Let's Play

Man, four days without a Blog post...I've really been slacking!  Well, I've actually been working away on a couple of really big projects, but I can't post about them because they are gifts.  I've also been working on some Mother's Day projects (which aren't going so well), and I'm SO behind on my Easter cards this year...there's just not enough time in the evening after I put my son to bed to get it all done!

Anyway...I thought I'd dig something out of the archives to share with you all today!  I made this invitation for my sons 2nd Birthday Party this past October.  I enlisted my mom to help me assemble the 20 invites, and boy was I glad I did, she had a great idea to use "googly eyes" instead of paper, turned out so cute.  While the character wasn't that intricate, it does help to have someone assembling while you're cutting with the Cricut.  It's good social time too ;)

Here he is...the roughest, toughest cowboy around, Sheriff Woody!!!

You're Invited

My youngest niece is turning ONE! I wanted to help my sister create an amazing invitation to send out to celebrate this very special day, and she decided on a Disney Princess theme! We bought the Happily Ever After cart, and decided to use Cinderella & Snow White as the 2 main characters. We couldn't very well let the inside of the invitation go out plain, so we picked Dopey for the inside of Snow White, and a glass slipper for the inside of Cinderella.

Snow White, Cinderella & Dopey were all cut at 5" and put on a glitter mat (any smaller and it becomes very difficult to place all of the layers together), and the glass slipper was cut at 3". The invitation stamp is combination of a Reflections set & a Stampendous set.

Here is the final product...while it was A LOT of hard work (12 hours to assemble 36 invitations, with 3 people working on them), it was well worth it for our little princess Marley:
