My Super Hero

Well I know it's been a while, but this stupid broken ankle has me down! It takes so long to do anything in the house. This will hopefully be the last week in the walking boot, I go back to the doctor on Monday! Oh, how I can't wait to drive again!! On top of that the hubs has been working 12 hour days so he hasn't been able to help me as much as I would like :-(

So as a get well gift to my self (wink) I ordered two new cricut carts!! I was so excited when they came in the mail last night....(late, because I can't walk to the mail box I have to wait for the hubs to come home and check it). I got 3 birds on parade (SOOOO Cute!!) and New Arrival (it seems like all my friends are getting ready to pop).

This afternoon I worked with the 3 birds on parade. I made a birthday card for my grandad. So much of my stuff is girly so it's hard for me to come up with good masculine stuff. This one turned out pretty cute. The whole thing was made out of scraps which is good, because my scrap bucket is running over!!

I cut my super hero bird at 3", which actually turned out bigger than the card I had....note for next time. I used my sizzix texture maker with the cuttlebug swissdots plates for the yellow background and did a "stitch" doodle around the boarder. The bird is attached with pop dots so it's off the page.

Hope your all having a great week!!

Valentines Day Frog

Can you believe it's only a week till Valentine's Day?? I've got most of mine done, with 3 boxes going out in the mail tomorrow!! My sweet niece loves when I make her cards. My sister-in-law says she saves all of them :-) Melts your heart, right?? So you know when it was time to make her Valentine's Day card she got one that went the extra mile!!





I made this from create-a-critter. I cut the frog at 3 1/2, then mounted it on Kraft stock. I outlined the craft stock in white "stitches" and used one of my clear stamps for the Happy Valentine's Day embossed in white. The little 3-D heart is from Micheal's. It's super cute! I hope she loves it as much as I do....it's nice when an idea comes together!!

A few other exciting things. One Peachy Keen had their stamps on sale 25% off in honor of the pack winning the super bowl!! What a great deal. I can't wait for that box to come in. I also received my first custom order from my Etsy shop today. I'm really excited about that too!! I'm still out of commission as far as walking/driving because of my ankle, so this was the perfect time for this project to come my way.

When one door closes, another one opens, right??

Hope your having a great week!
