Christmas and Cricut

What better to do than play with your Cricut when you are on vacation and visiting family!! I went through my cartidges and picked out a few things to cut and was showing my Mom how it worked! My Step-dad thought it was really cool and started asking what all the machine could do. I set it to cut and walked away. I went to go back into the kitchen and the dogs ran ahead of me. Milo started barking at the cricut because he didn't know what it was!! LOL, silly dog!

These next pictures are from the Christmas Solutions cartridge:

I decided that I wanted to cut out all but the first Tinkerbell's from the Tinkerbell and Friends cartridge. To get them to fit most of them are rather small. If you zoom in on the picture you will see that only one has the eyes on it. The cricut just tore them apart and they are way to small for me to handle. I'll use my white gel pen later to replace the white cardstock for the eyes!

New Martha Stewart Punches

Martha Stewart Valentine Punches hit the Michael's website so I headed to the store to purchase them, only to find out that they weren't on the shelves yet!! I asked an employee and they were in the back because they didn't know where or how to display them!! I was able to find four of the five punches (I got the fifth one later!). Here's a shot of the four I had at the time I took these pictures!!



This is a shot of the mini heart scallop punch compared to the SU scallop edge punch on the bottom left and the Fiskar's threading water edge punch! Just so that you can see how tiny the scallops and hearts are!!

I'm still alive......

Sorry that there hasn't been an update in a while......things have been a little crazy. One weekend was a birthday party, the next was a trip home for Thanksgiving and to meet the new puppy....the next weekend I was working.....and then last weekend into this weekend I have been sick. I met up with Amy and tried to make a few things this past weekend....but I just wasn't feeling it. I'll take pictures of my attempts later. Tonight it's medicine and rest!!

Aspen Flip Book

Have I mentioned that I LOVE making these flip books!! LOL. I have made yet another one. This time I switched the paper out and used the Aspen paper packet. I used the bulk B&T, so there are only two patterns, but by flipping them over I have four!

I will try to complile a list of supplies used and add it later!!

Art & Soul Crazy for Cards

CTMH TV has these episodes called Art & Soul where you can watch and learn how to make projects of different sorts. I watched the Crazy for Cards one and decided to take my own spin on it. They used the Evensong level 2 paper packet and the December Stamp of the Month. I wanted to make my cards less seasonal, so I decided to use the bulk B&T paper and use sheets from all five paper packets that came out in the Autumn Winter catalog. Enjoy!

Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Bulk B&T Magic Moments, Evensong, Notebook, Perfect Day, and Aspen
Cardstock ~ Indian Corn Blue, Cranberry, Creme Brulee, Cocoa, Black, Colonial White
