Here is a simple card I made using Seeing Spots Embossing Folder and Floral Embellished Cartridge and new Bo Bunny dotted paper.

Here is a cute layout I made for a recipe swap. This pasta is so delicious. You can find the original recipe www.eatingwell.com.

Carts used: Paper Lace & Audrey
Rosette made using tim holtz sizzix die.

Here are cards I made using Swiss dot embossing folder and tie the knot cricut cartridge. The first one is personalized with monograms because I am going to a wedding and the next one is just a general one with a wedding cake on it to use up the paper and add to my card collection. Every scrapper should have premade homemade cards ready when needed. =)



Here is the inside of the cards. I just used scraps.

Here is a layout I did for a contest at a crop at my LSS. I had 2 hours to do a layout. This made me really realize how slow of a scrapper I was. I was rushing like crazy to get this done. I love how it turned out. I won first place and got a fabulous prize. I love the crops at Remember When in Valencia, CA.

Cartridge: Paper Lace
Paper: Stampit up

Here is a quick simple layout I did of all the grandparents with their grandchildren around thanksgiving. Paper is SEI. Cricut Cartridge is Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

Here are some handmade flowers I made for a swap. It's been quite a long time since my swap days. But hey the chance to get alot of fantastic handmade flowers. I'm in!!!
