Greenville, SC Circle meetup!!!

2011-11-07T22:07:00.007-05:00

Here are a few pics of us at the Circle meetup in Greenville this past weekend. A fun time was had by all!! Cant wait to see you all again!

Teacup and stick pin swaps

2011-10-25T07:25:00.001-04:00

I really had a great time recently joining some stick pin swaps. One was a teacup pin cushion swap and one was a stick pin swap. I found this "teacup" at TJ Maxx. It originally was a paperclip holder I believe and thought it was Perfect!! I used some Christmas rubons for the ornaments on the cup and also added a metal tag to the front. I created the cushion from plain red fabric and batting and a styrofoam ball and glued it into the cup. Made the pins using 3 in flower pins and beads. SOme from Oriental trading and some I got from a bead sale at Michaels.

This is the one I made for the stick pin swap and didnt require a tea cup. I made a noteholder for the pins for this one. I ran foam through my zyron and cut to size and layered to hold the pins. I wrapped ribbon around the foam to cover the edges of the foam and glued in the note holder and used red ribbon to hold it closed.

Closed view of stick pin holder

This is a picture of the pin cushion I received back in my swap. I havent yet received the other swap back but will post that once I do (should be next week) I sent mine early as I had to mail a bunch of things so thought that would be ok.

Stick pins are soooo easy to make and alot of fun. I will definately be going more of these to add to some of my Christmas cards this year!!

Heat embossing challenge

2011-09-09T00:54:00.003-04:00

These projects were made for the papercraft weekend challenge blog. Technique Tuesday was all about heat embossing. I made 3 projects.

The Just a note card was made using a versamark on a flower border stamp then I filled in the leaves with a light green viva pen and the flower centers with a red viva pen. The embossing powder I used was pearl white. I used a Martha Stewart punch and Just a note Unity stamp.

The Love you card was made with an image printed and cut on my Cricut Imagine. I used a versamark pad on the entire surface and using clear embossing powder to make the whole surface glossy. Added a few Rhinestones, a ribbon and a couple prima flowers.

The last project is mini monogram tags for small gifts. I used my cuttlebug with the all in one monogram folder for the initials. Martha Stewart punches for the tags and gold embossing powder on the initials.

Stop over to the Papercraft weekend challenge blog to check out everyones projects.

Paper Craft Challenge

2011-09-08T19:33:00.000-04:00

Well...this is the first Christmas card of the season. I made this for a glitter challenge on the Paper craft weekend challenge blog and let me just say I am so dissapointed in how it turned out. But thats ok. I have lots of time to make more and get them right. lol The challenge was to use glitter on a project.

I love this stamp but can never seem to get it to look how I want it to and end up putting it back on the shelf so this year I am gonna keep trying until I have this image glittered the way I want it to look!!!

I stamped in black and then dotted a little color on the snowmens' hats and scarves. I colored the trees and then added glitter and micro glass beads to the trees to appear as ice patches once dry I added viva pearl pen and glitter on the trees and on the snowmens' path for piled on snow. This has given a very nice 3d feel to the card. It is really puffy and texturized. I cut black cardstock and red glitter cardstock frames around the scene (which I dont like how they turned out) and adhered to a white cardstock card. I cut the frames by hand and next time I will turn on my cricut to cut them as they are very uneven.

Stop by the Papercraft weekend challenge blog to see everyone elses glittered up projects!

2 Thinking of you cards

2011-09-02T11:30:00.001-04:00

I have finally gotten back into my craftroom after a couple months of not crafting. I made these for the Paper craft weekend challenge. If your not familar with it please stop by! This has been on facebook for a couple of months now and this weekend they have launched their new blog! They have a new challenge every Friday and Sunday and will be throwing in some other challenges and tutorials through the week.

Here is the link to their blog:

Birthday Card for Kai

2011-04-22T00:50:00.004-04:00

I tried some new things on this card, one was sewing the edges (I truely need practice) and I used an action wobble. LOVE THEM!! The bunny is so springy and wobbly I will definately be using them again. I used my cuttlebug on 2 of the mats, the happy birthday folder and the traffic folder. I used cricut cart Birthday bash for the bunny and gift he is holding, the birthday hat and also for the sentiment inside.

