Final Preschool Layout

This one is my favorite!  I used my Gyspy.  The handheld device that partners with your cricut to store all your cartridges and allows you to manipulate the images by welding them together.  I used one of the free cartridges that came loaded with my Gypsy when I bought it to make this.  I selected all different sizes of clouds and then made sure they overlapped slightly to weld them together.  I used foam tape to give them dimension. 
Supply List: White Daisy Cardstock, Honey Cardstock, Black Cardstock, Glamour Alphabet, NonCTMH patterned paper.

Preschool Layout 2

Here's another simple layout.  The background paper was already patterned slightly.  I used the Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut the stars.  With some layering and foam tape, you have the perfect embellishment.

Love Love Love Triple Stamping!

Here's a technique, I stumbled upon while viewing a fellow consultant's blog.  Her card was so very lovely, that I didn't change a thing.  Unfortunately her blog does not have a search button, so I am unable to verify that I got the original card from here.  I used Splitcoaststampers for the tutorial of the technique.  You can find that here.

The dimensions I used for my card were as follows: white cardstock- 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, 3 3/4 x 5, 2 3/4 x 4, and 1 3/4 x 3 black cardstock- 4 x 5 1/4, 3 x 4 1/4, 2 x 3 1/4.  A little tip, I put all the white pieces down and adhered them with one smidgen of tombow so they wouldn't slide around when I stamped it.  Then you simply pull them apart and put the black pieces in between.  Supplies used: Love Blooms Stamp set, Card Chatter Birthday, and ruby alcohol marker set, creme brulee alcohol marker set, and archival black ink.

Free Printable Movie Night Invite

Thanks to Pinterest, I was able to find this movie night printable for my son's 8th birthday sleepover movie marathon.  This is the first year, we told him that we would skip the party and he could choose 5 friends (and his brothers) to do something special with.  Well he chose to have a Bibleman/Old Transformers Cartoon marathon.  I love this boy!  Here is how the invitations turned out.  Here is the great blog that I stumbled upon that deserves all the credit. Here is the link to the free printable.
Here's the goodies for each guest.  The containers were $1 at Target.  Most of the candy was on sale after the holidays!
