Welcome...
So glad you chose to stop by!
I hope to use this blog to share some of my handmade cards as well as some of my scrapbook pages and maybe a few pics here and there that may or may not make it to a scrapbook page.
Scrapping for me is simply a fun hobby that I don't do often enough. More often than not, I'm a collector of all things scrap... i.e. tools, paper, embellishments...
Now to become motivated... Maybe this blog is just the way to do it...
Enjoy and come back SOON!
Okay, I admit it… I’m having a great time participating in the challenges @ the Cricut Cardz Challenge Site. This is my 3rd challenge in three weeks. What a way to give the Cricut a workout. Anyway, this week, the challenge was to create a Thinking of You card in any color and using any Cricut Cartridge. The card had to be folded using the “S-fold” technique.
So here’s my “S-fold” card. I used the Walk-In-My garden Cricut cartridge to cut the vase.

The timing of this challenge over @ the Cricut Cardz Challenge site could not have been more perfect. I needed to get a masculine card done ASAP. I usually procrastinate on the masculine cards because they are truly a challenge. For this card I used the Cricut Easter Seasonal Cartridge for the scallop circle base. I used “From My Kitchen” for the cake and cake plate. Of course, I couldn’t resist the urge to add ribbon, but at least no big bows and bling!

I made these cards a while ago and never got around to posting them. As you can see, I used one of my go to “stamps”. In this day where digital stamps are so popular, I’ve made a few of my own. And I use this one a LOT. It’s so versatile. I was also able to use some of those HUGE brads that I’ve had in my stash forever. Simple, quick and serves the purpose.

I made 30 of these invitations per request. I also made 4 of the little gift certificates. This set is for a fragrance party and the hostess wanted to send invitations in the shape of a perfume bottle. Ummm, sure I can do that. Anyway, I found some clipart for the basic shape of the bottle and used my Pazzles to make it a cutting file. Since the bottle looked a little plain, I created the bottom scallop to dress it up a bit. I like the way it turned out. For the gift certificates, I used the clipart form of the bottle as the background image; typed the pertinent info and I was done.

I discovered the Cricut Cardz Challenge Blog at the end of last year and made a mental note to particpate in some of the challenges. This card is based on Challenge 7 which is simply to make a thank you card using any colors and any Cricut cartridge. I decided to use the doll cut from the Cricut Paisley cartridge.

This little card was cut from an SVG file. I was trying out some software and thought I'd start with something simple. I kinda like...
