Cricut Crafts Blog Hop!!!

                                                                                

Hello and welcome to the   Cricut Crafts Blog Hop! So glad that you could make It! If you just happened to come by my Blog and would like to hop along. You can start at the beginning at  Jenny's (Crazy about Cricut) Blog.

I Love my Cricut and We (My Cricut Machine)and I was so excited to be a part of this Hop. I call my Cricut (Cricky Girl). Do you all have names for your Cricuts?

I made two Cards for this Hop. The First one is very special. I made it for my Grandma Sophie's 100th Birthday. She Loved her Card!



                                                     

Cricut Cartridges that I used-

Flowers- Paisley Cartridge
Leaves- Flower Shoppe
Banner- Can't remember
Number 100- Cricut Classic Font

 I adhered all of the tiny Blue Flowers with Crystal Effects on to 5 different sized circles. With foam tape in between each one. I also sponged each petal with Bashful Blue Ink.
After I cut the leaves,I wet them with a little water and scrunched them up. After they dried I sponged Old Olive Ink on them.


For my second Card- I made a Phone Shaped Card. I used the Wild Card 2 Cartridge. 
I added a second handle on top of the first one and added Foam Tape. I also added foam tape under the dial. 



                                                


                                                   

I thought it turned out Cute! I Love phones like this. They bring back a lot of memories for me. One of my Sister's still uses one of these. I Love using it when I visit her. 
  
 I have a little Giveaway for one person. Two Packages of k& Company Stickers. One Halloween and One Christmas.

                                                 
 For your chance to win just leave a comment on this post and be a follower. I will use random .org to pick a winner. I will post the winner October 5th or 6th. So make sure you come back to see if you won.

Happy 100th Birthday!!

Hi, So glad you could stop by. I am a little late getting this posted, but I wanted to share with you all that my Grandma Sophie just celebrated her 100th Birthday. She is such a wonderful woman and has been such a great role model. She was so excited that they had a full page all about her in our home town paper. She had always said if I make it to 100, I would like my picture in the paper. So she was just tickled to have a whole page.

We had her a big Birthday party at her farm. Had the food catered so that no one would have to cook and some of the family played Blue Grass and Gospel Music. It was just a fun day.

So Thankful to God for blessing her with a long life. Thought I would share a few pictures of her party.



                                                                      
My Beautiful Grandma!

Mushroom Cards!

It's a little after noon and enjoying my time to myself. The Grand Kids are at School and my husband is at work. I'm sitting here watching QVC. Seriously I want to buy everything that they show. I also just started making some Vegetable Soup for Supper. So this will be a quick post.

Wanted to show you all some Cards that I just made. They are Cute little Mushroom Cards that I just made for my two Great Nieces Emmie and Audrie for their Birthday.



                                                                         

I used the Paisley Cricut Cartridge to make the Mushrooms. Their are so many cute Images on that Cart.
I also used the Stampin Up Embossing Folder (Cloudy Day). I love It!!!! (I have a thing for clouds).
And I also used the Martha Stewart Grass Punch.

These two Cards were Fun to make and Super easy.
Thank You all for stopping by. Hope you all are doing well and hope you come back to visit.

Stay Creative!!!  Cindy

Angry Bird Card

 Good morning Crafters! I just got the Grand Kids on the School Bus. I still can't believe that school has already started. It is kind of nice to have the house to my self and I get to watch T.V. No Cartoons! Whoo Hooo! Ya, I missed all of this alone time. 
 So since I have all of this time to my self. I thought I would share a picture of the Card that I just made. I made this for my little Great Nephew Landen for his birthday. 

                                               
                                                   


                                                       


I made him a Angry Birds Card. Now I had seen Angry Birds before. But when I sat down to make this card, my mind went blank and I could not remember what he looked like. So Thank Goodness my Grandson Walker was here. He told me what he looked like. Thank you Walker for helping Mamaw out.  This Card was made by paper piecing. Used Martha Stewart Circle Cutter, S.U. 1/2" Circle punch S.U. 1-3/8th Circle Punch, S.U. Word Window Punch, S.U. and word window punch, S.U. 1" Square Punch
S.U. Cloudy Day Embossing Folder 
Smile Stamp is from Creative Time (Cherish the Moment Stamp Set).

Here is a picture of the Inside. Used Cricut Craft Room Basics for the letters and number 6.

                                                
                                                     

                                                                                                                                                   
I think It turned out pretty Cute, (Thanks to Walker's help)!
So glad that you stopped by, I do love visitors. Would love to visit your blog, just leave me your blog address and I'll come visit you. 
Hope your day is a good one and stay Creative. :0)

Karli Graduates!

 Happy Tuesday and so glad you could stop by. My Grand Kids are here today. School will be starting soon. I think they start school way to early. When I was in school we didn't go back until September. I thought I would share a few things with you, while they are watching a Cartoon. 

My Great Niece Karli Graduated from High School (She grew up way to fast). Makes me feel old. First thing I want to share is a Card that I made her. (The Butterflies are her School Colors).


                                                      





For her Card I cut the Graduation Cap from the  Cricut Cartridge A Childs Year. Added a Black Brad. Also used the Butterfly Die from Stampin Up, S.U. Large Oval and Scalloped Oval Punches, Congratulations Stamp is from a set of foam stamp that I got as a Christmas Gift and the Swirl Stamp is from Bo Bunny.

Karli is going to be going to College in Florida. So I thought I would make her something that she could use. So I Crocheted her a Set of Coasters.I used the colors that she has her apartment in.  This was my first time making Coasters. They were easy and Fun to make.


                                                        



                                                         
                                                       


I also made a Gift Box. Used my Martha Stewart Score Board. (Love that you can make boxes with it). I used Tan Cardstock. Rolled Close to Cocoa Ink on it using the So Swirly Jumbo Wheel Stamp from Stampin Up and used Tempting Turquoise on the little flowers. Flower comes from the Borique Motiff Stamp Set from S.U.  



                                                     











Congratulations Karli

Baby Pooh Card and Princess Scarlett

Hi all you Crafty People! Glad you could stop by. Thought I would post a Card that I just made for my new Great Nephew ( Maverick Ridge). Oh, He is so Sweet.

I made his Card using the Cricut Cartridges Pooh Font and Pooh and Friends. We all have seen Pooh wear his red shirt. But I thought he should wear a Blue Shirt. I thought it turned out Cute.   




                                                   





I also thought I would share a picture of my Grand Daughter Scarlett. She got Princess in our County 4-H Pageant.

Hi, So glad you could stop by to visit me. I am so glad to finally be back on here. My Power Cord broke and had to order a new one. Wanted to Share a Card with you that I made for my sister Tammy for her Birthday. My Cricut has been feeling a little left out lately,so I thought I'd have her help me make this card.

Everyday Paper Dolls- Clouds
Mini Monsters- Fence
Green Shrub- Storybook
Red Flowers- Can't remember

Butterfly- Stampin Up Die
Martha Stewart Grass Punch

This Card was pretty easy to make. I started out thinking that I was going to make everything White. Wow, Was that boring looking. Summer is full of color, Right?


I also thought I would share a picture of the Owls that my Son got me at Disneyland. Most of you know that I am Crazy for Owls. So I was excited to add these to my colloction.
