Lady & The Tramp

Okay, I'm finally getting the chance to upload the photos of my daughter's spaghetti dinner where she had the idea to get one end of the spaghetti and her daddy get the other end. Unfortunately I missed the 'kiss' at the end, but they are still CUTE!!!! :o)

Gel pens

OH MY GOSH!!!! I just tried something on my Cricut and IT WORKED!!!!! Something was mentioned earlier about using mini Sharpies in the Cricut instead of the Cricut markers. Well, I remembered having some tiny gel pens that I bought CHEAP in the dollar spot at Target. I wrapped some paper & tape around a pen and tested it. I had to remove a little paper a few times to get it the right size, but IT WORKED!!! Woohoo!!!

Anyway, enough of my excitement! On with the photos!

I just did a simple word - Hello - with DJ Fancy font. The white spot at the top of the "H" is because I didn't prime the pen before using it. My bad! I'm learning and that was just a test! ;o)

Please let me know what you think!

As requested, this is what the pen looked like BEFORE I "papered it up" - LOL I put the tape measure there so you could see approximately how long the pen is. They're very small ones.

Here is a photo of what my pen looked like inside the machine. LOVE THIS!!!

Anniversary Card

Okay, I decided that since I learned how to (sorta) make cards, that I need to make them for every occasion this year. Well, we're 3 weeks into the year and I've already fallen off the wagon!! Ugh! My parents 32nd wedding anniversary was yesterday and I didn't get a card out in the mail to them on time. Thankfully they've been at their beach house doing repairs from the hurricane! LOL Maybe they won't notice the postmark date, eh?

Anyway, here is the card I threw together tonight. The paper is from Paper Pizazz. I think I bought it at Michaels on clearance when they did the 7/$1 paper a week or two ago. The cake is a stamp that I stamped, cut out, colored and added Flower Soft to. The bead accents on the paper, I glitzed up with Stickles! The "Happy Anniversary" I cut in SCAL with Wrexham font (love that font!) and used chalk ink to make it gold. The envelope was a pre-made A2 card envelope that I added the Paper Pizazz paper to.

It's not dry yet, but I'll get it out in tomorrow's mail. Better late than never, right? ;o)

Psst, if you don't know where to get Stickles and Flower soft, click here. Kim is the owner. Tell her Billie sent you. She'll take good care of you!

Thanks for looking!

More Cards...

Okay, last two cards for the hospital, making my total count 14. Not a bad number, I don't think...especially for someone that as of two weeks ago had never made a card. LOL

Okay, these cards were made for the 'boys' in the hospital, since someone said she leans toward boy cards more because she only has boys. SO, this card's for you!!!

Nothing earth-shattering! Blue card blank, blue patterened scrap paper from a small paper stack, kiss (Posh Impressions 1994) stamped and embossed with silver powder and ivory ribbon. Very simple!

Thanks for looking! :o)

Beautiful Cowgirl

Although my daughter is absolutely NOT the Cowgirl type, I decided to title the page "Beautiful Cowgirl" because she was acting the part at the moment. I used SCAL to cut the words on my Cricut. "Beautiful" is done with the Wrexham Script Font and "Cowgirl" is done with 2Peas Essential. I used pink ribbon with white polka-dots and 3 different colors of pink flowers with Stickles in the center and pop dots for dimension. The lacy border along the bottom of the picture is a Martha Stewart punch.

Thanks for looking! :o)
