I am so proud of my daughter, I just have to share. She has Aspergers yet manages to function quite "normally" (whatever that truly is). Anyways, this is her second year of basketball and she is really starting to become a player. I'm trying to learn how to do digital scrapbooking, since I don't always have time to get it done otherwise. This is one of my first attempts. And yes, she made the shot :-)

Another January birthday - this is for my niece. I embossed the MPS Happy Birthday sentiment, but it's hard to see in this picture. I also used some Stickles on some of the  circles, but those are hard to see as well. I need to hire my 13-year-old to take my blog pictures!!!

Hope you're having a great evening.

My 22-year-old nephew sent me the sweetest note the other day. Apparently he wants to bring back the ancient art of handwritten notes! I discovered this smiley face the other day while looking through my cartridges (Wild Card), so I just had to use it. My nephew is the lucky one to get a card with it :-)

I made this card for the DL.ART 1 YEAR BLOGAVERSARY hop/challenge. 

Cardstock - Stampin' Up

Digital Paper - Jen Reed
Cupcake - Art Philosophy Cartridge; cut at 3"
#1 - Art Philosophy Cartridge; cut at 2"
Ribbon - Stampin' Up; certainly celery


Congratulations to Diana L. on one year!

"A" layout

I was inspired by Erica's challenge to her designers to use a cartridge that start with the letter A. I used CTMH's Art Philosophy to make the big "A" and the phrase "is for:". The paper is from my stash, so I'm not sure where it came from. Here's Erica's post:http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-new-year-2012.html

I had a lot of fun putting this together :-)

This card is for my sil's birthday. My family has so many January birthdays!

Layer - SU Island Indigo cut at 6 1/4 x 4 3/4.


Cricut Doodlecharms hat (used as a megaphone) and border cut at 2 1/2. Megaphone is SU Calypso Coral. I cut the border out of a cereal box, then layered Jen Reed digital paper from the Eat Cake kit, also cut at 2 1/2. I used the top of the hat for the extra "confetti".


SU basic pearls on the confetti.


I stamped the sentiment using a My Pink Stampers from birthday crazy. It's hard to see, but the sentiment is stamped using SU's island indigo ink.
