Throwback Thursday Challenge~Valentines

2012-02-07T12:13:00.001-05:00

This weeks challenge over at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ is to make a Valentines card using any cartridge. I used the Love Struck 2010 cartridge for the heart with the man and woman facing each other. I also used the heart die and stamps from the 100% Sweetness set. The patterned paper that I used is from Martha Stewart and the cardstock is SU. I am thinking now that I should have inked the edges of the cuts to make it stand out more, next time.

Thanks for stopping by.

Winter Banner

2012-01-23T16:50:00.000-05:00

Banners have become my new addiction. I love the rosettes on them and adding decorative cricut cuts. I used the B is for Boy Lite cartridge for the banner, Winter Frolic for the boy and girl and the font from the E2. I made a shimmer mist using and sprayed it on the banner and the rosettes.

Supplies:
Paper: Stampin Up and DCWV
Cuttlebug Folders: Polka Dots and Snowflakes
Shimmer Mist: Mini mister, Rubbing Alcohol, Frost White Shimmer Paint(SU)

This past weekend I took a class with Kim from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and these are the two really cute cards that we made. Aren't these stamps adorable?

Paper Storage

2012-01-22T19:12:00.001-05:00

When I posted pictures of my craft room last week I was asked how I store my paper. So I took some pictures that show up close my paper storage. I do have it in a couple of places right now. All of my paper is pretty much Stampin Up or DCWV. I don't really buy any single sheets of paper. I have a couple of Recollections storage pieces that I use for my paper as well as a large storage center that I got at Canadian Tire.

This first photo shows my Stampin Up stacks and Designer Series Paper packs and DCWV stacks.

In this cube is my holiday stacks and some assorted company stacks.

The large storage center is where I store my cardstock. On the left hand side is my 81/2 x 11 SU cardstock. Each shelf has multiple shades of a colour. On the right hand side is my 12 x 12 and some 6 x6 cardstock.

The drawers in the middle hold my scraps. Drawer 1 has blue and purple, drawer 2 has red and pink, drawer 3 has green, yellow and orange and drawer 4 has neutrals. I have a plastic storage drawer that holds my white scraps and patterned paper scraps.

I just got this basket for Christmas and it is in a cubbie on my Expedite bookshelf. It holds my DCWV kids stacks (baby boy, baby girl, Nana's Kids etc.).

I will be getting more of these baskets and moving my stacks over to the bookshelf. This will give me more room for my regular cardstock.
I hope this answers any questions.

Thanks for stopping by.

My Craft Room

2012-01-16T22:12:00.001-05:00

My daughter bought me an Expedite bookcase from Ikea for Christmas. We just went last week and picked it up and my husband put it together on Saturday. So I spent Saturday evening and Sunday reorganizing my craft room. I am very fortunate to have the entire family room in our basement as my craft room. It is a really large room but I have lots of mismatched pieces so it can look kind of disorganized. My daughter who moved back home last year also has her craft things in the room for now. With the addition of the new bookcase it has helped the room look a little less cluttered. My daughter also bought me some really nice purple baskets for Christmas. I just need to pick up a few more of these baskets.

My husband is working on building me a new desk with storage on both sides. It will be about 4' x 6' which will give me plenty of room to spread out when I am creating.

Thanks for stopping by.

Throwback Thursday Challenge~Sports Cartridge

2012-01-15T18:14:00.000-05:00

This is the first Throwback Thursday Challenge of 2012 and the theme is to use any sports themed cartridge. I chose to use the Sportsmania cartridge for my layout. My husband and I went to see my Niece play soccer last summer and my husband took lots of pictures with his new camera. So I thought this would be a good opportunity to make a layout for some of the photo's. He got some really good photo's of her in mid air and about to kick the ball.

