Gear Birthday Card

This card file came from Wanda’s Craft’s! She is amazing!  I” have a lot of her files! If you sign up for her newsletter she gives you a free SVG file with each newsletter!!
So my friend Jen decided she is not into scrappin’ and card making. She called me up and offered me her stuff. She is a very generous friend!! Well, in her stash she had an Embellishment Punch-out Pack from COLORBOK! The paper and the embellishments are from this pack. Everything is coordinated in the pack too so my card came together quite nicely! Even the tag is from the pack!! The happy birthday is from using pens on the Cricut and the font again I used Thinfont-Thin. This card is for my son’s 14th Birthday!!

Butterfly Square card

Here is another card I made using Veronica's Butterfly Square Card file.  You can get it on her blog here.  She has the most awesome files!!  I made this using paper from the DCWV Summer Dream Stack. I just love theis designer paper it is lovely!  The solid paper is from DCWV the Cardstock Stack!  They were on sale awhile back at Joann’s for 50% of and I could not resist…  I used the Purple Stickles on all the middles and the sentiment is TBD. The tag is a SU punch. Sorry I am bad with the names of those.

Birthday Card!!

I got a file from Veronica over at the http://craftyblonde.blogspot.com/ It was her Peony Card!!
I just loved it and knew I wanted to make it! So here it is. I used paper from DCWV Summer Dream Stack. I cut the card to be an A2 card.  The piece behind the Peony is embossed with the cuttlebug folder designer swirls. I then used stickles on the embossed parts. The sentiment is a TT font called Thinfont-Thin. I used the Cri-Kits Gel pen to draw the Happy Birthday. The Tags are from SU the large and the XL punches. Hope you enjoy!

Mother's day Card

I have a unique situation when it comes to Mother's Day!  I have a mom of course and I have a step-mom who I love to pieces!  Oh and because I am married I have a MIL and I can't forget my dear Grandma who is 98!!  So I am very busy this time of year making cards!  I have the first 2 done!  Whew, only 3 more to go!! I am struggling to get the rest finished. My back is still out and I can only sit and craft for around 20 mins. before I get very stiff and uncomfortable...It is getting better but super slow for the type of ruptured disc I have...Anyhow on to the pics!!
This was made with DCWV paper stack Blossoms and Butterflies
I loved making the Flower!  There are all kinds of tutorials out that 
can teach you how to make them it is a bit tricky but well worth the effort as you can see!
Please tell me what you think!

Now for the next one!
I cut this on my E with an MTC file that was on the gallery!  The paper for the background
Was a great find on clearance for 1.99 and it was 24 sheets with a flower theme!
Thanks for looking!!

Freebie Background

I was browsing the free coloring pages through Google search and came across this page and thought it would look great as a background using the Cri-Kits gel pens!! 
It is called Snowflakes Coloring page.
I think it doesn't really make me think of snowflakes 
But it did seem interesting enough to pull it into MTC and
see how it would look so here it is!!
