Baby Boy

Morning,

I had a new Great Nephew born in May and I've been neglectful on my Auntie duties. In my defense I have had other things on my plate.

Regardless I finally sat down and whipped up this cute card. The image is from Nursery Tails Imagine cartridge. In order to make it into a card I used CCR and used two images of the same shape but flipped one of them and then welded them together.  I raised up the bottle cap, leaf and animals for added dimension. Super cute and Super quick.

Card went into the mail Friday!

Sun is shining this morning. Temperatures have been cooler than usual and we've been getting lots of rain. Must run...got things to accomplish.

 

Have a GREAT Monday!

Howdy

Howdy Partners!

The stamp is another Heartfelt Creation.  I did not purchase the co-ordinating die.

Pattern paper from DCWV called "The Guy Stack". It has some great papers in it.

The "Howdy" cut from "Old West" cartridge at .75". I exchanged out the cutting blade for a cricut marker. The settings for using the marker are on the side of each pen in case you forget!
So....
1. Load pen
2. Load paper
3. Check your cut settings
4. Press cut
5. DON'T unload paper
6. Change from pen back to blade housing being careful not to move the housing when changing.
7. Change settings for cutting.
8. Press cut again on your machine.
9. Before you unload the paper make sure it cut all the way through if not hit cut again.

Brown twill ribbon from the dollar store. Metal accessories - Stampin' Up.

Image colored with copics. Reminder - Colors can be blended and you can color over one color with another colored marker and it doesn't color transfer back to your marker.

Tim Holtz distress inks to shade background on vanilla cardstock.

Star punch from dollar store.

 

Enjoy your Sunday.

Wishing You Happiness

Hi There,

I've been away for a few days again. Went to Memphis and yes I did make a stop at Graceland. I enjoyed Elvis's music but going to Graceland wasn't on my bucket list however, when I found the opportunity was there for the taking I decided I should really have a look. I enjoyed the tour that man really knew about bling!

This stamp is from Heartfelt Creations. The sentiment is separate but from this company as well. I did not purchase the corresponding die to cut out parts of the rose and layer. There are quite a few stamps that incorporate the rose therefore if you had all the stamps and die it would be great.

The background paper, the print and the brown is actually fabric that is adhesive backed. It is meant for scrapbooking and cards. It's really very pretty.

The image is colored with copic markers. I tore around the image and then used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to blend it all together. Pink ribbon from Stampin' Up. Bows and pearls from my stash. The image raised up with dimensionals.

I have lots of other projects to share with you in the coming days. Stay tuned.

Pawprints On Our Hearts!

Happy July 4th! Just celebrating a quiet day...getting a little scrapbooking done.

This is officially my first doggy scrapbook page. Kristen and Joel adopted a rescue puppy a couple of weeks ago and she is a sweetie. When I went to Toronto to visit they already had her and she knows how to suck up. She liked the toy I bought. lol Patches, the cat is slowly adjusting and letting Lacey know who really is queen of the domain.

The octagons cut from George & Basic shapes at 1". Each piece of embossed with a heart folder separately so they would all have exactly the same placement of design. All cream colored paper distressed with Stampin' Up ink - River Rock.

Font - Letter Envy at .8"

Hearts - George & Basic Shapes 1.5"

Paw Prints - Meow 1.5"

Lace died with River Rock ink.

Lacey has certainly found herself a wonderful home.

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day!

Wish I was there to celebrate with all of you!

I know...I'm wearing out this cartridge! Another project completed with Wild Card 2. All three cards I completed in one afternoon with that cartridge. Remember inking or chalking your cricut cuts adds more dimension to them. These were all inked.

I spent Friday and Saturday at a Creating Keepsakes convention. I took a couple of classes. Two of them were scrapbook classes featuring Disney layouts. I've got a ahead start on my scrapbooking for next year. The layouts are pretty cute but there were no techniques to learn or anything. It was all precut and all you did was assemble.

I also took a card class from Heartfelt Creations. First I'll say I really like there product. However, I wasn't so thrilled with their cards for the workshop. One I'll throw away cause I just think it looks tacky. The other two are okay. That's just my opinion.

Hope everyone has a great day and I hope to be back soon with more projects.

Whisking You Well!

 Hi There Crafters,

Today's card is for a friend who recently graduated from culinary school and we had a party for her last night. Lots of good food to eat for sure!

I recently added a new cartridge to my collection. Wild Card 2. I really like this cartridge. It comes with a font, envelope, card, phrase and icon features.

The envelope and card were cut at 5" and the phrase cut at 1.25".
The pattern paper from Kate's Kitchen as are the co-ordinating colors. Cream cardstock Stampin' Up.

Tim Holtz distress inks for shading. Weathered Wood, Barn Door, Vintage Brown, Antique Linen.

Congratulations - Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake - .75"

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Love You To Death

Good Morning,

Surprised to see me around. I've had a busy month and was kinda in a creative slump. When I did create something I mailed it off before I took a photo.

I did spend last week-end in Toronto with my DD competing in the City Chase. We had a great time, the events were physical but we completed the event with two minutes to spare. We finished around 248 out of 600 teams so I think we did pretty good. I'll share some of the photos in a couple of days. I might even get them scrapbooked.

For today I have a card. I made this with the cricut cartridge Wild Card 2. This cartridge has some great features. Envelopes, cards, phrases, and a font. Used my Imagine to print and cut all the images. On a side note my Imagine has been acting up. Just wouldn't print or cut properly....well there was a piece of paper stuck inside of it and it finally popped out. Yahoo....it's working perfectly again. I'm so happy.

Pattern paper and ink choices from Imagine More Cartridge. Edges inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

Today I'm off to a Creating Keepsakes convention. I'm going to take a couple of classes and maybe do a little shopping. :) Need to be in an air conditioned venue as temperatures today are heading to the triple digits.

I promise to not be gone so long this time....so see you soon!
