Day 3 at Everyday Cricut ~ Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Everyone, happy Wednesday!  I can't believe that I'm half way through my Guest Designing week over at Everyday Cricut!  It's just going by soo fast!  Well today I wanted to change it up with my colors!  I normally wouldn't think of aqua  and peach as fall colors, but that's what I'm doing today!  A Thanksgiving Day card with softer colors!

 

 

Wrapping the wreath with  jute adds so much texture!

I embossed the kraft leaves with Teresa Collins Cuttlebug folder.  Also adding  jute, seam binding ribbon, and a hemp bow with a button finishes this wreath.  Yes, 3 bows, a button, and of course glitter on the lacy background!  You can't expect me to not use glitter 2 days in a row!  :)

After stamping the sentiment, I curled the banner.

A Simple Birthday Card!

Good morning!

I've been making so many cards lately that I'm wanting to switch gears and make some layouts.  The only problem is that I overthink layouts and sometimes they can take me forever!  I really need to finish my youngest DD scrapbook, I've said it before, but I really need to...she'll be 20 in 2 weeks!  I've got to get this done!  I've got to get this done!  I've got to get this done!  Ok...I just figure if I say it a bunch of times I will really do it this time!

As for my card, this card I made for one of my friends, her birthday is today.  She's a crafter too, so I gave her a  cartridge and made her glass etched candle holders.  Sorry I didn't take a picture...thought you might be tired of glass etching!  I used a vine image from Holiday Cake Cartridge, they came out really cute!  I'm hoping that she won't see this before I give it to her tonight. ("N" if you do see this, you're suppose to be working!!!) Oh ya, the card...I almost forgot!
