Jason's bd card

good morning to all, It has been awhile since I last made a card, just to hot upstairs in my craft room...
this was a quick and easy card to put together, I saw someone use Martha Stewart punch on a different card with 3 punched stripes and I thought it would be a great way to use up some of my scrapes... I think it looks great as water.......

I cut the strips of paper  to 1/1/2 inches by  7 inches to get them to line up right..
camp out fish is at 3 1/2 inches

grab and cut #2

good morning to all,  well we did not get the 4 to 8 inches of snow yesterday like the weather man was talking about, but it was a nasty slippery day. It is snowing like crazy once again and the snow might have been delayed a day.
for this card I did ask my daughter to pick a cartridge and she choose Country Life... the girl on the tractor and the tractor must be red! I am also using only scraps for these cards and glad to be doing it that way.

grab and cut

Good morning to all, Well this morning I woke up to 2 inches of heavy wet snow on the ground...I am so ready for spring!!
You might be thinking "grab and cut"????
I decided to shake things up a bit and without looking I  grabbed a cartridge and I must make a cut from it.... well I grabbed Life is a Beach and thought now what? so I went with the bamboo, the first cut, and thought... I did not say the entire card had to be from that cartridge, so I added this cute panda bear from create a critter, I also had to use from my scrap pile  and there's a lot there...next time I think I will let my daughter pick out a cartridge.

                                  Not bad, if I may say so myself!

More note cards

Hi all, I figured I better get started on some card for Church for the fall Plum Shoppe,  I have not given anything to it in awhile. this year no excuses, I started early enough,,,,
I made 12 more of the apple cards like yesterday  and used more scraps up!

note cards

good morning to all,  after yesterdays sympathy card I decided just to use up some scrapes and make some note cards....I really need to use more scrapes up....

note cards

good morning    I gave these note cards to my girlfriend for her birthday
have to give credit to    
chris416ward  ( the purple)  and      ruthean  ( the birds on a fence) I welded the 2 together on my DS
I found them both on you tube   under   cricut songbird cartridge
made from all scraps

 I had one box left from Christmas and added front with her initial   on it...

WOW...18 note cards yesterday!!!

Jeannie Phillips fishy and Ally Egass' chicken and another chicken from my kitchen....

I made 10 of these little guys to add to my pile for Christmas and other gift giving occasions that always seem to come up,  I have always liked this cute fish of Jeannie's and thought I would give it a try, I had it on my DS for a long time and was in a low mojo moment yesterday,   and then made 10 of these....
lots of inking, layers,doodling,

 I made 4 of Ally's   you will find hers at...

I don't remember seeing this cute little chicken in from my kitchen, but I do think I will be making her more..
I am not sure what sentiment I will add under the chicken, will add later...these are 4 1/4 square with the chicken extending over the card to make a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch card....I used all scraps for these, 
inking,

I also found this chicken in FMK and made 4 of these also....made these with all scraps, it is like pot luck!!!
I think the stripes are so cute....inking cuttlebug

I no longer finish the inside of note cards, when I made them last year, when I put the gifts together I noticed that there was not much space for writing, so I am leaving them blank, it also frees me up a lot!!!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR LOOKING,  I hope you get a chance to look at Jeannie and Ally's, they are worth the look

mojo monday # 183 and fantabulous cricut

I normally do not get 2 challenges from card, but this time it worked out!!
Mojo Monday's sketch and Fantabulous cricut wanted a birthday theme
since it is for a man and he like fishing I went with it...

quilts of different colors

HI over at  Cardz TV   Mary had a way to use up scraps and make quilts out of them. So far I only made the quilt and made many changes to mine, they still need to be made into card so here is a look at mine so far.....

lots of one inch squares, and I have more ready to go.... as you can see above I also used


and scored at 1 1/8 inch on the back side for another look....yup... this was a lot of work!!!
