Paper Rack

So I really needed some storage for my 8 1/2 Stampin' Up cardstock. I'm an extreme cheapskate, so I decided to make my own. I talked to my dad to make sure I could use his shop and tools. Well, when I arrived last Saturday, he had all the pieces made. I just had to paint and help him assemble it. I only had to by some trim for the front (which only cost me about $3.00) and my dad had scraps that he used for the rest. I have it home now and it is full already. I pre-warned my dad that I would have to make another one in the future. I didn't have the heart to tell him I could actually use one right now.

Thanks for looking,

4 Wheeler Brithday

I have a birthday coming up for a guy at work. He enjoys riding dirt bikes and 4 wheelers so it only seemed fitting to use one or the other. I used my Going Places Cartridge for the 4 wheeler. But this cartridge only has the base and shadow cuts. I cut the base out twice {in yellow and black} then cut the seat and tires from the black to add as layers to the yellow. The "Happy Trails" is also from Going Places, the mountain/hill in the background is from the Country Life Cartridge and the "Happy Birthday" inside is from A Child's Year.

Total Scraplift

For my next card, I really wanted to us my Campin' Critters Cartridge which I purchased a while ago and haven't used. I decided to go on line and try to get some inspiration. I came across a card made by Joy at Everyday Cricut. You can view her card by clicking here. I omitted the twine since I don't have any {hehe} and I also hand wrote my sentiments since I didn't have same stamps. So I don't usually do a total scraplift and when I was searching for ideas I didn't have that in mind either. But I just really liked that card so I decided to make it. I wasn't sure how it would turn out with my choice of papers from my stash, but I think it turned out good.

Yes another card using Cricut Imagine

For this one I used on of the bonus imagines from the Best Friends Cartridge. I cut an additional red ballon from 27 to add to the end of the left string...which didn't happen to have anything attached to it. The "Happy Birthday"is from A Child's Year Cartridge.

Hope you have a wonderful day,
Valerie

I'm having fun with my Imagine

So here is my second card using my Cricut Imagine. I'm having fun with it. I just wish I had access to the new Cricut Craft Room. After using Design Studio and the Gypsy for so many years, I really feel limited witht the imagine. I hope the CCR works better like all the hype they are attaching to it.

Thanks for stopping by,

Old Card, New Color

I made a sympathy card a while ago for a co-worker. I really like how it turned out so when I needed another sympathy card, I decided to go back to this design. The original was made using green tones. For this one as you can see I used blues. I like this one just as well.

Thanks for looking,

Yes Another Peachy Keen

Yes, yet another card using Create A Critter and my new Peachy Keen Stamps. I'm not real happy with how this card turned out. It is kinda plain, I just need to get back into the crafting groove. But I do love how the eyes on the owl turned out.

Owl be seeing you {hehe},
