Finding the Perfect Pumpkin

Greetings all!

Here's a cricut-y page I made last year. I used We R Memory Keepers papers for it. Let's see if I can remember some of the sources for the cricut cuts...  the sign came from Campin Critters cartridge, I used my gypsy to add the words to cut out of the signs, and cut two signs (one flipped) and glued them together. I tried welding them together but for some reason that did not work. I cut two more signs out of the light color to put behind the brown.  The horse is from Create a Critter (of course!).  The fence I think came from Everyday Pop-up Cards, though I am pretty sure I stretched it taller on my gypsy.  The pumpkins came from Pumpkin Carving I think. However, that cartridge doesn't have layers so I probably cut two sets, one in orange, one  in green, and made my own layers. I think I also drew lines with a fine pen. I don't remember at all where the leaves came from! There are so many to be found on cartridges.  This is one I really had fun making! ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday time!

My son's birthday is November 1st. :)  We're having his birthday party today! Since we're having it at a pizza place, I did not make a huge pile of decorations or anything, but I did make the invites and some masks for the kids. My son chose a hard theme to decorate for... and I was lazy. LOL

Here are the invites:

My son wanted a wolf theme for the party. There's a story here:  When I was pregnant, two of my good friends were also pregnant. We were talking names one day and one of them said "if it's a boy, we're naming him Aidan Wolf" and the other friend said, "What a coincidence, we're naming ours Frederick Wolfgang".  So I said, "wait a minute! I want in on that! I'll put wolf somewhere in my son's name!"  So we all did! Kevin James Wolff is part of the wolf pack of boys born in 2006. ;)  Anyway, my son thinks it's cool and wanted a wolf themed party.  He told me the imagery he wanted as part of the theme and I made the invites accordingly! The card base is from Cricut Wild Cards and the wolf portion is from Pumpkin Carvings. :)

I also made the kids some masks to wear.

I made two each of all the masks, the cats are the only ones that are different from each other though. These were made from the Cricut digital image set Animal Masks.

And guess what! Everything was made using my stash. :)
