I can do all things through Christ

My hubby requested I make a card for one of his coworkers. He is a Godly man and I had the perfect stickers from the paper studio found at Hobby Lobby.  I used the rustic stack by dcwv and the cardstock is dcwv also.  The tree and sun were cut using the graphically speaking cricut cart. The flower rub ons are Basic Grey. In my opinion there aren't enough scrapbooking goodies with Scripture so I love that I found this kit. Tfl!

Thank you card

Here is another card I made yesterday for a friend of mine. She wanted a set of cards so she can mail them out when needed. She likes different color combinations and wanted a simple card. She chose the background paper she wanted which is from the green stack by dcwv. I embossed the die cut with the cuttlebug dots folder and I cut the die cut and sentiment using the Storybook cart for the cricut. Tfl!

2010 Halloween cards

Every year I send my niece and nephews Halloween cards. This year one of the ladies from my church lent me the new solutions cartridges for the cricut. So here is what I came up with. The Halloween pp is Recollections and so is the cardstock. The bottom pic is the inside of the trick or treat card and the Beware on black card. Tfl!

A New Opportunity!

The opportunity came my way to be an SDU instructor! Scrapbook Design & You is a course that is offered through local retailers and offers classes that teach the basic design and the fundamentals for great scrapbook pages. I'll be teaching at the Michael's in Humble TX. The schedule is TBA right now more details to come! I'm so happy that I can teach something I love doing and that the Lord let me be at a place in my life that I can do this.

Halloween 2009

I captured this picture when my boys were crossing the street to their Grandma's house to show off their costumes. It was such a cute moment! I love all things Halloween and found the paper used at Michael's in the clearance aisle! I was pretty excited, lol It is My Mind's Eye The Spider's Web collection. They had about 5 different papers that had print front and back for like 39 cents a piece so I was pretty happy about that! My cricut got a workout on this layout too. I used the Storybook cartridge to cut the journaling block and the polka dot frames. I used the plantin schoolbook cartridge to cut the tags. The ribbon is from Wal-Mart and was $1.00. Oh and I used the gypsy with the storybook font and welded the word sweet to the accent frame. Hope you like it, I was pretty pleased with this one I decided to frame it and use it as a decoration this year. :)

My first Halloween project for 2010!!

I've been holding myself back from decorating my house for Halloween until Oct 1st.  It has been very hard since I love Halloween! Not the super scary stuff, just the playful,imaginative and all the awesome decorations! I made this card from a prompt from the Fabulous website www.moxiefabworld.com! I love paper crafts magazine so I love the blogs too! On September 9th they challenged everyone to make a card,layout,giftbag,home decor...ok basically anything using offset scallops. Officially it's the MOXIE WORLD CHALLENGE OFFSET SCALLOP GALLOP...(their cute names crack me up) you can still enter if you want or dare {insert diabolical laugh here} you have until Oct 4th at midnight to enter...so here's my take a spooky house..the roof made of offset scallops..I love my little felt pumpkin! The spider and sentiment are studio g stamps..awesome since they are wood and only a buck!! Tfl and I hope you play along!

Little Artist

I came across these pictures last night as I was going through my files. It's amazing how many emotions you can go through while looking through photos. I saw these and immediately had to scrap them! Shane has always been the one that is so quirky...he cracks me up! This basic grey paper seemed so fitting...The journaling reads: Shane, my dear son have kept us on our toes & have kept us laughing! From your backwards mismatched shoes to your crazy curls on your head! September 7,2008.  Tfl!
