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!

Thinking of YOU… Cricut Cardz #9

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.

Masculine Bday…. Cricut Cardz #8

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!

Versatility…

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.

SCENT-sational Invites and Gift Certificates…

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.

THANKS... You're a doll...

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.

Present Shaped Card...

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...
