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.

 

 

 

 

Cigar Box

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

Hi Everyone,

Well today I was off and I spent the whole day in my scrap room working on Christmas gifts. Here is another cigar box I made. This one os for my daughter Melanie. I tried to make each box with the likes of the person I an making them for. I think this turned out pretty nice. Don't 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.

Family Mini Album

Hi Everyone,
I made this mini album but I did not know which pictures I was going to put in them. Well I pondered and pondered and then it hit me. I decided to make it an ablum for my mom for her birthday which is next month. The shorter lady that you see in the pictures is my mom and the other lady was my aunt Edna her sister who passed away last Nov.2 from alzheimers.
I decided to just have pictures of my mom her sister and them with others in the family. I really like how it turned out. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I used my new Bind It All for this project. Woo Hoo! Thanks for stopping by.

My Grand-Daughter Angelique's Birthday

On August 20th it was my grand-daughter Angelique's birthday. This is the third year that her and I alone go to Build A Bear Workshop and get her a new Bear or other animal and get some outfits and such. This year she picked Hello Kitty as you can see from the picture. We always have a great time together picking out cloths and stuff. Below is the card I made her. The card was made with Create A Critter Cartridge. She is so cute and was all decked out for the occasion as you can see. I love you Angelique!!!!

 

 

Stampin Up Club

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all having a great weekend. Last night the Stampin Up Club I belong to got together and we had some wine and cake while we made this card. As usual we had a great time and laughed alot. One the girls brought some Chocolate Wine you heard right Chocolate Wine. She got it at Publix Supermarket. Oh my gosh it was so good. I've never had a Mud Slide drink but they all said that it kinda tasted like it. If you like wine you gotta try it. At first I thought YUK CHOCOLATE WINE?? Well we decided that it was going to be our club drink. LOL Needless to say we had alot of fun. Anyways this is the card we made. I think it's really pretty. Our demonstrator Dena is awesome!!!! You go girl!!

New Class At Michael's

Hi Everyone,
Well on August 9th my second round of Scrapbook classes started at Michael"s in Homestead Flordia.  My first class I had 3 students and this time I have 8. All the my students are a bunch of really nice ladies of different degrees of scrapbooking experience. I have a great time with these ladies and I hope that they too are having a good time.

Jury Duty

Hi Everyone,

Well I had Jury Duty yesterday, so guess what I took with me. I took my Gypsy!!!!  I also took 3 Scrapbooking magazines. I'm so glad I did it made the time there much better.  I did get picked but they settled out of court so that was it.  They let us go about 1 hour after we got back from lunch.  At least I don't have to worry about it for another year. I did my civil duty. Woo Hoo!  Have a great day.

Cricut Deep Cutting Blade And Housing

Hi Everyone,
Well I just wanted to tell you all that own the Cricut by Provo Craft that I discovered that at Toy's R Us online you can order the deep cut blade and housing for $9.99 YES you are seeing right I said $9.99. At Michael's and Joann's they are $29.99 so I ordered the housing and blade plus I ordered  a package of extra blades for only $7.98. My total came out with shipping and tax to $28.97 which is less then what Michael's and Joann's sell the housing and blade alone. So with this I say if you need these this is were to order them. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend.

What Makes Me Happy Mini Album Part 1

Hi Everyone,

Well I could not wait to make something with my new Bind It All. I worked on this mini album for a day and a half. I still need to add some personal journaling to it to be completely finished. The paper is from My Minds Eye. My daughter Melanie gave me this paper as part of a gift that she gave me that consisted of scrapbooking stuff. I love the paper. If you click on the picture it will enlarge and then just hit the back button to go back to the blog. Let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by.
