Cutie Pie Invitations

Okay... I was tickled pink when a friend from church asked me to make a 'few' invitations for a Pie Social that we are having this coming Saturday. It's National Pie day. I have a cute little pie stamp and had made this card a while back with it...



But I wanted to do a cute pie diecut if possible. So, I went to my Cricut Design Studio software and did a search for pie... sure enough... hidden behind the female pilgrim in the Paper Dolls cricut cartridge was a cute little pie:



So I used red gingham paper that I got 6 for $.96 at JoAnns this week and also cut red scalloped circles with the Mini Monograms cricut cartridge to assemble the front of my invite. The details were printed inside on my computer. Oh and did I tell that only a 'few' invitations meant one hundred...lol! They filled up my dining room table because I put clear stickles for the heat lines coming up out of the pie... cute!! I really enjoyed making these invitations and the fact that they were for my church family made it even better.



So, I pulled out my little red riding hood basket and lined it with matching red gingham napkins and lined all the invites up in it. That way is was easy to pass them out after church this past Sunday. The pie social is this Saturday at 4pm... anyone wanna come? LOL!



Oh! And I am looking for some good pie recipes... something other than apple.

October Scrapbook Retreat

Wow! We had so much fun this past weekend! What a great group of ladies! The title for the retreat was "Spooky Christmas" because it is so spooky how close Christmas really is! So, I made these nametags for everyone from the Cricut Paperdolls cartridge...





This retreat sold out, so the crop room was full. Sara took this picture after everyone had FINALLY gone to bed... at 5am on Saturday morning! Yep... they were having fun! Several ladies stayed up until 5:30am the next morning too! LOL!



Dinner on Saturday night consisted of sandwich trays from Subway, chips and a salad. Yum!





And lots of snacks on the Ladybug Snack Bar!






Sara helped me teach a Flip Book class. She did a great job and everyone liked the class...









Cindy did such a great job on her Flip Book! She used it right away for a Thanksgiving layout that she was working on. I loved the colors she used!





Sara used her Flip Book for this Sweet 16 layout:



Beth made the cutest layout of her son jumping in a Johnny Jumper! She used the Pooh Cricut cartridge to make these Tiggers:



Susan is one of my regulars! She and I became friends back when Lisa owned the business and I was just a Crop All Day customer.



Carolyn & Erin were in 'the zone'! They cranked out some awesome Disney pages this past weekend! I was impressed! Both had pre-planned their pages and arrived with cricuts in hand!




I was especially proud of one of my new customers, Ann... she used the cricut Storybook cartridge to make this layout of her daughter wearing a dress that her aunt had worn about 65 years ago!! It's just adorable:





Well, Anne, a good e-pal friend of mine, sent me a great link for some really cool paper trees. I think I am going to try to make one this week... they will be perfect for the wedding in December. Thanks Anne! I'll show you my progress here on my blog!

See ya!
