Sunshine and Smiles

I wanted to make an encouragement card for a sweet neighbor. It has been cold, grey and snowy here. I thought this card might brighten her day.

 This card is also my submission for the current Peachy Keen Challenge. I used Everyday Face Parts for the Sunshine's face. I used an Action Wobble on the sunshine. I thought it would make the card even more fun and playful. I think it worked :). This ADORABLE sentiment stamp is by Pink By Design's Take the Cake stamp set. This set is so cute. And some of the sentiments such as this one can be used for other occasions besides birthdays. 

Here is another quick video showing the sunshine powered by an Action Wobble.

Online Shopping

I just ordered my Twinkle Toes Cricut Lite and Inspired Heart Cricut Lite cartridges from Walmart.com. I'm a little sad that Playtime only comes with the machine. But c'est la vie! Now it's time for some sleep. Good luck with all of your shopping!!!

Disney Diaper Cake with an Action Wobble

So I mentioned that I made baby shower invitations for my sister's baby shower. I also made her a diaper cake for a decoration at the baby shower. We had gone with a Minnie Mouse theme with the invitations so I stuck with that for the diaper cake too.

This project was a combined Cricut and Disney Print Creations project. I love the Disney babies on the print program. They are so sweet.

I put an Action Wobble on the Mickey and Minnie on the rocking horse cake topper. It was perfect. Everyone loved making them rock back and forth.

Here is a quick video showing the Action Wobble topper in motion:

Wedding Bells Are Ringing

I have several weddings to attend in the next little while, so I thought I should make some cards to have on hand. This one needed an Action Wobble so that the wedding bells could 'ring' back and forth. All it needs now is a little sound card so you can hear the bells ringing :).

Here is a short video of the bells ringing (powered by an Action Wobble).
