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!
It's time for another Cardz TV / CCC challenge. The challenge is simple. Make a Christmas card using something that begins with the letter "S". You can use any cartridges and any colors.
I'm notorious for giving gift cards as Christmas Gifts so I decided to make some gift card holders. The paper for the gift card holders were printed with the Cricut Imagine using the Mr. Frosty cartridge and Santa's Sleigh uses the oldie but goodie Christmas Cheer cartridge.
I used the gift card holder die cut from "My Creative Time" to cut the gift card.
Well, I've got more of these to make. In the meantime stop by the CardzTV / CCC blog to see what the other DT members have made. And while you're at it, why don't you play along!

I'm back again with another card for the Cricut Cardz Challenge Site. This week the challenge is to make a Valentine's card using any cartridge; however,there's a catch. You must use the colors BLUE, GREEN and WHITE ONLY. This one was particularly challenging for me. I realize that I never used those colors.
I made a simple card using the "Doodlecharms" cartridge. The heart is cut # 3.0 inches. The matching envelope comes from the "Christmas Cheer" cartridge. The blue pattern paper was printed from the Cricut Imagine "Yummy" cartridge.
Your turn. Let's see how you do with this challenge.

Time for another Cricut Cardz Challenge!!! The challenge this week is to create a set of 3X3 Christmas Gift Cards or Christmas tags using any color and any cartridges that you like. I made a set of 6 cards. I really loved this challenge.
For this challenge I used the Base Camp, Winter Frolic and Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridges.
Now let’s see your take on this challenge! You can enter HERE
Design Team #1 has done a fabulous job with this week’s challenge over @ the Cricut Cardz Challenge Site. This week they will inspire you with Christmas cards using the “card creative feature” from any cartridge. Stop on by and join them. You can use any colors too. I decided to play along with Design Team #1. I used the card feature from the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge for the card base. I welded a square in the card to make an opening in the card then I used the card frame feature for the pink layer. The Christmas tree is pop dotted on the inside of the card. The tree was cut from the Christmas Cheer cartridge and the bows are from the Christmas Solutions cartridge (that is a FREE download if you purchase and register a Cricut Gypsy by 12/31/2010). As you can see, I used non-traditional Christmas colors because that’s the mood I was in. All bling is courtesy of the Imaginisce I-rock tool.
Don’t forget to check out the Cricut Cardz Site. We’d love to see your take on the challenge!

There’s an all new challenge posted at the Cricut Cardz Site. Stop by and join in on the fun. This week’s challenge is to create a Christmas card. Well, there is one stipulation. The card has to contain something that starts with an “S”. Beyond that, you can use any colors and any Cricut cartridge that you’d like. For this challenge, I chose to use snow, snowflakes, and a sleigh. I added a little sparkle to the sleigh, snow mound and snowflakes with stickles and glitter.

I guess I can't get enough of the Santa suits. After this card, I'm gonna force myself to break the habit. One more Christmas card done and lots more to go. Gotta keep moving...

And I'm still making cards... Here's a few Santa Hats made into cards.

I needed to get a card in the mail really quick so I made this card. Used my faithful Wild Asparagus paper and threw in a large Bazzill flower to add some umph! No time for other embellishments... I simply dug out my "Thinking of You" stamp and called it DONE!
Enjoy...
Here's a fun card that I did for a contest at one of the local scrapbook stores in my area. It was fun to break out the glitter, paint, and Heidi Swap bling. With all of the new Cricut cartridges, I'd forgotten all of the nice shapes that are on the Christmas Cheer cartridge! Gotta love that stocking...
Enjoy...
