With Sympathy

Hi everyone today I wanted to show you a quick shape card that I made.  I was in Michael's the other day and found several $1 bin stamps.  I find that I make cards around my supplies. I don't have the need for a sympathy card (Knock on wood) but I had the stamp so I used it.



I have a Gypsy and I used to use it all the time.  But I got a new laptop for Christmas and have found that I use CCR now all the time.  I created this shape card in CCR using Lacy Labels Cartridge.

I wanted to make it a bright happy card as to cheer someone up and let them know I'm sympathetic and thinking about them.

Well thanks for taking a look. Come back again soon!!

Mini Treat Holders with a Video

Hello and Happy Hump day!  I'm so super excited I made my first video since moving into our new house.  I learned how to make these little boxes from Sarah Hamer at pinkcricut.com on one of her Live Ustreams.  I made dozens of these little gift bags for Valentine's Day treats this year.  I had several people want to know how to make them so here you go.

Thanks for looking! Please come back again soon!

Valentine's Day Candy Stiks

Hi!  I'm so excited to share with you some Valentine's Treats.  I've always seen people make these candy sticks and was never able to find the little candy bags.  Well then Jaded Blossom started to carry them and so I ordered.  What better way to use them then for Valentine's Day.

For the tags I used Lacy Labels.

The printed paper is from a paper pack I got at Tuesday Mornings. It's called Love Letters and it's made by Little Yellow Bicycle. I've never heard of them but the paper is thick and 2 sided and beautiful, I love it.

The face stamp is the Peachy Keen Simple Sallies.

The little shiny heart I just found from imaginisce and are used with the iRock.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I've been having camera issues and it's making it hard to post but I think I might have figured it out so I hope to see you back again soon.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Clean or Dirty? That is the question.

Hello everyone.  Today I made a little something to try and make life a little easier.  Now I'm not sure if it will work as planned or be more of nuisance.  But there is only one way to fine out.

For those of you who didn't know, we just recently moved to a new house a couple of months ago.  Now I have never had an automatic dishwasher.  The only dishwasher I was familiar with was my Daughter and Son and to be honest they were broke most of the time...lol.  Well we now have a dishwasher and I catch the kids adding dirty dishes to the clean dishes. So I thought I'd make little magnetic signs to  put on the front of the dishwasher indicating clean or dirty.

For these I used the Chore Chart Cricut Lite Cartridge.  I cut them at 8".

For the Clean/Dirty I used the Quarter Note Cartridge Font and welded together in CCR.

I then ran them through the Xyron with the Laminate/Magnet cartridge in.

Then I trimmed down the sides and here is the final project. 

Thanks for stopping by, please come back again soon!



Happy Birthday!

Hi everyone. Today I want to share with you a card I made for my sister for her Birthday.  She isn't real girly and she doesn't have any real hobbies so it was really hard.  I settled for cupcakes. Who doesn't like cupcakes?

This card is 6 1/2" x 5"

I used Lacy Labels cartridge for the the black back ground

The cupcakes are from Cricut Cake Birthday Cakes Cartridge.

The background paper is from the DCWV Sweet Mat stack

The stamp is a random wood stamp from my collection.

I sprayed the black with Perfect Pearls Mist in Perfect Pearl color. This gave it some shimmer.

Then I used pink Stickles on the pink part of the cupcakes.

Thanks for stopping by. Please come back again soon!

Bike Card

Well so I missed a day.  I don't know how you women do it. How you balance a full time job, kids and home and everything and still have amazing projects and blogs.  If it weren't for my Gypsy I wouldn't have this card.  I sat while at my daughters basket ball practice today and got alot of things planned out.  I then was able to come home and cut.  Now I will say it didn't come out as I had pictured it in my head at the time, but it will have to do.

Card size is 4x8

The bike was cut using the Sweethearts cartridge.

The sentiment was printed  from the computer then punched out using eKSuccess punch.

Ribbon is Michaels brand, Dashes,dots and Checks

The red scallope border is from a Recollections border punch.

Thanks for stopping by.  I know I promised Valentine's Treat bags and they are done. I'm hoping to get them up tomorrow, so check back soon.

Love is in the air...

Hello and yes I know, what is this like 3 days in a row? Lol  I'm really focused on being in the blogging groove. I really miss all my sweet bloggie friends. 

 I made a card to show you today.  I feel like there is alot going on in the card but I think it gets the point across.  I would give this card to my hubby. Maybe for Valentine's Day or even an anniversary.

The couple is cut from Sweethearts cartridge.

The Heart in the background was cut from the Sophie cartridge.

I used the swirl border punch by Martha Stewart.

The sentiment is from Studio G Stamped with Ruby Red Stampin up

Twine on button is Martha Stewart.

Thanks for stopping by.  Tomorrow I will show you the Valentine's treats I've been working on.
