Peace, Love, Mickey

A very talented friend from the DIS board, whips out t-shirts for her family's trips to WDW.  She inspired me to make my own for an upcoming trip.

Here is my version  Thanks for the inspiration to give it a try, MorgansMom2000. :)

Bon Voyage

Three special ladies I know are going on an adventure - they are taking a transatlantic cruise from Barcelona, Spain to Port Canaveral, FL.  I made each of them this card to wish travels full of fun.

I used the square card feature from Life is a Beach and the bon voyage phrase was cut from Beyond Birthdays.    I did put a 4" x 4" square of blue cardstock on the inside of the card and used that for writing a message, it also served as blue sky background.  Life is a Beach has a huge selection of summer time cards to choose from.

Hurricane Irene

We've batten down the hatches, brought in all possible missiles disguised as flower pots, lawn ornaments, and chairs.

The rain is just starting.  Here's a picture of the calm before the storm.  Will update as the storm progresses.

For those who have attended my crop on Cape Cod will recognize this building.

And those who know my husband will know what he was doing in this picture. lol  Even on vacation, he hunts for wood!

We've been spared the eye of the hurricane and the rain, however the wind is coming in strong.  My mother and I went down to the beach but couldn't open the van door.  You could hear the sand blasting the car.

Here are pictures of Craigville Beach on Nantucket Sound. The water surge has gone over the beach but not into the parking lot yet.  The town has blocked off all beach parking lots.

I am going to try to put attach a video of footage I taped on the top of the bluff in Craigville.  Look at that, it worked.  This is Lisa, reporting to you live from Craigville Beach.

And here is a picture from up on the bluff looking down on the beach where the water surge went over the beach, the parking lot and Craigville Beach Road.

Here is the parking lot at the beach after the water receded.

And here is a picture of the same beach area as the first picture I posted yesterday.  In the first picture you can see the rock jetty, however in this picture it is covered by the water surge.

Decorative box with chocolate

My brother, sister-in-law, and niece played host to the nicest girl from France the past three weeks.  Tomorrow she is going back home so I wanted to give her a little box of chocolate goodies for the long flight home.  I cut two pieces of heavy cardstock paper to 8" x 8".   One piece of paper is scored at 2" and 6" for the bottom and the other at 2 and 6 1/8" for the top.  The finished box is 4" x 4" x 2".  I filled it with Hershey Kisses.

Get Well

I had an opportunity to hide myself away in my girl cave this morning and came up with this Get Well card.  I have been trying to make a card with each Cricut Cartridge I have.    The base of this was from Wild Card.

Grandparents Day

Grandparents Day usually catches me by surprise, however this year I planned ahead.  The card came out cute however I don't think it photographed that well.  I used stickles (Diamond and blue) all over and dyed beads one of my Peeps made for me for the end of the antenna's

My Mom's Birthday

My Mom's birthday was this weekend.  We opted to get her a Kindle to bring on her upcoming cruise and I also made the following two layouts.  She has a memory album devoted just to the 4th of July so I know she will use this.  I used the Stand and Salute Cricut cartridge and my Gypsy to weld liberty and freedom to a 12" rectangle.  Paper is cardstock from Creative Memories.  Simple layout but I think it turned out nice.
