In Honor of William & Kate Princess Carriage and First Holy Communion Dress File

I posted this to honor William & Kate!  What a cute couple aren't they?
I made this for my Granddaughter Olivia. I created the SVG file for the Cuttlebug embossing folder.
I created a square bottom with scor pal to connect the two sides.  I scored a long narrow piece to attach to the bottom and the two pumpkin sides.  I put Diamond Dust from AC Moore on the horses and underneath their feet.  I put a piece of black where the upper half of the door should be and attached Olivia's picture to that.The parts and horses are from the Happily Ever After Cartridge.  The pink diamond is from Hobby Lobby.  I embellished carriage and Olivia's crown with pearls and rhinestones.  I used pink pearl dust and a swirl rubber stamp on the piece that's between the pumpkins.  I attached the horses with ribbon and put a bow on the back of the carriage. 
I attached everything to a big oval from the shapes library in SCAL.
 I cut the letters out from SCAL
If you would like the file for the pumpkin carriage let me know in the comment section below and I will post it next week.  I created it to fit around the embossing folder.
ENJOY!  I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU!!

Here is the dress file from last weeks post First Holy Communion 
 I also use this for a Christening dress just elongate it and 
shorten the length to make it look like it is for an older girl.

Shadowbox for First Holy Communion and SVG for Glamour Puss Kitty

                                                           Hi Everyone,
                                                       I hope everyone had a great Easter.
Easter is such a great holiday because He Is Risen thus we are saved!!!
I had a great time but always glad when holidays are over too.

I embellished this First Holy Communion Invitation for a friend.  The background paper is from the bin @ Hobby Lobby.  The bow I made with white satin ribbon. The corners are made from a Sizzix die.  The lace overlay is made from a Martha Stewart edge punch.  The swirl is made from a Cricut Solutions Home Accents. I just have it sitting there as I'm not sure if I want it there or not.  It gives the shadowbox dimension though.  I will pull out the swirl a bit more when I finish.  The dress is my SVG which I will post next week if you leave comments below letting me know there is interest.  I used tulle for the bottom of the dress, ribbon around the bodice, the flower is from ribbon, and the edging on the sleeves are a cutout piece from the overlay (Martha Stewart punch).  I blocked out the personal info for privacy purposes.
Thanks for Looking!!!!

Sweet 16 Card

I made this card for my Niece's Sweet 16 this weekend.  Whew. When you have a big family it seems like there's a party every other weekend.  The background is cameo coral card stock from Stampin Up. 
I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge for the little purse.
The animal print is her party theme.  I picked the animal print paper from the Hobby Lobby paper bin. 
The corners are Provo Craft die cuts.  The #16 is Sizzix Funky Brush die cut.  
I punched an oval and hand inked the silver and dots.
The eyes are blue rhinestones mounted on white. The nose is
pink paper with "triple thick" on it.  The collar is pearls
and a clear rhinestone.
The kitty and words "glamour puss" are an svg which I will post next week 
if there are enough comments to let me know the interest level.
Thanks for Looking.  Have a Blessed week!

  Here's the Easter Basket Bunny SVG File. I omitted it last week.

My Husband's 50th

This is my husband's 50th Birthday card which is today.  Happy Birthday Babe!!
Guess what his passion is.   I'll give you three guesses the first two don't count.
I followed the step card instructions for the base.  The mountains are a sizzix die. The tree is an SVG file which I'll leave at the end.  I used liquid applique for the snow peaks.  I drew the road first while it was flat and then glued candlescape sand from Pier 1 Imports onto it (you can get it at any hobby shop).I then painted the road and added white lines with paint. The grass by the sign is a sizzix die cut.
The motorcycle is from Toys R Us.  I had to buy one that was attached to a trailer to get it small enough.
I gave the truck and trailer to my Grandson. (He was none the wiser)
I  chalked the background with sky and sunset colors along with the ground and mountains.
The little guy is from my railroad people.  You can get them at a hobby shop that sells train stuff.
The sign is from Cricut's Going Places.
ENJOY!!
I LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!!