Supplies:
Paper: White, Black (Recollections), Old Olive, Real Red (SU), The Guy Stack (DCWV)
Ink: White Gelly Roll Pen
Cartridge: Sportsmania

Make sure to stop by Emma's blog and link up your project using a sports themed cartridge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Valentines Day Banner

2012-01-04T20:23:00.001-05:00

I have spent my free time recently working on this Valentine's Day banner. It was quite time consuming but well worth it. I used the Sugar & Spice Lite cartridge for the banner cut at 5.5". The rosettes were 1.5 x 12 strips scored at every 1/4". The letters are cut at 2" using the American Alphabet Font 3 (love it) that is preloaded on the E2, the hearts are cut at 2" from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge and the chocolate covered strawberry and candy are cut at 2" from the Sweet Shop Lite cartridge. The patterened paper is an old K & Co stack. The lacy circle underneath the rosette is cut using a Spellbinder die.

I bought my daughter a BowDabara for Christmas and tried it out to make the tulle bows. I worked really well and was easy to use. I think I will have to buy one for myself.

Thanks for stopping by.

This and That

2012-01-03T22:35:00.000-05:00

Stamps: My Pink Stamper
Cartridge: Simply Charmed
Seeing Spots Embossing folder
Paper: DCWV & SU

This is a day planner that I bought for 75 cents and dressed up a bit with some SU paper Large Oval and Large Scalloped Oval Spellbinders and My Creative Time stamp from the Keepin It Classy set.

I used my new Yummy Imagine cartridge to make this card for my Step-Mom's birthday. The Imagine makes it so quick and easy. I love the saying Not old... Vintage. lol

Happy New Year!

2012-01-01T22:41:00.001-05:00

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and good health and happiness in 2012!

This is a card I made for my Nieces 13th birthday. I used a new cartridge that I picked up with a gift card that I received for Christmas, All Sports. My Niece is very athletic and plays hockey so this was perfect. The patterned paper is from DCWV~The Guy Stack.

The face is from the PKS~Princess Face Assortment.

I am starting to work on some Valentines projects and I am hoping to sell some of my work.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

2011-12-27T19:16:00.000-05:00

Here's hoping that you all had a great Christmas. My family was very good to me and knows my love of all things crafty. Here are a few pictures of some crafts I made for family and friends recently. I made glitter ornaments for the kids last Christmas and they were a big hit so this year I made them for the adults, the girls at the bank and a new addition to my daughters best friends family.

I then put them in a paper bag with an M & M stick with a tag sticking out. I was running out of time or I would have decorated the bag. Working 2 jobs made things a little rushed.

For my Nieces and Nephew I bought Christmas mugs and added hot chocolate, mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips. In the sticks are Skittles and Reeces Pieces.

Here are some pictures of my gifts. My daughter is taking me to Ikea to get an Expedite shelf next week so she got me some purple baskets. I got the Cricut E2 Anniversary Edition which came with 4 cartridges loaded on it. For cartridges I received Kate's Kitchen, Best Friends, Better Together, Blossom, Bubblegum, Yummy and Country Carnival all for the Imagine, Art Philosophy, Go Canada and All Sports. I also got copics, Perfect Pearls, Liquid Pearls, Stickles, Tim Holtz Ink and Blending tool, DCWV Baby Girl stack, My Creative Time Lollipop die, circle and scalloped circle die, Classy and Fabulous Stamp bundle and the Valentine's bundle. So much fun stuff to play with.

Wishing you all good health and happiness in the coming new year.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such encouraging comments throughout the year and I hope you continue to come back and visit.

Word Collage Christmas Gifts

2011-11-26T22:34:00.002-05:00

Ever since I bought the Word Collage cartridge I have wanted to do some home decor with it. I picked up some 12 x12 frames at Michael's and laid out my first project on my Gypsy. The Wine word collage is long so to fill up the frame I used Lyrical Letters for the word Wine along the side and some ribbon. I was time consuming weeding the excess vinyl and making sure all the letters stayed in place. I then used Transfer Tape to line it up on a 12 x12 piece of scrapbook paper.

Supplies:
Paper: Christmas(Anna Griffin)
Vinyl: Black (Cricut)
Cartridges: Word Collage, Lyrical Letters
Embellishments: Ribbon (Celebrate It)

For my next ones I decided to use my Imagine and print it on the paper. I used the fit to page feature, filled the image with brown and used the print only option. Done in 5 minutes. Both of these are also from Word Collage and Stampin Up paper. I will definitely be making more of these this way.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by.
I am going to link this up to the Made it Myself Monday over at You Had Me At Craft.

