Pirate Birthday- Twisted Easel Card

Hello everyone!  Hope everyone is enjoying their week so far...  Today I am taking a group of kids to a Poetry and Prose event about 45 minutes away from my school.  I am also taking them out to eat at McDonald's afterwards.  Then tomorrow, I am going to be taking my class on a field trip... We are going to watch a movie at the movie theater!  I hope I'm strong enough for this!  Just kidding, I actually have a pretty good bunch of kiddos this year...  Anywho, it's my design team day over at Joy's Life.  Our challenge this week was to create a card with an interesting fold...  I have made one of these twisted easel cards before, and I thought it would be fun to make another one!  :)  The video I watched is HERE...  Hope you enjoy!

Princess Castle Birthday Card

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I want to say thank you for all the kind words people were leaving about my paper roses tutorial...  It made me feel great, and you are all awesome!!!  :)  Anywho, today's card is a very whimsical/fantasy card.  I would definitely give this to one of my nieces, or perhaps someone who loves Disney because it just has a Disney feel to it....  I have really been wanting to go to Disneyland lately!!!  Oh man, now I'm thinking about it again....  :)

Birthday Sundaes- anything goes birthday card
Die Cuttin' Divas- shaped card

Wedding Favor Box

The challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut today is to make something with a wedding theme, and you had to include the color white and a bell.  I decided to make something different this time (seeing as I always make cards), so I made a favor box.  I wanted to incorporate the color green somehow and a really cute striped paper that I have.  I kept this very simple and elegant.  Hope you enjoy!
