This is an anniversary card that I made for my daughter, Madison and her husband, Cory for their 1st anniversary…I used one of my Cri-Kits pens from http://www.cri-kits.com/ . I am having so much fun with these pens!… If you are interested in how to use the pens to make them line up just right be sure and watch both videos.. There is a part 1 and a part 2. I hope that you love this card…it is simple but I thought that the simplicity of it is what added to its charm. Thank you so much for looking!!

When I gave my brother, Jamie his get well card... my sister-in-law, Stacy wanted a birthday card for a friend of hers... she said that there were four of them that hang out together and this card would be from three of them... after a few days.. of thinking... and praying about it...when I get a request my brain shuts completely down for some reason.... anyway after a few days of thinking and and praying about it and  a weekend away at my daughters I came up with this idea.... I so hope Stacy and her friends all like it!!!... thank you so much for looking... and I love love your comments!!... they so encourage me to create!... Hugs, Jeannie

Small Chicks cut @ w 3.10 x h 2.35 ...on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 1/4 inches.

To make the grass images I cut 4 grass squares from Easter 2010...flipping two of them from left to right and welded them together onto a square from George ... all of this is in red on the mat because it is all welded....on the Cricut  I would cut out the squares with a paper trimmer and adhere the grass square from behind.

Chicks (they are cut with the mama chick... I moved her off the page so she wouldn't cut) cut @ w 5.13 x h 4.03...I duplicated the first set...flipped it side to side..turned it each a little so the chick would cut and I could up the mama off the edge so she wouldn't cut...on the Cricut I would cut these @ 4 inches... and flip one of the sets...if you don't have the E... you can turn your paper upside down to get the images to be flipped.
Easter 2010
Tall Grass cut @ w 2.17 x h 1.42.. you will have to unlink the width and height to get these measurements...I selected 3, flipped the middle one side to side and welded them together..to get the width I wanted I placed a square on my mat...made it the size of the card background and use it as a guide for my width...then I deleted that square..... on the Cricut I would cut these at 1 1/2 inches and over lap them for the length.

Short Grass cut @ w 2.17 x h 1.21.. you will have to unlink the width and height to get these measurements...I selected 3, flipped the middle one side to side and welded them together..to get the width I wanted I placed a square on my mat...made it the size of the card background and use it as a guide for my width...then I deleted that square.....also on this cut I grouped the grass together...and flipped the entire image side to side...so my grass would be "growing" in the same direction as the other layer of grass..... on the Cricut I would cut these at 1 1/4 inches and over lap them for the length.

This is my Cuttlebug Spot Design Team card for this week.... it was one of those that took me a while... but when I got it in my head I was just too too excited to get started... I must thank Robin aka RCZ28 for getting me started on my idea... she did a beautiful card with this most adorable stamp (click HERE to see it!)... and she did a wonderful job on it... when I saw it I knew I would have to use that phrase on it in some form or fashion someday... its adorable!!... so her card was in my head when I started thinking of what I was going to do for my "Celebrating Education" card for this week... be sure and check out the other Design Team members cards they are great!... just click HERE to see them!

Open book cut @ 4 1/4 inches.

I cut the cover in red and the 2 sets of pages in off white...I glued the pages down in the middle..pop-dotted the edges of the last set of pages from the book cover. I then glued the center of the pages, on the top layer, down in the middle.. put a pencil under the page and pop- dotted the edge of the page from the first set of pages to create the hump in the center that adds the real look of an open book.

The Missing Piece

I made a card for Craig earlier but didn't like it... we had cake for him and Sharon at work today so I made him a new one!!.... Craig had to pass a test before he could do his practice teaching and graduate.... it was a hard test... he took it 4 times ... we were all so excited when he passed this time..... so I though this puzzle piece with the male teacher on it would be wonderful for Craig a card.... masculine cards are so hard!!.... so I was tickled when this one turned out... only my second time to do circle text.... I was so excited that it turned out so well!!.... thanks for looking! (My camera was messing up and I was in a hurry so I didn't get good pictures this morning... made the card before work...now that is love! lol... I did get a new camera tonight!)