Sophisticated Birthday Card

2011-11-15T01:30:00.001-05:00

I designed it on my gypsy and coloured it in using the Imagine Heirloom cartridge. It was a little bit bigger than I wanted but I still think that it turned out nice putting it on and angle on the 5x5 card.

Paper: Brown, White (Recollections), Spice Cake DSP(SU)

Cricut Imagine Tags and RGB Codes

2011-10-16T09:00:00.001-04:00

The other day I saw a video at My Pink Stamper showing tags that Robyn made from the colours and patterns on the Imagine cartridges. The very first project I did when I got my Imagine was using the Stampin Up RGB codes (google it there are lots of blogs with lists of RGB codes). I used 2 1/2" squares from the stock shapes and using the RGB codes I created all of the Stampin Up colours. If you don't know how use the RGB codes. There is a square that is multi-coloured between you stock colours and the cartridge patterns. Click on it and the colour wheel will appear and if you move the pointer around on the colour wheel you will see the numbers to the left changing. RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue. Adjust the numbers to make the colour you want according to your RGB Code and Apply. I wrote the name of the colour on the front of the tag and on the back I wrote the RGB code

A while back I saw a video on Youtube showing these tags showing the Imagine colours and patterns. I really like that I can see all of the patterns and colours side by side. It hooks perfectly inside the case. Check out the video here .

Throwback Thursday Challenge~Green,Orange,Purple,Black~Cricutless

2011-09-04T23:12:00.000-04:00

This weeks challenge at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ is a cricutless challenge using the colours green, orange, purple and black. I have been wanting to try making a rosette for awhile now and finally did it. I used 2 2" x12" strips of K & Co paper from a Halloween stack from last year. I scored both pieces at every 1/4" and then using tacky tape I attached the pieces together at both ends to make a circle shape. I pushed it tight together, added hot glue to the center and attached a round piece of cardstock to keep it together. I also added a piece of cardstock to the back to make it secure and easy for attaching to my card.

The stamp that I used is from Peachy Keen Stamps Halloween Sweet Folks, the sentiment is from the same set . I coloured it used a couple of different copics and cut it out using the Creative Memories Circle Cutting System.
Thanks for stopping by.

Word Collage

2011-08-19T00:32:00.001-04:00

I wanted to try out the Word Collage Project cartridge tonight, so I decided to use the Sugar & Spice collage. I used DCWV Baby Girl paper stack and the background paper is SU not sure of the colour off hand.
Well it was certainly time consuming glue everything down. What I did was when I had finished cutting it out and weeding the extra paper, I left all of the letters on the Cricut mat. This was cut using Fit To Page, which was 11". I then laid the scrap paper that I had removed from the mat on top of my background paper as a template. I then took each letter and added my adhesive and placed it back into the spot where it had come from. This made sure that everything was in the right place and was evenly spaced and straight. I think it turned out pretty good but would definitely be so much easier with vinyl. Just for a little embellishment I added two cuts from the Nursery Tails Imagine cartridge in the corners. I will probably put this in a frame.

Have you got this cartridge? What have you made with it?

Thanks for stopping by.

Purple Funtastick Creations Guest Designer

2011-08-09T07:00:00.003-04:00

I am so excited to be a guest designer today for Kari over a http://purplefuntastickcreations.blogspot.com/ . Thank you Kari! The theme's that I was given to chose from were Back to School or End of Summer. As my daughter is 28yrs old, I chose End of Summer and I did a layout of a Road Trip my daughter and I took last weekend.

My daughter Amanda and I went to my Dad and Step-Mom's for the weekend. They live in Windsor, Ontario which is across the border from Detroit, MI so we had to cross the border and do a little bit of shopping. We had a great relaxing weekend and picked up some great deals.

For my layout I used the Summer Vacation Solutions Cartridge and my gypsy. I welded together 3 copies of the road and laid it out on a 12 x 24 mat using 2 12 x 12 pieces of black SU cardstock so that it would layout on the two pages and split perfectly down the middle. I also laid out where I wanted the city names to go on the same gypsy layout. The car and Road Trip are also from the same cartridge and the paper is from SU. The mats are cut from the Martha Stewart Travel paper pack.

