Hi, If this card doesn't make you smile...nothing will I used a big assortment of stuff from my stash. For starters the "Valentine Couple" is from Enjoy The Seasons Imagine Cartridge. The lovely doily I had sitting in my I cut it but haven't used it pile. Actually I did use half of the doily on another card. The paper was printed with the Imagine but a die from Cherry Lynn Dies  ( I think

Morning, Still on the Valentine kick! I needed to make a card for Xavier so I can put his Valentine treats in the mail. I think it is so cute. Cartridge for the bug and words is Create A Critter. The heart pattern paper is actually from Imagine cartridge Frosty, which is more of a winter/Christmas one. The border punch is from Fiskars and "with love" is a cuttlebug embossing folder. I

Good Morning! It's Monday and my day for posting at Creative Critterz Imaginations. Things have changed up a little over there...we have two new design teams so we'll be alternating weeks. Nothing much will change on my blog as I plan to continue with Imagine posting on all Mondays. A little chit chat first....How was your week-end? I spent Saturday out Geocaching. It was fun, found a new park

Happy Friday! Do you remember Monday I told you I had some Valentine candles to share? Well here they are. Last week-end I stopped into Bath & Body Works. If you look closely inside the glass votive you can see a small candle. They were selling these for $1.50 and they gave you the glass votive for it. I bought three on Saturday and went back on Sunday, as it was the last day of the sale and

Hi There, Just a quick little hello today. My goal in the New Year is to post on Monday, Wed, & Friday. We'll see how that goes. Everyone once in a while I take a card class from a local Stampin' Up Demonstrator. This was one of the cards we did at her class. All products are Stampin' Up. A couple new things that I played with that  Stampin' Up didn't have when I was a Demonstrator - They have

Good Morning, Hope you had a relaxing week-end. I filled mine with some crafting. I did cards, Valentine candles and some scrapbooking. I've been neglectful of my scrapbooking and need to get consistent again. Announcement for the new additions to the design team at Creative Critterz Imaginations were announced on Friday! Woo Hoo! Look forward to working with these talented ladies. I

Good Morning, Just a quick card to share with you today. All supplies are from Stampin' Up!. The latice work is a die cut as well as a die was used to cut out the label. I quite like their new folded ribbon. I attached it with double sided tacky tape and it worked well. I'm currently working on a couple scrapbook pages and those always take a while. Hope to be able to share those on Monday.

Hello There, Hope everyone had a good week-end. The weather was great here so I went for a couple hikes and did a little geocaching. FUN! A little story I've been meaning to share. When my DD was getting ready to leave after Christmas to go home I was doing the last minute scan of the house to see what might be left behind. I checked the dresser drawers in her bedroom and found NOT her stuff

Good Morning, It's that time of the year when we can all use a thank you card or two. Just wanted to let you know that Creative Critterz Imagines are looking for some new people to add to their Design Team. Click here for details. I used a variety of items on this card. The flower stamp is from Heartfelt Creations and colored with the copics. I did take a close up of the flower but the pic

Happy New Year, Hope everyone had wonderful holiday season. It's now time to get back to crafting. I for one know that I have really missed playing/creating in my craftroom over the holidays. My day to post over at Creative Critterz Imaginations Blog. There was no theme this week for the design team to follow. We could just let our creative juices flow. I went with a birthday card....it

Morning, Just a quick little card to share this morning. I made this using Imagine Snow Angel. A 5 1/2 x 12" piece of cardstock scored at 4" & 8". Used a spellbinders die to cut the holes. Keeping it short as I'm sure you're as busy as I am! Monday my DD is arriving and then we will be really busy. Must get my tree this week-end as I promised DD that I would wait so she could help

Good Morning, Well I spent 6 hours out shopping yesterday only to come home and order most stuff on-line.  I have a few more things to pick up and still some things I want to make and still a couple presents to wrap and put in the mail. Ugh.....they are going to be late. These are the glass blocks you can buy at Michael or Hobby Lobby. I also found out Lowe's carrys them in colors, red & green.

