CRICUT Steals!

JACKPOT!!!

Ebay can be a very dangerous place! I recently treated myself to a Cricut Cartridge shopping spree and ended up scoring BIG! I won 6 cartridges for the fabulous price of...... (Insert drum roll)

$144.00

+ Free Shipping

YES! It's all true - All these Cartridges were brand new in their boxes, sent free to me for a fraction of the retail price. I can't wait to start scrapbooking and card making with these images.

Homemade Cards

How much do you spend on Birthday and Special Occasion cards?

My Mother in law mentioned to me a couple months ago that she spent $35 on 5 cards. REALLY!!??

So I started making my own cards for Mother's day, Father's day and Birthdays because I refuse to pay $5, $6 or even $7.95 per card. By making my own cards I can get as creative and personal as I want and not have to settle for a cute card with the wrong saying or the perfect card at a high price.

Card kits can be found at Michael's or Joann's at a great price and if you use a coupon they're a steal. Add a few embellishments, a stamp, a sentiment and/or a personal message and you're done!

Cookie/Sweet Exchange

Do you like to bake? Do you enjoy eating homemade baked goodies?

I absolutely LOVE to bake so I thought it fitting to create a card/invitation with a baking theme. This card would be perfect for a cookie exchange at the holidays, a summer recipe swap or to give that special someone who's on the receiving end of that freshly baked apple pie.

I always add Chocolate chips to my brownies because that's how I have always made them for my husband so why stop a good thing. I also bake them at 325* in a dark non-stick pan for 28 mins. Perfectly moist chocolatey Brownies.
