Episode 9 Saturday Video Series

Hi Crafters! Today is Episode 9 in my Saturday Video Series. Today we are making a Halloween Treat Box! We will be using the Cricut, and Wild Card and Mini Monsters cartridges.

I think a sugar cookie would fit perfectly in this box, now I just need to get a Cricut Cake so I can make matching cookies!

Hope you enjoy the videos...

Here is the finished treat box! I added a button to the ribbon...thought it needed a little something more!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Throw Back Thursday Challenge

Hi Crafters! Here is my entry for Emma's Throw Back Thursday challenge

The challenge this week is to create a "frame" using the cartridge Paper Doll Dress up..so the flower image is from Paper Doll Dress Up, using my gypsy I hid the small circle that was the center of the flower and added my own from George and Basic shapes. I welded the circle and the flower together and cut out of the hot pink cardstock. The center is yellow cardstock stamped with a stamp from Just Right Stamps. I hope this counts as a frame...

I added the ribbon to look like the leaves of the flower....

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Finally finished by Table Quilt

Hi Crafters! Well, I have finally finished by table quilt for fall. This is the first quilt I have actually machine quilted myself. I normally do the quilting by hand, but I purchased a new sewing machine last year and decided to try out the "free hand" sewing on the machine to do the quilting.

For my first time, I am happy with the results. I plan to make a few more of these and perfect the skill of machine quilting...it is challenging.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Episode 8 - Back to School Layout

Hi Crafters!!! Happy Saturday! I am soooo happy it is the weekend...now if we could just have some cooler weather!

Here is my Episode 8 in my video series using the Cricut and Gypsy. This week I am making a Back to School layout. My son and grandson have both gone back to school this week and my oldest grandson will be going back in 2 weeks...so I had to have a scrapbook page to celebrate this important day!

I am also entering this layout into Emma's at Throw Back Thursday challenge.

Hope you enjoy the layout and the video!

Here are some pictures of the final layout! Now I just need those pictures of my grandchildren to pop into the page!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!!

Project Tuesday - Treat Box

Hi Crafters! Today is Tuesday and we have a new project over at Project Tuesday.

This week we are making a Treat Box. I decided to make my box into a gift holder for my homemade pickles I have been making with all the cucumbers I have gotten from my garden.

I have given quite a few jars away this year and thought this would be soooo cute to put them in.

For my box, I am using SU Cardstock and Designer paper. I am using stamps from PTI that I just purchased at CHA! The stamp set is Friendship Jar, and they have the dies you can use in the Cuttlebug to cut out the shape of the jar and the lid decorations! I think they turned out soooo cute! I love this set!

Please stop by and check out the other Design Team members treat boxes this week, they are really sweet!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Episode 7 - Hippo Stand Up Card

Hi Crafters! I am back today with Episode 7 of my video series. This week I am making a stand up card. I know most of you have made a stand up card before, but this card is a little different. I saw this at CHA at a make-n-take booth and just loved it! So I thought I could create the same effect using my Gypsy!

Enjoy the videos....






Here is the finished card...

I still don't have my laptop back, so I am not able to upload the gypsy file yet...I hope I can do this later in the week.

Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful weekend!

Peachy Keen Challenge

Hi Crafters! Today I am participating in the Peachy Keen Challenge! I purchased some new stamps at CHA and couldn't wait to use them! I also purchased some of Kathy's super cute face's and I will be using those very soon!

For my card, I am using PTI Lemon Zest and Basic Black cardstock. I stamped the gingham using a stamp I purchased at a tradeshow last year, sorry I don't have the stamp name...this was actually the first time I have used this stamp...and I really like it! I used my Cricut to cut out the rectangle with rounded edges after I stamped on the cardstock and then cut 2 more sizes to layer. I also used my SU scallop edge punch on this card, as well as the small oval punch and scallop punch from SU.

The images are, of course, from Peachy Keen...the Bee Happy set! Don't you just love that little bee! He was so fun to color up with my Copics! Thanks Lorie for the personal tutorial using Copics you gave me at CHA! I just love your coloring!

I added white gel pen around the edges of the card and around the scallop. The ribbon and the button are both from PTI.

If you have a chance stop by the Peachy Keen site and check out the sketch challenge for this week!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
