Random

I am finally coming to the end of the card projects for the Christmas Extravaganza on Friday. Honestly, I don't have much of an imagination left. Only one project left, to alter a composition notebook that I hope to take orders in. Here are some of the latest cards I have made. Hope you enjoy.

Doing a little Halloween Crafting

Some cute little treat boxes using Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More. I love giving these to teachers. Hope you enjoy. For some reason, I can't get the picture to turn. I have tried everything.

What a fantastic weekend it has been so far.


My sister is here, we had our 20 year Homecoming reunion last night, and today I have introduced my sister to her new Cricut. These are the two cards we made while she was learning all the little functions like shadowing and layering. Hope you enjoy.

A little this, A little that


It sure has been busy around here. I finally got all the Halloween cards made for the girls teachers and then decided to pull out the basketball cartridge because basketball season is quickly approaching. My daughter, Kaitlynn, will be trying out for the school team next week, and my husband will be holding try-outs for his team also. I'm about to become a basketball widow again. Here are the last two halloween cards, and I went ahead and made my husband a birthday card even though his birthday is another month away. Hope you enjoy.

Halloween fever

I have been playing in my craftroom all afternoon making Halloween cards for Kaitlynn and Mallory's teachers. Whew! 14 teachers between the 2 of them. I am running out of ideas and still need to make 2 more. I guess I'll finish them tomorrow. Hope you enjoy!











CPS Sketch #238

Decided to do a little blog hopping this afternoon for some inspiration and found this sketch challenge. I decided to start making some Halloween cards for my girls' teachers, but didn't want them to all look the same. I thought this would make a great card design. Hope you enjoy.

Did a little painting today.

Decided to leave the art room and let the girls do some paintings. They came out so cute.
The girls painted the witch's hats and I painted the shoe. I now have my front porch Halloween decorations.

JUGS sketch challenge

Here is a little christmas card inspired by the JUGS sketch for this month. Hope you enjoy.

My internet is finally working again!

It's has been the longest week ever. My internet air card was maxed out on Monday and I had to wait until today for it to start a new billing cycle. You would think AT&T would figure out a way to get DSL to my house. I live across a field from the high school and across another field from an airport, yet they say we are too far out. I cannot wait until our contracts with them are up. They can kiss my business goodbye.
Since I wasn't sitting at my computer, I had a little time to make some cards today, just for the fun of it. I found the coolest website for Paper Crafts magazine and saw where you can download freebie cut-outs. I am so used to just using my cricut for my die-cuts, that when I saw this, I figured I would give it a try. Hope you enjoy.

I also received the Paisley cartridge (for free with Cricut rewards) and decided to make a card for my daughter, Kaitlynn. These three monkeys reminded me of her group of friends: Kaitlyn, Cassie, and Shelby. I thought it was very appropriate (those knuckleheads!)
