Valentine Defined

2012-01-31T00:00:00.000-05:00

Good Morning Everyone.

Today I wanted to share with you a cute Valentine's Day card.

I am entering this into the Lollipop Crafts Anything Goes Challenge

I made this card using the Stampin Up set Valentine Defined. It is such a cute set.
As I said before I am learning how to stamp so it isn't perfect yet but I like to think I am getting there...lol
I used the Bow Easy to make that awesome bow!

I also wanted to apologize for not posting very much. I had a string of bad luck. A dead laptop. And then my Gmail account was hacked. And all my pics on my blog disappeared. So I had to go through and re- upload them all. I still have some left to do but I am slowly getting it back in order.

I am now instead of using GMail with my blog I am using my regular email. So hopefully this sort of thing wont happen again.

I do have to ask since I changed my email associated with my blog if you were a follower by email can you
re follow by email. Because the feed link changed when I changed the email. So please if you can re follow by email.

Oh and Check Out Susan's New Look -- She is my last blog make over for a while. Once I get more time I will put back up my blog make over page and take on new clients. Maybe a month or so from now:)

Valentine's Day Gift Jar

2012-01-13T08:45:00.000-05:00

Good morning everyone. I hope everyone has a great day today!

I was honored to be guest post again over at She's A Sassy Lady. Thank you Sheila for having me again this month!

For todays project I put together a cute little Valentine's Day jar. I had a lot of fun doing this project.

First I started with an old peanut container. I peeled off the label and ran it through the dishwasher.

I then took some Stampin Up paper and cut it at 7x4 so it would wrap around the jar half way.

Then I opened up my Cricut Craft Room.

The bug is from the Cricut Cartridge Simply Charmed. And the scalloped circle is

from the Cricut Craft Room Basics digital cartridge.

The bug and its layers I cut at 3 inches. The scalloped square I cut at 3.25 inches.

I used a red ink around the scalloped square.

And black ink and red chalk to draw in the face ( I hid the contours of the face when cutting it )

After glueing the paper to the jar I took my pink ribbon and wrapped it around

having it meet in the front of the jar. Taped it in the front and then glued the the scalloped square

over it. I then took a couple of 3d pop dots and added the cute love bug to the front.

Took another piece of the pink ribbon, some read thread, and a red button.

Created the bow and then glued on the side.

Then I added some glitter to his antennas and his heart.

The lid on the jar I took off white ribbon and glued it around the jar.

And then added the finishing touch of the red thread and button to the lid.

I then added some fun Valentine's Day candy to the inside:)

Thank you so much for checking out my post here at She's A Sassy Lady.

Hugs

Chris

Good Morning:)

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!

Today I wanted to share with you another Christmas Card..lol
I tried stamping again and using my SU watercolor pencils. I made a lot of mistakes on this one. I guess
I just need to keep practicing.

I went out of the lines at the bottom of Santa so to cover it up I used some flock and glitter and made snow on the bottom.

The Santa and the Christmas lights are from the CTMH Share The Magic Stamp Set.

The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Old Time Christmas Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by my blog:) I hope you have a great weekend!

This card is entered into the following challenges:

Little Scrap Pieces

She's A Sassy Lady

Christmas Train Frame

2011-11-20T15:04:00.000-05:00

Happy Sunday

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

Today I wanted to share with you all a Christmas Train Picture frame:)

This project took me days to complete and I was not as happy with the end results as I had hoped to be.

I used a couple of cricut cartridges to make the project.

I used the cricut craft room to make it:)

The trains are from the B Is For Boy Cricut Cartridge. I did cut the train a bit different by using hide contour to hide some parts that I did not want on the train. And I grouped a square in three places so it would cut out a spot for the pictures.

I used cereal box in the middle and coved both the front and the back with heavy card stock.

I flood filled the train with colors from the Mr. Frosty Imagine Cricut Cartridge.

I cut the track using Cricut Pop Up Neighborhood cartridge and flood filled it with a basic black.

I cut the tracks four times and glued all four pieces together to give the tracks some dimension.

The tree is from The Give A Hoot Cricut Cartridge. Flood filled with basic colors. I also cut several layers of card stock to make the tree sturdy.

