I have recently finished my first paid job. I am so excited! I have done a lot of invitations and cards before for people, but I just created 70 bridal shower invitations for a coworker of my husband. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
She is getting married in a few months and is having her bridal shower in June. I used my cricut and created the His and Hers Towels from the Sweethearts cartridge, on page 68. The bride wanted a black and white theme, but loves sunflowers, so I added a touch of yellow to the cards. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I cut each towel and the layers out at 4". I also used DCWV background paper from.... The card is 6.5" x 5". Not all the background papers were the same, because I couldn't find patterned paper in the amount that I needed, but I think that the different patterns made for a fun change. There were 9 of each pattern, for a total of 70 total cards. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I am going to be selling my invitations and cards on Etsy now, so I hope that you will come by and check out what I am offering. I will also be doing custom orders, just e-mail me with what you want and I will work with you.</div>
<div align="center">

Thanks for stopping by and checking my invitations out! Now for some pictures!!<br />

So, my sweet little neice Peyton's 2nd birthday is coming up next month and I volunteered to do her invitations for her party. I have done her <a href="http://croppinmommadesigns.blogspot.com/2010/01/baby-shower-invitations.html">Baby Shower Invitations</a>, and her first birthday invitations, so I thought it only fitting to continue the tradition and do her 2nd birthday. She likes Dora, so I decided to add Dora and Boots onto the invites. However, as many of you know there is no Dora cartridge (yet! anytime PC). So, I used a combination of Paper Dolls for Everyday, Paper Doll Dress Up, and Create a Critter and my own freehand face to create them. I printed out the actual invitation on white cardstock using Word and a Text Box. Enjoy!!</div>

Today I want to try and get everyone's input on something. If you had to give one tip on how you stay organized or "on schedule" with every day things, what would it be? <br />
<br />
With a new baby, an old houes to pack up, and a new house to organize these are the things that are on my mind lately. <br />
<br />
So, if you have a tip, any tip, that you use daily then let me know and the best ones I will post in a post another day. I look forward to all the wonderful ideas that I know all you bloggers have!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699207580048678889.post-49949106778727191232012-02-19T14:28:00.001-05:002012-02-19T14:28:10.660-05:00Update!<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey Everyone! Wow, I haven't posted in a really long time, I know. We have been really busy here with a new baby and another huge change coming to our household. We are going to be moving! We are so excited. This house was getting a little too small for us, with three kids, two adults, and two cats in less than 1200 square feet. We are going to be building a house and it should be ready the beginning of June. Yes, that soon! Plus, I will have a nice area in our new basement for all my scrap stuff, I am so excited to have a nice space all to myself!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I still have some projects that I hope to get posted soon, as well as some that are in the works that I will hopefully also be able to get posted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, until I get everything posted that I want, here is a picture of me and my three little kiddoes and our new house...well, at least the basement! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!</div>

Hey Everyone! Wanted to check in real quick and let you know that I had my baby girl on Tuesday. It was a quick labor, only 1 1/2 hours of active labor. She was born at 1:46 pm on the 3rd of January and was 6 lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long. She is beautiful and we are all in love with her including her big brother and big sister! I will try and post some pictures later, we definitely are not short on those, I just haven't had a chance to load them onto the computer yet. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I am so excited to get back to scrapping, especially for our new bundle of joy. It probably won't be anytime soon, but as soon as I get into a routine you better believe I will be back in my scrap room!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>

This is a layout that I made for my mom for Christmas. Two years ago I had made her a Scrapbook with about 20 pages already done in it that she could just add to...however, she has never added to it. So, I decided that I would make her another 3 pages so that she would have one for each of the current grandkids and all she would have to do it add the pictures.</div>

