Spring Inspired Shaped Note Cards

Oh I can really feel spring in the air and most days the sun is shining so bright plus no chills.  Today is such a special day because hubby and I found spring flowers blooming in our front yard.  With such a sunny day I got inspired to make shaped note cards that I can just take it with me in my handbag ... writing sweet messages to friends and hubby while at work.  It is a very simple project and so happy that I got to play with one of my first acquired Cricut Cartridges and that is Accent Essentials.  After cutting shapes I used different stamps using Close To My Heart Inkpads.  It has been a very very long time since I played with such tools.  I guess I just got focused on mixed media specifically art journaling that I stopped stamping and cutting images from my cartridges.

Here's my simple springy shaped note cards.  Although simple I find it useful and cute =)

Have a great week everyone!

Baptismal Banner for Rayner

This is a baptismal banner for baby Rayner which I made yesterday evening.  Since I was so tired and sleepy I got to upload and post this project at my Cricut site, Cricut Escapade: Craftastic Journey and not here so i'm posting it here just now.

I played with Accent Essentials, Jasmine, and Cindy Loo Cartridges =)  The stamp image (watch) is just a freebie from a craft magazine I bought early this year and can't remember the name.  Yeah I know, I should really start documenting my stamps.

The layering details:

Cuts from Accent Essentials

Cuts from Cindy Loo

So many projects done that I still need to upload but so little time for me :(  One thing I'm glad about is that I'm right on schedule as far as details for my son's Halloween birthday party tomorrow.  All I have to do now is pack all the things needed base on my checklist then have a goodnight sleep =)  Hhmmmm maybe I'll watch a horror movie first and eat my favorite chips, Doritos ... yummy!

Oh yeah now I remember, I have to make a card this day ... so gotta go!

Thanks for the visit.

until then.....