The hills in background is from the Give A Hoot Cartridge too:)

I mixed glitter and flock together and applied it on the tree, the hill, the ground, and the tracks to give it a snow like effect.

Added some embellishments and I was done.

Oh I also cut white card stock and bent it slightly on one side. Glued the hill to it and the tracks and stuff so that the frame would stand up on its own.

It was a lot of fun to try something different but I am not 100 percent pleased at how it turned out. But definitely a learning experience and I hope each time I try something different it comes out better each time.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a peek:)

Season's Tweetings! And Challenge winner!

2011-11-16T03:00:00.000-05:00

Good Morining:)

I am so proud of myself. I buy all of these stamps and then I only use the sentiments and never the image. Out of the fear of what it would look like if I tried coloring it myself.

I first wanted to play with my SU watercolor pencils that just sit there and go unused. So I watched a few you tube videos on different techniques for watercolor colored pencils. And then went through my stamps and set to work to do it! And I only messed up in one spot and that ironically was the sentiment..lol I put it on crooked..hehe.

Anyways here is my first stamped card using SU Water Colored Pencils.

Recipe:

SU Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pen

http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/papercraftingmom/

Clear Dollar Stamps Snow Tweet Stamp Set

I am going to try to force myself to use something other than the cricut a few times a month.

Wish me luck..lol Since the cricut is my comfort zone.

Now onto the winner of my magazine inspired challenge. I used random number to pick.

Entry number 1 .... Abusybee .... Please use the contact me form to discuss how you want your prize:)

Thanks to everyone that played along. I loved all your projects!

See You On The Web

2011-09-25T03:00:00.000-04:00

Good Morning,

First I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has given me the opportunity to redo their blog. And I wanted to say thank you to all of my followers for following my blog. I really appreciate it.

I had so much fun making this card! Isn't it cute!

I used the Chic & Scary Cricut Cartridge to make the spider. He is cut at 2.75.

The web is a Stampin Up Die called Textured Impressions Spider Web. I used a Stampin Up Craft Whisper White Ink pad and lightly tapped it on the embossed spider web. Then I took some Pearlized White Smooch I got from SU and traced over sections of the spider web.

The Sentiment is from Clear Dollar Stamps. It is called Spider Greetings. It says See You On the Web. Its hard to see in my picture.

Have an awesome day! And thank you for stopping by:)

I'M Batty Over You

2011-09-24T03:00:00.000-04:00

Good Morning Everyone,

Today I wanted to share with you a fun Halloween card. I love Halloween and Christmas time. And love making things for this time of year.

For this card I used Stampin Up punches.

The circle Punch 2 1/2 size.

And the Bat punch.

I punched the bats and moon out of left over grey card stock. Distressed the edges with black ink. Then I used Black Smooch Spritz on the the bats. And Black and White Smooch Spritz on the Moon.

You can find the Stampin Up Items here:

http://www.papercraftingmom.stampinup.net

The background was left over black glitter card stock I had left over.

The stamp is one I got out of the dollar bin at a craft store a while back ago:)

Also the bat punch is on the clearance rack.

Preschool and crayon wreath

2011-09-07T03:01:00.000-04:00

I hope you all are having a great day:)

My youngest started preschool and despite his constant "I will not like it" and "I dont want to go" we arrived there and he love it. At first he wanted to hide near me but once they pulled out the trains he ditched me and didnt look back. He just loves trains..lol

I saw a crayon wreath project on my friends blog and just had to make one up myself for a gift for the teacher at preschool. Or should I say teachers...lol There are a lot of them.

I used the cricut cartridge DoodleCharms to make the Bus and the Apples. The bus was cut at 3 and the apples at 2 1/2.

I had to get creative and hang the other 4 teachers names off of the wreath.

I used 6 inch and 8 inch hoops. And left over card stock and ribbon.

Here is the link to Kim's Blog where I saw the project.

Today is my nine year olds first day and then my 15 year old starts Thursday.

So I hope to have more projects posted regularly now:)

Stay tuned for my 500 follower contest announcement.

