Hello! Today I'd like to show you some invitations I made.

In September among the craziness in my life I got a new calling in my church.  I was called to be the Young Women's  President.  Crazy!! For those that might not know what this is; I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Our group of girls are ages 12-17.  Well I've been asked or called to preside over them to be there leader.

We only have a few girls that were coming regularly and I wanted to extend an invitation to all the girls.  I wanted to get to know them and have them get to know me.  So what better way then with Chocolate, LOL.  We did a chocolate fountain.  I made up invitations to personally invite each girl.

Each invite was a little different

All the animals are cut using the Cricut

The banner and the Sentiment is from the Silhouette.  I really like cutting vinyl for the sentiment.  I think it looks better than stamping and I can make it say whatever I want.  The Silhouette cuts so intricate I just love it for the small things. 

The turnout for our night was AWESOME!!  We had more girls come then have been in months.  I'd like to say the cute invites helped, LOL.   

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.  I hope you come back again soon.

Baseball Easel Card

Hello again!!  Long time no talk.  This summer has been CRAZY!!

I have been crafting my little heart out just not taking the time to blog.  I'm hoping that things

have, maybe, slowed down enough to breath and well blog, lol.

My husband is a Travel Baseball Team Coach of 12 yr olds and with Travel comes LOTs of expenses.  We don't want money to be the issue for some of these players so we get a lot of our money from Fundraising and from donations or "sponsors".

Being the "Crafty" Mrs. Coach that I am, I made these cards up to give out to those who have helped our team out.  Our Team colors are Yellow and Brown so I made the cards in the Team colors. 

This is how the card would come out of the envelope.  It measures 5x61/2.  The baseball and the baseball player silhouette are from the Silhouette store.

Once the card is opened up this is how it sits.  I made the banner with my Silhouette and used vinyl to cut out the sentiment, also with the Silhouette.

So I hope these little cards will let those who have helped our boys out know that we truly appreciate them and there support.

Well that's' all I have for today but maybe tomorrow I will show you the T-shirt I made for the hubby.  Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again soon!

God Bless America

                                      Hi everyone!  I know it's been awhile, again.  

                       I swear its always something.  Does anyone else feel this way?

                       My son plays on the All-star baseball team and a travel baseball team

              and my husband coaches.  So we are always, it seems at a game, practice or 

              tournament. Well this last tournament we came home to find we had been burglarized. 

               Yep and guess what was taken?  Well besides the obvious TV, Xbox?  My husbands                                         

                   laptop, ouch.  But here is the painful part....        My Gypsy was gone! 😫

                     Yep they took it out of its case and left the case. But sadly I still had all my cartridges

              So I wasn't too upset (yes I was).  I had my Silhouette still right? WRONG!!  Well I have my             

              Silhouette but my laptop was gone.  It had pictures and SVG files and design studio, ugh!

        

         Although this was devastating to my crafting the fear and feeling of violation to the kiddos was    

           Worse.  My sons championships rings were gone.  My daughters room ransacked.  I just don't      

           Understand how people can do this.  But we all have learned from this and are trying to move 

           Forward.  

          So on a more positive note here is the last project I made.  Thought they turned out great 

          And they look great on my piano.  

                So I hope you like my patriotic decor.  I also hope this posts the way it's suppose to as I am writing from my iPad. Thanks for dropping in to take a look.  Hope to see ya agin soon!!

                                               ❤-Sarah

Saxophone Happy Birthday ~ Never-ending Card

Hello and Happy Hump day!  Today I have another Never-ending card I made for a customers brother.  I always ask what there favorite color is and what they like.  She wasn't sure on the color but she knew he liked music and played the saxophone so this is what I came up with.

The Saxophone guy is from the Cricut cartridge Quarter note.  I cut it out once in gold and once in black and then cut the sax out of the gold cut and added it to the black cut.  I really like how it turned out.



So there you have it, today's never-ending card. I hope you liked it, thanks for stopping in to take a look!

Happy Birthday Mom ~Never-ending Card

Hi!! Guess what I have to show you today? Yep you guessed it, another Never-ending card.  This card I made for my sweet mother in law.  Today is her birthday so what better day to show off her card.

 

Again all cuts are from the Silhouette store. I love that place!

Thanks stopping by and taking a look!

Baby Banner

Good Morning! Today I wanted to show off a little baby gift I made for my daughters STUCO teacher at school.

The kids are so excited for the baby and for there teacher. They threw her a little baby shower at school. My daughter asked me to make a banner and this is what I came up with.

I love making banners!! I wish I had more time to do it.  I would make a banner for every person for every occasion.  But I don't have the time so when I do have to make a banner I enjoy every moment.

Well thanks for stopping by to look at my banner.  

Hawaiian happy birthday ~ Never-ending card

Hi and happy Saturday. I can't believe I am out of town at another travel baseball game for my son.  We were just at one on memorial weekend.  But they are doing fantastic and this weekend is the state championships.  Then they go to the World Series in August.  We are so excited!!

But anyhow, back to the post at hand.  I wanted to show a card I made for my nail lady for her mothers birthday.  

When I asked Jen what her mom liked she said Hawaii and flowers.  So I went wit a Hawaiian theme.  

When I hear Hawaii I think of hula girls.  I found this cute hula dancer in the Silhouette online store and thought shed be perfect.  Same with the hibiscus flower on front, perfect!  I've found since I got my silhouette I hardly use my Cricut.  But I guess I'll save that for another post. 

Then like any of my other never-ending cards I make the little pockets for you to write a message or even tuck money into.  I sew the pockets with sewing machine to give it a little added detail.  

Then the back I covered with the same paper from throughout the card.

    So what did you think?  I was happy with it and Jen said her mom loved it,yay!

Thanks for stopping in and taking a look.  I'm hoping to keep the posts coming!  Have a good day!!😀
