Family trip 2011

I just returned from an awesome trip to Florida.Nothing like butterbeer in Hogsmeade...sweat running down your back...wand purchases from Olivanders and lunch at the Three Broomsticks. We had a blast. I also visited Disney...therefore I have copious amounts of pics to print and organize...and eventually scrap  :)...Yippee!!! Lee-Ann :)
ps...if you go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter...do try the butterbeer(yum)...I'd skip the Pumpkin Fizz(gag!)

Wishing you a banner year!

I ordered a few stamp sets from Joys Life.com. When I saw this cut on the Birthday bash cart...I just had to make a card using the sentiment...Wishing you a Banner year. I love my puns...I can't help it...they always crack me up. I'm sure my fellow scrapping pals would say...Lee-Ann can't make a card without a pun...this isn't necessarily true...it's just not as fun.(ok...I was going to type the word pun in there...i'm hopeless! )

Recipe:

• Joy's Life stamp sets-Wildlife puns and You're so punny
• Cricut cart-Birthday Bash
• Imaginisce-i punch tool

I used the new i-Punch tool from Imaginisce to punch out the eyes and glue paper behind them rather than sticking down tiny little eyes...they're hard to glue down...and sometimes they fall off.

Have the Hoppy-est Birthday!

The cutest saying for the cutest little cut! I know everyone is probably getting sick of Birthday Bash and my puns...but I can't help it...I'm addicted to a funny pun.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #37

I decided to join the Cricut circle weekly challenge...this week. The site has had designers that have showcased different techniques. I chose to try Suzanne's technique of Cuttlebug embossing vellum. I cut an extra flower layer out of vellum and used embossing plates to emboss...it gives the flowers another layer and texture. Since I had the Cuttlebug already out I embossed the background paper too. I know Mother's day is a long way off, but as I was working on the card...and it just screamed Mom's Day.

1. MME Stella Rose-Hazel paper
2. Bazzill-craft cardstock
