No Die Cutting Machine Used!!!




This is a quick card I put together for my DH's Admin. I used a pre-fold 5x7 card, cut the back ground paper at 5x7, cut the ivory card stock at 4x6 and ran it through my Cuttlebug using one of my Sizzix embossing folders, sprayed a little gold Smooch Spritz, attached the ribbon with blue staples, added a flower, used a foam dot to give the sentiment a raised look, I used rubb-ons for the thank you. Inside I just typed a few words using Microsoft word....Tah Dah...Done.

Expressions 2

I am on pins and needles...I was up last night watching the launch of the new Expressions 2 on HSN. I tried so hard to tell myself that I didn't need it. I even had my wonderful husband up with me. I was saying "you know you want it and don't wait until its too late!!!" I gave in....Now I am so excited for it to get here. It's saying that I should have it by May 6th.....I can't wait to play. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning.

Gyspy....Fabulous

I used my Gyspy with the Gyspy Wanderings Cartridge to create this card. To create the dress I used the shadow feature to create the solid background for the dress and cute the dress out again with patterned paper. I used stickles to add a little bling. I cut the word fabulous also from the Gyspy, created my flowers from white card stock with Tim Holtz ink added a ribbon and Fabulous is created....


Cricut Imagine Sleepover Invite

Class Reunion Poster



I made this poster board for a teacher at my DD school. They were having a class reunion and wanted to remember those that have passed on. Big thanks to my DH for helping to get it lined up correctly. I used SCAL and a free font that I downloaded and the Home Decor Cricut Cartridge.

I was so excited today....My Yudu Carshop came in the mail and I was so ready to play. Got it all unpacked and reread the instructions and looked at the enclosed DVD. In tried to make a couple of practice images with it and sad to say I am not happy nor impressed. I so sad to say I will be returning this.

This is a real bummer for me. There hasn't been a crafting item I have yet to return....I am so sad right now.

Blog Name

Thank you so much for stopping by. I created this blog to showcase things that I have created. I call them my Creative N'spirations. I usually find ideas online, craft magazines, blogs and forums. I use all types of crafting supplies..I currently own the Cricut Imagine, Cricut Expressions, Gyspy, wide format printer, papers etc.... I find that after having my Cricut Expressions for over two years there is still more to learn.
