WIne Wrapper using Cricut Marth Stewart Cake and Thanksgiving Cartridge

Hey everyone--hope your Saturday is going well!  Today is my day over at Everyday Cricut and I am featuring a wine wrapper that is a perfect hostess gift for all the holiday parties that you will be invited to.

The base wrapper is 10 1/2" inches long and 5" wide, you apply adhesive to one end and wrap around the bottle--use your adhesive to close by layering the right over the left in the back of the bottle.  

You could even do this with simple pattern paper and not need any cricut cuts or embellishments!  Talk about easy!  

Head on over to Everyday Cricut to check out a bunch of pictures and some more pointers!  

Make it a great one!

Friday Funday....RGB Listing for Paper Trey Ink

Happy Friday!!!!  My weekend is short as I am off to Canada on Sunday afternoon.  Boy do I have a lot to get done before I go!

So there have been tons of RGB lists posted and since I have been able to find one for CTMH and Stampin Up--I thought what about Paper Trey Ink!  I love their paper and stamps.  Well I found one:
Paper Trey Ink RGB Codes (Samantha Peyton put this awesome tool together)

I have stated printing these all off--so when I do get an Imagine as it is going to happen I will have a great reference tool ready to go.

I broke down this week and did it--followed the peer pressure and joined the darn circle--I should have french manor in my mailbox today!  I love getting a good package in the mail!

Make sure to check out Everyday Cricut on Saturday as I have an easy fun project that will come in very handy over the next few months with all the holiday parties!

Happy Birthday Card using Cricut Simply Sweet

So this week must be celebration week at work--first it was an 40 year anniversary and now it's my boss's birthday!  I used Simply Sweet for this party horn card!

I had to use some stickles on the streamers to add a little somthin' somethin'!

I stamped a sentiment from Stampin' Up  and a couple strips of paper to finish the inside--still leaving plenty of room for everyone to sign with their own personal wishes.

I finished off this envelope as well.  I inked the edges and than used red Martha Stewart embossing powder for the Happy Birthday in the center!

Only two more days and we get another weekend.  I am on the road again next week so I have to get all my projects done before I go--this trip will take me to Canada and NYC!
Make it a great day!!!!!!

40 years in Men's Pants....congratulations card using cricut lacy labels

OK--I new that headline would get your attention!!! Today we will celebrate the 40th year our departments Executive Assistant's has been with our company.  It is rare to find someone that has been with a company that long.  Ms. Edna has done everything from purchasing to customer service to well--just about everything; And she does it with a smile.  She has an amazing history with the company and still has a passion for the business--so here is the card I made

I used lacy labels, some ink, clear embossing powder, glitter, and my xyron sticker maker (I love that thing).

I finished out the inside after adding a second inside card so everyone can sign it.  I added strips of  SEI papers that were used on the outside to tie it together.  I really love the envelope!

I used some clear embossing powder and a clear SEI stamp to add some extra pop to the envelope.  After using the heat embossing tool I took my cat eye chalk ink and inked over the embossing, after blotting the extra ink of this is the result--I really like how it came out--
Hope you have a great Monday!

Friday Funday....featuring a FOLLOWERS project

Happy Friday!!!!! Boy what a week it has been--I have to admit that I am toying with the idea of the cricut circle!  Should I or shouldn't I????
Guess you will have to wait till Monday to find out!  BTW anyone going to the scrapbook show in Kansas City on Oct 8 and 9?  Let me know cause I will be there!!!!

I love getting emails from you all and I got the best one yet this week.  Cathy, a loyal follower, has taken the exploding box I showed a while back and made an amazing card/gift for her grandson's FIRST birthday.  She has been making a card each month this year and then collecting  a picture with her grandson in it with the card--well she used all those pictures to make this!  AMAZING!!!!!!!!

I love love love the ribbon she made out of paper so it matched perfectly!

Look at how cute he is!  I just love how Cathy make the box look--with animals and nature.  She used the yellow ribbon to just hold the layer up so we could all see the creativity she poured into this project.

Here is the second layer!  Cuter than the first!!!! but wait--the center is so cool!!!!

I love the one candle!!  Happy Birthday Ryan!!!!
A big thank you to Cathy for sharing this with me and allowing me to share it with all of you.
I know you all love this too--so show Cathy the love by leaving comments.

Hope you all have a great weekend! See you back here bright and early Monday morning!

Last of the Birthday Scrapbook.......

Wednesday is here and boy can the weekend not get here soon enough!
Today we are wrapping up the Birthday Scrapbook

Not every page has to have a title or journal spots--instead of a title here I did some cuttlebug embossing and sanding

and a birthday is not a birthday with out some

I accented the letters with metal gems--you could do the same with brads

I also was able to hide a cd of pictures in the layout--Another Magic trick from the new CTMH book!

Since he was 30, and we were all leagal--we had cake and drinks instead of ice cream.....LOL

I added a little journal spot and punched the top to make it look like it was ripped out of a notebook!

At some point Elvis always has to leave the building-----

Make it a great one