2011-08-14T03:15:00.000-04:00

Good Morning. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Mine has been good unless you count the constant bickering my boys do. Boy they act like they are mortal enemies instead of brothers.

I have still been working hard trying to use my gypsy more. And I have been working hard trying to get all of my Christmas cards done early. So I am sure you will see a lot of Christmas card posts over the next few weeks.

This card was made using the Cricut Cartridge Christmas Cheer. The Santa was cut

about 2.75 and the base of the card is a 4.75 circle welded together.

The sentiment is one of those I found in the dollar bins in the craft store.. lol

Good Morning. I hope you all are having a good day so far. I have been working hard at catching up with my card making and scrap booking. And I have been trying to get to know my gypsy better.

The card base is a triangle at 4.75 then copied and flipped and welded together.

The Balloons came from Birthday Bash and they are cut at 2.75.

The banner is cut at 2.75 as well and is from The Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge too.

The sentiment plaque is from Birthday Bash and is cut at 1.75.

The sentiment is from CTMH.

400 follower giveaway blog post click here

Hi everyone:)

Today I am sharing a card I made to enter into Kim's Challenge. Here challenge was to use a cartridge you hardly ever use. Well Since I hardly ever ever use my gypsy and I want to start using it more I chose to do this challenge using my gypsy and the gypsy wanderings cartridge.

The base of the card is actually a tag function on the gypsy wandering cartridge.

I chose the tag I liked and did it 4.52 in size. Then I copied the tag and flipped it and welded it together to create the card base.

Then I took the same tag and cut it at 4.

The cute owl is cut at 2.50. It is also from the gypsy wandering cartridge.

The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Woodland Critters stamp set.

Well it has been a couple of posts since I mentioned checking out my message board.

I would love to see you guys there sometime. It would make my day:)

Cricut Circle First Haircut Layout

2011-08-06T03:05:00.000-04:00

Good Morning:) I hope everyone is having a good start to their day:)

I am having a hard time this summer finding time to sit down and play. The boys keep me very busy. But I am promising myself to take at least a couple days a week and unwind in my craft room.

This month's Cricut Circle Challenge is to create a scene in your project.

I have had a hard time getting on the blog but once I do this project will be posted there too:)

I made this Layout using Cricut Pop Up Neighborhood, Cricut Everyday, Cricut Alphabet, and Cricut Everyday Paper Dolls.

The barber shop was cut using cricut pop up neighborhood. Cut at 4.75.

The scissors were cut using cricut everyday. Cut at 2.50.

The alphabet was cut using the Alphabet font on the expression 2. Cut at 2.

And the boy was cut using the everyday paper dolls cartridge. Cut at 2.

On Another NoteI need all of your help.

How do you take pictures of your scrapbook layouts for posting them? It took me a hundred tries to even get the pictures I got above.

Do you lay them flat?

Do you have something you sit them in?

What is the secret..lol

So do you get overwhelmed with all the things you have? I am trying to start using all of my things. For a while I was only using my cricut while everything else sat around. I figured I better get using it all to justify all the money I spend on it:) I just get overwhelmed and dont know what to use. I am vowing to try to use a little of everything each month:)

Hey Everyone:)

Boy have I been busy. I thought I would have more time to craft with school out, thinking my older ones could help with my littlest, but I have even less time now that school isout. These boys sure keep me crazy.

I just got their report cards and I am so relieved to say that my oldest (Z) passed. By the skin of his teeth but he passed. N passed too. He did real well this year.

We are getting our housed painted too. And it is coming along great. This week I will post some pics:) It is a pretty old house and it really needed it:)

I will write a brief recipe on how I did them:)

3 3/8 x 2

3 1/8 x 1 3/4

2 7/8 1 1/2

When adding these to front use pop up dots only on bottom so you can slide card closed on top.

The inside is an envelope cut and half.

You seal envelope (medium size) and fold in half and cut it down middle.

Then you glue the two parts together to create that accordion look.

And then glue whole piece inside base of card.

I purchased my envelopes medium size from SU.

The butterfly and flower stamp are from SU For All You Do Set.

And the happy birthday is from SU Family Phrases Set.

