Hey! Cricut.com is giving away a cartridge or 100!

It looks like a great cartridge - Winter Wonderland

It's their 100th cartridge - hmmm . . . wonder if anyone has all 100 of them? I wouldn't be surprised!

Maybe I'll win one! A girl can only hope!

Tri-Fold Cut Out Birthday Card . . .

inspired by a Hallmark card i received for my birthday . . .

used CDS with George, Celebrations, and Doodlecharms to design it -



here is the .cut file note: when i cut the base of this card, for some reason everything freezes up after it finishes cutting. i have to turn the cricut off to get the mat out and i have to restart my design studio :( but it's still worth it! if anyone know a fix to this issue, please let me know!

Lighthouse Thank You

here's a tri-shutter card i made for my friend's husband (who loves lighthouses and cut our grass while we were on vacation!).

i have made a .cut file for the pp pieces. link below. i LOVE making these now that i don't have to cut each little piece out separately!

Wedding Card

a wedding card i made for my cousin's daughter - the accordian fold from scor-pal (i made mine slightly larger, started with 5.5" X 12" cardstock).

here's the .cut file for the different pieces of dp (and a reminder on the tabs of what size cardstock and where to score).

I figured it out!

Fun! I saw a similar card in the CMB gallery, but there were no directions. I figured it out! Here's the thankscutoutcard .cut file! uses George, Celebrations, and Walk in My Garden

Check it out!

i've added a link to the Cuttlebug Spot on my sidebar! yay! lots of inspiration there!

for the Cuttlebug Spot challenge! great timing! had a couple of cards i needed to get out quickly. i wasn't sure about them, but the more i look at them, the more i like them! i used all scraps!

the "Tank" card is for my stepson who lost his beloved Doberman (named "Tank") yesterday. the inside message is "Our furry companions may leave our sides, but they stay in our hearts forever. Please know that we share your sorrow".

Big Girl Panties!

Yay! Grace has big girl panties! Journaling reads:

Potty Training - Week 1: We had a long weekend with MLK day, so you didn't have school. That made it a prime time to start your potty training! We started on Saturday morning with your new big girl panties! You had Elmo, Nemo, and Jo Jo new pants. You seemed unaffected by them. But that's ok. You had a few accidents and we took you to potty every 30 minutes of so. Your teachers did the same thing. You never had any accidents at school! About half way through the week you seemed to catch on and would come to me only after you had wet your pants. Then a day or so later, you would take off running to the potty, only not quite in time. When you did what you were 'supposed to', you got to choose between a giant marshmallow or M & Ms.

Spinning!

today's artwork!

ZZZZ

Well, it's been a while since I've been in my scrapbook room to actually create. It felt so good! Elaine, this one's dedicated to you! Thank you so much for your friendship!
