You're Just My Type

Hi everyone! My wedding anniversary was last month and I'm just getting around to sharing the card I made for my husband. We celebrated our 18th anniversary on September 11. I am looking forward to many, many more anniversaries with this wonderful man ♥. The card is an SVG file from Lori Whitlock that I cut out using my Cricut Explore and all of the sentiments are from Cardz TV Stamps. I will be entering this into Cardz TV Anything Goes Challenge #18. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Cardz TV Card Challenge #3 - Make a Card using a Fun Fold

Hello everyone! It's time for Cardz TV Challenge #3. This challenge is to make a fun fold card, e.g., box card, easel card, s-fold, etc. I made this cute little easel shaker card for my son's fiancée for her birthday, which was October 6. They have a bulldog and I thought this was perfect for her card. Love the fall colors with it too. For my card I used the Cardz TV stamp set Critter Punnies. The cute bulldog is a freebie (Fall Bulldog) from Deedees Digis. I got the inspiration for this fall bulldog image from Craftypaws blog.

A Birthday Pocket Letter

Hello everyone! I have jumped on the Pocket Letter bandwagon. I think they are really cool, so I made one for my niece, Brooke, for her birthday. It took me awhile to make it and come up with some ideas, but in the end, I think it turned out super cute. In the pockets I've added:

• Washi tape and stickers;
• Ghirardelli chocolates;
• Decals for her nails;
• Shaker pendant necklace with her initial inside;
• Zinnia seeds for her to plant;
• Ribbon;
• Die cutouts to make some bows like the one above the birthday bear die cut;
• Die cut lacy oval to use on a project; and
• More Ghirardelli chocolate (can't have too many of those!).  

I had a lot of fun making this and will make more for other occasions. You should give them a try! I hope you enjoy my project.

Hello everyone! Welcome back for a new challenge at Cardz TV. This is Challenge #3 "All In Our Places" - Create Place Cards for your Thanksgiving Table. Fun, right?! I am making these cute turkey treat boxes to put by each place setting at the table this year. I have two made so far and still have quite a few more to make. Each will have a sentiment from Mary's stamp set "Thankful for You". This set has just the right sentiments for so many Fall and Thanksgiving projects. I found the turkey treat boxes at SVG Cutting Files (#PP-906 Turkey Treat Box). Each little box will be filled with the fall colored M&M's. Perfect for the Thanksgiving table.