For the journal mat I used a stamp from the My Journaling stamp set by http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ stamped with Tuxedo Black ink by Momento and cut out using the small classic oval die from Spellbinders as well as the small classic scalloped oval die.

To add a bit of embellishment I used my glitter pen on the city names and my white gelly roll pen for some doodling.

I hope that you enjoyed my post and make sure to stop by http://purplefuntastickcreations.blogspot.com/ and give Kari some love.

Shopping in Michigan

2011-08-02T20:20:00.000-04:00

My daughter Amanda and I went to my Dad and Step-Mom's in Windsor, Ontario this past weekend. Windsor is right across the border from Detroit, Michigan so of course we had to go and do some shopping. Our first stop was Joanne's Fabrics. I was looking for the new Teresa Collins Sophisticated Cricut cartridge and the Word Collage and Fancy Frames cartridges. I found Cricut cartridge displays in 3 different places in the store but not what I was looking for but as I had ran into this before I checked the locked cage where they keep the actual cartridges and there they all were. Sophisticated cartridge $29.99 and the two project cartridges were $19.99 each. Great deals! I was also able to get a set of scalloped rectangle Spellbinders for $15.00, the DCWV Guy Stack and Lemon Flower Stack, 12 x 12 Chipboard, Brown Memento ink, Zots and Scotch quick dry glue.

The next craft store stop was Michael's. Unfortunately I forgot to print out coupons for Michael's so I only picked up 3 packages of Recollections paper that was on sale for 3 for $10 and some E-6000 glue.

I was so happy that I was able to get the cartridges that I was looking for and I can't wait to use them. I just loaded them on my Gypsy. Now to let the creativity flow.

Thanks for stopping by.

Imagine Nursery Tails

2011-07-21T21:11:00.000-04:00

I just received the Imagine Nursery Tails cartridge in the mail along with the Heirloom cartridge. I was so excited to use this new cartridge. The images are adorable. I cut the onesie and the layers for it out at 4" and the "It's a Boy" at 1.5". The butterfly is from my stash.

I used glue dots to add a little bit of dimension to each layer. I used pop dots on the onesie, the skunk and the tag.

The card base and the designer paper are Certainly Celery by Stampin Up.

Thanks for stopping by.

The requirements are as follows:

*You will need to have a blog that you regularly post on for at least 3 months.

*Post a pic on your blog with a full recipe along with what the challenge is about

*This needs to be a new project that you make just for this challenge

My Pink Stamper was the blog that first introduced me to the Cricut just over 2 years ago. I loved (and still do) watching all of Robyn's video's and the awesome projects that she made. Within a month of finding My Pink Stamper my husband bought me my first Cricut Expression on our honeymoon in Niagara Falls. Well 2yrs later my husband bought me a Cricut Imagine for our anniversary. When the Imagine first came out I didn't thing I wanted one but a couple of months ago I saw a project once again made by Robyn using the Teresa Collins Baby Boutique cartridge and I was in love. So thanks to Robyn and my hubby I now have 2 cricuts and over 80 cartridges. Don't tell the hubby how many cartridges!
I have not been on a design team before and would love to a part of Robyn's team and to share my love of all things MPS and Cricut.

Now onto my entry. I chose to make a double page scrapbook layout for a Birthday. I love the colour combination that Robyn chose.

Pinkalicious Birthday Blog Hop

2011-07-09T07:00:00.063-04:00

Welcome to the Pinkalicious Birthday Blog Hop in celebration of Melissa's birthday. If you just happened upon my blog Melissa's blog is where you should start http://www.adventuresinheels.com/. If you came from http://www.nadiasbeautifulmess.blogspot.com/ then your in the right place. The theme of this blog hop is to use Melissa's fave colour pink and black & white.

My project is a bulletin board that I made for my daughter, pink is her colour (I'm partial to purple myself). I recycled an old calendar frame for the bulletin board. First it was spray painted pink.