Campin Critters mini Album / guide book

2011-04-06T22:15:00.003-04:00

I made this for my parents, they are new to camping and I want to make them a guide book or to do list for the things they need to do when they go camping so they dont forget anything. I decided to make them a mini album using my Your Story binder and the Campin Critters cart. The inside pages are layered with white, brown and white again so that they can write on the front or the back and each page will be sturdy. They can make lists or add pics.

Masculine Birthday card

2011-04-05T20:10:00.005-04:00

This is the matching birthday card for the painters tray gift. I used the same papers (Bo Bunny Timepiece collection) in making this card. Very simple and perfect for a guy, not frilly and even though it has a bow on it there is not ribbon or glitter. The colors are also well suited for a more masculine card. I love the bicycle image on this!! I loosely based the card on a beautiful card I saw on Pickeled Paper designs blog. I absolutely adore her work and I noticed a masculine card she had posted a while back and thought it would fit well for what I was looking for, I didnt use all of the elements that the other card had as my paper had more pattern to it and I really wanted the pattern paper to stand out.

Royal Things: Using the Cricut Expression 2: Anniversary Edition and a GIVEAWAY

2011-04-05T11:32:00.002-04:00

Royal Things: Using the Cricut Expression 2: Anniversary Edition and a GIVEAWAY WOW, WOW, WOW is all I can say, Cindy has outdone herself with projects using the E2!!! Jump over and take a look!!! She is also giving away some GREAT prizes over there, ink for the Imagine and Lori's Garden Cart!!!

My first attempt with a Painters tray

2011-04-04T22:34:00.004-04:00

So this is a work in progress, I have never tried working with one of these before and I love all the pictures I have seen of others and thought I would give it a try. This is a birthday gift for my step father. I have used some very old pics of me, my son and my grandson. (lol, he isnt even one yet so I guess his pics arnt that old but they are some of the first taken, lol)

I used a 7 Gypsies white painters tray I purchased at Archivers when I was in Atlanta. I used crackle paint on the front to distress a bit (doesnt show well in photo) and rubbed distress inks on a few spots to distress even further. Being for a man I didnt want to use flowers and frills so have been truely at a loss as to how to "decorate" it. I am giving this to him this coming weekend so I have a few more days of looking at what I can add, I think it is missing some pizzaz. Any helpful comments would be greatly appreciated!!

Baby card

2011-03-23T00:04:00.003-04:00

I actually made this card back in Sept when I got my Imagine but never posted it. I love how easy it is making items when using the Imagine. Having the ability to match everything effortlessly is such a time saver!

Easter sign for our front door

2011-03-22T23:47:00.003-04:00

I made this quick and easy sign for our front door for Easter. I bought the sign at Hobby Lobby, the bunnies were already there so I just cut Hoppy Easter and the egg from vinyl and slapped on there and voila! Tomorrow I will take a pic of it hanging on the door.

Challange 5 from Circle board

2011-03-22T21:36:00.004-04:00

This is the fifth and final challange from our online swarm! The challange was to use a frame in some way on the project, I chose to make a framed gift box from the wild card cartridge. I cut it at 5 inches, it is a little smaller than expected however it is perfect for a chocolate square or two like Ghirardelli.

Circle challange 3 and 4

2011-03-20T20:43:00.004-04:00

Here is my entry for the third challenge on the circle boards this weekend. It is a note card holder and 8 matching monogramed notecards. Super easy and turned out pretty cute. Hope you like it!

Here is Circle challange 4 - It is a Thank you card. We were to use any type of wet medium on our project. I used wet embossing on the birds so they would stand out (didnt show up in pic) and I used my Viva pearl pen to accent the bird cages. Pic doesnt show the card well since I cant take a pic to save my life but it is relly pretty in real life.

Circle online swarm challange 2

2011-03-19T00:09:00.005-04:00

This is my entry for challange 2 on the Circle online swarm. This was a color combo challange. We had to use pink, purple, green and yellow. I made a spring card for this challange.

