Congratulations Travis!

My nephew, Travis, graduates from nursing school today! 

I made this card for him using my new Silhouette Cameo ... I am loving that wonderful machine more and more! I have had three Cricut machines ... the original Cricut, the Expression and about a year ago the Expression 2. I have always enjoyed using my Cricut and have certain cartridges I use ALL THE TIME, but when I saw the print & cut feature and thought how I could use true type fonts with the Cameo ... well I was sold. It didn't hurt that they were having an incredible sale. :)

The card style is from Lori Whitlock's store with Silhouette and I know I will be getting many things from her. I searched for a "heartbeat" and "stethoscope" and paid so little for them. I also used Tim Holtz Pocket Watches embossing folder by Sizzix. 

Anyway, congratulations again Travis ... we are so proud of you!!

I'll be posting some Christmas cards I have been working on tomorrow. All those cards are made using Papertrey Ink stamps, inks and papers ... just some more goodies I got and love. Thanks for dropping by ... see you later!

Finally ... Crafting Again!

I've been away from crafting for a bit and have really missed it! I made a card the other day for my sweet friend, Robyn, who wasn't feeling well. Of course, by the time she got the card I think she was all better. 

I have discovered Papertrey Ink  (PTI) and am in love with their stamps and dies!! I used their new stamp "Comfort Food Stamp Set" and the dies for that stamp set, the "Button Up Stamp Set" and dies, the tag is from the die set Tag Set #7, and the new "Sew Simple Borders Mini Stamp Set. The inks I used were Tim Holtz Distressed Ink: Festive Berries, Momento Ink: Tuxedo Black & London Fog, and Papertrey Ink: Harvest Gold. The paper is from Pinecone Press: Disneyish Happy Collection and Kraft cardstock from PTI.

Thanks for dropping by!!

My First Easle Cards & Pillow Box!

These cards are so easy and fun to make. What I like is there are so many different ways to make them. The last card is not an easle, but I received the cutest card and just had to card lift this idea from her ... Robyn ... wink, wink.

Thanks for looking. :)