The ink was SU classic Dusty Durango:)

Thanks for looking:)

I have a couple more projects using the same paper I will post tomorrow:)

Oh and I have lost one pounds! Between the Zumba, Treadmill, and Ab Glider Pro I am finally starting to see results! I know only one pound. But I am syched. Now to keep it up and learn how to tone up.

It isnt gonna be easy now that school is out and the boys will be home eating all the time in front of me. So hopefully I dont lose my will power as they tease me with thier yummy treats:)

Now onto my project for the day. I used my cricut imagine and the Imagine More Cards Cartridge. The sentiment is one of MPS's fun stamps. I did two and dressed them up a little different. One with just ribbon and the other with twine and a button:)

I want to add a special Thanks To Crafting Katie For helping me see the potential in this cartridge:)

T-Shirt Using Freezer Paper And Cricut

2011-04-25T11:01:00.001-04:00

I hope everyone is having a great start to their week.

Sorry I have been MIA but the boys were on spring break and keeping me busy. They went back today and the little one is missing them terribly.

So who is sitting up and waiting for the Launch of the Cricut Expression 2 Anniversary Edition?

I am going to try very hard to make it to midnight ..lol

I hope everyone had a great Easter.

This weekend I worked on a t-shirt for my youngest son. I used the cricut and freezer paper. And fabric ink:)

The image and the saying are from the Cricut Lite Cartridge B is for Boy.

I put the freezer paper on my mat shiny side down. Cut the layers.

Then I put the first layer on the t shirt shiny side down and ironed it on.

Colored the image in with fabric paint.

Let dry a little ( not enough next time I will let dry longer in between each layer ) and the did the same for the next layer and so on.

I was a little impatient and didn't wait for each layer to dry completely before adding the next layer so some of the image on the t shirt is a little bumpy.

Here is a couple of pictures.

Only two days left to enter my challenge and win a prize:)

Go to this post for info

http://chatterscene-mom.blogspot.com/2011/04/april-showers-blog-candy-challenge.html

Birthday Card Using Life's A Beach Cricut Cartridge

2011-04-14T15:08:00.001-04:00

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days. I have been so terribly busy.

I am so excited that my blog has a new look. What do you guys think? Does it look good?

Anyone else in spring clean mode? I have been doing the boys rooms and organizing my scrap area.

And to boot my diet isn't going so well. I have actually gone up one pound and I have been doing everything right:(

Oh please don't forget to enter my contests I have going on.

Don't miss your chance to win. You can read about the one for my blog as well as my message board here http://chatterscene-mom.blogspot.com/2011/04/april-showers-blog-candy-challenge.html

Okay tomorrow is my Step Dad's Birthday. So I threw together a quick B day card.

I used the cricut cart Life's a Beach for this card. And I have to say I am very pleased with how it turned out.

The lighthouse and the birds are from Life's A Beach Cricut Cartridge.

The light house is cut at 3 inches. And the birds are cut at 1 3/4 inches.

All of the cardstock is from DCWV dots stripes and plaids except the base.

Thanks so much for looking:)

Imagine More Charm Bracelet

2011-04-11T20:54:00.000-04:00

I hope everyone is having a super start to their week.

I am loving that CNY is in the 70's today although it is supposed to drop in temperature tomorrow.

Now to fit into those summer clothes. I really don't want to spend any money on more this year. I rather have it to buy all my favorite craft stuff.

Which reminds me my Zumba came today. So excited to pop it into the tv after the kids go to bed and learn the basics:)

Don't forget about the giveaways I am doing. Read about them in this thread.

http://chatterscene-mom.blogspot.com/2011/04/april-showers-blog-candy-challenge.html

Okay now for todays post. I just finished this project. I used my Cricut Imagine and Shrinky Dink paper for inkjet printers.

All of the images are from the cricut cartridge Imagine More.

I bought the Shrinky Dink paper for ink jets from Hobby Lobby but I have seen it at Michael's as well.

Place the sticky less shiny side of the the shrinky dink paper on the mat. Cut multi 5, Pressure 5, speed 4. Each image I chose a slightly different size but most were at a 2.5 size.

