I can't believe I haven't updated since April. I am now making it one of my goals to update at least once a week.We are settled in in New York now. I am so happy to have the move over with. A lot of the summer has been spent unpacking, getting settled in and exploring New York. We have seen a Mets game, a Broadway show, Times Square, the museum of Natural History and gone to the top of the

I am in love with Stampin' Up! stampin' scrub! No really, I can't think of a better tool for a stamper. When you are stamping, spray one side with Stampin' Mist and leave the other side dry. When you are ready to clean your stamp, just scrub it on the wet side to wash the ink off, then scrub the stamp a bit on the other side to dry it. Voila, you are ready to put the stamp away or go ahead

We were visited by a frog!This is a simple LO I completed in March. The frog, Ribbit and the journal circle are done with Stampin'Up! Kiwi Kiss. I used the Cricut Markers (brown) for definition on the frog and Ribbit which are cut from Animal Kingdom. I really like that cartridge but don't use it often enough. I also put google eyes on the frog. The background paper is from my stash. The journal

I am a new Demonstrator for Stampin Up! I have been hemming and hawing over this since they had a great sale over last summer and I finally took the leap today. They are having another good sale and I could no longer resist.I signed up online and was so surprised then I got my Demo number right away. That meant I could sign on right away and start checking things out and look to my hearts content

A while back a wonderful Cricut MB member, Mandy Ferg, posted a link to a great website for color matching SU paper. You can choose the colors of SU cardstock you want and the search will pick other matching colors for you. Very helpful if you are color challenged like I am or just want a fast way to choose colors for your card or LO. I wanted to share it with others who may find it useful too

I did not do so well this month on my challenges. I really did not feel very scrappy so I didn't sit down and work as often as I should have. We are also getting our house ready to sell so that really has taken a lot of my time. That's ok though, I will make new challenges for March and work very hard on accomplishing them! =~)

This is a very simple card I made for Jim's cousin. I just loved the colors and the simplicity of it all. The image is one I got from a stamped image swap, colored with the MCPT (Magic Colored Pencil Technique). The 2 background papers are from DCWV mat stacks, and the flower is Prima. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up - Short and Sweet set.

I know it is a bit early for graduation season but I wanted to get a head start. This image was sent to me as part of a stamped image swap. I colored it with MCPT. These stamps are so simple and easy to color, it really takes just a couple of minutes to finish. I mounted the image with pop dots and used ribbon from my stash. It is hard to see, but there are 3 bows on the ribbon.

The sun (hard to see in this pic) is from Calligraphy Collection. I absolutely love this cart for all the extras it has on it. The font is Cuttin' Up, using the Cartoon feature.The background papers are just various ones from my stash.

Here is one of the LO's I completed for my January Personal Challenge. Although it is hard to see I used Stickles on the anchor, which is from Going Places. The letters are done with Cuttin' Up, which is becoming my new favorite font. The top and bottom borders are done with the SU Scalllop border punch and Stickles.

WooHoo!!! I am so excited...Earlier this month I wrote about my Personal Challenges for January. I am so happy to say I have completed all of them this month. It makes me feel so good to have challenged myself and have made my goals. I think making note of my challenges and having the support of other Cricut MB members was a great motivator to get them done. I plan on keeping the Personal

I am so excited...I finally finished our Disney album from our trip last January. I stopped my regular chronological scrapping to get this album done while the memories of the trip were fresh. I don't remember when I started working on it, but I am glad it is done. Now I can move back to the chrono scrapping. I am about an year and a half behind on that!!

On the Cricut MB is decided to bring back the Personal Challenge thread. It is a monthly thread where a MB member can post things they would like to accomplish for that month. Basically they are challenging themselves to get their projects done. The participants post their projects when they are completed and we all give each other a lot of encouragement. I am truly enjoying being a part of this

DH's aunt asked me to make some cards for her to give as gifts to her co-workers and others. Most are colored with the MCPT, others are just Cuttlebug embossing and Primas. There were so many I couldn't take individual pictures. Some of them I liked so much I hated to pass them on. LOL Now I have to work on my own stash of cards. One of my goals for 2009 is to send out cards more often and

Ok, so I know it isn't scrap-related but I have really enjoyed learning jewelry making. For some Christmas gifts I made wine glass charms. It was a good starting project for jewelry making. I made so many for others I forgot to make some for myself!! LOL I will have to add that to my project list.I apologize for the pictures...I have to get a better light for my scrap space.

Ugh, I can't believe how far I have let this get behind. The last thing I posted was Halloween. I need to update soon!!!I will post some of my Christmas gifts and cards as well as my before and after scrap space (I need to clean and organize better!) in the next few days.

I found this idea in Paper Crafts October 2008 magazine. I bought a plain shadow box from Michaels, painted it black, and lined the back with some CM paper from my stash. I cut 2 spiders from Doodlecharms. The stamp is from SU. This was so fast and easy to make. I am going to try to adapt the idea for Christmas.

