Episode 117: Western Wedding Shower Card

Happy Monday crafters! This card was made for my cousins wedding shower.  It's based off of his wedding announcement.  In their picture they are standing in front of a barn and it has him and her with a plus sign in between them then an equal sign and a rustic heart.  So I tried to replicate the barn door w/ the heart hanging from it.  Details of how I made it in the video.

Also, I haven't heard from a couple of the winners for my giveaways last week.  So double check to see if you were a winner.  It's in the post below.

SUPPLIES:
Old West Cricut Cartridge - Barn Door
Don Juan Cricut Cartridge - Heart
PTI - Scarlet Jewel, Dark Chocolate, and Vintage Cream cardstock
White Gel Pen
Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Ink
Sponge Dauber
Burgundy Twine
Rustic looking brads

Insanity Baseball & Giveaway

Hi Crafters!  I was able to get two projects completed so I have one today and another one on Friday. YAY!  :)  Today's card was made for my sister.  She needed a thank you card for her daughters softball coach.  Their colors are red & black and their team name is Insanity.  Thought the cut was perfect for it.  Found out it is!  The tribal band look is on their team posters.  Had no idea.  lol  :)

The cut came from the Silhouette store and can be found HERE.

Something funny about today's giveaway.  I bought it because I love the design of the stamps and the dies that go w/ it.  A few weeks later I bought it again because I love the design of the stamps and the dies that go w/ it.  I forgot that I had previously bought it.  If you saw my post last week, goldfish brain.  lol  So you benefit from my terrible memory.

Surprises and Birthday Celebration

Hi everyone!  I wanted to give you two updates:

1 - I hit my goal of 80 lbs down by my birthday.  Birthday on Sunday and hit 80 lbs down today.  That's 80 lbs in 6 1/2 months!  Woo Hoo!!!  Yeah, I'm happy.  :)  I also posted another pic in my 'A New Me' tab up above.

Simply Thank You

Hi crafters!  Here is a super simple Thank You card.  It seriously took me about 10-15 min putting it together, if that.  This cut comes from the April Showers cartridge.  Love this cartridge because they have the cutest cuts and the simplest layering.  :)

Don't forget about the Simply Crafts challenge that is going on right now!  I'll also be having a giveaway next week in celebration of my birthday.  :)