Morning Crafters, It's getting down to the wire to get everything done. Heading to post office shortly to mail out the bulk of my Christmas cards. Still need to make about a dozen more but will feel better if I get what I have done out. Shopping if far from complete but the list is getting shorter. I liked this card so much I actually made four of them. This year I've been usually only making

Morning, TGIF - not really for me...if it wasn't Friday it would mean I would still have more days left in the week. If you remember yesterday I was going to check my Christmas card count. Yikes....I'm coming up short...way short. I may have to produce more than one of a design to get enough ready by mailout day which should be Monday. I played around with a variety of cricut cartridges on

Good morning, Hope everyone is getting their Christmas preparations done. I'm slowly getting there...slowly been the key word. So a quick card for you. Background is textured with a cuttlebug folder. The tree itself is from a Stampin' Up die cut. The great part is take any shape and glue three of them together and you can have a pop up effect. I little weather news from Texas. It froze

Good Morning, Back for another week of projects. For the month of December the design team over at Creative Critterz Imaginations gets to be creative and showcase whatever we like. I started this project off with a white 12 x 24" canvas. Painted the edges green and covered it with two sheets of pattern paper. The rosettes are cut from Ribbons & Rosettes at 2.75" which makes about a 5" diameter

Hello There, Just want to wish my DD a Happy Birthday today! She's turning 27. I can't believe it. Have a GREAT day Kristen! Card was created using the Imagine and Yummy cartridge. I was in a hurry when I took the photo so I didn't end up with a good one showing dimension. There are lots of layers. I think I'll try to get some more of my Christmas decorations up today. Yvonne

Must start the Christmas shopping. :) I do enjoy coloring so I pulled out my copic markers and an old stamp I've had for years but just love. Word Joy and ornament shapes cut with the cricut.

Hi There Crafty Friends, I know I've been gone for awhile but I did have a great visit with my son and his family. I will share some of my pictures and stories of that part of the visit later. I flew back home on Thanksgiving and the flight I was on in Newark was overbooked so Continental were looking for volunteers to go on a later flight. It was only two hours later and I didn't have a

Good Morning My Crafty Friends! This project is probably one of my favorites. While I was out shopping at Sam's Club on the week-end I spotted this very cute set of dishes to hold Santa's Goodies. There were four different designs and I stood there and looked and looked for a very long time. Finally I made a decision...of course the one I wanted was on the bottom so had to dig it out....then I

Hi There, Glad to be back again this week to share my Thanksgiving table decor. I'm really enjoying these charger plates. They are so easy and quick to make. The pumpkins, acorns, and leaves were printed using the printable vinyl and the cartridge is Enjoy the Seasons. Happy Thanksgiving from Lyrical Letters. The swirls I can't remember. Both the swirls and Happy Thanksgiving printed on yellow

Good Day! Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday morning. Just a quick little card to share with you. I had made this particular card for my Goddaughter Jenna. She had sent me a picture of her in her new scrub top that she had purchased and the card reminds me of the top.. She's now in college so I did up a little care package for her. Not traditional fall colors but I like it. I cut a circle

I'm entering this into a sketch challenge for the Cricut Circle on-line magazine. So that's where the sketch came from the tea idea is all about a new tea I discovered.

Hello There Crafters, Changing things up this week. We are to create a "Family Layout". As you know here on Creativer Critterz Imaginations we're showing you all the nifty things you can do with your Cricut Imagine. Usually I show you how great it is to print your own paper and icons and then have your Cricut cut them out. This week I did things a little different. If you're like me you have

Hi There, I'm now into full swing on getting my Christmas cards done. Last count I only have fourteen done. I better get a move on as I'm taking a little vacation soon to go and see my grandson. Looking forward to that. We Skype with him occasionally and I had sent him a little package of goodies so he opens it on skype. It was one of those Halloween treat boxes that I showed last week.

