Teacher Appreciation Week!

I was asked to make some teacher appreciation cards for a few friends for there kids to give out.  These are the two cuts I came up with and just changed out the background papers.  They came out so cute.  I love how the books came out with the string tied around them.

Recipe:

Cardstock: Kraft from Papertrey Inc,

Backround paper: DCVW, Hittin the books stack

Cricut Carts: Locket Talk, Country Life

Ribbon: Stampin Up, Old Olive

Happy Mothers Day 2011

I think this card will be one of my favorites so far.  I have entered it into http://papercutzchallenge.blogspot.com/ Challenge #90 and http://morethanfavors.blogspot.com/2011/05/wacky-wednesday-37-mothers-day-theme.html Wacky Wednesday Challenge #37

I hade so much fun making this card, I really hope my Mother gets it in the mail in time.  I made it on time, but couldn't seem to get it in the mail box.  I created this card using my Gypsy just to make sure it would fit in an envelope and the Apron fit within the card.  I used the Cart From my Kitchen for all the cuts.  I welded the Stove at the top to make the card base.

I absolutely love the way this card came out.  I was so excited to send it off to my brother.  I used the over the hill on the Life's a Party cart, and thought the Vulture was perfect to put on the outside of the card.  Yes, I got a call and he Loved it!

Nifty Fifties Cricut Cartridge

All made from Scraps

I really do hate having so many scrap pieces of paper.  I do not throw anything away if it's bigger then around an inch.  The following cards were made from mostly ALL scraps.  I did throw in a few new pieces of cardstock.  Enjoy!!

I just love this card, although I did scrap lift it from http://www.creationswithchristina.com/  Check out her site, she is awesome.
