Card Club

The cards that I made at card club with Sherri Robinson.
IT says happy Mothers day but the scan did not turn out and I didnt want to do it again.

See what a horrable scan. Maybe I should try to take photos of the cards that have 3d elements on them. this one is the brat. It is a fabric brat in the mini. I just love them.
This is a card that I made one night you cant really see the background but it is pink. the stamps are fiskers and the ink is su



made this one at dana's i love the stamp set. all products are su


isnt this one beautiful. made it at dana's too, all products are su

fun little easter card

This was a cute little card that I made over at Julies house. When you open the card up you see the rest of the egg chicken and a little saying that says "you crack me up" for the egg part I put diamond glaze down and sprinkled glitter dust on and let dry.
I used a su border punch to do the bottom edge. all items are su except for the patterned paper and the ribbon and the little button brats and the diamond glaze and glitter.

Just Bee Scrapin cards

These are the cards that I made at Just bee Scrapin (my local scrapbook store) for the month of April. I put my own spin on them.
the saying on this one was printed off the computer then I inked the edges with chestnut rune brown with chalk ink,

this one instead of having the ribbon go down the center I placed it around the "flower" I also embossed the center and inked it then when i got home i stamped the sentiment in the center. I also used the back side of the flower paper. I wanted to use the dots instead.

This card was a challenge because of the weaving. wasn't sure how to do it. I ended up gluing the tops of the dots and flower strips down then putting a line of glue on the red paper and weaving it. then gluing the ends of the patterned down. The flower was originally in the center but i set it to the one side of the card

My Expression

This is My new Cricut. I won it from E Bay for $90. ($104 with shipping) The awesome thing is it the add said that it was used and so they were selling it for cheap, and that the box was damaged, when it came the box was not damaged, just open previously. And their is no sign of use on the machine, in fact there is still grease on the gear for the bottom panel. (it doesn't get paper greasy it is special) I am going to cut my name out of vinyl and put it on the front lower right side.
This is it open. I am so excited about it. It came with 2 cartridges Classic Font and Playtime. (see previous posts to see em) I am dreaming of all the fun projects that I am going to make with it.

The first one that I am going to attempt is a puzzle board for my son. I will post the photos when I get them done. It is exciting. whoot whoot

My New Toy...

So Aaron said that I could get an expression when we got our tax return. He was expecting to pay $200.00 for it. But me being the type that wants to get the best deal on everything Put a bid on one on EBay. I ended up scoring one for $90. ($104 with shipping) How cool is that.

This is the description of the expression. What is cool is that it is aqua. Granted my room is in Black and red, but this is way cool. I am dreaming of all the things that I am going to make with it. What should I make first?


Here are the cartridges that it comes with...

This one is Playtime. How fun. This will be cute for when I am making Ethan's Album, or fun little cards for little one's birthdays.



This is the Classic font cartridge. It has basicly 4 types of fonts on it It is too cute.


So I am WAY excited. I cant wait for it to get here. I will be selling my baby bug, no need for it now that I have this one.

Wedding sign in book


weddings are a beautiful thing (This is Jessica and Jason) and as a gift (plus they asked me to) I made a sign in book for them . It is basicly a scrapbook with a lot of white space for people to sign at the reception insted of a traditional sign in book. you are open to leave advice or well wishes or just sign your name. it was a fun thing to do but the colors red turquoise and black are hard to find. but lucky for me SEI happened to have a line that met up with what i needed.