The next step was to cut a piece of cork to fit the inside of the frame and cover it with material. Isn't this material adorable? It is covered with shoes and boots. The material was cut with about 2" extra on each side and then stapled to the cork.

The cork was then hot glued to the frame and ribbon was hot glued around the edges to finish it off.

I then cut my daughters name from Lyrical Letters and a couple of flourishes from Home Decor using black vinyl. I added push pins in the corners and a little bit of bling on the frame.

Here is the list of participating blogs in case you get lost.

Father's Day and Anniversary Cards.

2011-06-23T22:39:00.000-04:00

This is the Father's Day card I made for my Step-Father. I used the Father's Day cartridge and all of the paper used is Stampin Up.

My husband and I celebrated our 2nd Wedding Anniversary on June 20th. My DH bought me an Imagine for my anniversary gift, so I have been playing around with it when I can. I had bought my DH a new camera lens for his Birthday/Anniversary gift so when I saw this frame on the Imagine I knew I had to make something for him with it. I cut it out before I even knew what I was going to do with it. Once I had cut it out I thought it would be good with a wedding picture in it. The stamp on the outside is from Scrappy Mom's Everyday Greetings and the stamp on the inside of the card is from My Creative Times, Turn that Frown Upside Down.

Thanks for stopping by.

Throwback Thursday Challenge~Lite Cartridge

2011-06-14T21:24:00.000-04:00

This weeks Throwback Thursday challenge at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ is to use any Lite cartridge. I chose to use the ballet shoes from the Twinkle Toes cartridge, it is an adorable cartridge. As I just got my Imagine I had to use that too. I cut and printed the frame from the Imagine More cartridge and I also used the Imagine to cut and print the ballet shoes. I ran the purple frame through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder. The card base and the mat are both Certainly Celery from SU. I also used my Sakura glitter pen around the frames. The stamp is from Pink-licious by My Pink Stamper.

Thanks for stopping by.

I got an Imagine!

2011-06-13T21:09:00.001-04:00

When Provo Craft first announced the Imagine, I thought "this is awesome". I watched video's and looked at projects and then thought "no, this isn't for me". I was really convinced until just recently that I didn't want one and I was excited to see what the E2 had to offer. I loved the E2 and still do but then the Theresa Collins cartridges were released and all of a sudden I fell in love.

I was looking on Ebay last week looking for the Playtime cartridge and came across a Canadian seller with an Imagine and it was at $199 with 24 hrs to go. I told my husband and he said that would make a great anniversary gift (our 2nd anniversary is June 20th). He went online right away and placed a bid and I started watching video's on YouTube to learn whatever I could. The next day when it came down to the end he got it for $225 with only $19 for shipping. It was shipped immediately and it was here the following day while I was working a 12 hour day. I couldn't wait to get home to check it out. Everything went smoothly with the updates and syncs for the Imagine and the Gypsy. There are still some updates that I would like to see on the Gypsy to improve what can be done with the imagine but I am sure they will come.

This is the first card that I made. I needed a card for my Step-Dad who just had surgery for an Aneurysm in his stomach. He got home today and is doing well.

For this card I printed out a rectangle and filled it with the music note paper from the Imagine More cartridge. Next. also from that cartridge (the only cartridge I have so far) I chose the shape and chose it as layer because I didn't want the word that printed on it, I wanted to be able to stamp my own sentiment. It turned out better than I hoped.

Supplies:
Paper: White (Recollections), Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery & Marina Mist (SU)
Stamps: Everyday Greetings (Scrappy Mom's)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Momento)
Cartridges: Imagine More

Custom Crops and Michael's Hauls

2011-05-30T23:15:00.000-04:00

The first photo is my most recent order from Custom Crops. It consists of the new Father's Day Limited Edition cricut cartridge. I love the recliner cut on this cartridge. Next is the Classic scalloped ovals large. I have been looking for the large scalloped ovals for awhile. I already have the small set. The final item is my new favourite thing, Stardust Gelly Roll glitter pens. They are awesome.