If making a charm make sure to use hole punch to punch out the hole before baking.

Pre heat your toaster oven to about 285.

Lay aluminum foil down on a cookie mat. And place each cut face up on the tray. Put in oven. Bake time varies. Once they curl up and straighten out leave in 30 seconds longer ( after they have straightened out )

Pull tin out of oven and let cool. ( I used a spatula when they first came out and pressed down on each gently to make sure they were flat -- they need to still be hot for this to work)

Once cool you should spray them with a clear coat or polyurethane. Because if they get wet the ink will run.

And thats it:)

As always please stop by and chat with us over at Chatter Scene. We have a great bunch of woman. And the board has areas for crafters and non crafters. Every one is welcome.

Hoppy Easter Card

2011-04-08T11:01:00.000-04:00

Hello everyone:) I hope everyone is having a fabulous Friday:)

I ordered the Zumba Dvd Set from TV and I am anxiously awaiting it so I can add it to my exercise routine. Right now I just walk on treadmill about 20 minutes a day. But I am holding steady at my weight. So I thought I would do Zumba a few days a week too. I need to also get more strict with my diet. But I am determined. I need to lose 15 pds to fit back into my summer clothes.

I am rather upset with myself for gaining so much weight over the winter.

Watch my ticker I am going to display on top of my blog and root me along:)

Have A Frog-Tastic Birthday

2011-03-29T13:12:00.000-04:00

I wanted to start off by saying thank you to all of my new friends. What a fantastic idea Momo had. And I was so excited to find all those awesome blogs that I never knew where out there.

And I only need to have 8 more followers to do some blog candy:)

Now for my card. I think for the first time ever using my stickles ruined the card but I decided not to trash it because it was a fun card to make.

I used my Paisley Cricut Cartridge for this project.

First I cut the cupcake at 3 inches.

Then on the same cartridge I cut the frog 3 inches too.

I cut off the pieces of the frog I wanted to use.

And then I assembled the cupcake sliding the pieces of the frog between the layers of it.

Added googly eyes. And a strip off glittered paper for the tongue.

The paper is from the DCWV Dots Stipes and Plaids pack.

The sentiment I typed on my computer.

I also wanted to say thanks to those who left me an award over the last couple of days.

I will be by tomorrow to pick them up and send them out to others.

I want to remind everyone of the different giveaways I am doing over at the message board.

We have several going on right now and a few more to start over the next few days. Here are the links to the ones I have posted already:)

Here is my entry for the challenge.

For this card I used the Cricut Imagine and my Gypsy.

The bird is from the 3 Birds on Parade Cricut Cartridge and the layers

and all the card colors are flood fills from the Imagine Cartridge Elise.

The sentiment is also from the 3 Birds On Parade Cartridge.

The card itself is cut from the Smiley Card Cart on the gypsy.

Okay now for the basket:)
I took different views so you all can see it well.

The basket image on the cart.
For this basket I didnt use a certain size.
I tried and was kept being told it was too big.
So I just used the fit to page option and chose cut.

The cute border on bottom I cut at 2 1/4.

I put stickles on the boarder and a cute flower and brad on top.

The ribbon I wove through it is the Stampin Up Old Olive.

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment and I will be sure to stop by your blog as well:)

Cricut Imagine Tshirt

2011-03-20T16:46:00.001-04:00

Hey everyone:) Sorry for the long time in between posts.

Today I worked with the cricut imagine cutting on iron on transfer sheets. For this project I used dark transfer sheets from Walmart. I used the Imagine More Cricut Cartridge and the Nate's ABC Cricut Cartridge.
The cute cow is from the imagine more cart. And the Got Moo is the font from Nate's ABC.
I also used the i-rock for the cows eyes and some cute buttons for his nose:)

I made it for my son. He calls his milk moo. So instead of got milk I did got moo..lol
Cute huh?

Here is a close up

2011-03-15T19:49:00.000-04:00

Birthday Card Campin Critters

2011-03-14T12:40:00.000-04:00

I hope everyone is having a fabulous start to the week.

