Happy Father's Day! (card)

Happy Thursday! Yesterday was a great day, we had Nicki's Graduation Ceremony and then the rest of the day just hung out.

So I decided to apply for a job, part time at the college. I did this over a week ago and I started to think for some reason that I wasn't going to get a call. I also applied at the animal shelter around the same time. I need a job to help pay for an unexpected financial situation that will come up next month. On top of that I want to save for our move next year. So as of yesterday morning I had not heard from anyone. Now on Monday I won an Elmer's Glue prize pack from a blog hop that was going on over at Nikki Sivils blog, I was EXCITED to say the least. I knew at that moment that good things would happen this week. LOL! Well yesterday I got the call from the college asking for an interview. I won't make much but they are willing to work around my schedule. So if I want to work a couple hours here and there in between classes and such then I can. I am SUPER excited. :-)

So today I have a card to share with you that I made for my dad. I used papers from Artful Delight's March monthly kit (sold out).





I used my Cricut and an svg file that I purchased from SVGcuts.com. Since I don't have many cartridges I usually purchase svg files from either SVGcuts.com or MyGrafico.com. There are so many cartridges out there that I want and I just can't afford to buy them. My next best alternative is buying individual files as needed from those two sites. :-)

I made a few changes to the card. Well nothing to the svg cuts just added some extra touches. I cut some clouds with my Cricut and used the as a mask for the sky. I used some removable adhesive, adhered them and then sponged around them with Broken China distress ink. Then for the patch of "grass" I just sponged some Peeled Paint distress ink.

For the inside of the card I used a font pre-programmed in my Cricut and welded the letters together.

I have to get this card in the mail today so it can hopefully (fingers crossed) can reach my dad by Saturday's mail delivery.

That's all I have for you today but be sure to stop by tomorrow because I will have a fabulous LO to share with you that DT member Debbie created. :-)

Happy Crafting!!

Jolly - Cricut Card

Hello there my friends! It is just over a week until Christmas and I am almost done with my cards, WAHOOO! Should have them done today and in the mail. Yesterday was a fabulous day. Tony finished up his finals in the early part of the day so we had the evening to spend together and it was wonderful.





We decided to take our kids to see Santa. It was the first time my 3 lil ones saw him. They did very well actually. Then we ended the night with pizza, it was so pleasant. No one was screaming at dinner or running around. We laughed and talked and it was just wonderful (days don't happen like that very often, someone is usually in a cranky or obnoxious mood, lol)

Isabel didn't not seem too happy but she did sit nice without crying. Anywho, next I have a card to share that I made using my Cricut and an SVG file I purchased from SVGcuts.com. I made 2 other cards using the single purchase, the Gingerbread Man and House.

So sorry for the really nasty picture, it has been super cold and super windy here in Virginia so I had to take the picture at night and the lighting was horrible.

You have until tomorrow at midnight to get in on my giveaway(s). So be sure to click here and leave a comment to enter. :-)

Happy Crafting!!
