Handmade "Frozen" themed Invitations!

Hey there crafty neighbors!!!  I'm just popping in to share some adorable invitations I made for my daughter's birthday next month! 

For the past few months she has insisted that she wants a "Bubble Guppies" party.  So, being the "crafty" mom I am, I spent hours creating cut files for Bubble Guppies invitations and party decor.  Then, like almost all four soon-to-be four year olds do, she changed her mind!  TRUE STORY!!!  Now, what kind of party does a four year old want these days?!  A Frozen party, of course!  So again, I spent hours creating cut files for a Frozen themed party using my new Cricut Explore and Design Space.  I absolutely could not be happier with the results!!!  

Here's a look:

Aren't they just adorable?!?  I am in love with these cute little pop-up cards!  

 The detail on these snowflakes in AMAZING!!!!  I really don't know if there's another machine out there that can cut this intricately!  I mean, these flakes are probably smaller than a quarter!

The best part?  These fold up nicely to fit right into an envelope for mailing!  How cool is that?!?  

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Colorful Creations New Sketch Challenge!!!

Hello all and Happy April!!!  Spring has finally arrived and the weather here is absolutely beautiful today (better than all the rain from last week!)!!!

I'm here today with a new sketch from Colorful Creations!!!  Here's the sketch:

I've been working on a Vacation Album for my father and Step Mother so you'll be seeing quite a bit of these pics!!!

Any who... Here's the layout:

This picture was taken at the local Car Museum in Grand Cayman!!!

I chose to use the Heidi Swapp Travel Themed paper pad to make this album, although I will likely run out of papers after finishing less than half of it!!!  I tried to keep this page pretty simple, using die-cuts and fussy-cut items from the paper itself!  

I used a stencil and some dark blue Luminarte Silks acrylic glaze as well as a chevron stencil by DCWV to add some detail to the background.

I also used the paint to color the tiny wooden stars and camera by Studio Calico!  I finished the page with a couple of handmade rosettes and an "adventure" stamp from Hedi Swapp!!

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
