Clown B-day

Here is a quick card, I made using the paper doll dress up cart. Some balloon stickers from Hobby Lobby,  and card stock from Michael's. Clown was printed with the Imagine.I will be entering this on the Die Cuttin Divas page.

I'm BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my where has the time gone. Well, I was away for a minute because I had a ton of events to get ready for. First, I graduated Aug. 13 with a Master Degree in Health Administration. So glad that is over, and I am proud to say I obtained a 4.0 GPA. Next was back to school for my daughter. She is in the 8th grade this year and in all double honor courses. So, we had to design her book cover, notebooks, and folders. Not to mention she is also a very talented flute player. That means more lessons and fundraisers. Finally I had to reset my mind to get ready for health information manger course work for the next 6 months to get my certification.

Crafting was my relief from all of that. I just forgot to post what I had been doing still getting used to this. So, I am back with lots of craft projects and some new machines and items that I received for graduation, ( Cricut Imagine and Cinch Binding Machine to name a few.

M.A.G. Challenge 40

Another challenge with M.A.G. this week and it is another cart that I have but haven't really used. So this was a bit of a challenge. I decided to make a 8x8 layout using the shadow piece and the back drop for my picture.

Back to School

Here is a quick card, I put together using the 3 Birds on Parade cart and an image from my new baby the Cricut Imagine. I made these cards for my daughter, nephew and nieces who are returning to school this week. I plan to post more of the back to school projects I have made in the last week like book covers, notebook covers, and book marks.

First Easel Card

I had no idea what an easel card was until I happened upon the challenge at Celebrate the Occasion. The challenge this week is to create a birthday theme card that must be an easel. Well, after viewing a how-to video on YouTube, this is my first creation using only a small tag from the lacy label cart. The paper is from DCWV and flowers from Michael's. I am now excited to make many more easel cards.

M.A.G. Challenge 39

Well, it is that time again for another challenge. I decided to make a bookmark for my daughter. School just started back this Monday, and I enjoy making book covers, book-markers and decorating her notebooks and binders. The challenge was to use page 89 from the tags, bags, boxes and more cart.

Party Gifts

I had purchased the Xyron Creative Station a while ago but had not really used it. I decided that as gifts to the other children at day care, my son and I would make some magnets and some counting hippos for the children to play with. After cutting the monkeys and Poohs, we used the creative station to turn them into magnets. It  was so quick and easy with placing the magnet material on the back of the cuts. I now want to make more things with it.

Next we cut out 50 hippos to make 5 counting rings 1-10 and laminated them suing the Yourstory.

These three items were done in less than two hours. I put each cricut machine to work  to handle a specific item. My sister stopped by and said that it was Cricut madness going on at my house. Nevertheless, I got the job done with time to watch Rio with my son and daughter.