Circle online swarm challange

2011-03-18T20:16:00.004-04:00

We are having an online swarm on the circle boards for those of us not lucky enough to be in TX for the stampede. Here is my take on the first challange, I chose to do the layout sketch instead of the card sketch since I have only done about 3 layouts previous (I normally do cards). Im sure there is lots of room for improvement but I thought it didnt turn out half bad. I am really bad at taking pictures so there is quite a bit of glare.

Cricut Circle Montly Challenge

2011-02-06T21:30:00.005-05:00

I completed my entry for the Monthly challenge on the circle blog. This challenge was all about Banners. I used the Inspriation banner sentiment BE MINE for my banner and used my Imagine for most of it. I printed the pink paper for the pennents from Lori's Garden and also the medalion was printed from Lori's garden. The letters were cut from the Country Life cart on my Imagine. I made rosettes using tissue paper that surprisingly was a perfect match to the colors from the Loris Garden cart. This was the biggest challenge as I had never made rosettes before and didnt know what I was doing at all. I think I could have done better with a little more practice but they did turn out better than I had expected! I lightly glittered around the rosettes and used my pearl viva pen to make little pearls on the letters. I cuttlebug'd the pennents and sanded then to distress them a little and that really made them pop. The pictures are not doing this any justice it is really pretty and soft in person but I cant take a picture to save my life.

Valentine Card

2011-02-06T21:24:00.002-05:00

This is the second Valentine card I completed this weekend. I used a roller stamp for the background and stamped I Love you. I ct the heart's from my Cricut, I think I used Doodlecharms but I dont really remember which heart I cut.

Valentine 2011

2011-02-06T21:17:00.002-05:00

I was able to get 2 Valenentine cards completed this weekend and here is one of them. This was such a simple card. I used a roller stamp of hearts for the background and then stamped the little cups of hearts image, I used Tombow markers to color in the image and addes some stickles and a viva pearl pen. I placed a pink glitter frame around the image. The Kiss Kiss sentiment is from The Scrapmaster's Ultimate Sentiments stamp set.

Just Because

2011-02-06T21:02:00.003-05:00

I have been fairly busy crafting this weekend and this is one of the cards I completed. It is a just because card and I was insired by a card I saw in this months Cardmaker Mag. I thought it was so pretty I had to give it a shot. I made this with scraps from a banner project I am working on for the Circut Circle monthly Challenge. I printed the pink paper with my Imagine from the Loris Garden cart and also printed the pattern paper from one of the patterns on this cart. I stamped the tree (from Imaginisce) and used Sweet pea flower soft on the branches and leaves. The sentiment is from the Ultimate Sentiments line from The Scrapmaster.

Winter birthday card

2011-01-16T17:14:00.004-05:00

Here is a cute winter birthday card idea that I completely stole from the circle blog. It was really cute and I had the same paper so I thought I would give it a whirl. I used Echo Park paper and lots of glitter and snow. I used the Christmas card cat for the card shape and the snowman. Inside of card says... Happy BRRRday!

Birthday Card

2011-01-16T16:43:00.003-05:00

Here is a birthday card I made today for a weekend challenge on the cricut board. We were to use one of our first purchased carts. I used Blackletter for the frame and script paper. On this card I also used my cuttlebug, I used distressed stripes and swiss dots. I sanded the frame I used distressed stripes on to well distress it. lol On the brown circle I used swiss dots and used 2 shades of distress Inks to give it a suaded look. (looks great in person and worked well) I also used my Imagine on this one to print the script paper this was from Lori's Garden. On the center of the flower I used stickes on top of a brad and well it looks messy so I may go back in and correct that. The Happy Birthday tags were pre printed from an old paperpack I had laying around. Tied it up with a red ribbon on the side.

First Christmas layout for grandson

2010-11-21T20:54:00.003-05:00

I made this 2 page layout for a scrapbook i am making for my grandson. I cant wait to see the book once complete!!

Weekend project!

2010-11-21T20:50:00.002-05:00

I finally got around to making this stamp shelf. I have wanted to for a long time and just never got around to it. Once I decided to do it was really easy. I had started to use very small nails but my hubby took over and used his nail gun and it went quick then. Now all I have to do is paint it and put on the wall and fill up with my stamps.

