Special Thank You Card

A co-worker wanted a unique thank you card to thank her doctor for the great service he provided throughout her treatment. Here's the card I came up with...fitting, given she was having her wisdom teeth removed :)

Valentine's Day Cupcakes & Winners

Happy Valentine's Day! My co-workers and I were all asked to bring a little Valetine treat to share at work, and needless to say, I wanted to get in a little piping practice...you know what they say - practice makes perfect!! I wanted something sweet to top it off, so I made chocolate candy hearts, and I was actually pleasantly surprised at how easy they were. Yummy!

Blog Candy Winner The winner of the Cooking with Cricut Sweetshop Blog Hop "Rose & I Love You" file (chosen using random.org) is Vivi!

Hearts & Flowers

The theme this week at Cooking with Cricut is Hearts & Flowers, and to be honest, I was a bit stumped. Then I had an idea that would involve both - a heart-shaped, rose bouquet. Many quilled flowers later, here's the final project...

My Project
I wanted something "manly" - no ribbons, no glitter, just football - but when I came up with the design, I realized I didn't have the 'field' paper I wanted. So, I created one myself by cutting strips of green paper and adhering it to white paper with a gap in between. Here's how it turned out...


As you know, I recently took a cake decorating class and when everyone was asked to bring something to the party, I immediately volunteered some cupcakes - it's good practice, so technically, I was being selfish :). Here's my yummy cupcake (red velvet with cream cheese filling)...

I must say it was rather nice thinking ahead to Spring, after being snowed in for four days straight. Yup! Texas actually got an ice/snow storm! When I think of Spring, I think of flowers, and that is exactly what I wanted to incorporate into today's project. I hope you like it!

High Heel Invites

I had another order for girly invitations, and I didn't want to just recreate my "Juicy Couture" purses. I gave the client a few different options of designs, prints and colors, and she wanted some heels, zebra print, purple & aqua - these are for a girl's 13th birthday/slumber party/Justin Bieber 3D movie night. This is what I came up with, and suggested they add the movie ticket stading straight up behind the invitation to add something to it.
