Tinker Bell scrapbook page...

This is a Tinker Bell scrapbook page that I created as a surprise for a friend whose daughter had a Tinker Bell themed party a while back. 
I cut the Tinker Bell at 8"...it was a pain in the rear do get the eyes and lips cut.  I tried I think at least 6 times...
If anyone has any times on the settings I should use for really small items PLEASE let me know...

The word "Beautiful" was also cut from the Tinker Bell cartridge.
I used a Martha Stewart punch on the bottom of the black card stock
I used Vanilla Ice Smooch Spritz on the black card stock and "Beautiful"
the printed paper is from an American Girl stack
the the Glitter paper is from a DCWV 8x8 Gitter stack

Spring card...

I am not sure if I like this card or not...I have a friend who purchased a Cricut and 15 cartridges and I borrowed one of her cartridges that I have wanted and made this card....
This was made with Stretch Your Imagination and I think I cut it at 5 1/4.  I used a floral stamp with a lighter pink and then used a red with another floral stamp on top of that.  I added a little bit of stickles and used a Q-tip and stamp pads on the flowers on the frame...I also added a piece of white paper on the inside of the card for a backing to the word "Spring"...

Girl Scout cookies delivery day

this is what my troop leaders front room looked like after we unloaded ALMOST 400 cases of cookies from their trailer to her front room...
and this was after we had loaded at least 1/3 of them into the cars of the people who picked up their orders...

Tri-fold birthday card for neighbor...

I have 5 boys that live next door and I don't really have a darn thing to make cards for boys...so, his mother said he likes red and black for colors and dogs and monkeys...and this is what I came up with...



Birthday tri-fold card...

Here is a tri-fold card that I did for my friends daughter for her birthday...she loves Jacob from Twilight and I could not find anything from Twilight last minute...so, I took a picture from a candy bar wrapper and used Tim Holtz memory glass to put the picture behind and then used the foil tape to seal the two pieces of glass together...I used the same method on the other side but with flowers...

and the monkey ribbon also is from there...
