Non traditional Invitations

I like to entertain. While I'm not the perfect hostess, I still like to have people come over for a visit. theme parties are the greatest.  when my children were young they had a different theme party every year. from age 1 until age 20, there was always a groovy theme. well, my scrapbooking crops are no different; I like to have a theme.  on March 7th I will be hosting my first Friday night Cricut Swarm.  swarms were real active around 2009 until about 2011. below is an invitation that I created from the Cricut Everyday cartridge. I didn't want to send out just regular folded invitations. but decided to emboss and jazz them up.

Throwback Thursday

WHAT IS THROWBACK THURSDAY?  Throwback Thursday is very popular on  Instagram , and users often tag their photos with a variety of hashtags like #TBT, #ThrowbackThursday or just simply #Throwback. Adding these hashtags can help get photos more exposure from a wider audience of people who are searching through those tags. Well, today's Throwback Thursday consist of my first scrapbook layouts; between 2000-2003. As many of my followers may know, I taught myself to scrapbook by accident while creating decorative folders for my Sunday School students. Hon-ey, I can admit that I have messed up so great photos. I used Elmer's school glue, colored copy paper, and construction paper, glitter pens and my trusted decorative scissors and plastic shape stencils. I was doing the thing. check out my use of scissors and creative lettering for the names of my students. I did some great fussy cutting; back then it was silhouetting photos. ...
