Bridal Shower Journal and Thank You Cards

Do you ever find yourself running out of time?  I know I do and I don't always have time to create oodles of handmade cards.  Here's a quick way to step up store bought thank you cards by adding a cricut cut and an embellishment:


I added the cricut cut of the bride from the cartridge Wrap It Up both to the inside of the card and the front of the envelope.  I then added a strand of ribbon with a simple knot tie.  Super simple, super fast, and super looking compared to the plain thank you card.


I also made a gift journal for my stepdaughter to keep track of presents and cards she receives.  The front and back cover are cut from the cartridge Wrap It Up utilizing the card selection.  I dolled it up by adding a pearl embellishment and ribbon ties to the the rings once I  bound it together using my Bind It All.


I added her initials "to be" on the inside front cover using the cartridge Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art and stamped the inside pages with a journaling stamp so that she may write in the gifts as she receives them. I also added three tabs - bridal shower, bachelorette, and wedding.  Then, all she has to do is check off the boxes once she sends a thank you card. Hopefully this will help keep her organized and simplify the process for her.

My Pinkalicious Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to tonight's Pinkalicious Blog Hop.  You should have just visited Courtney (Court's Crafts.  If you missed the beginning, please start here: Robyn (My Pink Stamper).

My name is Renee aka RockinRenee. I was just added to the My Pink Stamper design team, and I'm super excited to be a part of it. Many moons ago I started crafting by making cards with stamps. I only just discovered the Cricut two years ago and fell in love. I create all sorts of paper projects, but my favorites are scrapbook layouts and cards. I love mixing all sorts of media with my Cricut cuts. Robyn's stamps are one of my favorite combinations.


This project is one of many I have been working on for the last few days for my stepdaughter's bridal shower.  This is a treat box that holds the infamous yummy mints that you find at baby and bridal showers.  I used the "sweet" sentiment from Robyn's new stamp set "Sweet Goodness".  I just LOVE this set!


Although this treat box isn't a true representation of my style, which is more whimsical then anything else, I wanted to show you what I was currently working on and how Robyn's stamps paired with it (one of those mixed media combinations I was telling you about).  Please page down on my blog to see more projects and an example of one of my scrapbook layouts.  I hope to inspire you to create!  =)

Now for some "sweet" blog candy.  How about a cartridge???  Nursery Rhymes is one of my favorites!  It has an awesome font and many cuts that can be used for other projects that aren't "baby involved."  All you have to do is leave a comment and a way for me to reach you.  I will select a winner using random.org on Tuesday morning 8-16-11.  Thank you for visiting!  I hope to see you back!

Your next stop on the hop is Cristi.  Enjoy looking at all the great projects and I hope you come back to visit.
