Baby Shower Centerpiece

Here's a baby shower centerpiece I made.  The expectant couple are big football fans and they are having a girl, so I thought the pink footballs would be appropriate!  I used the New Arrival Cricut cartridge for 'It's a Girl' and Sports Mania for the footballs and football helmets.  It's not quite done.  I think the pieces need to be arranged a bit better and it needs some pink shredded paper in the pot to hide the oasis.

March NSSS package from Chantal

I just received this great package in the mail today from my NSSS Chantal (aka Ryansmom on the Cricut mb)!  Chantal made this beautiful card and the crockpot recipe layout for beef stew that sounds so good (and easy to make which is important to me as I'm not the world's best cook)!  The package was also full of goodies including Martha Stewart glitters, which I have been wanting to try for a long time, cute boy-themed ribbons, fancy brads, eyelets and buttons.  Thank you so much Chantal!

Cupcake Card

Here's a card I made for my NSSS, Chantal.  I was trying out my new CTMH cupcake stamp set!  You can't really tell from the photo, but the cupcake is attached with pop-dots to give the card a bit of dimension.  I also used the Fiskars threading water punch for this card.

Sesame Street 8x8 Swap

Here is a 'Snuffy' layout I did for a Sesame Street page swap on the Cricut MB.  I will be using this album for photos from Ben's 1st birthday party, which was Sesame Street themed.  

February NSSS Package

I just received an awesome package in the mail yesterday from my 'not so secret sister' on the Cricut MB, Chantal (aka Ryansmom).  I can't wait to try the Reeses Peanut Butter Squares!  They sound delish!  Chantal also made a beautiful handmade card and put tons of great goodies in the package including adhesive flowers, buttons, pop dots, a zig glue pen, dimensional stickers and even self-adhesive photo mats (I thought these were really cool... I never knew such a thing existed!)  Thanks for everything Chantal!

A Few Recent Projects

Here are a few recent scrapbooking projects that I completed.  The '9 Months' layout is for a baby swap on the Cricut MB.  

The Sesame Street centrepieces were decorations I made for Ben's first birthday party.  

2009 Calendar

It was really slow at work today, so I ended up doing some scrapbooking!  I actually finished a project for my parents that I had intended to give them as a Christmas gift.  It's a scrapbooked calendar.  I used a Basic Grey calendar kit, but it still took me a long time to get this gift finished!