Good Morning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, this morning I woke up with the feeling that I should really try and get as much done before the baby comes as possible in the next week or two. So, I do have some posts that are all ready to be posted, as well as some projects that I need to get done this week, however I might be MIA for the next while. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did go to the doctor yesterday and she said that the process is started, so that means that it could all start tomorrow or in 8 weeks...love that! However, with the way that I have felt lately I can just tell it's gonna be sooner rather than later. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So without further ado here is another Christmas Countdown Card with the cute little Gingerbread Man from Winter Frolic.</div>

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I am so greatful to have such wonderful family and friends. Today has always been my favorite holiday, because it's not about presents or one person in particular, but about being together as family (or friends) and being thankful for each other and the great gifts that we are given in our lives. </div>

Hope that you all have a wonderful day (eat lots of turkey!) and leave me a message telling me what you are greatful for on this wonderful holiday!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699207580048678889.post-76196968175113684002011-11-22T00:01:00.000-05:002011-11-22T00:01:02.096-05:00Countdown to Christmas Cards #4<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hope everyone has a great week! I have a ton of cards and 3 layouts that I cranked out this weekend ready to post. So, make sure that you come back each morning this week for something new!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699207580048678889.post-81547255219708196062011-11-16T12:46:00.000-05:002011-11-17T09:16:47.796-05:00I Am Not SUPERMom<span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Two posts in one day I know! If you are looking for my Christmas Card post please go here...</strong></span><br /><a href="http://bushelsandbushels.blogspot.com/2011/11/countdown-to-christmas-cards-2.html"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Countdown to Christmas Cards #2</strong></span></a><br /><br />This is what I am trying to keep in mind these last few weeks of this pregnancy. I am starting to feel very overwhelmed with the numerous things that need to get done, along with all of the daily things that seem to be not getting done. My sleep is becoming non-existant, making my energy also non-existant. <br /><br />However, I am trying to remember that all those things don't matter. My kids don't care if I am the perfect mom, they just want to be loved and I give them that. So, even if there is a pile of dirty clothes on their floor, the refridgerator is over flowing with things that need to be cleaned out of it, there are 2, yes 2, bags of garbage still in my kitchen that need to be taken out, and the dishwasher needs to be unloaded so that the dishes that are in the sink can be loaded, the only thing that matters is that everyone is happy and healthy (we're working on the healthy since we have all been sick this week). <br /><br />So, my confession today is that I am NOT Supermom, nor will I probably even be and I am okay with that. Anyone else feel like they are an unSupermom living in a world that makes you feel like you should be and do everything?<br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699207580048678889.post-48590303830974708532011-11-16T03:00:00.000-05:002011-11-17T09:43:06.862-05:00Countdown to Christmas Cards #2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the second day of my Countdown to Christmas cards.

Hope that everyone had a fabulous weekend! My weekend was very busy trying to weed out all the toys that the kids don't play with in preperation for all the toys that they will probably get for Christmas. My wonderful husband worked so hard moving so many heavy things, including 5 TV's that we donated to Salvation Army, and countless number of clothes and toy bins that we had to organize. Luckily, all these things are down in the basement where we have our "toy room", as well as, my scraproom. So, that meant that my scraproom got all cleaned and somewhat reorganized too. Which also meant that I got to do a little bit of scrapping this weekend, yeah!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I whipped up this Thank You card real quick last night for my parents. Every year my parents get us something that we need for the house for our anniversary. It just so happens that right around that time this year our freezer pooped out and we needed a new one, so that's what they got us. We are so lucky!! So here is the card that I made to say Thank You. Check down below for the recipe.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvHNQyaWUBDESbu4Vplg4a8SU_A6FnZd7XaBx4l07iJolkasOUtfDuNbDN20KrBNIZRZtYuDoP8hCorGHEku6ovPG2REFYcXgJrxNlunUilnJuKx_iUIJ1FwZbZ1gxkb1i1hADQIwxv9Gq/s1600/P1040003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvHNQyaWUBDESbu4Vplg4a8SU_A6FnZd7XaBx4l07iJolkasOUtfDuNbDN20KrBNIZRZtYuDoP8hCorGHEku6ovPG2REFYcXgJrxNlunUilnJuKx_iUIJ1FwZbZ1gxkb1i1hADQIwxv9Gq/s320/P1040003.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV3jp0aLAGtpitATIC4fkcVNlNisHCVG7YjEMat4Js8a9LzR1zVH5OCLohfR--fLyvZOIcZeOxZ7U8-3RIK8fxB-gVxsm5tgGDqxjHP4Dv4p73-hzzb4qZhS2LIGcSX01uSZ7bVBqqMU6j/s1600/P1040001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV3jp0aLAGtpitATIC4fkcVNlNisHCVG7YjEMat4Js8a9LzR1zVH5OCLohfR--fLyvZOIcZeOxZ7U8-3RIK8fxB-gVxsm5tgGDqxjHP4Dv4p73-hzzb4qZhS2LIGcSX01uSZ7bVBqqMU6j/s320/P1040001.jpg" width="248" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Recipe:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fridge - From My Kitchen cut @ 3.5"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hope you liked it.