Easter Basket for My Granddaughter






I made these baskets for my Granddaughter Olivia.  Good thing I started Easter early whew!!  I made the eyes by punching out three ovals (two black, one blue) I glued them together and coated with "Triple Thick". Once they dried, I let them dry overnight, I penned white highlight in a starish shape.  I pencilled in the eyelashes first, when I was happy with the way they looked I went over them with marker. I chalked the cheeks and ears with pink.
The nose is just a rounded triangle with triple thick and highlighted. The front paws are ovals ( I have the files
if there is enough interest I will leave the files next week) I drew the paws in with pencil than went over them with pink marker. The back paws I have the file for. I just drew in the face same thing pencil than pink marker. The ribbon was a sale at Hobby Lobby.  I hot glued everything onto the basket. The whiskers are white wire.  I think I put white punched out dots over top by the nose.  The mini bunny tail is a pom pom, the big bunny is a cotton ball. The mini bunny is a box that a pen came in from the dollar bin at Michael's. (Not really a dollar anymore) I think that's everything.  If not let me know.

I LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!!

I will post the SVG's for the face, ears, back and paws next week as long as there is enough interest.
Leave me a comment in the "comment section to let me know if you'd like the files"

Easter Basket for My Grandson


Hi Everyone,
This is my Grandson's Easter Basket.  I used Cricut's Animal Kingdom for the face and tail.  I covered the spot where the eyes go with hard plastic so it wouldn't cut them out and used eyes from the craft store.  The eyelashes are from tips that I use in the dental office I work in.  The whiskers are white wire. The tushy and tail is in SVG but, you can just draw three ovals.  I chalked to create the delineation for the legs.  I had to make the tail huge in design studio. I created my own paws (also just ovals). I hot glued it to the basket.
If you want the SVG for the paws and tushy just let me know in the comment section below. 

I'm also adding the svg for the bunny from last weeks post as there was a lot of interest.  
In answer to the question"What paper did I use for the bunny card"?
I used white cardstock from Sam's club (like $7.00 US dollars for 250 sheets)
Bashful Blue Stampin Up cardstock the wheelbarrow was an older SU designer paper
The grass I used from packaging from I don't even know what.
Thanks for the lovely comments!
I LOVE to hear from you all!!

Cute Little House Picture Frame

These are my beautiful Grandchildren,
Olivia and Matthew.
I made this frame from  SVG CUTS called Strawberry Lane. This can be put into a shadowbox frame but I chose to put a magnet on the back and put it on my fridge. This is the first time I've purchased their files but, I will definitely be buying from them again. The files are very organized and you get  a bunch of cuts.

I can't give you the files for the house as they are copyrighted.

If you would like to know the details on either project just let me know.  ENJOY! I Love to hear from you!

 This is an Easter card for Matthew.

Spring Time Card


Happy Monday Everyone!
I guess I'm getting anxious for Spring!
This is my husband's Easter Card.  I tried not to make it feminine.How did I do?  I found this stuff at Hobby Lobby called Triple Thick brush on gloss glaze for the clock pole.  It's similar to Stampin Up's Crystal Effects but much less expensive.  Now I have to put it in something to help me keep the bubbles out of it.The post is from the Cricut Christmas Noel cart. The clock is an SVG file.  The clock face I printed from the web and used S.U. markers.  The bird is a Martha Stewart punch. The flowers and stems are punches and the centers are pearls.  The words are from SCAL. The silver paper for clock is from SU.  The close up picture is the true color. I normally use pastels but liked the way these bright colors came out.  The blue is from Hobby Lobby single sheet section.
ENJOY!  I LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL!!

Favors for First Holy Communion



These are favors I'm doing for a client for a
First Holy Communion.
I used  Martha Stewart-Double Arch Large 
Punch Around The Page Set for the handle.  
Cricut-Tags, Bags, Boxes and More  
Popcorn Box set at 6".  
The crosses are Michaels 8 pieces 
"Jewelry Essential Findings" Charms 
found in the Jewelry Aisle.
White satin ribbon.  White card stock.
I punched one side of the paper for the handle then 
I measured by eye, leaving space for the ribbon 
with wriggle room for imperfections and then measured
the amount I would need for the punch design 
and punched the other side.  
It is put together with terrifically tacky tape so it's strong enough for candy.

Thanks for looking.  I LOVE to hear from you and would enjoy seeing your projects.
