I saw Linda on Paper Boutique do a card with a silhouette and I remembered that the Heritage cartridge had a few. This card had been started but I never finished it. So I used George and Basic Shapes to cut the ovals and the sentiment shapes. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Designers Choice. I used my Irock for the bling.
I live in a small, quiet college town in Vermont. My husband and I have been married 30 years. We are both native Vermonters and have raised four children. I cannot imagine living any other place. The winters are long and you need a craft to help you through it. I have fallen in love with my cricut!! I've always been a crafty person since I was a child and have discovered a new passion.....card making!!

Child's Birthday Card
I love this dinosaur from Create a Critter. He was cut at 4" and I did 3 layers of different colors. I ran him through the cuddlebug using the Tiny Mosaic embossing folder. I inked around the card and over the embossing. I used a pair of scissors that are different designs to cut around the sentiment. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Simple Sentiments clear stamps.

Rosettes
Hi Everyone, I have learned how to make these great rosettes from The Paper Boutique blog. The paper is from American Crafts and the card is at 5 X 7. The cupcake is an extra one I had around so I'm sorry to say I don't know what the size is. The rosettes are very easy to make and Linda is an excellent instructor. Check out her website at http://paperboutique.blogspot.com/search/label/rosettes You will not be disappointed.

Happy President's Day
Hi Everyone, This has been such a wonderful day off. I spent a couple of hours with my 92 year old grandmother. Then I came back home and made a couple of baby cards. No one I know having a baby, but thought it was good to have a couple on hand in case someone might need one. The paper I bought at T. J Maxx and it's from Anna Griffin. Great paper and so cute. The stamp was from My Pink Stamper, Family & Friends Stamps. The twine was from Pink Cricut. The cartridge was New Arrival. Hope you like it.

New Cards
I haven't posted in a while I know, however, below are a few new ones. I've been making cards, I just haven't been posting them.
Truck Birthday Card
Here is a card from "Just Because" Cards Cartridge. Another great cartridge and a must have for Cricut users. Everything was cut at 4". I had my father in mind when I made this card. His birthday is in May. Between now and then I'm sure I will make many more with him in mind.
Kick up Your Heels!!
This card was made from the Birthday Bash cartridge. This is a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" card. The silly dog was cut at 3", however, I wish I had cut him out a little larger. The stamp was from Scrappy Moms.
Cats Meow!!
Here is another card made from Nifty Fifties. I cut this cat at...I beleive...3 3/4". I didn't write it down. Sorry. Once again the stamp is from Scrappy Moms.
Teenage Birthday Card
I have the hardest time making masculine cards. However, Edna, aka Pinky at Create with Expression, made this card and I thought it was so great for a teenage boy or a 20 something young man. She made it for her 21 year old nephew. This card is from my new Nifty Fifties cartridge. I am loving this cartridge. I bought it thinking I could make some nostalgic cards for my parents. However, anyone would love cards made from this cartridge. The guitar and notes were cut at 4 1/4". I used brads at the bottom and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms. A must have cartridge. You won't regret it.
A Card from Our Puppies to their Cousin
Here is a card I made from our dogs to my parents dog, Josie and my sister-in-law's dog, Bailey. It was my first time flocking on a card. You probably can't see it (its the black part of the dog), but it turned out great. This card is from Create A Critter. The dog was at 2 3/4", the dish was at 3/4", and the bones were at 1/2". The sentiment was from Scrappy Moms Love Notes. I really like her clear stamps.
