Valentines

Okay, I checked the date on my last entry and it was Jan 16th.. sigh... so much for a post a week! Girl Scout cookie season is kicking my but! LOL! But I did make some Valentines for my daughters class. I used paper from a paper pack that I have had for a LONG time! I cut the paper in 4 x 6 strips and used a Fiskars punch for the "scalloped" edge. I cut the hearts at 2 inches on my Cricut with the George cartridge, selecting the slotted feature. I used Studio 8 glitter glue and filled in the slots for eyes and then made a smiley! Hope my daughters 2nd grade likes them! (and I hope you like them too!)

My Pink Stamper Bog Hop challenge

Okay - here is something I made for the My Pink Stamper blog hop challenge. Was definitely a challenge to make! I had issues welding the panda to the card frame - but got it figured out after a few tries! I used Pagoda for the panda, Gypsy font for the words, and cloth flowers from Wilton - held on with a brad. I cuttle bugged the Panda with Swiss Dots. Hope you like it!

Etched candle

Hey! I am posting again - twice in one week! I am my daughters Girl Scout leader, my area Cookie Service Manager, Cookie Booth manager, AND a cookie cupboard this year... UGH! So - the next few weeks will be CRAZY. :0)
Okay, this morning I decided to etch this really cool candle holder I bought at Michaels that has three level tiers for tea lights.
My friend Melissa gave me the idea for Beauty and the Beast for roses (thanks Mel!).
I used vinyl bought from signwarehouse.com, used my gypsy and Indie Art - cutting the roses at 6 inches high and placed about 3 inches apart. I used Armor Etch and let it sit for just over an hour.

Hope you like it!

Happy 10th Anniversary

I have made another gift for my husband for our anniversary (10 years!). I saw this saying in a shop and decided to make it with my Cricut. I did use Sure Cuts A Lot to cut the words out as I didn't really have the right font cartridges on hand. I bought the vinyl from signwarehouse.com (thanks Robyn at My Pink Stamper for mentioning their site in one of your videos!)

Anyway! It is a new year and I am hoping to enter at least one post (or more) a week!

Thanks for checking in!

fall blog hop

Well, I recently was bed-ridden with a nasty sinus cold and migraine, UGH! But during a lucid moment, I went online to check email, facebook, and the world of crafting. I stumbled upon a fall blog hop and saw some pretty awesome creations! I love seeing other peoples work! I just had to post about the blog hop (seeing as I won a prize! yippee!) thanks to Cheryl Gaffney cardsbycg.blogspot (I think it was either my Pink Stamper or Karlee Krafts that led me to you all.) Anyway, I will be laid off the day before Thanksgiving (sigh) so hopefully will have more time to post my projects. I am making candle holders with my Scout troop (trying to find baby food jars for this project), and will be starting my homemade Christmas cards soon!

Pink Stamper Challenge #11

I am sad! I really wanted to post at least half of the "My Pink Stamper - National Scrapbook day" challenges, but was only able to complete one! This photo is about 5 years old, but one of the few that I have of my family as a group! Hope you like it! The challenge was to use the color of the rainbow, so I cut the words off of the black paper and adhered the colors behind. I also used Making Memories brads to make a line of color across the bottom. Not as creative as I usually am, but REALLY wanted to post SOMETHING! LOL!

LOVE making cards!

Here is a card I made for Easter using some ribbon, bunny brads (I think from Making Memories) and Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge!
