Cuttlebug Quilling set

Last weekend my friend Jann and I went to the Rubber Stamp and Scrapbooking Expo, had a lot of fun. worn out from walking to much. Probably just way out of shape, I need to walk more so I am ready for the CK Convention, which is much bigger. 

Well I had fun and I bought a few things, I bought this Cuttlebug Quilling set. I only made one flower so far, Took me a little to figure it out, but I think it looks right. I guess I need to make a few more. I hope to get the other flower as well.

New card I made

I made this card for a challenge but didn't get time to upload it to the site. So I decided to still post my card. 

I used Mothers Day Bouquet and Storybook  Cricut Cartridges. I also used the Cuttlebug and the stamp and papers are CTMH.

CH#16 & BLOG HOP! BIRTHDAY BASH

Well when I first saw that the challenge was for Birthday Bash I thought Yeah!! But then I didn't really like this one of the bunny, but after looking at it and deciding what to use I came up with this and thought yes I like this one and I think this will make a great Birthday card, and possible cute for an Easter Layout.

What I used:

Papers, ink, bling and ribbon is all from Close to My Heart.

The Stamp is from Pink By Design.

The Challenge is from Flaunt It Fridays.

Cricut Cartridges used: Birthday Bash, Paperdolls Every day, Create a Critter.

CH# 14 - TWINKLE TOES-Flaunt It Fridays

Well this weeks challenge for Flaunt It Fridays was using the cartridge Twinkle Toes, one that I do not have, surprised  but I don't have all the cartridges. LOL I decided to use the Paper dolls for Every Day.

I used Close To My Heart paper, Stardust Glitz, my Gypsy, which I also used the weld the letters in Dance, which I used the Ashyn's Alphabet. Irock and Stickles.

Cub Scouts

Here are two Cub Scouts I made for our Blue & Gold. I made them really simple because I made about 20 of them. 

I used the Every day Paper dolls.

My Favorite Thing

Well the other night at church, they had asked each of us our favorite thing or things, well I have plenty of course, I have my family and friends and all my animals. I have my Cricut, my scrapbooking supplies, my camera, my computer and all my papercraft friends. But as I was thinking I also remembered that every day I use this step stool for my feet under my work desk. This was made  by my son Justin who passed away in September 2005. He made is in high school wood working class. I remember he didn't really like the teacher in this class, but I was so happy when he made this. I have this everyday to remind me that he is still here with me and I will see him again. I really miss my son Justin and really wish he didn't have to leave us at such a young age. RIP my Son Justin I love you so much.

FIF #13 - TAGS, BAGS, BOXES & MORE

This is my Flaunt it Friday challenge. This one was hard because I haven't used the Tags,Bags, boxes & More cartridge before. I wasn't really even sure how to find it on my Gypsy. So I found a video on YouTube, gotta love Youtube and found how to make it. I made the size to fit a gift card in it. Will make a great gift box for someone. Haven't decided yet who to give it. The flower is also from the same cart. The paper is CTMH.
