Ryan's Birthday Card!





Hello ladies..this is my 4th post for today..I have been trying to get things done this week...This is a card for my sil's fiance's son (hope you followed that) Ryan's 8th birthday. Very simple card! I tried to do a pop up card but didn't have time to fool around with it...so I will have to try them another time...oh well.

Anyway, I used Everyday pop up cards for the card cut @ 5 3/4"

Cake cut @ 3 1/2" added ribbon, brad "enjoy", and twinkle glitter glue on the front of card.


Inside I used happy birthday cuttlebug folder, and cut many wishes for a happy day! Cut with BB...(birthday bash cricut cart) cut @ 2 1/4"...also cute the smaller cake @ 2 1/2"...enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

Altered mailboxes ....Valentines for teachers!









This is my 3rd post for today...I have been busy this week trying to finish projects that I have had sitting there for a while...so another project done.

I bought these cute little mailboxes at Target for $1.00. I had to buy a few extras for next year too. Last year I made these for my dd, nieces and nephews and I absolutely loved them...so I decided to make some more this year but for my daughter's 2 teachers. One is for her homeroom teacher and the other for her math and reading teacher. I hope they will enjoy these. I will then fill these with some valentine candy!

sweethearts cricut cart for the hearts (front of mailbox) cut @ 1 1/2"...added twinkle glitter writer, added a chipboard arrow, open is cut @ 1/2" with Teardrop cricut cart

used ms border punch and ribbon on both, added ribbon to the flag and some glitter sticker hearts....

inside is a envelop cut @ 4 1/2" with sweethearts, letter on the envelop is cut @ 2"

stamped inside with Happy Valentine's day stamp....used pink gel pen.


I hope you enjoy these and make a few for yourself or someone you love. Very easy to make and such a great gift. Thanks for stopping by.

Jasmine for the corners cut @ 4"


Added a swirl of pearls and used my IROCK tool to add the heart.

Inside: Twinkle twinkle tiny light
little eyes that shine so bright
A precious baby from heaven above
Fills our hearts with so much love.

Added ribbon, flower , jem with IROCK tool, and ms border punch, stamp and tiny feet charm.


Box:

Used Simply Sweet for the circle cut @ 2 3/4" (stitched)

J cut @ 1 1/2" with the same cart.

Hello ladies. It is a brand new year and I am starting off on a good note. Been having some great days...I hope all of you are too... I also got this layout done for a challenge. The STUCK ON U SKETCHES wants you to use a diecut machine for "SNOWFLAKES" ...I think I did just that!!!! You can go to my title and click on it and it will take you right to Stuck on U sketch blog....

I got some great toys for Christmas....GYPSY handheld design studio machine, the Irock tool...which I love by the way!!! Some jewels for the IROCK tool.

Layout Recipe:

Used Gypsy to design and weld my layout.....I used Christmas / Noel , Winter Woodland, Cindyloo for the swirls which I welded to the BRRR from Christmas / Noel (title), Inked everything, used ek success snowflake border punch and glitter paper (for the swirls that I welded to the title brrr) that did not really show up ....and I will add the picture of myself and my daughter which is in this post. I ran out of ink and need to get some. So I could not add it to the layout.

Sorry about the pictures not the best lighting...always looks better in person. I hope you enjoy and enjoy your day.
