At the Movies

I took my son to the movies a few weeks ago to see Rango.  It was his first time seeing a movie in a theater and it was kind-of a bonding thing for us because we went without his little sister.  Just a "mommy & me" type of day. We got a giant popcorn, sodas and peanut butter cups and had a fantastic time.  We are going to make it a regular thing.  :)

Anyway, I thought this would be cute for a layout.  I cut the "film" from the Mickey and Friends cartridge (Cricut)  and the title was a mix of Plantin Schoolbook and Opposites Attract.  I also made the film reel from the circle on Plantin.  The curtain was 2 inch strips of paper scored at 1/2 inch from each side to make it more 3D.  I used round punches to shape the bottom ends of each strip to create the look of a hanging curtain. The popcorn box and tickets came from a Jolee's set - not stickers... idk what you would call them.... just embellishments I guess.  But the "popcorn" that came in it was really 3D and really hard - like plastic.  So I took out the plastic piece and balled up some yellow tissue paper squares I had and stuck them on with double sided tape and glue dots.

Note Cards

Just playing around tonight.  I found some green paper that looked nice with some pink and green patterned paper I had so I thought I would throw together some little note cards.  I will probably make a box for them and give them as a gift or something.  who knows!!  :)


I used the same flower from Mickey and Friends as I did on the invitations and the leaf punch too.  I spritzed them with glimmer mist as well but this time I just used one larger pearl in the center. 

Shower invitations

Ok I am finally getting all the pictures from my phone transferred to the computer, so I now have photos of the bridal shower invitations that I did a couple of weeks ago.  

They are Easel cards and I used the flower icon cut from the Mickey and Friends cartridge and layered it 5 times.  Spritzed them with glimmer mist and stuck a few pearls on there!  The leaves are a MS punch.

Gypsy Creations!!!

OK!!! so I got my Gypsy and have been playing with it for a few days now.  And I finally made some actual cards!  I did a layout too but don't have the pics on it yet so I will post that later.  Anyway, I made a baby card for my cousin and his wife who are expecting their first little one:

And I made a birthday card for my stash :

So I am going to go back to playing and creating.  I just wanted to share!!!  :)

Did I mention that I heart my Gypsy?!!

Gypsy .....

So I am waiting on my Gypsy.....   Hobby Lobby had them on sale for $99 last week and I talked my husband into "letting" me get one.  (not that i really needed his permission  lol)  But when I got to our Hobby Lobby - and the nearest one is an hour away - they said they ran out three days before.  WELL POO!!!!!!   So I had them give me a rain check for one.  I will still get my Gypsy at the sale price, but it may not be for three more weeks  :(

EDIT**

I am still Gypsyless.  :(  It has been two weeks.  I am hoping that they will call me sometime after this weekend to tell me that they finally have a Gypsy for me.  Keepin my fingers crossed!!

ANOTHER EDIT***


Ok - so I called Hobby Lobby and they still have no Gypsies in stock and they have no idea when they will get them in.  It could be a month at this rate.  So I decided to go a different route because I REALLY want my Gypsy!!!  lol.  I ordered it from the Cricut website and it should be arriving by Saturday.  Monday at the latest!  :)
 GYPSY IS HERE!!!!  YAY!!!!
