Episode 125: Basketball Spinner Card

Hi Crafters! It was my nephews birthday and he is an avid basketball player so the thought I had was to make a spinner card where the basketball was going into the basket.  I usually use a Stampin' Up label punch to make spinner cards but I wanted it to curve so I had to think how to do that.  I thought, what about a smile?  :)  So I used the smile off of the Snow Friends Cricut Cartridge to make my curved shot.

He Shoots!

 He Scores!

Episode 119: Flower Cookie Card

Hi Crafters & Bakers! :)  It's the first Friday of the month which means its time for the Cookie Card Challenge between Georganne and I.  If you have no idea what I'm talking about it's a challenge that my cousin Georganne and I do together.  She is a baker and makes cookies and cakes.  The challenge is that I make a card off of one of her cookiess and she makes a cookie off of one of my cards. Super Fun!  :D

This is the cookie that I decided to create:

Super cute huh?  When I bookmarked this cookie on my computer over a year ago I thought that this would be a cute card.  You can see her post HERE.  This is my creation based off that cookie:

Here is a pic of the back of the card.  I didn't make a card that opens and closes.  It's like a postcard of sorts.  More details in the video.

Episode 105: Snowman Card and CCR Sizing Tutorial

Hi Crafters and Friends!  For this weeks Creative Critterz Imaginations blog post we are asked to use the Cricut Craft Room with our Imagines.  I LOVE using the CCR and my Imagine.  I now use my Imagine more than my Cricut Expression 2.  Which is shocking.  :)  Anywho, it's a lot of fun and the screen is a lot larger to play with.  One thing I had a real hard time with in the beginning is the sizing of the images.  I couldn't get my main images and my layers be the same size.  It was really frustrating.  I finally figured it out and made a little video explaining how to do it.  **Side note, it's my first time recording my screen, sorry it's not the best.  :) **

Here is my finished card:

Now remember today is the last day to submit an Imagine project to be on the CCI team.  I hope that everyone that has an Imagine and has the time signs up.  It's a lot of fun and it'll make you use your Imagine more.  :)

I'm also going to submit this card to my cousin's cookie blog, Lila Loa.  She is having a link up party right now.  Create a project using a snowman and share it w/ her on her blog.  Super fun.  :)  And her snowman cookies are ADORABLE!!!

Christmas Cards to my Nieces and Nephews

Here are the Christmas cards I made for my nieces and nephews. I'm holding on putting up my siblings cards just in case they check this site out. :)

This is what I put on the inside. I just LOVED this stamp. It came from stampingbella.com. My dogs were just too close to looking like this for me to NOT get it. :) Then I of course HAD to put my tithing message in there. It's what I do for their Christmas and birthday cards. If I forget you can believe that I hear about it. :D