The selfless choice he made to serve his country has given our family, as well as so many others the freedom and opportunites that this great country has to offer. <br /><br />We owe so much to all the men and women in the armed forces! Happy Veterans Day!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699207580048678889.post-3946308175018939102011-11-09T09:20:00.000-05:002011-11-17T09:16:47.764-05:00Life's Little BlessingsIt is amazing how a simple sentence can make you forget about all the things that happened, good or bad, and just make you smile and feel a warmth in your heart.<br /><br />I have had a rough couple of days. As most of you know, I am almost 8 months pregnant and with that comes all the aches and pains that come with a growing belly, changing center of gravity, and a sleeplessness that is only rivaled by actually having a newborn. I am also hitting the nesting phase of pregnancy, however my mind is the only part that got the message, my body is a little behind, which makes for a very frustrated mommy.<br />With the holidays coming up I really wanted to be ahead of the game and have the babies room, kids new bedroom, and basement/playroom all nice and organized so that when this little girl entered the world there was as little stress on me as possible. I know that it was probably a tall order, but a girl can hope can't she? <br /><br />Anyway, since we are always more busy towards the end of the year a lot of these things haven't gotten done yet and on the little sleep that I have been getting my stress level has been rising beyond what I can handle. So, the last couple of days have not been very good. <br /><br />You're probably asking me why I am telling you all this though. Well, my sweet son has to read every night for school for at least 20-30 minutes. Now, he doesn't usually fight me on this, but it's also not his most favorite part of the night. So, when he had already read his required time last night and came to me just before he was to get in bed and said, "Mommy I'm just gonna read a book to (his sister) before bed," well my heart just melted. He actually wanted to read again and he wanted to read to his little sister, because she absolutely loves being read to.<br /><br />Every once in a while I feel like I am doing something right as a mommy and turning out sweet, smart, respectful, loving little human beings and that makes all the bad things that may happen completely worth it and not nearly as important!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699207580048678889.post-66653436018548059912011-11-08T09:05:00.000-05:002011-11-17T09:16:47.783-05:00Isn't It Amazing...how we can have the best of intentions and it just not end up going anywhere, because somehow life just gets in the way. Well, that's what my life has been like lately. <br /><br />I planned on doing a Christmas card every day and I have completed quite a few and have several more half done, but when it comes to actually taking pictures of them and getting them up for all of you lovely people to see, well that's another story. With all the events that