visiting for the summer.  Yae!!!  She wanted to do a card challenge with me.  When she was younger we would scrapbook together, but as she has gotten older she's kind of lost interest.  I was sooo happy when she said she wanted to do this with me.  My other daughter Michaealla also wanted to join in the fun.:)  We choose to do the color throwdown challenge #100.

EBay Carts

Gotta love that ebay.  I just got two new carts Sweethearts and Winter wonderland.  I know these are older carts, but I got them for a steal.  I made two cards with the Sweethearts cart.  Hope you enjoy them!

Cricut cardz challenge #28 Fun shoe card

Here is a card I made with the Paisley cart.  I used DCWV, and SU paper, and ribbon.  The flowers are from papertrayink.  I used the cuttlebug for the back ground.  I also used the scallop punch, cut them in half and altered the colors.  The base of the boot I used the DCWV glitter pack.  The brads are from SU.  This card was fun and simple.  Hope you like it.

This is what my two yr old was doing when I was making this card.  She took my ribbon and decided  that Elmo needed a makeover.  Sooo cute. What ever keeps them busy...right?  Anyways I thought it was funny.:)

Father's Day Cards

Here are the cards my daughter and I made yesterday for Father's Day.  It was so much fun.  We used the pine trees from the Paperdolls cricut cart.  The stamps are from the Judith stamp collection, and the paper, ink and ribbon are from stampin up.  My daughter used prima flowers and thought it would be nice to add a special touch by writing on the card instead of stamping the message.  I copied her idea, even adding the dots to the letters.  I love her card it is soo cute and she worked very hard on it.  I love it when we can do these things together. 
I don't have but a few days with her until she will be going to her grandparents in Seward for a couple of weeks, and then off to basketball camp. :(  She is getting so big.  I'm am excited for her, but having a hard time with the thought of her gone for so long.  They grow up so fast.  I just have to remember to cherish all these little moments.

Child's Birthday Card

I made this card this weekend for a child turning 3yrs.  My two year old and I were unable to go to the party due to me getting sick (probably not a good idea for me to be coughing all over the little ones).  I got my inspiration from splitcoaststampers.com.  If you don't know about this site, which who doesn't, it's great for ideas.  I go to the SU gallery, and then click on the stamp set of interest.  So many ideas, so little time.  :)

Love, love, this site.

Card and picture frame

A fellow co-worker asked if I would make a picture frame for her to give as a gift, and a card for her mother with her picture.  I tried to use the cricut, but I had to use me creative memories cutters.  If anyone does a project on how to make a picture frame with the cricut let me know.
