New School Year 2010-2011

Nathan's I love how the tank and the "Boom" turned out!

Elizabeth's I love the paper on the dress, it is so cool!

Victoria's I loved the fireflys!  They are so cute!

Every school year, on the night before it begins, I make some kind of "Place Mat" for the kids to know where they will be sitting for the school.  So this year, being my first year to have my Cricut for the first day, I got to use it for them.  They Loved them!  Each one turned out really cute, and there is something about each that I really love. 

Happy 70th Birthday!

I made this card for my husbands Uncle's 70th birthday.  After he opened it, he came to me and said, " That is the most beautiful handmade card I have ever seen".  How sweet, is that!  That is alot of the reason of why I make cards, just because it makes alot of people know that there was alot of time and thought behind each one.  And alot of times, when I make these cards, I pray for the person or persons that it is for.  Well, I hope you enjoy what you see!

When Two Things Look Alike!

These cards were for two different purposes, one is for my neighbor who's sister just passed away and the other is of course, is a thank you card, for someone special to our family.  The lay out is the same but the paper is different, as you can see!

Birthday Card!

I made this card for my niece who just turned 13!  The funny part is that in our family, three of the girls, my daughter, and 2 nieces all are 13 for about 1 month.  So when they graduate, it will all be the same year!  A little scary, because when all is said and done, we will be broke!

Sweet Anniversary Card!

I made this anniversary card for my oldest sister who lives in Mississippi. I miss her alot, but sending her a card to celebrate her anniversary helps just a little. When I make a card for someone, I think of their likes and favorites, then from that I make the card. And while I am making the card they are in my thoughts and I sometimes say prayers for them as I am thinking of them. The funny thing is when I was making this card for her, she called me! I think she knew I was thinking of her! So what do you say when she asks, "So Beth, what are you doing?" Uhhh! Not much? LOL Too funny! Well enjoy!

More Thank You Cards

These are some of my favorite "Thank You" cards I have made. The black and white one received alot of compliments from, cricut.com. I had so much fun making these, as usual. Yes, I know that 2 of them are basically the same, and yet they are totally different.

Thank You Cards

Here are just some of the cards that I have been working on. They are "thank you" cards that I am making for our guest singers and such, that will be at our church on our 35th Anniversary Sunday. I think they all have turned out really great so far. Just a few more to do and then moving on to something else. I love making cards, it is so fun and so rewarding.

My Favorite Summer Flower

This is my Stargazer Lilies that bloom every summer for me! I love them and look forward to them each year. They grow from a bulb and bloom about 2-3 weeks after the 4th of July. They have a very strong fragrance. I picked one once and brought it in the house, boy was that a mistake. I sneezed and sneezed and sneezed until I took it back outside. The one year I had over 90 blooms between the 3 stalks. God makes such amazing things for us to see His glory, everywhere. Thank You Lord!

A 4 wheeling fun Birthday Card!

This card was for my nephew who loves to go 4 wheeling in the mountains. By the time he gets back he is covered in mud, so that is why I made him look a little dirty! I think he trys to hit every mud puddle possible. :-)

Birthday Card

This was a birthday card for my husbands grandma who has vision problems due to diabetes. She can see shadows and some colors. So I made her a card that she could feel and identify it with just touch. Yes, it is similar to the one I made that was a pivot card, for my neice. The major difference is of course the paper and that I mounted the flower on a card so that she could open it the normal way without confusion.
