Created this Clean & Simple CAS style It's a boy Card using New Arrival Cricut cartridge in blue colors.
Some of you may know I cannot ride a bicycle unless it is a Tandem Bicycle like hubby & I have but I can fly single engine planes so I chose the Airplane theme and the banner was perfect for stamping the sentiment.
Have 2 people I know that are pregnant and neither are going to find out the sex of the baby so I figured I'll make a boy one & then make a girl one also. Already made the Mommy to be cards. One is due in Jun & other in Oct.
I wanted to make a tiny blue bow but am not good at tying bows; especially not small ones. I have a Bow Maker that I bought online from Cathie Rigby but the s
mallest space for the pegs is 1" and I wanted a smaller bow with spacing of 1/2" so I got out some styrofoam and used the pegs from the Bow Maker and pushed them into the styrofoam with a spacing of 1/2". Not as easy to make & tie with that small of a spacing but was so pleased with the bow.

Created these St. Patrick's Day Charms that can be party favors.
Created these St. Patrick's Day Charms by altering cardboard from a cereal box & Sizzix Shamrock die. Hubby liked the Oats, Raisin & Honey Granola cereal. I'm more of a Cheerios (regular kind) or Chex (Corn or Rice) or Corn Flakes or Kix sort of cereal liking gal.
A group that I meet with each month create a project, the owner of the store does a demonstration for us to make a tag and we do swaps. Hostess gets to choose the swap theme which this month is Charms; must have a jump ring.
