Mr. Happy Birthday Card

This blog is long over due!  I have exciting news to share with you today.  I purchased a Silhouette!  I had been looking into purchasing a die cutting machine since last year but couldn't bring myself to spending the money and I couldn't decide between a Shilouette or Cricut. 

There are so many cute images from Cricut and after seeing the hundreds of online videos, it looks really easy to use.  The only draw back for me was that the cartridges take up space; something I don't have much of.  Also I love watching Robyn's video's over at My Pink Stamper, she makes it look like fun.

I found another blogger Nichol Magouirk who's made Silhouette videos.  She does wonders with her scrapbooking layouts.  And after asking her about the die cutting machine she said she's had a cricut before but preferred the Silhouette.  So I figured I couldn't go wrong with either machine. 

One day I stumbled upon a kijiji ad for a Silhouette, it was in the price range I was looking for and close by.  I jumped on the deal which was posted in the morning and by the evening, I had it in my hands.  The seller was super nice and gave me cardstock too.

Since then I have created a couple of birthday cards and a mini scrapbook.  They have tons of online images to choose from and they only cost from $.50 to $1.99 each. I'm very happy with my purchase and look forward to using it when I scrapbook.... now if the Cricut drops in my price range, I might just have to pick that up too ; )

This is the first card I made with the Silhouette.  I remember reading the Mr. Men™ and Little Miss™ books by Roger Hargreaves when I was young so the images were nostalgic (for me and my Husband). 

Here are the images I used on this card Mr. Happy and Clouds with loopies. 

Thanks for stopping by!  And have a great weekend!
If you're in Canada, I hope you saw some beautiful fireworks yesterday : )  Happy Canada Day!

Cupie Baby Girl

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted.  I haven't been feeling well and I'm planning on posting once a month until I start to feel better.  I cased today's card from my Baby boy design.  I hope you like it!

Candy Wrappers

Hi and thank you for stopping by.  Unfortunatly I haven't been in my craft room for a few weeks.  However I did find a little something I could share with you that I did about a year ago.  For my Sister's baby shower I made little gift bags for everyone who attended.  Here are the candy wrappers I made using Stampin' Up's Fox and Friends stamp set with the inspiration of the mini catalogue.

Have a great weekend!

Valentine's Day Alice

Hi and thanks for dropping by!  For today's card, I used Bugaboo's digital stamps, the Storybook collection and I was able to come up with this Valentine's day card. Alice has glittery shoes and a shiny bow while Cheshire the cat carries a mini Valentine of his own. And because everyone loves a gift, I've attached a pencil to the backside of the card. I hope you like it : )

 

Have a fabulous weekend! And a happy family day on Monday.

Happy Valentines Day!  There are many ways you could show your loved ones how much you love them and it certainly doesn't have to fall on February the 14th.  However if you like the excuse to buy chocolates and flowers for someone, why not?  No matter what you're doing on that day I hope you know that you are loved.

Ice cream and pickles anyone?  When I saw this stamp at last year's Scrapfest I snatched it right away.  It's super cute and fun : )  Enjoy!

Thanks for popping by!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Fast & Fabulous

Happy New Year!  Last year was the year of the Tiger and this year, the Rabbit!  When I was younger we use to celebrate the new year but now that I'm older it's more of a celebration in my heart then a party.  Jamie did take me out for dinner at Ben Thanh which was super yummy : )

Today's card was made using Fast and Fabulous by Stampin' Up!  It's a little different from the other cards I've made; I tend to use happy cartoon images.  I used white post-it notes to for masking, I got that tip from Amy R, she has lots of tips if you're just getting started with card making.

Thanks for popping by!  Have a great day!
