So, I was contracted by my cousin to make her wedding invitations last fall. They came out great, but there was an element that she wanted that I couldn't do - she wanted elements of her invite in gold... Uhm, how do I do that??  Unfortunately, I couldn't get it figured out in time for her wedding, but I kept looking. Eventually, I came across a blog post on Pinterest entitled DIY Gold Foil Prints . I saw that I needed to print with a laser printer and use a laminator... ok, I guess, but I don't have a laser printer at home, so it became a project I might get around to trying out later... Well, later came this past week when I found some Deco Foil on clearance at Michael's. I quickly added it to my cart and brought it home. I have a laminator in the form of my YourStory machine but I still needed to print. Ah ha! Most businesses have laser printers, so there I had it.

I realized that I had let an entire month go by this year and hasn't posted anything to my blog... "I have to do better," I said to myself.

I apologize to anyone who is following or subscribing who may have received those spam posts. I will be being more vigilant moving forward to insure this doesn't gotten anymore. Stay tuned for more of what I've been making, deals & steals for cool crafty things, and more!

I am from Detroit and I love my city! Don't we all lol! I was commissioned by a friend off a co-worker to make a Detroit Lions themed birthday card for her boyfriend. She explained that her gift to him was going to be tickets to an upcoming Lions game. So I set out to see what I could come up with. I finally turned to my trusty Cricut Expression and Cricut Craft Room. I had recently branched out and subscribed to the Cricut Library giving me access to thousands of images - I just knew somewhere in there would be the lion that I needed. I found this lion card on the French Manor cartridge & it was perfect!

I was asked to create two cards for two different occasions but the same/similar cards. I challenged myself to make two different cards, different designs, different shades of the same color. The outcome was pretty good, if I do say so myself ;-). Thanks for stopping by!
