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!
The Cricut Cardz Challenge theme for this week is April Showers. Make a card for any occasion using an umbrella, rain boots, clouds, raindrops, puddles, etc. from any cartridge(s) and using any colors you'd like.
I chose to make a "pick me up" card using he "Everyday Pop Up" and "George" cartridges.
Now it's your turn. First drop by the Cricut Cardz to see what the other designers have made. Then show us your take on the challenge.
We'll be stopping by to see what you've done.
Enjoy...
OK... I've always admitted that I'm a gadget girl sooooo when the new Cricut Imagine (CI) was announced, I was immediately interested. Of course, I said I'd wait until it had been out for about six months before I purchased. Well that was before the HSN launch. After seeing the HSN bundle, I purchased that day! And since we're a team, I convinced my BFF and scrappy buddy Karen to purchase too!!! It didn't take much LOL!
This card was done solely with the Imagine (with the exception of the sentiment at the bottom). This entire card started as just white paper. I used the CI Best Friends cartridge to print the pattern papers and used the RGB feature to get the matching solid blue on the turtle's shell and the solid black on the turtle's body as well as the black paper at the bottom of the card. I ran the black paper through the Cuttlebug.
This is a simple card that was totally done in one 12 X 12 piece of white cardstock (there was paper left over). So far I like the CI. I can see lots of possibilities.

Just dropping in to post my take on this week’s 2 Sketches Challenge (Kazan #49). Once again I pulled out my new favorite, PTI Polka Dot Basics II stamps, for the bottom portion of the card. I used Cricut Straight From the Nest for the bird and oval scallop.

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.
Enjoy...
This week I decided to play along with everyone @ the 2 Sketches 4 You site. I’ve got quite a few cards to make and a little inspiration never hurt anyone. This card is for one of my co-workers who just had surgery. The office is not the same when she’s absent so I used the rain frog that I got from myscrapchick.com and I chose the sentiment “ain’t no sunshine when you’re gone”.
Enjoy…
I’m on target with my third set of RAK cards. I’ve found that it’s easier to get them done if I come up with one theme and stick with that. Well got lots more to do. Just wanted to do a quicky post.
Enjoy…
I couldn’t stay away from the black, white, red combo. So here’s a quick Get Well card using the color scheme that I reach for more often than not.
Enjoy!
…the MORE they stay the SAME (at least with this set of cards)… I was asked to recreate a couple of cards that I'd done in the past. To switch it up a bit, I chose different paper and ribbon than those used with the original cards. I’ve got to admit that it was just as much fun doing it again as it was the first time. Hope the recipients like them…
Enjoy…
