Butterly Card

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I was blog hopping and ended up on Gina K's Stamp TV. I found a butterfly card she made and how she made it. Well I love butterflies and just had to try this technique. In this technique you use bleach to get the the light color in the butterfly. Wow this is really awesome. If you want more details visit Stamp TV and you will be able to see a video tutorial the Gina K made. Have a great day.

Okey guys, I am now on a cigar box kick. This is real small one. I just think it's so cute. This one is a little simpler than the other ones I made. Hope you like it. Comments are welcomed. Have a great day.

Shadow Box Frame

Okey here is a shadow box frame for Melanie also. In the past I had made her one for each of my grand-kids. So this time it was her turn. I tried to keep hers in the same colors as the ones I made of the kids. If you go to my August post you can see theirs. This is also one of her Christmas gifts. What do you think?

Altered Cigar Box For My Mom

I'm back. Ok this is one of my mom's gifts. I had made her for her birthday in October a mini album using the same paper so I thought it would be nice to make the box match. She is a little more simple so I did not put to much bling on hers. Do you like it?? I do!!

Altered Cigar Box

Hi everyone,
Well my DH brought me a bag full of cigar boxes and asked do you want these? I looked at him and said, Do bears poop in the woods? What kind of a question was that??? Of course I want them. My mind started racing with the possibilities of what I could do. Well is the first one I made. This one is real simple with just enough bling. What do you think?

The paper I used is from DCWV and it's called Mariposa. I love this paper and I've used several times. The butterfly I bought at Michael's. The minute I saw it I knew exactly what I was going to use it for.

Thank You Card

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all are great. Are you ready for Christmas?? I'm not. Wow, and it's almost here. I guess I should get a move on. Lol. I made 5 of these cards for my cousin who has been in the hospital since mid October. She wanted to thank the nurses in the ICU and on the regular floor for saving her life and the excellent care she has recieved.

Storage For Cricut Accsesories

Hi everyone,
I bought this storage bin at Target and I know that Joann's also have them. They are great because you can get them in different sizes and colors and they snap together.

I put the booklets in the top one in alphabetical order. In the second one I keep a booklet with a sheet for each cartridge with the images that are in that cartridge.

In the third one I keep the Cricut manuel the markers, extra blades, deep cut housing and blades and any other things pertaining to the Cricut. I hope this helps. It works for me maybe it will for you also.

Cricut Cartridge Storage

Hi Everyone,
Here is how I store my cartridges. I don't alphabitize them I just number them in numerical order as I buy them. I do alphabitize the booklets and on the front cover on one of the corners I put the number of the corresponding cartridge. This way I know when I pick a booklet I want to use I know the number of the cartridge.
