Thank you card using the new FREE stamp set Pair-A-Phrase

I have been playing with the stamp set Pair-A-Phrase which is free with a qualifying order.

This set is so darn cute and versatile! All of the stamps used on this card are included in this FREE double size D stamp set! This promotion will run Aug 15th - Sept 30th...don't miss it!

Of course, I had to use the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge to cut out the shape of the card...one of my favorite shapes!

Thanks for stopping in!

Wonderland Birthday Cards

I just LOVE the new Wonderland paper pack! So gorgeous! Even though it is part of the winter pack it is really versatile! These two birthday cards came together so easy using the Art Philosophy cartridge with my cricut!

Whale Watching Tour!

We took our family on a whale watching tour this weekend. Even though we have lived on this island for 11 years now we have never done this! Crazy! We were lucky enough to score a Groupon (love them!) discount and got a good deal on the tour.

When we first arrived we had to suit up in big red suits...not for the fashion conscious! We hiked down the hill and to the boat looking like we were a Nasa team off to the rocket launch! Quite a site to see!

Once we "gracefully" boarded the boat in our suits we were all ready to go!

The weather turned out to be ideal - sunny and as calm of waters as we could expect - Perfect!

We were lucky enough to see humpback whales and not only that but a mother with her baby! They were happy to show off for us and even jumped out of the water! For the baby we were told, this is called breaching - what a sight!

On the tour we also saw sea lions, sea otters, seals and a ton of birds! This includes one that I was not even aware of...the puffin.

As we headed back to shore we were treated to the site of two Eagles soaring the skies! They looked fantastic...until the started to swoop down on a poor seagull that was sitting on the water with little hope of survival! Luckily...the eagles did not make off with their prey in front of us! I know...circle of life and all...but I was happy to not be a part of that!

Now I'm off to work on design ideas for the Calendar Club!

Happy Crafting everyone!

If the broom fits...

I just love this quote!

This paper is the backside of the black strips of paper that I used on the pillow box! It is like having two completely different packs...love it!

Halloween Pillow Box

Thank you Tresa for hosting the New Product Blog Hop!

Here is my first posted creation with the new goodies from the Autumn/Winter 2011 Catalog!

The new cricut cartridge was used to cut out the pillow box and it is a fair size to be able to put some extra special treats in there! :)

I LOVE the new B&T paper - this is part of the Mischief package.

The new catalog is ready to go TOMORROW!!!

Well...I have worn out my copy of the new catalog...it is tabbed, divided and very thoroughly loved :)

I have to say this is my favorite catalog so far!

It is live and able to be seen on my website tomorrow! You can also request a copy from me if you are like I am and prefer to flip pages and hold it in your hand :)

That being said...I am in a BLOG HOP tomorrow with some fabulous CTMH consultants so you will get a look at some of the spectacular creations that can be made with our new goodies!!

Hope you make it back to the site to check it out!

Happy Crafting!
