Crop night with my sister

It's rare when my sis and I get time away from the sscrubbies (supportive scrapbooking husbands) and kids lately so we made time to have a crop night at the Little Blue House last friday and though we did more chatting than scrappin' I did get a few projects done. Some of the other cards need sentiments stamped onto them and some are for surprises so I won't post those yet.

The first one is a gift tag for my daughter's friend's birthday. She is having a swimming party and I loved this little decal gal from the preloaded Decals cart on the Cricut E2. I made the tag a generous 6 x 6 inch rounded square and used my Crop-a-Dile to put an eyelet for the ribbon so that she could also hang it in her room afterwards.

The second is a card for a girlfriend's new baby boy (not so new as I'm late with this card, but those that know me, what is new lol) Those are his initials and the baby bottle matches the bottle in the card stock even in color... took my inspiration from this lovely paper. EK Success punch along the bottom in that cool "plaid" look.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy. Leave me some love:o)

Surf's Up

I am so behind on my scrappin'! Thought I would finally get last year's Girl Scout Daddy/Daughter Dance photo scrapped since I now have this year's dance photo to scrap too. I used one of the newer seasonal cartridges, Luau for the cuts on this LO. I hadn't printed out my journaling before I took my photo of the LO so that's what's going in the big open space LOL. I love how the surf board looks like the one in the photograph (which happens to be my husband's surf board).

Confirmation Card

One of my dear friends asked me to make a Confirmation card for her nephew and I was happy with the results. Masculine cards are usually harder for me as I tend to devote my creativity to my really girly princess LOL but this one was fun to make. I had this Faith paper from Paper Studio and just love the colors (they also lend themselves to masculine cards very well). The bible cuts came from the book in Graphically Speaking and the cross and ribbon label are trusty Spellbinders.

Inside is a basic pocket for a wonderful gift card for the happy occasion. I also had the wonderful brads (yes, it's a brad) from Making Memories of various crosses and this one with the dove on it suited a Confirmation card so perfectly. Felt it would make a great bookmark and look like an authentic one to boot.
