Merry Christmas

          I am definitely not ready for Christmas, Halloween isn't even over and I am starting to see Christmas stuff everywhere. So for the Mojo Monday Challenge 211 this week I thought I would try to get into the Christmas spirit.  I am a little disappointed in in some of the "mistakes" on this card but I still love it! Try not to look to close.

         All right here is the list of supplies I used; Bo Bunny "Snowy Serenade Concerto" paper, Bazzill Basics "emerald city", "tiara", and a dark grey paper that I didn't have the name for.  I also used the Cricut Expressions Machine with the "Winter Wonderland" and "Lacy Labels" cartridges.  From Michael's I used "Merry Christmas" stamp with Versa Mark and garnet embossing powder and heat set it. Both of the ribbons are from "Celebrate it ribbon", a white ribbon which I used my copics to color black and then used "Smooch Spritz" white to add a little sparkle to it, and "Holiday Ribbon Bow". The button snow flakes are also from "Celebrate it", I used my copics (R39) to color them and used "Smooch Spritz" silver to add a little more sparkle. I also used my sewing machine with burgundy and green thread, this is where you are not supposed to look for my "mistakes". Since we are talking about Christmas, maybe Santa will be generous and bring me a new sewing machine (because mine is not working) with all the bells and whistles!  Oh, and by the way.....my schedule is working....so far.
Until next time,

Happy Halloween

I made this card using the Mojo Monday 210 challenge. 

I have Halloween on my mind, so I went with that theme. 

I have this lovely book of Halloween themed papers that I used, along with Basil papers, scissors, punches, string and versamark with black glitter embossing powder.  I cut out the spider and popped it out on the orange, I know its hard to see that detail.  I attached the orange string to the spider to make it look like the starting of a web and to follow the Mojo template without using a bow.

Now that back to school has passed and my family and I have adjusted back to a routine, I have invited family and friends to join me in my scrapbook studio in my basement on Tuesdays for some "scrap time".  My plan is to make a card for the Mojo challenge, maybe complete a page or two and update my blog by the end of the day. We'll see if I can keep that schedule.

Untill next time,

Happy Birthday Grandpa

I made this card in about an hour. That includes the time spent choosing the paper.  Not that I didn't want to spend more time, I just didn't have any. Right now I am suppose to be out the door.....so I'll make this quick. Grandpa loves old cars.....its his birthday......I thought the saying was funny. I found it on the Internet by using google "funny birthday quotes".  The complete quote is "Just remember, once your over the hill you start to pick up speed."  I thought the saying would fit in with the car theme.  I hand cut out the hill (I know you can tell), I used grass,sun, and cloud stamps with versamark, my cricut to cut out the car and the head from the Heritage cartridge, and of course my copics were used to color the car and to give it a little detail.



Happy birthday Grandpa, see you soon!



I don't know where the time goes!  I am not going to make any excuses.......except this happened and then that happened and before I know it summer is almost over.  Well maybe not yet, but I know that its going fast.

I haven't had any time to do any scrap booking at all, so, this is something I did a while ago. I used the cricut to draw this butterfly and then cut it out. It's a bit of a process.  If you are going to use your cricut for this, please remember to make your start point with the marker....so that way when you change back to the blade housing you can be pretty close with the cut line.  I had to try this twice before this one! I am glad I got a picture of this card that I made for my daughters birthday, because we can't find it any where.  I have almost all of my kids cards from birth forward.  I have been slowly putting them into a card album. It's just one more thing that they can look back on.  My daughter will have to clean her room in order to find this one!  I can guarantee the complaint department will hear from her!!
