Hope you join me on the adventure!

It is a pleasure and an honor to be this week’s Guest Designer at Crafty Card Gallery! Thank you for the invite Jennifer!

A little about me…I am a scrapbooking and card making addict…lol; love my Bugs and Martha Stewart products. Due to my love of scrapbooking I was inspired to launch A Crafter’s Haven which is an online scrapbook store.

My first post is a Baby Girl Card. This card was made primarily with the Cricut Imagine. Due to the size of the card I made a custom envelope with the Martha Stewart Scoring Board; dimensions are listed.

Hope you like...would love your feedback!

It’s a girl scallop and Tag - size 3.7 inches; re-cut the lamb and bird layers then added pop dots

Cricut Imagine- Love You Card

Wow...I can't say I'm going through scrapping withdrawals anymore...lol.

I made this card for a very close family member currently undergoing chemo for breast cancer...to let her know how much we love and admire her and she's always in our prayers.  I was also able to enter it in a few challenges:  Emma and Sarah Imagine Nation Monday (Polka Dot), My Pink Stamper (Think Pink Project) and Cricut Cardz (card for Breast Cancer Awareness).

Cartridges used:  Cricut Imagine Best Friends- pattern papers, Love You (popped up) and Nursery Tails- squirrel, butterfly and mushroom.  Cuttlebug for embossing- Seeing Spots Folder.  Stickles on the butterfly, drew drops and rhinestones for added embellishments.  Hope you like...would love your feedback!

Cricut Imagine- Baby Boy Card

Wow...I can't believe it's been this long since my last post.  It's amazing how fast time flies!

This is my very first project with my Imagine.  It's a very simple card using one of  the test cuts from my previous post (waste not want not).

Cartridges used:  Wall Decor and More- sentiment & Imagine- Nursery Tails- front image.  Cuttlebug for embossing- swiss dotts folder, goggle eyes to enhance frog (front).  Martha Stewart Punch on corners, stamped baby rattles (inside).  Supper simple card...hope you like.  It was fun experimenting with the Imagine.  I have found a new best friend. 

Would love your feedback.
