Cards

I've had a side hobby for a couple of years. Card making! My husband Cory especially loved this when he found out that I do this. I don't know if he was impressed at the creativity or the money saving. But why blame him. That's why I started making cards, to save money. My cards looked like this one a lot. (my son helped by coloring the cake) I started getting more tools that would make my cards better. I haven't taken a picture of all of my cards. I know that I've made over 30.
These two Cory helped with. He really liked embossing a card. Some times when I'm in a crunch I have him do the embossing.

I made this one at a stampin up demo. Notice a theme yet? I mainly make birthday cards. I'm trying to expand my card making abilities.

Then for my birthday (Sept. 3) I got myself a CRICUT!! I've wanted one of these machines for a while. This is one of the cheaper machines. The bigger ones can fit a 12x12 or 12x24. This one is called a Personal Electronic Cutter and holds a 12x6 mat. I've used it quite a bit! I'm so glad that I got it.
Here are some of the cards i've made with it so far. I'm still trying to get better and I think I am.
