'SAVE THE DATE" cards

Everyone knows how popular it is to send out "Save the Date" cards when planning a wedding - well, I've decided to make some for my next swarm! Here they are and I plan to give them out at the Sept. Swarm so the girls will save the date in October for our "Spooky Swarm."

September Swarm

Here are the placecards I made for the upcoming September Swarm - theme - Fall (of course).. Wonderful Kim is designing a layout this time for us to make so we will have some place to put our "traditional" swarm photo.

I'm pretty proud of myself (not because of the cute Cricut leaf from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge) - but, because I used some OLD rub-on alphabets for our names... remember rub-on alphabets? I must have hundreds... so I decided to use some up! LOL

A couple of cards made with my Cuttlebug chandelier embossing folder, Cored'nations black/purple cardstock sanded to reveal the purple core, old Anna Griffin purple patterned paper, and silver and yellow stickles applied to the flames and crystals....

Thanks for looking....

Another card which I have made into kits for the upcoming swarm....

Here's a little "sneak peek" of some placecards I have been working on for the Sept. Cricut Swarm - with a Halloween theme.....

Another card - I am definitely enjoying my day off! Thanks for looking!

The latest card I made with my Cricut (me thinks this is becoming an addiction!?) But then again, it's better than hanging out in bars or at the casino! Kathy - that last dig is for you!!!

Here's the latest card I made using my Cricut and the new "Bloom" lite cartridge.

BACK YET AGAIN!!

I can't seem to manage working fulltime, TRYING to keep up with my scrapbooking and craft projects, continuing to work at the 'Doodle, occasionally Facebook-ing AND still find time to update my blog. So, I have neglected my blog for just about a year now, and I thought I would at least ATTEMPT to post something..... So here goes....

I'm posting a picture of a Cricut card I made the other night, and I will try to update my blog with more of my Cricut creations. I will be hosting a "Cricut Clinic" at Whimsodoodle once a month to help Cricut newbies come to love their machine as much as I love mine. Plus, Bob and I have some travel plans coming up - a trip to Venice (Italy - NOT Florida), and then he's off gallavanting (sp?) around the world for a good part of the Fall, leaving me free to attend Cricut swarms, crops, retreats, etc....

So, thanks for your patience.... and I'll be back with updates - I promise, more regularly than every 9 months.....