The second photo is my Michael's purchase. I bought the dress form which is also one of my favourite things lately. I have bought a couple of dress form stamps. I am going to paint it purple. I picked up the purple 12 x 12 tote for my scrapbook layouts and 2 other 12 x 12 boxes for storage. I asked my husband for an Expedite shelf from Ikea for our anniversary next month, so these are some things for decorating it. I am also in a Canada blog hop on July 1st, and I picked up a few things for my project.

I then cut it out with the small classic oval spellbinder and matted it using the small scalloped oval spellbinder with co-ordinating melon mambo paper. The sentiment came with the dress form stamp and that was also cut using a label spellbinder.

My First Digital Stamp

2011-04-18T20:28:00.000-04:00

This iss my first time using a digital stamp. I downloaded a few but they had a logo beside it that I couldn't remove and I am not very good at cutting out images neatly. This image though I found at http://www.kldezign.blogspot.com/. She has some really nice free images. I thought the bunnies were adorable.

Card Rack

2011-03-31T15:26:00.000-04:00

I am getting a few people asking where I got the card rack. I live in Canada and got it at HomeSense which is owned by the same people as Marshall's and TJ Maxx. So you could possibly find it there in the US. If you go to Google and search card racks you can also find sites that sell them. I would really like a floor model.

My New Craft Room

2011-03-29T20:34:00.000-04:00

I am finally somewhat organized in my new craft room. I moved from a bedroom in the basement to take over the whole family room in the basement.

This is my paper storage. The left side is 8 1/2" x 11" cs, the right side is 12 x 12 cs, the drawers inbetween hold my scraps and my stacks are on top. The white drawers hold my cutting systems (CM), heat gun, label maker and punches on the side.

This the things I want close by when working. This is beside my chair.

My work area with a good view of the TV.

My stamps are in the white cupboard. In the hutch I keep all of my things to be altered. Frames, tiles, notebooks, etc. In the cabinet under the TV is my cricut cartridges.

My cricut and cuttlebug station.

My work table.

Cricut Everyday Cartridge

2011-03-23T23:35:00.002-04:00

I am not a Cricut Circle member but I bought this cartridge from someone who didn't want this cartridge. Anytime Provo Craft did a survey I would ask for a cartridge with craft things on it. They finally did that and it was a Circle exclusive. I was so upset so when Erin Lee asked on FB if anyone wanted to buy it I jumped on it. This cartridge goes perfectly with Emma's stamps, Paper Princess. I am thinking that I will cut some things from this cartridge with vinyl and decorate my craft room, laptop and cricut.

For the sentiment I used the Spellbinders Ribbon Tags.

Thanks for stopping by.

Vinyl Wall Decor

2011-03-20T14:32:00.001-04:00

Sorry I haven't posted much lately, I am moving my craft room. I was in a 14 x 16 bedroom in the basement ( I know I am very lucky to have that area). I am now taking over the family room which is probably about 14 x 20. I am trying to get it all organized and I have things everywhere right now. I did this project in the middle of all the chaos. Everything will be in place soon and I am looking forward to crafting.

I have been wanting to do some vinyl wall decor for my bathroom for awhile now but I wasn't sure what to do. I searched some websites that sell vinyl lettering for some ideas and this is what I came up with. I used my gypsy to lay everything out. I used a 12 x 24 mat which was the perfect size for the area I had. I wanted something wide because the window is centered but the toilet isn't so smaller pictures that I tried to put there didn't look right.

Thanks for stopping by.

So Cute

2011-02-27T19:01:00.001-05:00

These are a couple of cards that I had made and not posted as well as one the I received from a fellow blogger. Carri over at http://doubleclickconnections.blogspot.com/ and I share a birthday and we exchanged cards.

This first card I have wanted to make this owl cut for some time it is adorable. For the rectangle and the scalloped rectangle I used the Slumber Party Lite cartridge and I used double sided paper so it co-ordinated perfectly. All the paper except for the white and kraft cs are Martha Stewart. I used the Classic Oval Large spellbinders and Stampin Up stamp.

This is the card that I sent to Carri. All the paper is SU and I used a SU heart border punch and stamp. The cuttlebug folder is Paisley and the cut is from Hello Kitty

This is the adorable card that I received from Carri. Isn't this bird so cute? Thanks Carri!!

