Hello there my crafty Friends. Todays post is of some swaps that I participate in. I just love our Host Doris Parker, she does an amazing job organizing and comminucating with us on every detail.

This first card Is part of an Emboss With Technic. I saw this stamp set on a release blog hop and Just had to have it. I'm sure most of you recognize it, it's Jaded Blossom "Simply Sayings"  There is a version of this card which emspired me to make my own twist on it.

 This is the last swap, Its a baby die cut swap. I wanted to make something Unisex. When my kids were babies and started to eat solid foods, I took great pride and pleasure in making them their own homemade organic baby food. To this day I am so happy I did that. My children LOVE veggies and Fruits.

I hope all my swap partners like my creations. Thank you for stopping by and visiting me again.

Kid's request of the day

Well This is today's request from my kids. My son is so in love with the Pixar Cars characters. I made him Guido holding tires. I used Stampin' Ups Embossing folder called Square Lattice #119976 to give it a more real tire look. I think it worked perfect.  My daughter requested a Sally, so I made her one too. But for some reason Blogger is not allowing me to upload that photo. But she came out really cute. I put blue Stickles on her eyes, and yellow Stickles for her lights.

OK so I just tried again and it worked. Her she is. Can you see the sparkle in her eyes? LOL too cute. Corrina is still asleep, but when she wakes, she will be surprised. I used my MOST favorite Cricut crafting tool. my Gypsy. I love this thing, for anyone out there who owns a Cricut, should own a Gypsy. Love it.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Spring/Easter Swap

This is my first swap that I am participating in. The theme is Spring/Easter. You have to make 15 of the same cut, but it must be cut with a Cricut. this is what I decided to do for my swap. I cut the work Spring out the Easter 2010 seasonal cartridge and added a shadow. Then I used the opaque Uniden pen to add a little touch to it. Then I also added the soring time mix of Flower Soft to the flower.

I hope the people in the swap like it. I can't wait to get the other creative cuts from the other participants.

Christmas 2008

I got this 2 page layout, is absolutely beautiful, thanks to Melissa. She designed this for a gift exchange, And I was fortunate enough to receive it. I did notice when I got it done, there was a small oops on my part. I was working on my photos from 2008 and the layout on the top right corner said 2010. I did make the correction yesterday, luckily I had the same Storybook Cricut Cartridge to cut out the same font numbers.

Thank you again Melissa, You made such a beautiful layout. I think I might be able to finish 2008 by then end of this year. OK so I am still a little behind but I am trying LOL.

 I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Snowman Topnote Goody Bag

Well this was a very fun project, I had to copy from http://stampinwitheerlinda.blogspot.com/2010/12/snowman-top-note-mini-album.html. This worked out perfect for my Husbands Christmas potluck lunch at work.

I first started by cutting the topnotes for the bags. 2 topnotes per bag are needed.

I used Stampin up TopNote die, The card stock I used was red by ARC Papers purchased at The Crafting Place.

Then I embossed the topnote with the Cuttlebug and Swiss Dots embossing folder purchased at the crafting place @ 3560 East Russell Rd. Las Vegas Nv 89120

Then I cut out the box to sandwich between the top notes.

I assembled the box with red tacky tape.

From this point add the top notes to each side.

I also added some punch outs of snowflakes using Martha Stewart punches,I added some pop dots for dimension.

I also pieced snowmen using the Cricut Expression and the Christmas Cheer Cart.I also used Stickles on the hat and on the button holes. I cut the Snowman at 3".
I think it came out really cute, and a great office gift. I filled mine with a dozen mini Christmas tree cookies in Cello bags.