There were lots of great cards last weekat Creative Critterz Imagination and this week I'm sure you're going to see a real variety of projects as our project can be anything but MUST include the colors: purple, green, orange, black. I used Happy Hauntings and my Imagine to decorate the candle. I didn't get the video made but

Hello Crafters, I wanted to create a Halloween card that wasn't quite so traditional. One you might give to someone special! The entire project was designed on the Cricut Craftroom. It makes it so easy to see how everything will fit together and also to make sure your sizing works. I started with the square card feature from Life's A Beach at 5 1/2". The two black squares from George and

Morning, Finally got around to getting a scrapbook page done. It went together quite quickly. All paper and printed using Kates Kitchen Imagine cartridge. With the exception of the banner all images are also from Kates Kitchen. Base Camp might have been the font. These pictures were taken when I was visiting Xavier this summer. We had a great time baking. If you click on the journalling in

Hello, I'm still working on entering into some cricut challenges so I took a break from Halloween projects and slipped in a Christmas Card. The challenge was to use any cricut cartridge that was a circle exclusive and it must have at least two cricut cuts. I choose French Manor for the exclusive cartridge. The cut from is the window/frame. The tree/presents/snowflake and pattern paper are

Good Day! Actually for me it is an AWESOME DAY!  Many good things are happening. I made this card cause I might get to go to Paris in November......keeping my fingers crossed. I also was recognized this week in the CRICUT CHIRP newsletter  for my Spooky Mansion Charger plate. Last time it was for all those vinyl/magnetic robots I made for Xavier.

Morning, This is the other "Boo" basket that I made. This one has a more adult theme.  I included a couple of wine glasses and some frozen alcohol beverages as well as some tasty oatcakes and candy. The Happy Halloween was stamped and embossed in black. The cat and frame cut from black cardstock using Happy Haunting cartridge then clear embossed so they are shiny.  Another Halloween plate

Hi There, The is my Boo-ing basket I designed for my weekly post over at Creative Critterz Imaginations. What is "Boo-ing"? It starts the 1st of October and continues up until the 30th of October. You make a small treat (a bag of candy,cookies,whatever you want) attach the poem and Boo-ing directions and leave it on a friend's or neighbor's doorstep at night and ring the bell before

Hi There...It's Wednesday and you're halfway through the week! My pumpkins are from Michaels. They are the ones you can actually carve too but I just went for the vinyl look. Wanted to mention if you don't have vinyl think about contact paper that you would use in kitchen cupboards...just make sure you test it so if you want to remove it from something you can....say a wall. Happy Hauntings

Good Morning, Just a little story this morning...have you heard of "Geocaching"?  My son mentioned it to me on the week-end while I was trying to watch Xavier on Skype...just a blurr on the computer monitor as he whizzes past showing how he can kick a ball...back to topic.... Geocaching - sort of like a scavenger hunt. People hide containers and then give you  hints and co-ordinates to find

Good Morning, Glad to be here to start off another week. This week our theme over at Creative Critterz Imaginaiton is "tags". I decided to make luggage tags. (The white paper is to hide the address and phone number!) The base for the tags is the mirror/window option on Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge. All tags were cut at 4.5" Bird tag - Paper & Bird - Lori's Garden Butterfly tag - Pattern

Morning, A bit of a fall theme today. Our temperatures have cooled slightly but no where near what many of you are experiencing for fall weather. I think we are still in the 90's. It's comfortable now. Today's entry I used a variety of products. Background paper printed with the Imagine.

Good Morning, I seem to be getting a backlog of projects to post. Guess that means I'm getting lots of crafty time in. The next few posts will be a combination of Halloween and Christmas. I'm having so much fun with Halloween. Today a two-page scrapbook layout. This one was a little challenging to co-ordinate the two pages. One one side I wanted a masculine page but the other side was Xavier

Hello, Going to make this quick. As I posted yesterday I used exactly the same stamp, ink, and copic markers to color the image. Pattern paper is last years Basic Grey Christmas line. The ornaments are from Stampin' Up and stamped with versamark and gold embossed on the same pattern paper as the background. Ornaments individually cut out and raised up with dimensionals.