All Canadian followers make sure you come back on Tuesday for the BIG giveaway.

Haul Photo's and a Giveaway

2011-02-20T20:12:00.004-05:00

Yesterday my daughter, my Mom and I took a trip across the border shopping. We live in Ontario, Canada and we went to Niagara Falls and Amherst NY. We left at 8am and arrived at the border about 9:45am, we usually don't hit too much traffic but maybe because it was a long weekend there was an hour and a half wait. Which cut into our shopping time. Our first stop was Joann's where I picked up 5 DCWV stacks a stamp set and a EK Success punch. They did not have the new Joann's exclusive cartridges. We then went to the Fashion Outlet Mall. My Mom & I love Kirklands, I got a couple of pictures there. We then went to Amherst, Michael's was the first stop there after a very yummy lunch at TGI Friday's. At Michael's I just got a scrapbook some pens for doing stitching and a couple of packs of Recollections paper.

The next stop was Buffalo Stamps & Stuff (LSS) but they were just closing when we got there so we just had a quick look around but didn't get anything.

Then we were off to another Joann's, this one did have the exclusive cartridges but only one of each so sorry to anyone who live near there I bought the Kate's ABC and Baby Steps cartridges which were both on sale for $34.99. They also had Spellbinders on sale for 40% off so I got the Fancy Tags, Ribbon Tag Trio Two, Classic Ovals Small and the Classic Scalloped Ovals Small. I also got a 1" circle punch and two more DCWV stacks. I was so happy with all of my Joann's purchases that we didn't even bother going to AC Moore which is usually a first stop. We then did Target, Walmart and Kohls. At Walmart I got Lacy Labels, we don't have it at our Walmart in Canada and I got a couple of boxes of envelopes.

We started our trip home about 9pm and had another long wait at the border. We got home about midnight. It was a long day but we had a great time and I am so happy with my deals. I can't wait to play with them.

In honor of my birthday which was on Wednesday and reaching 300 followers which also happened on Wednesday I am having a giveaway. I want to thank all of you that stopped by and wished me Happy Birthday, I really appreciate it. All of your wonderful comments mean so much to me.

To qualify for the giveaway as it is in honor of my followers you must be a follower and you must leave a comment on this post with a way to get in touch with you if you win. I am giving away Medium Critter Faces. Aren't they adorable.

Also I will be having a BIG announcement for all my Canadian followers on March 1st. So be sure to stop by then.
I will draw the winner on Thursday morning, February 24th.

**DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A WAY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU**

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the haul photo's like I do.

Anyway I wanted to mention that I share this day and a name (just spelled different) with a fellow crafter Carri over at http://doubleclickconnections.blogspot.com/ . Carri sent me the most adorable card and some cute embellishments. I wanted to take a picture but my batteries are dead in my camera. I will get one posted this weekend. Also this weekend I am going shopping across the border in Niagara Fall with my daughter and my Mom, so there will be haul photos posted this weekend. So be sure to stop by on Sunday. I will also have a giveaway on Sunday as I reached 300 followers today.

Using My New Cartridges

2011-01-16T20:01:00.001-05:00

For Christmas I received the Hello Kitty Font and Create A Critter, Twinkle Toes, and Jolly Holidays cartridges and after Christmas I ordered Simply Charmed, Hello Kitty Greetings, Gingerbread Solutions and Sportsmania.

I finally had some time this week to play with some of them. I needed to make a birthday card for my Step-Daughters 26th birthday. I used the HK Font cart, my new Gypsy and a MS corner punch that I got from my daughter. Icicle stickles gave it a bit of sparkle.

I love this green and purple paper from Recollections. The adorable skunk was cut at 3" from CAC. I printed the sentiment using the Kristen font at 18pt.

I just ordered some 3 x 3 envelopes from SU so I thought I would make a card that size. It is smaller than I thought, but it is really cute to go along with a gift. The cake is cut at 2.53" using the gypsy from Simply Charmed. So adorable.

