I just got the new Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs and just could not resist to get to work on them! Yes, I have the birds and cats too! I have a bunch of them colored and will be hopefully putting some of them on my blog soon.
I used my Cricut to cut out the scalloped circle, circle and the "What?". They could easily be cut out of Spellbinders, or whatever other dies or machine you have. The dog is both a stamp and die. I used my Sizzix to cut it out. I still love my Sizzix and dies too! I think I just love all things paper! I colored the dog with Copics and then took the colorless blender to add
polka dots to him. (How could I resist?) There is glossy accents on
the eyes, nose and tongue. He looks like he is trying to hear something and not doing such a good job!
The "What" font is one I downloaded and I believe it's called, "Great day". By keeping the title simple, I can use almost any sentiment I want on the inside of the card.
I used a We R Memory Keepers embossing folder for the scalloped circle as it looked to flat and boring without any embossing. I love their 6x6 embossing folders! The ribbon has been in my stash forever and it's from Making Memories. I have several multi packs of this with other nice ribbons in it. I have no idea where I got the little flowers or the bobbles from.
Unfortunately, this past year has been very difficult for me as I had a head injury. It made it very difficult to even think about crafts, let alone do any! I am hoping I will be able to not only craft, but add my makings to my blog. That was one of the hardest things for me to do... work with the computer or watch T.V. I'm glad to be heading back to the more normal me. I'd love to say I'm "normal" but I don't think I've ever been that! Lol!

Jump Right In!
I used another Kadoodlebug Designs for this birthday card. It's from the spooky cuties set. I am having so much fun with this new Explore! I can't believe how tiny the pieces can be that it can cut! I used the writing feature to do the sentiment on the inside of the card. Lots of fun!
Thanks for stopping by!

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.
