Update with Pictures

I couldn't wait to get home and find pictures to this layout. I wasn't sure how the pink would look, but I like it. What do you think? I still need to do the journaling later.

I used Quarter Note at 2" for the font. The owl, wagon and snuggle bunny were all cut from Sugar and Spice Lite cartridge at 2". I inked everything and added white gel pen for definition.

Baby Shower Invitations

Well, it's almost time to send out the invitations for my Daughter-n-Laws baby shower. I can't make up my mind how I want them to look so I keep making them different. By the time I find "the one" I want to use I'll have enough made and everyone will probably get something different. That's not so bad I guess. The second card I made using the idea in the Graphically Speaking book. I just used pink instead of blue. The first card uses the same buggy from Graphically Speaking and the scallop circle from Sugar and Spice.

Baby card and Sour Cream container

I am having such a hard time waiting to find out if my first Grand Baby is going to be a boy or girl. I'm making everything twice so that I have a boy version and a girl version. The pink card above was highlighted in the Cricut Chirp Newsletter on June29th. I thought it was so cute I had to made a blue one. I used the Sugar and Spice Lite cartridge on both, but for the blue version I was able to use my Gypsy to size everything. I love my Gypsy. It makes sizing soooo easy.I also made a pink sour cream candy container. Once I find out if we're having a boy or girl grandbaby I will make a bunch of these for the baby shower. It will be another two weeks until we know, but after that you will be seeing lots of baby stuff posted. I would also love to hear what you guys would like to see. I'm always open for suggestions or a little challenge. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Sugar and Spice Boy layout

I was going for versatility with this cartridge. I used Sugar and Spice, but instead of making a girl layout I wanted to make a boy layout. There are definitely girl images on this cartridge, but there are also a lot of images that can be used for a boy as well.

Sugar and Spice cartridge

Okay, so today was the day to play with the new Sugar and Spice Cricut Lite cartridge. This is a really cute cartridge and I have big plans to use it a lot. My son and his wife are expecting their first baby. We don't know if it's a boy or girl yet so today's projects were just practice. On the layout I cut the stork at 4", the tag at 6" and the Baby Girl part of the title at 1 1/2". The Welcome part of the title was cut using A Child's Year cartridge at 2 1/2".

Baby Shower invite

This is a baby shower invitation made with the Cricut Lite Sugar and Spice cartridge. I cut the stork at 3" and the scalloped oval at 4". The striped paper is Debbie Mumm. I used a Martha Stewart punch on the corners and the ribbon was just something out of my drawer. The lettering was done with some clear alphabet stamps I had in my drawer.
