Going on a vacation

Wanted to let everyone know that I will not be posting for the next 2or 3 weeks. I am going to SanDiego for 2 weeks to help my daughter with the new baby and Kaleah. I will have lots of pics to take and scrap when I get back home and settled in and back to work.

I hope everyone has a wonderful August and a lot of time to Scrap :) If this blog reaches 300 followers in my absence then I will do random.org upon my return and get that blog candy sent!!

It needs to have a new home before I get tempted by some of the beautiful summer colors!!

Happy Scraping everyone and enjoy the last weeks of summer !!

Layout Challenge

Hi everyone! Both of these layouts were done for a challenge on Paper Patch Crafts Fan page.

I wasn't happy with my 1st entry so I did a second entry.

As you can see I used several Prima Flowers and not many diecuts. My replacement Imagine machine turned out to be defective also so I had to make do! LOL

The pink frame was cut at 6 inches and is from the Fancy Frames Cricut Cartridge.

The K frames cut is an Imagine cut from the Baby Boutique Cartridge. I love that cartridge!!

The crystals are Prima and KaiserCraft.

The Animal Print papers and ribbons are from Oriental Trading company.
My Fav is the Animal Print layout. What is your favorite?

I have been slacking lately and not participating the way I should but life and my job has kept me busy!! I will be gone in August for a little over 2 weeks for the birth of my 2nd Granddaughter. I get to help with baby but I will be spoiling Miss Kaleah rotten to her daddy's dismay! My son in law is wonderful and tolerates my spoiling :) It is my job!! I don't get to see them often! So this may be my last post until the beginning of September.

I will be checking in and hope to give away my blog candy before I leave!!

Happy Scraping everyone!!!

ZEBRA PRINT CARD

Here is the second family Birthday card of the day. I love pink and black together so I kept it really simple on this one because I wanted the colors to pop. I was pretty happy with the results :)

The cardstock used was Papertrey

The rhinestones are Bobunny

The Ribbon is Offray and I purchased it from Joanns

I did the flower cuts from The Flower Shoppe Cartridge

The Happy Birthday cut was done on the Phrases cartridge

The Zebra paper is Paper Pizazz and was also purchased at Joanns

The faux stitching tape was purchased at Paper-Patch-Crafts

Balloon Volcano

Hi everyone! I created this card for my nephew who will be turning 1.

For this card I used the create a critter cartridge and the Hello Kitty greetings cart.

The Dino and the volcano are both cuts fron the create a critter as well as the greeting.

The balloons are from the hello kitty cart. All the cuts were done on my expression.

Well I better get back to card making I still have a few family birthdays to go!!

Happy scrapbooking everyone!

Lily Birthday Cards

Happy 4th of July everyone!!

I created these 2 birthday cards yesterday for upcoming family Bdays.

The lillies were made with 3 different Mcgill punches. I used plain white cardstock and inked the edges with a Marvy marker. I used chalk to color the lily petals then a fine point marker for the dark dots.

The Hummingbird and the Happy Birthday cut on the orange card are Cricut Imagine cuts from the Lori's garden cartridge. I just went in and changed the colors a bit.

The pink lily card has a standard tag cut from the Imagine machine that comes already loaded then I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment. The butterfly is a cut from the Elegant edges cartridge but I used the lori's garden cartridge to color in the butterfly. The pink rhinestones are Kaisercraft and so are the card bases.

Hope everyone is having a happy and safe holiday!!

Hubbys Fathers Day Card

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is having a nice Fathers Day Weekend!!

I finally completed the outside of my hubbys card and decided to post it. He does not spend time on the internet so he will never see it before tomorrow.

I used the imagine and papertrey cardstock. The card is Papertrey but the cuts were done on the imagine with white cardstock and RGB codes for papertrey colors so I could get it all to blend. The grass I filled with pattern color from the snapshot nature Imagine cartridge as well as the wood pattern on the sign. I have decided that I love my Imagine and the Cricut Craftroom when it is working!! lol The squirrels and the sign are from the Cricut Campout Cartridge. The Blue accent shape is a stock image on the Imagine machine.

Have a great weekend and Happy Scraping!!

Red White and Blue Fashionista!

Hi everyone! I just received new pics of my granddaughter and couldn't resist scraping this one.
I love this Bo Bunny Paper Line it is called the Liberty series and I purchased it at Princess Crop Shoppe and here is the link to her store: http://stores.ebay.com/Princess-Crop-Shoppe?_trksid=p4340.l2563 The Dot ribbon is also from her store.

The pretty white lace and the round coaster are from Annes store and here is her link:http://paper-patch-crafts.com The pretty red felt flower is also at Annes store!!

O.k now the cuts... The shooting star is a cricut cut from the stand and salute cartridge and I cut that on my expression in the base cut and the shadow cut and glued them together with my trusty fine point glue pen. The Flags are a Cricut Imagine cut from the Enjoy the seasons cartridge. I had to split the layers to be able to get the flags without the banner. The American Pride cut is also from the Stand and Salute cartridge but I did the cut and color function on the Imagine to do that one.

The jewels and other bling I have no idea where I purchased it or how long I have had it!! Like most scrapbookers I find things in this room that I didn't know I owned!!

I haven't had the Imagine long and it is a learning process!! I also have access to the Cricut Craftroom but it still has alot of bugs to work out and doesn't cooperate 80% of the time with the imagine! I reverted back to the expression and design studio for items that just need to be cut because they are having problems with the cut only function and will be putting out an update to fix that soon. I do have to say that the support people are very pleasant and will walk you through trouble shooting issues!
Hope everyone is having a great day!! Happy Scraping!
