I Love You

Over on UKS there is a monthly card challenge, this month's challenge is to either make a Valentines cards using non-traditional colours, or to make a card using traditional valentines colours for a non-Valentines card, or of course you could do both. I decided to go with the first one. I used downloadable papers from Funky Fairys, i just love this colour combo. I used my Cricut for the die cuts. (Mini Monos for the scalloped circle, Doodlecharms for the hearts, and Jasmine for the corners).

I'm not good at this blogging lark.....

I forget about it until i get notification of a comment that's been left, so thank you to anyone who has left me a comment as it prompts me to post an entry.

I've not done much in the way of crafting lately, but i actually made a card using the Cricut Design Software last week, and even did a LO, the first one since October last year. (shocking).

Anyway, here are said projects,

I love the Cricut design studio software!

This piece of software is amazing, you can weld anything to anything!

I've just found out there's an amazing contest on the Bitten by the bug blog, to make a shaped birthday card, so i'm gonna enter this.

Here's a handbag card i made by welding two handbags from the Doodlecharm cart. The flower luggage label is from Fab finds, and the flower is from Mini monos and the name is welded using Base camp. I used loads of stickles and made it it's own little box too.

It's 2008!

I know it's a bit late but Happy new Year to all who (if anyone) reads this blog.

I've spent my $300 gift voucher on 5 new Cricut carts and a few bottles of stickles. I placed my order on the 28th December, and it arrived on the 4th January, now hows that for speedy service? Thank you Hallmarkscrapbook.com.

I've made a couple of cards this week, one for my teamie on UKS, who has had a gorgeous baby boy, and another for my Nephew, who will be 2 years old on Thursday. I've used Basic Grey papers and various cuts from Cricut carts on both. Here they are,

WOOOHOOO I WON!!!!!!

Over at Hallmarkscrapbook.com they were running a contest to win an Cricut Expression or a $300 gift voucher to spend in their store. I entered my 12 Days of Christmas exploding box (see previous post), and i'm delighted to say, i just had an email to tell me i won! I'm so over the moon, there were loads of awesome entries, and they chose me. Thank you Jody and Brad, i'm so looking forward to spending my voucher. I am a very happy bunny, this has really made my year. :)

12 Days of Christmas

I bet i'm not the only one who forgets how many Lords are leaping or swans are swimming, so to help me remember i've made this exploding box. I've used BG Figgy Pudding pp's and 38 different cuts from JOS Cricut cart. I sure remember it now, as i was singing away to myself whilst i was making it.

More Christmas cards...

Here's two more Christmas cards i've made this week.

The first is another one for the 'bling' card challenge, and the other is an acetate embossed card, (which are the hardest cards ever to photograph).

Can't beat a bit of bling......

especially when it's on a Christmas card. On UKS there is a monthly card making challenge, this month was to create a card with a bit of bling , so here's my effort. I used my beloved Cricut Expression and the fab Joys of the Season cart, and of course lots of bling (Stickles and gems).

My Son was so made up with the comments he got about his card, so thanks to all that commented. I now need to keep my bestest stash under lock and key, as he's itching to make more cards.

Isn't he a clever boy!

It Hubby's BDay today, and as i shared the card i made for him in an earlier post i thought i'd share the card our 11 year old Son made him too. I let him loose in my craft room, (i only gave him my scraps box though, i'm not that daft!) and away he went, he even dug out a greeting stamp and die cut himself a tag. I think he's gifted in the art of card making. He just loves it, and has had some cards published in the past, but he never got them returned, so that's put him off submitting again.

woohoo!

Look what i got! thanks Anna. xxx