Simple Christmas card

2010-11-11T01:40:00.003-05:00

Simple Christmas card made with scraps, stamped image and stickles.

A little different Onsie

2010-11-11T00:25:00.004-05:00

I made this for my grandson. Not your normal cutsie onsie but my son is a drummer in a heavy metal band and wanted me to make Kai a shirt. I used quickfuse material, my gypsy and my Imagine for this. I made the design on my Gypsy and put the quickfuse through the Imagine to print it bright red (the pic doesnt show the true red color, my lighting was bad when taking pic). Then put it through agian to cut the image using my Gypsy. I should have welded all the letters but some were to close together that way so the spacing is not exact. I cant say I really like it but my son will so that is what counts.

Quick Christmas card

2010-11-04T15:57:00.003-04:00

I used George and Winter woodland for this card. Now that all the update crisis is done with my Gypsies and Imagine I can get back to actually crafting I think, well I hope. My replacement Imagine should be here Monday. Anyhoo...

I used George for the rectangles and circles and red strip border, Winter Woodland for the snowflakes and the sentiment. I cut the large snowflake using three colors and layered and welded the small snowflakes to add to the border.

Think Pink circle challenge

2010-10-14T21:44:00.003-04:00

I made this entry for the Cricut Circle think pink challenge. I used my Imagine, and the Nursery Tales cart in layers. I used PK glitz glitter on my butterflies and stickles for 2 of the bodies and rhinestones for the larger butterfly body. I inked the edges with chestnut roan chalk ink and attempted faux stiching around the bottom layer (didnt like how it turned out).

Going Buggy: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS BLOG CANDY

WOOHOO, have you seen Enfys blog candy?!?!?! What a treat! Jump on over and take a look.

Sams' color Challenge

2010-10-11T21:51:00.002-04:00

I made this card for Sams' color challenge. I had to use the colors black, bashful blue, and pumpkin pie. I do not have Stampin up paper so I used the RGB codes with my Imagine to create the paper I used.

I hope the colors show well in the pics as I think they were pretty true.

AllisonF weekend challenge

2010-10-10T21:53:00.006-04:00

I completed my very first layout!! Obvious beginner but I did it. The other project competed for the challenge was to use embellishments, I used ribbon and paper flower with the vinyl I cut for my cuttletub.

Give a Hoot giveaway!!!

Birthday card and bag

2010-08-23T22:08:00.003-04:00

I made the card and the gift bag for a friends birthday. I used TBBM cart to make the bag, used my gypsy to enlarge the bag and took the handles off the page so they would not be cut and added ribbon for handles. I added self adhesive feathers around the rim of the bag. I used matching paper to make the card adding a few buttons to the circles (it is hard to see the buttons in the photo), I used my cuttlebug and c/b circle's folder for the blue strip and sanded it to bring out the white core in the cardstock. I used a paper crimper for the burnt orange strip and used an MS punch on the top and bottom edge and inked with Timber brown stazon ink. Added matching ribbon from bag for bow. Happy Birthday is a rub-on.

Coffee cup is one of the eco-friendly reusable cups from Walmart. I also made chocolate dipped strawberries. (not pictured)

Simple Sympathy card

2010-08-17T15:22:00.005-04:00

Here is a simple sympathy card I made last Friday for a new friend who lost her husband last month. I hope she finds peace and knows her Circle sisters will be there for her.

I used the French Manor cart on this card. The layered bird was cut using a beige glitter cardstock. I used Glossy accents on his wing and a black brad for his eye. The sentiment is a stamp I had and used Stazon on Timber brown ink. I used gold embossing freehand around the Flourish and tied a pink and brown ribbon around card. I add 3 little pink rhinestones on side.

Christmas Already!!!!!

2010-08-05T14:50:00.001-04:00

Cricut Circle Christmas ornament

2010-07-30T11:57:00.008-04:00

I put Christmas trees up in every room during the holiday and in my craft room this yr I will be using a Cricut theme. I got the idea of using filler material from Sassylady on the mb. I shrunk my certificate and adhered to the square glass ornament using my xyron. I filled it with filler paper from my circle box. (it needs a little more paperr in it) I think it is cute but will NEVER use the square ornaments like this again. The top hole is way to small.