I had cut an acron from Mickey and Friends. I was going to use it on a lay out but changed my mind. I didn't want ot waste it so I decided to go ahead and assemble it to use later. I keep a small accordion folder for this. I ran the top part through the Xyron but realized after that I had put itin upside-down. UGH!!!

I made these card candies for a swap I am in on the Cricut MB. I had to make 10 of each set. I love doing this because I get to see what other creations others come up with and I get to make things I normally wouldn't think of. The spider is made with Doodle charms and I used some bling for the eyes. The background is spiderwebs stamped on purple paper (Studio G stamp) and heat-embossed in

He sang a few of his songs, including Just Got Started Loving you, which I love.Then Trace adkins came out. Whew!! He sang several of his songs, including Muddy Water from his new album coming out.

I have just joined a personal challenge thread on the Cricut MB. I am hoping this will help me to stay on track. I have so many projects I want to do, I just do not know where to begin. I signed on for 3 things:1. Complete our Disney album from our trip this past January.2. Christmas cards done (I need about 50).3. Halloween cards done I have a lot of work ahead of me!!

I made these cards with elements from a Card Candy swap I am in on the Cricut Message Board. I apologize but I did not write down the names of the wonderful creators of these elements. I will make an effort to do that in the future since I want to give credit where due.

I just love this Changeitto stamp! I got the image from a stamped image swap and think it is so stinkin' cute! It was so fast and easy to color with the MCPT (Magic Colored Pencil Technique). The background paper is from a DCWV matstack. I like this stamp because it is universal. It could be for birthday, anniversary, thank you, just because, any number of occasions. And, of course, the

I made this for a card candy swap I am in on the Cricut MB. The stamp is Happy Hoppers. I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and blended with OMS. I just love this technique! I cut the scallops with Accent Essentials. The dots around the scallops are Stickles - Black Diamond. No project is complete without some bling, right?

We took the kids to the NC zoo yesterday. I swear it was the hottest day of the year. And that is one huge, very spread out zoo! A lot of walking. We saw it all though. The best part was seeing an elephant swimming. I have never in my life seen this before. We all enjoyed ourselves despite the heat and Katie discovered she likes Icees!

I am so excited!! I was notified that I won a prize from the Cards for Kids drawing. I didn't think much of it, just thought it would be something small. I think mine was 10th prize out of 11. My Father-in-Law brings a box to me from the mail that was huge! I had no idea what it could be until I saw CFK on the return address. It was so full of stickers and embellishments. I could not

This was a sign I made for DH's return home. I saw this saying on an avatar on the Cricut MB and thought it would be great to make into a sign for him. I was chatting with my friend Betty (Betty152 on the MB) and she suggested using the pair of boots to hold the sign. Thanks again Betty! He loved it! I used some sand colored cardstock that I had and cut the letters with Opposites Attract (the

After making 100 cards for St. Jude Cards for Kids, I needed to make some birthday cards for my stash. I wanted something very simple that I could put together quickly so I came up with this.Happy Birthday is cut from Paper Pups. The flower is from the Island Pastel Calypso Prima tin. The brad in the center is from Making Memories. I scored the top half of the cardstock diagonally with my

After a 13 1/2 month deployment my hubby is HOME!!!!! He came home on Sunday morning. Needless to say it was a very emotional day for my family. The girls are so excited that their daddy is home. Not to mention that all of the grandparents are visiting so that means even more fun for them! I will post a pic or 2 once things settle down around here. A couple more days I think.While you are

This is a Lay Out (LO) for a recipe swap that I did a few months ago. I cut the grass from Plantin schoolbook and used Stickles on the flowers. This was my first swap so I had a lot of fun planning it out and working on it.

This is a gift I made for my mom for Mother's day. I used some CM paper that I had on hand, the letters are cut with Plantin Schoolbook on my Cricut. The flowers are Primas. I found the frames at Michael's.

Just a couple more days and hubby will be home. I am frantically trying to get things ready and should be doing that instead of being on here but...this is more fun!Here areMellie and Katie in their masks. They got these as prizes from the library for reading 4 hours. Now they are working towards the 8 hour prize. I wonder what that will be... After Katie got her mask she kept damcing

We are in the process of getting ready for a very special day. Daddy's coming home!!!! YEA!!!! It has been a very long 13 1/2 months and we are ready for this deployment to be over with.My friend Betty from the Cricut MB gave me a wonderful idea for a sign to put up for him. I can't wait to get started on it. As soon as I have it finished I will post pics of it. Thank you so much Betty for the

I am trying this out and will take some time to get it the way I want it to look. I want to use this as a way to update family and friends and most importantly my wonderful hubby when he is deployed on what is happening in our lives.I also want to use it as an outlet for my crafting hobby. I have seen some other great crafting blogs and hope that this one can measure up.
