A Fun Birthday!

I made these for my grand daughter for her birthday.  She wanted something a little funky, with tye-dye.  The telephone is made from an SVGcuts.com file.  The flower is a "freebie of the week" cut from Cricut.  The images on the card are also Cricut.

It's so nice being able to easily combine svgs and carts!

They were fun to make! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

Wow, where did the year go?  Are you, like the rest of us, planning to make things better for you and your loved ones this year?  I hope to.  I'm working on how not to spend money, including clipping coupons and buying less (or no) craft supplies *eek*!; be more creative with things I own,  organizing my things and purge, purge purge!  My craft supplies are equal to that of a small scrapbook store.  When is enough enough?  I love it all and could certainly fit more in here!  lol!  I have given away literally hundreds and hundreds of dollars in supplies to local schools and day cares.  I have begun to realize who I am and what I truly like, not what everyone else says I should like.  That in itself has taken a long time to manage to discover!  I hope you will join me on my journey to clean, concise and purposeful living and crafting!

Here is a quick, clean and simple card I made for our neighbors.  Yep, I made it after New Years as we have been very sick here and missed all of the holidays.  We will be sending over a delicious eggnog cake to go with it.  This will help them bring in the new year.

I used my Cricut with this one and CM Divine Wedding and MS Seasonal.  Papers:  DCWV and Stampin' Up.

Have a prosperous journey into a new you! 
 

Marcy's Mini

Hello everyone!

I have been without internet access for a couple of months, but I am back!  I have been making lots of things, just not able to post them.  Today, I will begin posting those creations!  So to start, I thought I'd start BIG!

This is a Hidden binding system, paper bag mini-album.  Wow, say that fast three times!  I learned how to do this on YouTube, of course!  The video is the best way to see this mini.  There would be too many photos to put on here.

Here is a list of the Cricut cartridges that I used: Hello Kitty Font, Home Accents, Home Decor, Mother's Day Bouquet, Cricut Essentials, Pagoda, Sophie, Southwest, Birthday Bash, Cindy Loo, French Manor.

You will note that the video mentions the CricutFanatics blog that I used to design for.  As I could not contact anyone or get online, I did not realize it was dissolving.  So sad!  Debbie did an amazing job with that blog!  I also just discovered I need to update my Cricut Circle status!  That's gone too!

Enjoy the video and all its quirks.  It took me 2 hours to upload!  Crazy!  Try a hidden binding mini, they are lots of fun!

 Have a wonderful day!

Happy Father's Day!

I made this card for my hubby for Father's Day.  I only used a mat for the inside.   I used my Cricut and Elegant Edges to make it.  I keep a bag of extra cuts in a large folder and just reach for one when I need something quickly.

 
I used Stampin Up, Making Memories and DCWV papers.  I added a doily that I bought a dollar store and sprayed with different Copic markers to get the color combo I wanted.  The "Dad" is from Soft Spoken.  I added some Webster's Pages and Simple Story stickers, some brads and of course Bling!  I sewed a couple of layers to make it feel more complete.

On the inside, I added Washi tape to the inside to cover up the sewing.  It makes it look a lot nicer!  I then added some of the extra sticker pieces, a mat with a SU! sentiment and I was done!
The card just kept growing and growing from a very basic idea.