I also filled the round ornaments with the filler material as well. I tried to etch on the ornaments but it would not take so I will be adding some vinyl on the outside and a little extra bling to the ornaments.

Trying something new, Windows live writer

2010-07-15T14:18:00.002-04:00

seeing if I like using this to add to my blog.

Sorry, wasnt posting this as project, lol was testing windows live writer.

I got the idea for these adorable topiaries from Greenbean. She has the cutest ideas ever!! Anyway this was one a made a couple months ago. I really love making these they are so wasy and have given several as gifts.

The pot is filled with bath salts or crystals and the "flower" is actually a bath sponge. super easy to make!!

Fathers Day Cards

2010-06-18T01:37:00.005-04:00

I had 4 to make this year, here are 2 of them. Sorry pics are a bit blurry.

Lil summer survival bucket

2010-06-03T20:54:00.002-04:00

I put this cute lil summer survival bucket for my sons girlfriend. I got a cute little orange bucket from Target dollar spot and filled it with some summer essentials. There is a pedicure set, a manicure set, nail polish, lip gloss, body spray, body wash, lotion and a bath scrunchie. I also got a matching water bottle. Everything is Pink and Orange and is so bright and summery. Perfect for getting ready for a day by the pool.

Birthday Card

2010-06-03T20:40:00.004-04:00

I made this for my son's dear girlfriend (basically daughter in law). I hope she enjoys it.

I used housemouse stamp and used prismacolor pencils to watercolor the image. I then used clear embossing powder over the entire image to make it shine. I used Mickey mouse cuttlebug border folder around the outside of image and also on the inside of card. I then added stickles to the outside of image and also inside the ribbon border.

I am a Mimi!!!!

2010-04-29T22:07:00.005-04:00

I am soooooo excited, I am a new grandma!!! 4/24/10, 7.9 lbs, 19.5 in. and so perfect.

Wood and vinyl signs

2010-03-31T01:45:00.005-04:00

I made these for us and some of our friends to hang at our campers at the campground we keep our campers at. I used blank wood signs from Hobby lobby and cut the vinyl with my cricut using various carts.

paper purse and card

2010-03-31T01:41:00.003-04:00

I made this for my mom. I cut the purse with my cricut using TBBM and made the card to match using the flap of the purse and using my cuttlebug to add the thinking of you. Turned out really cute.

Birthday card for friend

2010-03-31T01:37:00.002-04:00

I havent posted for a while but have been crafting. I made this card a couple weeks ago for a friends birthday. Simple but cute, love the lil monkey.

Baby Frame

2010-03-11T22:39:00.004-05:00

I made this frame for my "on the way" grandson. lol. His pic will go in the middle once he's here!! The colors are much nicer in person, I guess the glass reflected the colors badly. It is a 12x12 shadow box and has a journal tag inside to write his weight, length and time of birth on. I am considering etching his initials on the front of the glass in the center, still unsure if that will make it to busy.

Birthday Card

2010-03-11T22:36:00.002-05:00

Here is a cute little birthday card I made for a co-worker. I used watercolors to coler her in and my cuttlebug on the mat.

I GOT A GYPSY!!!!!!!!

2010-02-20T15:09:00.002-05:00

I am so excited. I was finally able to get a gypsy. I have had a couple hundred bucks set aside for months now waiting for the price to come down enough to make it fairly affordable. Oh my crafts had them on sale and accepted a coupon on top of that and I was able to get it at $159.00!!!!!! Couldnt pass it up. It came Thursday and so far I have had no issues. Yippee!! I have sync'd it, updated it and loaded all of my carts to it and done some simple cuts to make sure it all works and WOW I love it!!! Cant wait to really start to use it!

Sour cream container treat boxes

2010-02-13T11:47:00.008-05:00

Here's my take on the sour cream container treat boxes. I made these with 41/4 x 51/2 pieces of cardstock. I ran the white one through my cuttlebug with the hearts folder (kinda hard to see) and used my MS scoreboard to faux crimp the ends. The red one I used red carstock and layerd the white lattice cut with my cricut using the wildcard cart. (It somewhat matches my Husbands valentine card posted in an earlier post) I did not "crimp" the ends on this one. I made the tags and tied onto the tops. They are filled with Hersey Kisses.

