Trick or Treat!!!

I made these treats for the Fall Festival at my son’s elementary school.  Yum!  Graveyard cake (had to throw some Cricut in there!  Happy Hauntings font), and Mini Monsters cookies!  I used my Gypsy for the designs, love that thing.  I broke down and bought one and soooo glad I did.  It makes using the Cricut so much easier.  Now, to tackle the Happy Hauntings 3D...

I think you are Super Girl!

I broke down and bought a Gypsy.  I have been obsessed with my Cricut and this was the icing on the cake!

Hooray for School!

  I made these cards for my nieces and nephew to celebrate the new school year.  Everyone loves to get mail, especially when you are a kid! I personalized each card so that they would feel special. I used the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge for the school bus, Wild Card for the phrase, and Everyday Paper Dolls for the figures.  So cute!  The school bus and paper dolls...

Fab Cards!

More Ten Seconds Studios metal and Club Scrap cardstock... I used oval Nestabilities to die cut the opening to the Fleur de Lis card and embossed with the Cuttlebug. I stamped the Haberdashery stamp with Staz On ink on the backside of the TSS metal and "puffed" the image. I got this idea from Lin at Paper Artsy. I distressed with black acrylic paint and sanded the image. The angel design is taken...

Zentangle

Zentangle is an easy to learn and relaxing method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. I remember doing this type of "doodling" in art class in junior high!  I saw this technique featured on Ten Seconds Studios blog.  Fun stuff, so I had to try it using TSS metal for my PSL cards at Club Scrap this week!  So…..here’s my card…. ...

Summer in Paris

Love that Cricut! Love that CS cardstock!  Together they make the prettiest cards ever!  I used paper and embellishments from the Sonoma collection and the Summer in Paris Cricut cartridge.  Stickles for bling.  The images had to be cut at 51/2 or larger because they are so intricate.  Turned out that was a perfect size for these Sonoma G2G cards. ...

My Favorite Artifact…

I loved this Club Scrap kit,  Artifacts, January 2009!  It was perfect for my niece Ellie’s first year swim team pictures.  My dilemma was that I did not want these gorgeous pages in page protectors.  God I hate those!  It reminds me of an old lady I knew when I was a kid.  She covered all of her furniture with plastic, carpet too! If I am making a book for little ones,...

Healing Hands...

During the Christmas holidays, my 12 year old showed me a "bump" on his forearm. I didn't think much of it, he plays every sport there is and then some (including Jyu Jitsu)! I told him that if it didn't go away we'd go to the doctor to get it checked out. Turns out he had a benign tumor, a hemangioma, and had to have it removed. We had a hard time finding a surgeon who would remove it. Then we went...
