Baby Shower Gifts

This is a project I have been working on for awhile.  My nephew and his wife are having their first baby, so I've been working on little gifts and a card for the baby shower tomorrow. 

The first item is the card, the idea of welding the umbrella onto a base was from "Cards by CG"  She is a fantastic designer and always has wonderful ideas!  I love how this turned out.

The next project is a little box to put things in for the baby, it was an idea from "Made by Momo".  I really like how this turned out.  I made this for another neice for her baby and she loves it.  (The babys nickname is baby bee)

The last project I did was a counting book from an original idea of "Jens Creation Station".  I laminated this little book, and I don't think I would do that again.  I had so much trouble with crinkling and had to keep redoing entire pages.  I made some other mistakes on it, but have learned from them.  I think overall my niece-in-law will like it.  It's hard to see in this picture but almost all of the little designs on the pages have stickles.

Flaunt it Fridays Challenge #16

This is the Birthday Bash Bunny.   I didn't use the present since it's an Easter card.  The butterflies are a MS punch.  The daffodils are from Walk in My Garden. then I used stickles for the center.  I also used this for Tacky Tuesday challenge.

Creative Sisters Monday Challenge #3

This challenge is a spring project.  I made this Gazebo easel card that just screams spring to me.   I love the gazebo cut with the vines of flowers.  I added a few MS punch butterflies.

Thank you card

Some of you may know that I work with fingerprints for my job.  Well we just finished a four day course taught by a very nice man.  He is a Forensic Scientist in the field of fingerprints for Oregon State Police.  He takes vacation days to teach these classes and receives no compensation other than room and board.  Anyway, I decided to make a card for him for all of the class to sign, I think it turned out very cute!  Hope you like it too. The magnifying glass is from Every Day Paper Dolls, the print is an enlargement and everything else is scraps

First, I want to say how excited I am.  This is the first time I have been asked to be a guest designer anywhere!

For this project we needed to use the Bunny from pg 27 of Birthday Bash (or a similar cut if you don't have Birthday Bash) and the word Hop on the front.  I chose to make a little Easter card.

I think it turned out a little tacky and a little cute!

I used stash paper, ribbon from JoAnns, MS punch for the butterflies and the border.  The bunny was cut from the Birthday Bash at 2.3 inches.  The daffodils were cut from Walk in my Garden at 1 inch.  I put a little yellow stickles in the center.  I used PKS for the bunny face.  The sentiment is computer generated and hand cut out.

This challenge was to use embossing in your project.  I chose to use it in my sentiment.

I used the Create a Critter (one of my favorites) cartridge. 

Throwback Thursday Challenge

Wow, I finally had some time to do some Cricuting.  I made quite a few Easter cards this weekend, but also managed to get this card made for St. Paddys day.  Which is kind of weird, cause I should be making my St Paddy's cards first.  Oh well, I really like how this turned out!