Vinyl saying for my craft room

2010-02-07T19:10:00.002-05:00

I cut this today using Lyrical letters for the saying and Home decor for the butterfly. I really like it but it is not level per my husband and I will need to fix it.

Stamped image swap

2010-02-06T21:23:00.003-05:00

Here is a card I have created for a stamped image swap. The swap was quite small so I was only required to make 5.

Valentine card

2010-01-27T21:13:00.002-05:00

Valentine card I recently made. I used a stampin up stamp set for the sentiment, truck and hearts. I used glimmer mist on the truck (does not show well in pic). I used swiss dots Cuttlebug folder on the silver metallic paper and heart blocks Cuttlebug folder on the red background paper.

Doggie treat Recipe Swap on Cricut MB

2010-01-15T18:56:00.007-05:00

Here is my swap cards I made for the Doggie Treat Recipe Swap. I have not done a layout before and thought it went pretty well. I used Paper Pups (of course), Lyrical letters, Everyday paper dolls and From my kitchen carts to complete the layout.

Target Mailboxes

2010-01-14T15:39:00.008-05:00

These are so cute, I made them for my son and his girlfriend for Valentines day. I got the idea from watching one of the The Pink Stampers videos. Kinda funny mailing mailboxes. lol

Silver tray altered to be a plaque

2010-01-11T00:05:00.005-05:00

I got the silver tray on clearance at M's and altered it with vinyl and paper.

I used Calligraphy collection cart for the letters and flower stem and Indie Art for the butterflies.

I used black vinyl for all and then pink and creme paper was also cut for layering of the butterflies and flowers. I used flowersoft for the butterfly bodies and pink stickles on the wings and around the tray.

Pics are not so good, bad lighting and the tray is very shiny so the flash really made it worse. I will try to take new pics tomorrow in better lighting.

Dollar Bin Michaels mini Lanterns

2010-01-09T21:18:00.008-05:00

I bought 4 of these and they have other colors as well but I liked these, I am going to use them this spring at the camper. I etched the glass with various images cut from my cricut. I used Lifes a beach, walk in my garden and my campout carts for the cuts. I really like how they turned out. Its really hard to take pics of glass, I tried everything but still has glare.

Valentine 2010

2010-01-04T23:46:00.003-05:00

Here is my first Valentine card of the season, not my idea. I saw this card on the cricut messageboard posted by flowerdisco and just loved it so I decided to try my hand at it and here is my take on it. I used the wildcard cricut cart for the majority and George for the hearts.

Blinged Bug - still needs something.....

2010-01-02T21:31:00.002-05:00

I have blinged my bug!! I added the vinyl, then thought it needed some sparkle so I added rhinestones to the birdie eyes. But I still think it needs something else. I will have to figure out where I can add some more sparkle.

Christmas pint size paint cans

2009-12-30T18:05:00.005-05:00

Here are 2 pint size paint cans I used as stockings for my son and his girlfriend. I used the clear ones for this to make it easier. I cut the paper at 5 3/4 x 12 and put it inside of can, the top of the paper tucks under the lip of the can. I used wired piping on the handle, and for the top I punched two holes with my big bite and inserted a floral pick in each one and twisted them together on the underside so they would stay.

Just Buggin challenge 16 Santa's Helper

2009-12-11T08:00:00.001-05:00

Here is my take on the Santa's helper challenge for just buggin!! I created this for my mom. I used the Christmas/Noel and Jubilee cricut cart for the cuts. I used black and white vinyl and set between 2 pieces of glass in a floating frame. The frame is wide and will be perfect for sitting on a table top or she can add satin ribbon and hang. Thanks for looking and make sre you check out our Just buggin blog, there is really great inspiration there!

2009-11-27T08:00:00.002-05:00

This is my first challenge with the just buggin design team. I am really excited and cant wait to do more!!! For this card I used the George cartridge. This is my least used cart I have I think.

I also layered the 1 inch flowers with at least 3 layers of White inked cardstock, gold foil and black cardstock.
