Hope Card

Where I work we have a young lady that has cancer and it is aggressive. She has gone through much. I and the woman I work with wanted to do something special for her, so I made the card and she bought a small basket with a yellow rose and some greenry and gave it to her. She is fighting all she can. She said to us " I have cancer but it does not feel like it is there." She is putting up a brave battle, I pray she will win. She comes to work everyday with a positve attitude and a smile on her face.

Even though she is going through this, she does sometimes feel like she is not whole, I thought this quote might help her that even though she is going through a lot she is still beautiful no matter what.

She thanked us, she needed that. She made us cry.

Altered Stampin Up tin

I found a couple of these tins at a yard sale over the summmer.

So I decided to alter it to be used for a Christmas gift. I used GBS for this. It took several tries, but I thought it turned out pretty nice.

Inside of tin.

I used Tim Holtz alcohol inks silver and gold to put on the edge. Sorry pic is not very good. As soon as I can I will have the cut file uploaded to my account on mediafire.

Before Cricut

Yes....Before I found Cricut, I did scrapbooking differently. Here is some pics of some I had done. I used the tearing method, some embellies, 3-D stickers and such. I had even did one after the song, "When you wish upon a star". Thanks for looking~

Scrapbook Jingle song swap on Cricut MB

I recently joined a swap where you choose a fav. Christmas song and design a scrapbook page out of it. You sent in only the recipe items for it. You needed 4 blocks for pics.,1 Jornaling block, 4 die cut images and at least 3 other items to be added, such as brads, ribbon and etc., a title piece on sturdy cardstock.
I chose the song Silver Bells. I printed out the song and put it on cardstock. I then did 4 blocks for pics. I found a pic of Santa and children from a postcard (I think) put it in an editing software, added lines to be used as a jb. With my Cricut, I cut a city scene at 3 inces from PSB. The bells at 3 inch from Wedding cart. Silver Bells from Jasmine and the shodow using DS. The two women shopping I found on the internet. I converted it to an SVG and useing my Cricut and SCAL, I cut them out also at 3 inches. The street light is cut at 3 inches with the lights hidden in DS. I shortened and then used a 1 inch circle punch to punch the red and green for the lights.

Second try at my button

If someone could take the time. Please see if my button works. It would greatly be appreciated:)

Thanks~

My button

I am trying to do a button so people can grab it and put on their site, can not seem to figure out how to click on it and get it to go to my blog. My code must not be right, having some difuculty with it. Still learning how to do everything, adding pages, links and so forth. So please have patience with me. Working full time and trying to fit all I love in each day can be a bit trying. But I love the challenge and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks~

Twilight Saga Fire and Ice recipe swap

Front of recipe book, book is 8x8.

This page and

this page I designed.

All of these ladies have talent.

Cute with the bones.

Love all the pics they chose.

Lots of bling~

 Unique styles of each mb member.

The idea was to pick a recipe from movie or own,

add a pic,

embellishment (silhoutte cut with MTC),

or quote to it.

Make enough for 8 people, 

so each person got one.

We had a blast!!!

Last page of book with list of recipes and each MB member name.

Snowman Snoflake ATC swap

A few years ago I was in a snowman-snowflake swap. I made a snowangel ATC. These were alot of fun.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge-French Manor ATC card

Here is an ATC card I made for the weekly drawing on the Cricut Circle blog. You have to use two cuts from the cart, I chose the word Paris cut at 2" and the Eiffel Tower cut at 3", cardstock is Bazzill light and dark pink. I wanted some dimension so I pop dotted the tower and layered it on top of another tower. You then had to have an embellishment to it. It had to be pearl or jewel. I chose to add both. I thought it turned out pretty nice. I used Bazzill white for the base of the ATC and black cardstock for the second layer. Matha Stewart white pearl and gem stickers. Cut file for the ATC card (white) and insert (black) from Brensdesigns.
Thanks for looking and all comments are welcomed~

Cricut Pumpkin Carving cart

I recently got this got and just had to try it out. I love wolves so I was pleased to see a howling wolf on this cart. I used the expression and the 12x12 mat. I selected the wolf and fit to page. Cut it out of chipboard and then again out of shiny black metallic cardstock from walmart. I glued it to the chipboard. I then took a 12x12 sheet of translucent vellumfrom paperbilities and glued it to the back side.  Here you see it with no light except the flameless candles from behind and then with the light on. Please excues the camera flash.
I just love this and plan on do more for Halloween.

Thanks for looking!

Hosting a swap on the Cricut MB

I am currently hosting a swap on the Cricut MB. It is Twilight Saga Fire and Ice recipe swap. I can hardly wait to see what everyone does for this. Each person has to decorate an 8x8 cardstock. On one side they are to put a Fire (Jacob) and the othere Ice (Edward) recipe and add a pic from the movie or a quote from the book-movie and some sort of embellishment. I will post pics of the completed book in Oct. That is when the swap ends. Thanks for checking out my blog~

My brothers wedding

I am working on a scrapbook of my brothers wedding. In a earlier post you saw the paint can I made for them for their gift. I have taken out the names and covered their faces for protection. I used the Hannah Montana cart for the words. Pop Princess for the first letter of each word and just the shadow feature for each letter behind them and the frame for their names. Assorted ribbons and prima flowers. The Wedding cart for the basket, rings, tux, gown and crown and the cardstock is DCWV The Luxury stack. As I get more done, I will post more pics.

Thanks for checking out my blog:)