First I wanted to invite you all to come chat with us over at the message board.
http://www.chatterscene.com/csboards/index.php

I really love having all of my crafting friends over there:)

I wanted to share the card I made for my mother in laws birthday. I used the cricut Campin' Critters cartridege to make the card. I cut the duck at 3 inches.
I used Pink By Designs stamp set called Wood Land Critters for the sentiment.

Hoppy Easter Card

2011-03-12T09:03:00.001-05:00

Good Morning everyone? What do you all have planned for the weekend? I am gonna be out trying to get all of my errands done this morning and then DH and I have date night with out the boys tonight:)
I am so happy with how warm it is starting to get here in CNY. I am loving that all the snow is finally starting to melt. I was getting so tired of all the gloomy weather.
I also wanted to tell everyone that I bought the Crafter's Companion Rock A Block set and I am loving it. My stamped images have never come out clearer. I do need to go out and buy a smaller stamp pad though so that I dont accidentally ink the edges of the blocks. The rocker part.
I also wanted to invite you all to come chat with us over at my message board. Chatter Scene we have a fun paper crafting area where I do give aways once in a while:) The ladies there are very nice and very creative. The more peeps there sharing ideas the better:) We also have other areas of the board for those non crafters as well. Lots of mommy areas. And very little drama. Which is nice on a message board.
Okay now to my card. I whipped up this hoppy easter card using the Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge and the DoodleCharms Cricut Cartridge.
I cut the bunny rabbit at 3 inches.
The basket was about 1 inch.
I colored in the eggs with copic markers and then added some fun glitter flock to them.
The hoppy easter sentiment was computer generated. I didnt realize I didnt have a good easter stamp. So I printed it and punched it out with a stampin up punch.
The ribbon was just a ribbon I picked up at the local craft store.
I used Peachy Keen animal faces to stamp the face on the rabbit.
I also used chalk to give him a bit of color.
And of course as always I added stickles:)

Took two pics because I am practicing different settings on my camera to get more clear pics.

Cow Layout

2011-03-07T09:58:00.000-05:00

Happy Monday everyone:) What is on the agenda for the week?

I have a ton to do. I want to get my spring cleaning done. More layouts and cards done. I also have some cuts to make.

I did this layout using the Animal Kingdom Cricut Cartridge cow. The cow is cut at 3 inches. I used peachy keen animal faces stamp for his face. I also used the Walk In My Garden cricut cart bee. The bee is cut at 1 inch.

I also used the cricut imagine to do the background paper with the clouds. I did this using the cricut imagine Hopscotch pattern cartridge. The sun is from Accent Essentials Cricut Cartridge. The sun is cut at 2 inches.

I again used the Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors on the grass.

Of course I added lots of stickles glitter.

Animal Kingdom Cricut Cart

2011-02-19T16:04:00.000-05:00

I hope everyone is well. I really enjoyed the warm up we had here in CNY yesterday. Not liking how cold it became as the day went on and over night. I am just glad spring is around the corner.

Just thought I would let those of you know who dont that we have an awesome message for woman to chat on. There is an area for everyone. Crafting, scrapping, paper crafts, parenting, pregnancy, and so much more. And it is a free board. I would love to have each and every one of you there to chat with us:)
http://www.chatterscene.com/csboards/index.php

Now to my project. I decided that I needed to start using the stuff I buy more.I have so many cricut carts that I have not used. So I am going to be using them in alphabetical order so that I can say that I have used each and every one of them...lol

This one is from Cricut Animal Kingdom cartridge. And I used Peachy Keen Animal faces size small. Cricut Animal Kingdom Horse cut in 3 inches.

Sorry about being MIA

2011-02-16T08:58:00.001-05:00

I just wanted to say sorry for not being around.

I recently suffered a miscarraige and slipped into a bout of depression. I am just starting to feel like myself again.
I do have a lot to be thankful for though. I do have three very handsome boys who mean the world to me. I was actually feeling guilty thinking I had no right to be so upset over this loss when I have been blessed with my sons and there are ladies who have no children at all. Yet I could not help but feel devasted.

On a brighter note I am so glad it is finally starting to warm up and the snow is starting to melt.

I wanted to thank you all for following my blog.
