2024 - March - April

 Great-great niece turns 5, I didn't know what she is currently into but who doesn't like Minnie Mouse.  I created this card in Cricut Design space with cuts and writing.

Great nephew who is an awesome hockey player, I created this card with Cricut Design Space writing and a Penny Black stamp sentiment inside with themed paper from my stash.

Great-great nephew is turning 1, Mickey Mouse to the rescue from Cricut Design Space for both the images and writing.  Googled a verse for the inside that was written with Cricut.

Great-nephew turns 18.  Created card in Cricut Design Space for both cut outs, scoring and sentiments.

My thanks to Julie DiMatteo of the Paper Pixie for this inspiration to create these St. Patrick's Day treat boxes for my grandkids.  You can find instructions on her blog.  While hers she used See's Chocolate Coins, I found Reese's Chocolate Coins at Big Lots.  Only problem was that one package had six of the large coins and several small ones, the other package only have five.  Rather than go back and buy more, I substituted four large and two small coins in each box.  

Thanks to Brenda Quintana of Qbees Quest for her Easter Treat  Boxes I created for the grandkids.  Instructions can be found on her blog.  It was a very easy and quick box to make and holds 18 Hershey Kisses. I added embellished ribbon around the box and extra embellishments to the top.  I colored with pencils, the ribbon is from Stampin Up as well as the egg stamps.

I received February's Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin kid and made these cards and treat boxes.  I did a print then cut in Cricut Design Space for the inside sentiments as well as to create the tag on bunny gift box.

I created these two cards that hold a battery operated tea light for Easter to send to two very dear people.  The design is from Dreaming Tree that I uploaded into Cricut Design Space.

I responded to a request for a cheer up card for a granddaughter of another card crafter who is 15 yrs old, a dancer who just had very serious knee surgery.  I looked in my stash of paper and found scraps of this dancer paper I had left.  I search all my idea files and created this bookbinding, circle fold card.  The dancer is and sentiment inside is a print then cut file I uploaded in Design Space.  I colored the dancer with pencils, silver pen and ink blended the background.  The ribbon is Stampin Up.

My father in law turns 97 at the end of March.  This card design is from Lori Whitlock that was uploaded into Cricut Design Space.  From there I edited to get the desired results.

One of my favorite Stampin Up Demonstrators' dog crossed the rainbow bridge back at the end of February.  I had made previous memorial ornaments when her mother and daughter's bird passed so I had to made one for her dog as well. I sent it to her for her birthday.

Made this envelope counting book for a great-nephew who turned one year old.  Credit to "What Cathy Catherine Proctor Made" YouTube channel.  I also made the box for it.  Papers and images are from Stampin Up, with a few I created in Cricut Design Space.  I was a labor of love to be sure.


Created this side step card for sister in law's birthday using Flowering Rain Boots stamp set and papers from Stampin Up.  Sentiments were created in Cricut Design Space.