I have the projects completed just don't have them uploaded. :( This is another of those 3-dimensional House Mouse cards. I got the print from Fargo Cat Shops. Check out here on-line store...she has lots of great things. Basically you just cut out all the pre-printed images and then layer them together

Hello There, Hope you are all enjoying a long week-end! I'm starting this week off with a Home Decor project. I've had a table on my deck that I've been wanting to do something with and once I got started it was so much fun. I created vinyl placements, coasters and then decorated a vase/candle holder. Only cartridges used were Wall Decor and Imagine Blossom. All printing was done on Cricut

Hi There, This card I made a few weeks back. It was for my nephew birthday this week. I suspect he might not have it yet as I didn't get it in the mail till last week. :( All images and pattern paper from JT Art Cartridge. I had take some more picture to show how everything was layered but they are a bit blurry and I don't have the card any longer. Black dew drops to fill the empty spaces

Good Morning, Here we are again. It is my turn to post over at Creativer Critterz Imaginations. This week we have free reigh on what we wanted to make. Of course I decided on a scrapbook page. Don't you just love the shoe picture. I've taught my children well...Adam thought taking a picture of their shoes lined up would make a good scrapbook page. And he was right! All paper is printed

Hi There, Nothing to exciting to share with you today. Just a pretty simple Christmas card. Tim Holtz inks to color the bird and alter the pattern paper as well as the image and sentiment.  Using ink the subtly change the color of my paper is probably one of my favorite techniques. The stamps are from Stampin' Up and the pattern paper from Hobby Lobby. Hope everyone on the east coast

Morning, Okay just one more using the Cheery Lynn Design dies.   I'm using metal with them this time. FargoCat Shops had some in, if you don't see what you want give Deborah a call. The metal I used was gold premium craft foil. Mine came in a roll but at craft stores you can buy it in individual sheets too. BTW mine is gold on one side and silver on the other. I used the die in my cuttlebug,

I'm sure you are going to see lots of different ideas so make sure to check back each day for a new designer reveal!

Morning, Just a quick little project today. I used printable vinyl to decorate this water bottle. It's for a girlfriend for her birthday. She's into fitness but enjoys shopping...a lot! The front of the bottle I used Lori's Garden Imagine cartridge for the doily circle and small flowers. The "A" and the back of the bottle was Wall Decor. I liked the saying, "I'd Rather Be Shopping".

Hello There, Today I'm here to share with you how you can get more mileage out of your Cherry Lynn Dies. This die is English Tea Party DL 101 from Cherry Lynn Designs. The snowflake is from Just-Rite stamps.  The picture doesn't do it justice but it is all gold embossed. The embossing powder actually sparkles. You can find all of the above products over at FargoCat Shops. Click the image

Hi There, This card was inspired by the heat down here these days! I admit I like it hot but even this is getting a little warm! My pool is like a bathtub...even when you take a shower the water in the holding tanks has warmed up so you never get cold water. lol It will pass. This is a House Mouse stamp colored with copic markers. If you're looking for some new House Mouse stamps FargoCat

Good Morning! Back at the start of a new week. Sure hope you had the opportunity to visit Creative Critterz Imaginations Blog all last week and see the Cute Critter cards and they were CUTE and most of the posts had great videos as well. I'm lacking in that area but will look into the possibility of doing a video in the meantime you will have to put up with my still shots. Our task this week was

Good Morning I've had a busy week. Took me longer to get ready for my post tomorrow than it should have, but I can't ell you anything more about that until Monday. Also DH has had the week off so crafting time has been a little less. This card is pretty simply. All the images are from a product called Dazzles. The images are a black vinyl in this case (they also come in other colors) you simply

