Cricut Challenge 24

 Hello there and Happy Sunday to you all. This year I decided to make my Mothers Day gifts for my Mother and Mother-in-Law. My friend Dawn from scrapping the happening, made this adorable kit, so I had to buy one (of course) You can find her blog Here , she has some great gift ideas for sale.  This particular basket I made in the above picture is my version of her kit. I got permission from her to duplicate it and I am very happy that she let me. It's such a great idea for any holiday.

 The Cricut Cartridge I used
Mothers Day Bouquet  for the flowers
SU top note and border punch
Cinch
SU white Twine
Martha Stewarts Monarch Butterfly punch
Misc. buttons
Scotch Liquid glue

In addition to the baskets, I also made cards that were inspired by Pinterest. I made 2 slightly different versions of it.

This one is for my Mother, I hope she likes it.

In the picture below is Dawn's Basket kit and my card for my Mother-in-Law

The flowers were all cut from dies. The centers of the flowers I added pebbles from Heart To Home. You can find her Etsy store Here 


 Thank you for letting me share my projects with you this week. Sorry for the quality of the photos, I took them with my phone.



 See you soon.

Hello there, and Happy Sunday to you all. This week I have been on a major card making kick. Well because I needed to make a lot of cards. This first one above is a cute Birthday card for Logan. I really had no idea of what I was going to make so I started with just Mickey and built it from there. I hope he likes it.

I used Cricut Cartridges
Mickey and friends for the Mickey
Mickey Font for the wording
Teardrop  for the balloons
Black and white twine for the string on the balloons. ( thank god I saved my scraps of twine)

Here are the rest of the cards I made this week.


This one was inspired by a Pinterest post I saw:

This one below, I found a pic that I copied on the Internet. I actually hand cut this one, so no Cricut or Pazzles for this card. I did add some squares to this card after I took the picture, it just needed something else.

This one below, is for my husbands co-workers wife. She recently had a Baby Girl weighing over 10 LBS. Yikes!!!!!! I just love Twine (Strawberry Cupcake)

 This one below, is another Pinterest inspired card. I added some chalk to the embossed flowers and stems. 



This card below, I did with the new Martha Stewart Punches from HSN. They send you a cute sample project to get you started.  I liked it so much that I had to make it for a close and Dear friend of mine. It didn't come out perfect but it's still pretty.

 I hope you like my cards. Thanks for stopping by and visiting me. Have a wonderful day

 Happy Sunday to you, I hope you are doing well. This week I made a single page layout to share with you. My kids have the Little Tykes cars and love to play with them, even to this day at age 4 & 5. I had remembered that I had seen a layout before with the little cars on it, so I decided to look for the cart among the many that I stashed under my daughters bed. LOL This is what I came up with.

Cartridges I use are :

B is for Boys Lite for the cars and the keys
Disney Pixars Cars for the street (I welded 6 street pieces together to get each corner street)
Boys will be Boys for the initials on the car.
Pebbles by Heart To Home
Stampin Up dimensionals

Good afternoon,  I just realized that I forgot to do my post. Yesterday I got to work the Rubberstamp and Scrapbook Expo at the Texas Station. I cleaned out some of my crafting supplies that I either don't use or didn't want anymore. I went with 3 totes and 3 boxes plum full. I came home with about 10% of what I took with me. I made a good chunk of crafting change for new supplies LOL. I was a lot of fun to see new and long time crafters there.

 Back to my craft post. This week, I have been trying to get to know my new machine Pazzles. And I am finding that the more I play with it, the more I am loving it. I will continue with the Cricut Challenge next week. But as for now, this layout I made with a free cutting file I got on the Pazzles Craftroom website. It literally took me 1/2 hour to make this.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting me. Talk to you soon.

Cricut Challenge 21

Happy Sunday to you all, I hope your enjoying this crazy weather we are having. Yesterday I had a little time to craft, in between laundry and taking care of my kids. This week I made a layout , that I have been meaning to do for a long time. In January of 2010 we went to Bartstow California to visit my husbands Uncle Rex and Aunt Alice. Well they have lots of boy toys and my son was in heaven. So we took him out to the back yard to let him try out all the tractors. Well Corrina had to get in the action too. So I got some great pics of both of them playing with the tractors.
  This first L/O above is of Corrina.

This L/O above is of Anthony and Uncle Rex. I really like how this second L/O came out. I might just have to redo Corrina's a bit. 

The cart I used is Boys Will Be Boys

I also Used Tim Holtz Gear die

 I recently got a new machine called Pazzles. Which I absolutely LOVE. So I will be posting projects from both my Cricut and Pazzles. This decal above I cut using the Pazzles. A few of my fellow Jeepers went to MOAB for the annual Easter Jeep Safari. We could not go :(.  But they took lots of pictures and share it with our R-Jeeps Facebook page. So it was like we were there with them.
 Well They couldn't find a decal in MOAB that they liked, so they asked me if I could make one for them. Well this is what I made and they liked it.  I just love working with Vinyl, I especially love seeing my work on several Jeeps around the Las Vegas Valley. I am hoping that some day I will have a small Vinyl Decal business going. I know I am on the right track.



  Thank you for stopping by, see you next week.

P.S. I love you Rex My wonderful Husband, without your support I would not be here posting my crafts. You're the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cricut Challenge 20

 Hello there, I hope you are all doing well on this wonderful Easter Sunday, I am.  This year we decided to step away from the tradition of Easter candy , instead we bought the kids Scooters to encourage more outside play instead of cavities. We also hid some plastic eggs for them to hunt for but instead of candy we filled them with quarters for their piggy banks. They were just as happy as if it was candy. So my husband and I are very happy at their reactions.

 This week I participate in a Cricut Die Cut Swap on Facebook again. The theme was Easter/Spring, using Apple,Grape,and Blueberry (any variation of those colors) So here is my cut. I chose the Granny smith green since its my favorite apple.

Cart I used
Kate's ABC's and cut at 4"

 Thank you for stopping by on this wonderful holiday.

Have a great day

Cricut Challenge 19

Good morning and Happy Sunday to you all.  I had a great night sleep last night, after 4 straight nights of insomnia. I have no idea what was up with that. I hope that little phase is over.

 A couple of weeks ago, we went on a fantastic Mojave Trail ride, which took us 3 days to complete. There were a total of 5 Jeeps on the adventure. My husband and I were the only ones who had a Trail Safety Flag. Which made it easier for our group members to see us over all the Cacti and brush in the middle of nowhere. So at a quick stopping point we all got out to stretch our legs and take pics, someone suggested we all should have the trail flags for saftey. Well my husband and I looked at each other, and I said I could do that. So we came home and I went to the fabric store and bought 5 colors of nylon flag fabric. I also dusted off my YuDu machine. I cut out our club Logo in black cardstock and burned it to the YuDu screen.  The above picture is the end results. I found out that screening nylon is much harder than I thought it would be. But after all said and done, they came out great.

The carts I used are
Dude for the Mountain image
Plantin School Book for the wording.


  I hope you like my project this week. Have a great day.

Thanks for stopping by.
