Midnights With Molly

I had a few days off this week so I spent some time with my Cricut.  (Surprise, surprise.)  :)  Here are a few cards I made with the leftover paper from the Teacups book I made a few weeks ago. Now it's time to go back to work for a few days, so the Cricut will get a break.  :)  But only for a few days...as soon as my Elmo cartridge arrives from Amazon, I'll start designing my nephew's first birthday party invitations!  :)  Can't wait!

My sister called me up yesterday and asked if I would help her with a project that needed to be done by Saturday...it would involve the use of my Cricut...so of course, I was game!  :)  Before I show you pictures of the finished product, I have to tell you that this was ALL Tammy's idea.  It turned out SUPER adorable and I'm so excited for her to give it away this weekend at a very special party!  Here are the pictures... Tammy wanted the whole scrapbook to have a Tea Party theme...so we cut out a tea pot for the first page and then used the Cricut to cut out cute little teacups.  Then, we found little tags at Pat Catan's that we used for our "tea bags." On some of the pages, we printed out quotes and verses and pasted them on the teacups.  On the others, we tucked squares of cream colored paper into the tea cups and attached them to the tea bags with the name of each friend that will be present at the party printed on the tea bag.  The idea is for each frie
