Girl Baby Shower Jungle Theme Invitations

My SIL is having a baby girl, and I made the baby shower invitations to match her nursery theme "Jungle Jill."  I have been so busy making more than 50 invitations, and party decorations I have not had much time to blog.

Monkey-Sugar and Spice cut at 1 1/4"

Elephant-Sugar and Spice cut at 1"

Crazy Looking Roses

My husband gave me these tie-dyed roses, I had never seen anything like this before.

I just had to share.

Valentine's Card | S.W.A.K.- Glitter Lips

Here is a card I put together using 5" lips from "Love Struck" Cricut cartridge, and welded them together.  I then added Martha Stewart glitter, and cut out S.W.A.K. (sealed with a kiss) and also glittered them.

Inside I stamped and embossed with Stampin' Up.

Simple & Quick Scrapbook Layouts

Since I am so behind on scrapbooking, just finished 2007, I have made very simple and quick layouts.

Knifty Knitter Loom Knitting

For my birthday my Mom bought me looms from Knifty Knitter, which is created by Provo Craft.  I have never knitted in my life, and these looms made it so simple.  So far I have made 2 scarfs and a baby blanket.

I am still needing to learn a lot more so I have been going to You Tube and just bought a book "Loom Knitting Primer" by Isela Phelps which has a lot of basic information.  In the book she lists essential tools which I bought just about everything from Crochet hooks, stitch holders, to tapestry needles, counters and knitting gauges.

I am really having fun with knitting, that I have been neglecting my blog and paper crafts.

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas!!!  Can't believe I have not posted anything or crafted. I was sick for about two weeks, and the other time was spent Christmas shopping. Usually I have all my shopping done weeks in advance, so that I can wrap the presents and enjoy looking at them under the tree.  This year I was still wrapping on Christmas Eve, and making Christmas tags with my Cricut. 

 I used Very Merry Tags and cut every shape at 3".  I must have a coordinating tree from the ornaments, wrapping paper and tags.

I was so pleased that my husband did not mind me having a pink, black and silver tree this year.
