Coming up with more ideas....

Here are a copy of more cards that go into mom's 'Mother's day gift stash'.

All about the paper

I have these pads of paper that I thought were so cool and decided to let the paper be the decoration of a few cards.  Here's what I came up with.......

Here's the inside of this one.....

Something a little more masculine.....

The back paper of these two is textured paper, I sanded the dots to get the

inside of the paper to show through......

Paper choices....

I recently found some paper that I just love and I'm enjoying trying to

come up with some cards using it.

Here's one....

And here's the inside shot.....

A few more cards

Here are a couple more cards that I've worked on to add to the stash.  Just trying to get better at making these.

I'm excited

I ordered a new cartridge the other day from Cricut because I could never find it in the stores locally. I'm excited to try some of these!

Thoughts of Easter

Some simple little Easter projects that I worked on.  The first one is a couple of little gifts for friends. They are little boxes with Easter candy inside and decorated on the outside. Simple and cute.....

The next one is an Easter card for my mother. My cartridges didn't have a lot of 'Easter' stuff on them, but I thought this came out cute.

Simple Birthday Card for a Friend

I've got a friend who has a birthday coming up

so I made her a card.

Cards

These were fun, just playing around and getting ideas.  Just some little cards that I will probably share with mom.....just little notes to share with friends.

New Project

So for my next project, it was my mother's 91st birthday and I thought I would put something together for her that she could take out and look at everyday and enjoy.

Front Cover

She loved it and looks at it daily!!

My First Cut

Ok, so this is my first cut with my new Cricut that hubby gave to me as an early birthday present.

I decided to make a valentine's card to send to my mother.

Then it was on to 3 more that were for my friends.

I didn't have any stamps so I just wrote with a pin that I had.

Then, I decided to do a quick little box.

Cute huh?

The New Cricut Expressions2

Here's the new machine

And after some tweaking I got it set up in a corner of the office

to use for now.