I am really loving my gypsy and these new cartridges are just so cute.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sponges

2011-01-14T08:14:00.001-05:00

This tab was cut at 2" from the From My Kitchen cartridge. I am using it to label my sponges with the colour that I used it for. I wrote the ink colour on the label, scored and folded the label in half and stapled it to the sponge.

My husband bought me an organizer used for nails and screws for Christmas. I am using it for my embellishments. I have my sponges in the little drawers by colour family. I have drawers with my different googly eyes (coloured, with lashes), bells and bling.

Recycle Reuse

2011-01-13T20:46:00.000-05:00

Do you know what this pile is?

Here is another look. Any guesses?

Well if you didn't guess it is the plastic packaging from the cricut cartridges. I have been saving them and they have been piling up. Today I decided to trim off the edges so they are easier to store. What do you do with yours? Do you keep them and use them?

I have cut them using my cricut (regular blade at 6, max, max). Here is a fish bowl that I cut. http://mommakcrafts.blogspot.com/2010/10/throwback-thursday-challenge-edpd.html I also use them for windows in boxes. Let us know what you use yours for.

Throwback Thursday "Viewers Choice" ~Challenge

2011-01-06T19:35:00.001-05:00

I am so happy that Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge is back. I work better with a bit of inspiration. This weeks challenge is to use the older cartridge of your choice but you must use a heart on your project.

My New Years Resolution is to do more scrapbook pages and my wedding album is my first priority. This is the first page of my album which is an 8" x 8" size. I used my new Gypsy to layout everything, including being able to perfectly set up my photo to be cut in the heart shape and also my new printer for the date.

Supplies:
Paper: Crumb Cake cs (SU), Perfect Plum DSP (SU)
Ink: White Jelly Roll pen, Black pen (Marvy)
Cartridges: Wedding Solutions (Double Heart and "I Do"), Twinkle Toes (Frame)

Catching up

I have been trying out some of my new Christmas gifts. I Cut this door hanger from Tags, Bags, boxes and More and the nail polish and "fashion queen" are from Forever Young. Then I used my new laminator and laminated it.

This is my first project with my new Gypsy. The background shape is from "Just Because" Cards and the wine bottle and glass are from the "Summer In Paris" Solutions cartridge.

This card I made one in Elegant Eggplant and one in Brilliant Blue for my Mom and my Aunt for their 65th Birthday on Christmas Eve. The shape is from Home Accents and the stamp is from Everyday Greetings by Scrappy Moms.

Amazing Christmas Gifts

2010-12-27T17:36:00.002-05:00

I hope you all had a great Christmas and that Santa was good to you. I can't wait to see what everyone creates with their new supplies. I was so spoiled this Christmas by all of my family. I am so excited to play with my new Gypsy and cartridges, that my DH gave me. Don't you just love the card rack my DD got me. We were out shopping together when we found it and they only had two so we bought each other one. Also on Boxing Day we did our Christmas with my Step-daughter and I got a printer. I also went out shopping on Boxing Day and whenever I go into Wal-Mart I go straight to the craft section and the first thing I saw was the Jolly Holidays cartridge that I have been drooling over, so I grabbed it. We went to Michael's and I got a few Jet Max cubes to try and organize my craft room. I am back to work tomorrow but as soon as I get it reorganized I will post photos.

**Just to let you know the card rack/display stand is from Home Sense in Canada, it is a division of Marshall's and TJ Maxx.**

Have a Happy New Year!

Stylish Blogger Award

2010-12-20T23:51:00.000-05:00

I have received a Stylish Blogger Award from 2 amazing bloggers. I just can't believe that people really like my creations. When I first started scrap booking about 10 years ago it was so overwhelming for me. My daughter could just whip a page and it looked beautiful. Ever since I got my cricut last year and started stamping the creativity has just started to flow. I spend all my spare time crafting now and it is a wonderful hobby for my daughter and I too share.

I would like to thank the Craftsmanda at http://athomeink.blogspot.com/ . You must check out her beautiful scrapbook pages that she made for a friends baby.

Christmas Cards

2010-12-14T20:35:00.000-05:00

I finally got my Christmas cards done and mailed out. I did basically the same layout for all, just different stamps. I can't believe I didn't even use my cricut. All the stamps are Stampin Up.