have gone on lately, with Halloween, dance, and Cub Scouts, well, my camera is quite full. <br /><br />On top of that my kids have both had colds in the last week that have prevented me from getting a whole lot done. I did get a few errands done yesterday, but still have some "household" things to get done. Plus now, I'm sick! My throat is hurting me and my nose is all stuffed up. Which, for a pregnant women who is not sleeping well as it is, does not add to my energy reserve. <br /><br />Anyway, I am hoping to get some much needed me time today, since the kids are home for election day, and get some more done including putting some of my Christmas cards up for you to see. <br /><br />Until then, here are some cards and projects from last year to get you in the Christmas mood. <br /><br />Have a Wonderful Day!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaacIK9psVoVL81M9toAegjFhCboxkrsNhgH5BStk_dzgT8bteFZO-J5R_booEewo_peHuAduxy2S9OrK4WKVaaunC9ItOx_wbLQKmdY-YjTHh-ikWYNVkgACoENXzCC8OqNbF1WFHhvcI/s1600/Gingerbread+Xmas+Closeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaacIK9psVoVL81M9toAegjFhCboxkrsNhgH5BStk_dzgT8bteFZO-J5R_booEewo_peHuAduxy2S9OrK4WKVaaunC9ItOx_wbLQKmdY-YjTHh-ikWYNVkgACoENXzCC8OqNbF1WFHhvcI/s1600/Gingerbread+Xmas+Closeup.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Mq68xBvIMHdDm5Yq-GmFP7AyafKWLOBrz3-LpULMyCiciVIqJp3xWeDdegRbX1TB_Av13nft5ZeWL5tU5431j-zZslvok-DCXQwdzO0Z_BDI4HfWFoKlTEl5KMxaFXV4g9UX-wA5IT9F/s1600/Gingerbread+Closeup+Inside.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Mq68xBvIMHdDm5Yq-GmFP7AyafKWLOBrz3-LpULMyCiciVIqJp3xWeDdegRbX1TB_Av13nft5ZeWL5tU5431j-zZslvok-DCXQwdzO0Z_BDI4HfWFoKlTEl5KMxaFXV4g9UX-wA5IT9F/s1600/Gingerbread+Closeup+Inside.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd0Ct6kHn2SjsTcA5vxDzPRX2DwKtVc8V-c1RrjB9otSom-WNhX1ATnOsVOODBzmB1Ugnx3IcMWhlRcPNDVqU6_afXFaHraOhcBQZZWomncUD4kVBKOg9mqh7VSK0YqhygxLH1MEMSZqMi/s1600/Reindeer+Holder+Closeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd0Ct6kHn2SjsTcA5vxDzPRX2DwKtVc8V-c1RrjB9otSom-WNhX1ATnOsVOODBzmB1Ugnx3IcMWhlRcPNDVqU6_afXFaHraOhcBQZZWomncUD4kVBKOg9mqh7VSK0YqhygxLH1MEMSZqMi/s1600/Reindeer+Holder+Closeup.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdCZig3e_FCa-dG0f02qayAGx3mWKfzXHTCmhVi3wo37zYN3iBLv9qf_T-DHL-RZG05OIDVo__MMu1JoYxieWBsRZJctw_iUb2EwcdDADILvEUH61mCdz9GVK6MGypAm3ptSQbf5FqeRDx/s1600/Buzz+Xmas+Closeup+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdCZig3e_FCa-dG0f02qayAGx3mWKfzXHTCmhVi3wo37zYN3iBLv9qf_T-DHL-RZG05OIDVo__MMu1JoYxieWBsRZJctw_iUb2EwcdDADILvEUH61mCdz9GVK6MGypAm3ptSQbf5FqeRDx/s1600/Buzz+Xmas+Closeup+2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOJVSk40CMWvEAc19hqVR7i48PBXjqJqYViNbMI8_AmBkR-NflFjcW3ccI_P3e8eVOkuTrKC3hcO3y3AhP1FcWEHOW9QKkVrzcWlb39wRL4buKsTTAKpriUknt2BrELXS404fwyqv35uc2/s1600/Belle+Xmas+Closeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOJVSk40CMWvEAc19hqVR7i48PBXjqJqYViNbMI8_AmBkR-NflFjcW3ccI_P3e8eVOkuTrKC3hcO3y3AhP1FcWEHOW9QKkVrzcWlb39wRL4buKsTTAKpriUknt2BrELXS404fwyqv35uc2/s1600/Belle+Xmas+Closeup.jpg" /></a></div><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