Hey There.  It's Friday! I have a two page layout for you today. Of course it's featuring my favorite little person, Xavier. I took these photos when I was up visiting a couple of weeks ago. Him & I spent lots of Nana time at the park together and this is only a sampling of what's to come. lol Let's just say I filled my camera card. Some of my best photos are taken when you don't stop to centre

Good Monday!We're having yet another hot day in Texas. It is amazing how you acclimatize to it though...Saturday we were out riding our bike and the temp on my bike computer registered 112F. Note to self...get up earlier. The only breeze you got was what you generated by riding. Today I rode in the low 90's. Todays I posting a House Mouse project.

Good Morning, As promised I have a Christmas Ornament today. This was super easy! Using the Imagine and Snow Angel cartridge I printed out six snowflakes, scored down the centre of each folded in half and then glued the back together. Before glueing the last section insert your ribbon or string.  Added some beads to the top and bottom. Also a little diamond stickles to the red berries. I tried

Hi There Well I've made it back to Houston and did do a little creating yesterday. While I was in Nova Scotia I dropped by FargoCat Shops to have a little peak. There's all sorts of neat stuff in Deborah's store and I came away with a few new things. My first new item is Doily Dies. They are by Cheery Lynn Designs. You should watch the video on these dies. They come with great set of

Good Morning, Oh my...went to do a post this morning and I see blogger has changed their format again. Not necessarily a bad thing but you have to re-learn where all the buttons are located. This is another card I uploaded prior to leaving on vacation so I would have an occasional project to share with you. I not I haven't been posting much but that will change as I'll be back home on Monday

Good Morning, Well I know I'm not very reliable on posting these days. Vacation has been taking up all my time. Had a great trip to Wyoming...after a nightmare of botched airplane plans. 8:00 the night before I leave United Airlines leaves me a message saying my 6:00 a.m. flight to Salt Lake City has been cancelled and they've rebooked me a day later. After an hour and a half I get them to

Morning Bloggers! Sorry I've been MIA these days. I have been working on projects but just can't share them yet. It was a long week-end here too. Memorial Day. Saw some great fireworks on Sunday night. Went to a movie last night. Pirates of the Carribean. Not my favorite.

Hi There, I just have to say, I think this is one of my favorite scrapbook pages. I used Sketch #220 from Sketch inspiration. The best part is it only took about 5 hours to complete. Once I had an idea it all fell into place. Also entering this into Getting Scrappy Challenge. Paper from The Paper Loft called "Dude" & "Dude Distressed".

Good Morning, On the personal side of things here, not much going on. Watching all the season finales of everything. lol I must admit I have been a Survivor fan from day 1.  I was glad Rob won as I thought he played a good game. Other seasons that he was one...he was not my favorite! lol Today is a Home Decor project. I created the vines using Cindy Lou and welding four of the images together.

It's creative features are Frame, Border,

I really need to read through  the manual and work with all the features in a prescribed order instead of just trying to pick out what might work.

Hi There... Last one of my train cards to share. Pretty straight forward. The pattern paper was double-sided so you can see the large diamond and the smaller piece behind the train. The smaller piece was muted blues/grays together. It was embossed with the diamond cuttlebug folder and then the top was lightly sanded. Just wanted to accent the ridges. Used some 1/2 circles to stamp into. I had

Good Morning All You Crafty  People! May seems to be a month that I have a lot of birthdays of the male species. I always struggle a little bit more on my creativeness with their cards. I probably have about 8 or less masculine themed stamp sets and I am tiring of using them. Maybe the recipients are getting tired of receiving them. What am I thinking...they won't remember what I sent last year.

Good Morning Bloggers, Time again for the Design Teams reveal on Cardabilities. I used Lori's Garden Imagine cartridge to make the entire card. Green cardstock was all I used from my stash. Everything else print and cut on the Cricut. Diamond stickles added to the butterfly and pearl beads. Lots of layers on the card and pop dots used for dimension.
