Yappy Easter

After finishing all the Easter goodies to place in my daughters' packages to be mailed, I was looking through my Cricut sample views to find an idea for my hubby.  When I came to the Paper Pups page, I found the perfect card for my dog-training, hunting hubby.

The only extras I added were the baker's twine (one of my new favorite things) and some hand-cut grass.

My Cricut Sample View sheets had to be moved into a 3" binder!!!!  I'm thinking that when it comes selecting cuts, I have a LOT of choices - LOL.  Thank goodness I began early on placing the sample sheets from Cricut.com in binder sleeves and keeping them organized.  I'd never remember which cartridges I have, let alone the cuts.  This is a great solution for those of us who don't have Iphones or Ipads to store such info.

Tomorrw I'll begin sharing some of the Easter things I made to send to my girls.  They may be young adults, but they still want their Easter surprises.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

A Weekend Full of Projects!

I started scrapping Friday night at Monique Griffith's crop and continued at home all day Saturday and Sunday.   Whew, I had so many ideas and projects - I just kept going and going like the Energizer Bunny.
To begin with, my daughter requested some Valentine cards that she could send out and also an altered composition book for the other assistant coach who is also her workout partner and good friend.  I think they're using the books for their food and workout journals.  I'll share these today.

The "love" hearts were cut from Paper Pups.  I added a gem to the O.   I used Lyrical Letter to cut the name on the composition book.

Stay tuned for more.  I have a notecard set with a cute holder, a birthday card made from Nifty Fifties, and a Sweet Treats Party set - a kit designed by Monique Griffith.  They will all be posted this week. 

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

Layout - DisneyWorld Marathon Weekend

As I mentioned in my first post, I'm making an album for my daughter who ran the DisneyWorld Marathon in 2009.  This page is the beginning of her adventure as she and her roommate fly from Illinois to Florida.
For this layout, I used Potpourri for the plane and US map, Just Because Cards for the title to which I welded the mouse ears from Mickey Font, and Paper Pups for the clouds.  I designed the entire page on my Gypsy. The plane was embossed with Diamond Plate, and the clouds with Divine Swirls.  The journal tag is a stamp and the mickey heads are punched.  This album is definitely a work in progress - she sent me over 100 pictures!!!  I'm thinking of making an envelope mini-album to store the pictures that aren't used in the album.  What do you think?
