Spring Balloons

I made another couple cards today. The hardest part about making cards for me is finding a color pallete that works and doesn't take forever to put together. I also have noticed that I don't have stamp sets that are just simple greetings...I'm going to have to start keeping my eye out for some good deals. Anyway, enjoy the cards!

Easter

My daughter made a wonderful Easter dinner - yummy ham, homemade scalloped pototoes, beans, ramaki, stuffed mushrooms and a relish tray...soo good, sooo full!

Anyway, I created a monkey card today cause my granddaughter is a bit of a monkey but she's so cute you can't resist her. I used the Birthday Bash and the Once Upon a Princess cartridges, a martha stewart border punch and of course some stickles and a little bow. Enjoy!

Bright Spring Colors!

I made another card yesterday. For Christmas my grandchildren got these markers that are simply circles in all kinds of bright colors. One day we spent some time making background back by stamping all different colors of circles all over white paper...turned out really cute and the grands enjoyed doing it. That is the paper I used for the mat on this card. The grandkids each made a card as well but I don't know where they are or I'd post thier creations as well! Anyway - here it is. Enjoy!!

Another Card

Hi again! I made another card! I used the Rock Princess cartridge for the rose. I rounded the corners of the background papers and added some stickles to bling it up. I had fun making this card. I'm working on another card that I will post later today or tomorrow - it's not quite finished...

Enjoy!

As Promised!

Wow! It's been a long time since I was able to post anything! I finally got my Cricut out and starting making cards again. I'm excited to be able to do what I love, even if I don't have much room to do it in!!

Here is an Easter Card I made using Doodle Charms and Designer's Calendar. I also used the Cricut Craftroom application to weld "Happy" and "Easter" together and then cut. It got bumped before it was completely dry, thus the smear. Oooh well...lol!

I made this card as well. It was colored for me by my grand-daughter...lol!

So there it is! I'm back...yay!!

Trying to get it together!!

I haven't posted for a very long time!! I have moved and just after moving I became very ill and was hospitalized for a time. I am now out of the hospital and recovering..it's been a long haul but I'm getting back to normal. I'm hoping to get my crafting back to normal as I really miss it. Please be patient with me as I continue to recover and get my life back on track!!

Long Time No Posts!

I have to apologize to my followers! I am in the process of moving and my thoughts and preparations have taken over my time. I will be moved by the end of next month, but I'm going to try  to post some things before it gets totally crazy here - please don't hold your breath as it might not happen! I do have some great projects planned! Thank you all for being patient with me - I promise to be better in the future as soon as I'm settle again!!

Finished Mini-Album

This is the 2nd mini-pocket album I've made - I'm getting the hang of it now!

Sneak-Peek Mini-Pocket Album!

I had so much fun making the last one, I'm making another one. The hardest part for me is picking the colors, once I have the colors picked I'm into it!! I tend to take a few days when I'm designing something. I'm making another Sun-Catcher soon as well, that design is still being worked out in my head. The ribbon is the ribbon I'm planning ot use on this project - such happy colors!!

Card I thought I posted before...

And this card is the inspiration for the next mini-pocket album I'm going to make. I think this card is simple and elegant - could be for many occassions.

Paper Flowers

I've been playing around for a while on ways to make your own embellishments...paper flowers. I've tried lots of different ideas, some with no success at all and all that I ended up with is balls of paper and glue and everything all sticky!! Anyway, I made these and I don't think they turned out too bad, of course having the right adhesive would probably help some!! I used just about all the good adhesive I had on the Mini-Pocket Album....but soo worth it. So here's my flowers that I made - remember, comments, suggestions are always welcome!!

I think these flower's have potential, but I don't like how they hook together!! I took 1 1/2" circles and folded them in half. Then I took a Bamboo Chopstick and folded and played with the circles until they resembeled petals - they could easily be manipulated into leaves as well. I want to figure out a better way to hook them together and it may just be that I'm not using the right adhesive, but as always, suggestions are welcomed!!

Thanks, Julie for asking about these flowers!!

Followers

I haven't heard a peep from anyone about anything I've posted for quite some time!! I would love some comments and maybe you guys could tell someone else about my blog? Cool....have a great night!

Pocket Mini-Album & "Made it Myself" Blog Hop Entry

I saw a book like this while I was surfing around and absolutely fell in love with the look of it. I found a fabulous UTube that explains how to create this step by step, including the measurements. I will say, this is one project where precise cuts and scores are essential! The book is made using chipboard and cardstock, pockets are created and you put tags and mini-books in those slots. If you're giving this as a gift you could choose to leave it blank and let the recipient fill it or you can choose to fill it for them. I think this turned out really cute - it was time consuming, but I think worth it. If anyone is interested in a link to the UTube I found, drop me a note and I will email that right to you!!


I'm going to enter this into a blog hop - "Made it Myself" Monday! The button, if you also want to enter this hop is on the left side of my blog. There's lots of talent in the buttons there!!

As you can see, I was short by one ring for the binding, but it will have 3-rings when I'm done. This was a lot of work, but I love how it turned out!! Hope you enjoyed it!!

And Even More....
