Back to Krafting

Hello Everyone!
It's been a long time.  I've missed crafting so much and I really want to get back to it.  Last week my twin girls celebrated their birthday so to get back in the swing I created some cards for them.

  My girls are identical so I made their cards alike but in their favorite colors.  It works for them as long as there's money inside!

I had so much fun I'm setting up some classes!  The first class will be September 5 @ 2pm and 6pm.  We'll make Thank you cards.  I hope you'll be able to join me, there will be a $5 fee for supplies.  RSVP in a comment below

Fun Sunday

I was invited to do a demo for some ladies and had a lot of fun.  I met some new friends and got to visit with a friend.  We made a quick little card, then I tried to show them how to cut and make a box from the Art Philosophy cartridge, but my Cricut quit! Bummer, they were very understanding and even invited me back!

Here's the card, they really liked it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Timely Cards

I'm a member of a card club.  They are a super group of ladies, monthly we take turns hosting and coming up with ideas for cards or, well, sometimes, anything.  This month the challenge was sympathy cards, sadly something that we all need occasionally.  The girls made some beautiful cards and I am very appreciative for all of them.

This is the card I made.  I'm pleased with it and everyone seemed to like it.

I used White Daisy cardstock, Twilight ink, the design element was cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge (pg. 26), the stamped element was from the Swirls Around stamp set.

All are from Close to My Heart.

I did make two designs but opted to use only one of them.

I'm getting a late start this month, but there will still be a drawing.  This month the prize will be one of each of the items I post each day, that I make.  Sometimes there may be items I share that are made by others and those won't be part of the drawing and I will remind you of that if it happens.

The drawing will be over at midnight, August 31, 2014, Pacific time.  You can enter by making a comment and you'll get an additional entry if you follow me.

Have a great day, now go get creative!

Happy 4th of July!

What a day! The day before our country's Independence celebration! I'm looking forward to the fireworks, I love them!

Today I have a small giveaway to announce.

 It's a file folder mini album, very small but sweet.  Everything is cut from the Artiste Cricut cartridge.  I know you'd like it and I also have a class coming up to make one.
The drawing will be July 31 and the class will be August 2 at 2:00pm.

Thank you Dr. Phil for the inspiration!

A Crafty Day

The weather is so nice although it's a bit too warm for me, they (whoever 'they' are) say it will get warmer before it cools off. The only problem is that the bugs and reptiles love it, ick.

I went to card club at Beckys last evening and we made some great cards! She always comes up with some cute cards. Check them out.

I needed to make something today.  After a search I found some great ideas at The Letter 4. The Crafters Survival Kit was so cute! So I borrowed the idea and ran with it.  Mine aren't as cutsie and girly as hers but I had fun and my daughters like them.

So I've created something today and I feel better. For me it's an accomplishment.

Have a wonderful day, be creative!

Things I made this week

Okay, here's my first try at showing off some things I made, let's see if it works.

I love making these little 'milk cartons' I got a tutorial last year to make the holder but I did improvise.

Some valentine cards I made.

I love gable boxes. While organizing my craft area, I found a bunch of di-cuts, and this is the result, I just had to play. I have about 10 more pages with two on each page as well as a bunch of tags. They're 2 1/2 x 4, I think they're from Stampin' Up.

Another milk carton, just very tall and a mini pizza box.

I had fun!!!
