Dragon Card

Dragon card I made to match a webkin dragon for a friend's daughter's Birthday.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Yep, it's my birthday! I know some people don't like birthdays but I always have! It's not the gifts or attention or... it's just my special day. A day to mark where I've been and where I want to go, but most importantly a day to eat CAKE! and you know how much I love cake!

Growing up my best friend's birthday was today too. We aren't close any more but I still always think of her on our special day. Happy Birthday to you too!

Celebrating Fall

Fall is my favorite time of year! Why? I love the cooler nights, jackets and sweaters, brilliant fall foliage colors, pumpkins and mums, apples and berries, scarecrows and leaf piles, holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving (my favorite), I could go on and on. Did I mention my birthday is in the fall too! In honor of fall beginning today, I gave my blog a fall makeover, and I will be getting out all my fall home decor too! Happy Fall, enjoy it!

Blowing Bubbles

LO I made. I used my cricut to cut plastic bubbles, first time I've cut anything besides paper, works great. Farm Grammie took this pic and was surprised how well it came out.

Double Slider Card

Double slider card I made following youtube directions. The cool part, it uses part of a plastic sack as the mechanism. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7z8SD-k6i8

Getting Going

Wow, this is fun and a lot of work, I just spent an hour and half trying to figure out how to add a different background (FREE from http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/) for my blog. It was just a wording glich in the directions. Oh well, it is done now! Off to create somethings to display.

Pocket Card

Here's my take on a pocket card. It was fun and really easy just follow the tutorial on youtube.

50 States Flowers LO

Here's a layout of my DD. I just got the Cricut Design Studio and this was my first "welding" creation. Did I mention I am in love with my bug (Cricut) and now the DS too. I can't wait to explore all of its hidden abilities. I used Tear Drop for the font and some flowers from 50 States.

New to this

Trying to get my blog all set up. It's my first time, but I visit many other creative blogs everyday. Bear with me as I get it figured out.
