card #6

Good morning to all,  Happy Good Friday and Early Happy Easter!!!!  I Love this time of year! the sun feels so good even though the air is still a bit cool..and there is plenty of snow on the ground, the trees have been tapped, so the guys are ready to go when the trees start running
this card was a lot of fun to make with this cute paper background...

Have a wonderful weekend! and a very Happy Easter!

Card # 5

Good Morning to all, The sun is shining brightly into my craft room this lovely morning....

Wow! this card, what to say about it!   It was a challenge with all the tiny pieces and it was even cut at 4 inches.  I must have use the wrong brown, because it shred to pieces and had to remove and clean the cutter from all the fibers wrapped around the blade. So I went to the rust orange.  so glad this one is done!
I did not want to ink all those tiny piece, so I did enough for the look!

cards # 3 and 4

good morning to all, I had this saved on my DS and made 4. Need to restock my note cards and who doesn't like a cool chick! the one on the right lost its leg so I added some grass to cover it up!

 I took Jacob's card apart and will add this one to Ruthann's basket....

card #2

Hi all, Over at BBTB2 they have a challenge to use a cricut card feature. So I went through my cartridges and since I wanted to make a card with a fish on it for the fund raiser, found this one in life is a beach. I don't remember making this type of card before, my design studio came in handy with this card for sizing., would not have be able to with out it! the first one was a royal pain, but the 2nd went together like a charm!

 

after making the first on I noticed that it should have a water line in the bowl

so for the 2nd I created one, it is not on the cartridge but made one with my DS

gift basket #1

Hi all, Sunday at church I was talking to my over worked girlfriend who was explaining to me how she has to put a gift basket together for a auction. (her son is going to Texas this summer and it is a fund raiser for him)
Knowing she is not the crafty type I offered to put together a basket of cards for her. much to my surprise she excepted my offer. (she is not the type to except such offers)
this is my first(decided to make 2, one for her and one for my stash)

Happy New Year!

Britt's Sale at Church

Because of school being canceled last week because of the winter blizzard. We had to hold off a week
to sell cards.  We sold 9 which I think is really good for being so close to Christmas.
And I also gave one to a good friend of mine, so 10 are gone.

Here are a few pictures.....I know some Jeannie cards sold, everyone loved the cardinal's and a Valentine card which I also think is a Jeannie card...
                                      Here is Brittany smiling so pretty for me
                         she is 14 and about 5 inches taller than me, she likes looking down to me!

                                                           and the table of cards, sorry about the glare

                                   and our advertisement, I was in a hurry so I comp printed it!

Thanks for looking, and if you see your card, thank you for the wonderful card for me to copy
I am hoping that I can have another sale come spring, Britt has a good start toward her trip.

this will be my last post until after Christmas, My daughter and son-in-law are coming home  this Sunday for Christmas and I have some cleaning up to do around here. I am getting so excited, they have not been home for Christmas in 8 years. And we have a cookie baking day  set aside.

So, HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL AND SAFE NEW YEAR.
