Welcome...
So glad you chose to stop by!
I hope to use this blog to share some of my handmade cards as well as some of my scrapbook pages and maybe a few pics here and there that may or may not make it to a scrapbook page.
Scrapping for me is simply a fun hobby that I don't do often enough. More often than not, I'm a collector of all things scrap... i.e. tools, paper, embellishments...
Now to become motivated... Maybe this blog is just the way to do it...
Enjoy and come back SOON!
The Cutting Cafe has some of the cutest shaped templates! That's pretty exciting for me. This project was done with the OVERALLS SHAPED CARD TEMPLATE CUTTING FILE. The file comes in PDF, SVG, and WPC formats. I used my Pazzles to whip this card out in no time flat.
The file comes with lots of extras (for both boys and girls) so you can accessorize your project depending on your mood. Add plenty or a little. It's all up to you!
If you'd like to try some of the shaped card templates, you can find them HERE. There's so much to choose from!

I'm such a last minute card maker, but my goal has always been to have several kinds of cards on hand so when an occasion arises, I can just pull one from my reserve. This card will be part of my reserve. I chose not to put a sentiment on it until I decide how it will be used. It may be a kiddie birthday card, it may be a baby shower card... Who knows? At least the card is ready occasion come what may.
This cut comes from none other than the The Cutting Cafe and is called Dress Shaped Card 2 Cutting File. It comes with lots of accesories so you can mix and match as much as you like. Or you can do like I did and add some things from your scrapbooking stash. While I was at it, I decided to add a matching envelope... Why not??? The envelope is part of the Dress Shaped Card 2 set. How fabulous is that?
Enjoy...
Isn't this set adorable? It's one of the newer sets at The Cutting Cafe. It's the "Onsie Shaped Card Template - Cutting File". This set has so much to offer including a matching envelope and envelope liner. If you're like me, you've never met a shaped card that you didn't like. If that's the case, you can't go wrong with this set. Go on over and check 'em out!!!
BTW, the sentiment is also part of the many items that come with the Onsie file!!!
Enjoy...

Back again with another great challenge from the Cricut Cardz Site. This week the challenge is to make a baby card using the colors orange, green, yellow and white ONLY. I’m always challenged by color restrictions (unless you restrict me to my favorites black and some accent color). This challenge made me stretch a little beyond my normal color choices.
I think this little giraffe cut is too cute. As a matter of fact, it is so cute, I decided to cut a mommy and a baby giraffe. All in all, this was a fun challenge.
Details on cuts, cartridges, and sizes are below… All bling was applied with the i-Rock by Imaginisce.
Stop on by the Cricut Cardz Site and join in!!!
Cricut Cartridges (and sizes) used:
Card Base (2 5.5 X 5 inch welded ) – Lacy Labels
Card Layer (5.10 X 4.90) – Lacy Labels
Mommy Giraffe (cut @ 3.10) – Sugar and Spice
Baby Giraffe (cut @ 1.70) – Sugar and Spice
Large and small Butterflies (cut @ 2.50 & 2.05) – Lacy Labels

Since I was on a roll with the polka dot paper, I decided to create just one more. This time I created a card for a baby shower. My Pazzles was feeing a little lonely so I dusted it off and went to work. This dress card was created using a doodlebat font from ScrapNfonts called "DB Baby Clothes".
Enjoy...
I made this card for the coworker of a friend. The pink and brown color combo is one of my favorites. The Circuit New arrival cartridge was used for the Stroller. I’m managing to use all of my scraps as well. No new papers on this one.
Enjoy….
Well, I’m baby shower bound so a card is in order. It’s been a while since I’ve done a baby card and I wanted to make it a kinda fun card. This cute pink giraffe was cut from the Zooballa Cricut cartridge. Yep, that’s right – a pink giraffe because the color scheme (not facts) is the only thing that matters…
Enjoy!
Well, I had a request to duplicate a few of my cards. I’m only posting one of the three because the other cards were the same as the original (same paper, same embellishments, same sentiment…). For the dress card below, I changed the paper and embellishments. This is such a fun card to make. The dress is cut from the DB Sweet Baby Clothes font.
Enjoy…
I was asked to make a new baby card so it was off to the sketch sites for some inspiration. I found a great sketch on the Card Patterns Sketch Blog and decided to use it for my card. Two birds… One stone.. (right Kay???) ;-)
Enjoy…
I was asked to create a card for a coworker who just had a baby girl. I love making shaped cards so I decided to create a card in the shape of a little dress. It was easy to do with my Pazzles machine. The dress is a font called “DB Sweet Baby Clothes”.
My coworkers were really pleased with the card so I’m happy too…
Enjoy…
I had a few cards to get done this weekend. I even made matching envelopes too. The first card is for a baby boy. I used both my Cricut / Pazzles combo to create it. The second card is inspired by a similar card that I saw in the August 2008 Cards magazine. I loved the way they used scallops on the top and bottom edges of the paper. Since I’m always looking for ways to incorporate scallops this definitely worked. Finally, I have a simple bday card for my Aunt.
That’s it for now…
Enjoy...
A friend of mine needed a baby card for one of her coworkers who just had a baby boy. I love looking at the various baby cards that I’ve seen on blogs here and there, but I never really create any myself. I’m thinking this is maybe my second one.
That didn’t change the fact that this card was fun to create. Of course, I chose to use scallops (not a new concept for me… I believe 90% of my cards have scallops of some sort). I'm in search of a new obsession... Until then scallops are it...
Anyway, thx to my trusty little Pazzles, I got a chance to cut two new fonts, Revue and DB Sweet Baby Clothes. The baby booties actually started as a font and was converted to be cut with Pazzles… I’d say that’s a pretty neat machine…
Enjoy…
If you’ve visited my blog before you’ve seen several cards where Joseph is the focal… Well today he’s the little man of honor because he turned ONE!!! His Mommy and Daddy planned a birthday bash for him… Don’t know about you, but I’m of the opinion that all super special one year olds should have super special personalized cards.
The first one is a party hat that started as a piece of clipart and was converted using my Pazzles. The pictures on the hat were taken from Joseph’s Blog.
The train on the second card comes from the New Arrivals Cricut Cartridge. Got the idea of using the New Arrivals train from Regina Easter’s Bitten By The Bug (BBTB) Challenge.
And finally, the last card is a simple card made using the Pazzles machine.
Enjoy…
