12 New Cards!

I made another 12 cards today using the 6 sketches and i made a cut guide to go with the, (which I just posted!)
I used "zippidee" CTMH papers. These cards i changed up a little from the sketches to get a different perspective of how a sketch can just be a guide and not the foundation!

CArds I made for CFS!

I made 12 cards today for CFS (cards for Soldiers)  an awesome group I've been in for several years, we make cards for soldiers to send home to loved ones while deployed!

I used Cherry-O creative basics paper pack and the SOTM (stamp of the month) for May only available til may 31st on my website directly thru me til June 4th.

The cardbases are random cardstock papers cut to size. There is some ribbon that is not CTMH. The red velvet ribbon comes in the pack above!

Random Act of Kindness out of spite of meaness

So i was slapped in the face and my feelings were hurt. Now i'm mad as all can be. But someone wise once said don't let other get you down. Its hard to overcome having your feelings hurt when all you were trying to do was share your creativity.  The Cricut Message Board that I've been an active member of since 2007 deleted my thread of my Mouse-o-bilia thread. They had no decency to even tell me why. Just deleted it. No hey could you please fix this or will need to delete the thread. No, just deleted it with no respect. I am pretty sure why but no longer will you find any of my inspiration or projects on there. I will no endorse a company who doesn't have the respect for its customers.While I LOVE my cricut and i will continue to use it and yes even buy selected cartridges. I've removed all my works from their message board except for those for CFS because i don't want the military to pay for whatever it is people don't like about me or my projects. You can keep knocking me down, reporting me as abusive, complain to whoever will listen and have my threads deleted my links blocked. Whatever! I will still win in the end and be left standing because that is who I am!

I told my husband and i can't repeat what his first comments were. But he said let it roll babe and do something that will make you happy.  So what makes me happy is scrapbooking and sharing my work.

So post what your favorite project that I've posted is and maybe a reason why. You'll be entered into a drawing to win a Floral Swirl Mesh in a color of your choice.


I will do a drawing for my Blog followers and another drawing for my Facebook followers beacuase they are mostly 2 different groups.

since Facebook supposedly doesn't allow contests or giveaways and in fear of being deleted there. FB fans you know how it works. :)

Book Of ME! Summer Project

So I was thinking what I was going to do this summer with my kids.  They are teenagers or almost. I was reading this little book i did in the 5th. It was so fun to read and I've read it several times over the past couple months and i jsut laugh and to remember life as it was in the 5th grade. So i was thinking how fun would it be to do something similar but more crafty with my kids.  We can even follow along too.  So i figure i can do weekly challenge or even a few extras each week. What do y'all think?

My Wedding Album

Since I just did a wedding album, I thought I'd share mine that i did several years ago. I think it was one of the first that i did with my cricut. I only had a couple cartridges then and just the baby bug too!

Yes, I know I need to change "the End" to Happily ever After or something to that affect, just keep forgetting!
