SILVERDALE CROP TODAY!

Today is the Silverdale crop. I really wanted to make it a swarm but didn't get the info to Cricut in time. Next time I will. So with or without your cricut come to the Silverdale crop! It's from 10am to 5:30pm. SEE YOU THERE!

Birthday Slider Card

My friend had a birthday and Robyn had a challenge: Make something for a friend. I made this birthday card for my friend Rose. I really liked Robyn's cocoa slider so I made it into a card. The Dahlia flower I learned from here. I don't have any circle punches so I used my Gypsy and Cricut. The nice thing about using my cricut instead of circle punches is that I don't have to do so much work!




Here is a closeup of the Dahlia flower:





I used Gypsy Font for the sentiment, George and Basic Shapes for the Dahlia and I need to remember which cart for the Flourish. The paper is bazzill. The patterned paper is from Close To My Heart. In the middle of the Dahlia is a bead similar to Dew Drops.

New email me button!

I got inspired by Robyn and had to create my own cartoon character. I then realized I didn't have an "email me" button so I put the two together! Just click on my cartoon (right side, scroll down) and you can email me! Here's a pic of my cartoon I wish she looked a little more like me but....:

NEXT SATURDAY!!!

Inchies

I have not blogged in over a week! I thought for sure this would be something I could do daily. It's hard! Before blogging my crafts I could create like nobody's business but now I have like "crafters block". I did finish up some inchies for a swap so I will at least post those. These were super simple thanks to my Cricut! An "inchie" is an inch block or shape decorated however you want. These are great embellishments for just about any paper craft. The theme that I just finished were "school inchies" Next I will finish up "birthday inchies". I joined a swap for these so I made 50 of the same ones and will get back 1 of mine and 49 other ones. This was a big swap! Swaps are fun because you get to see other peoples talent and it feels good to make something and KNOW all your hard work will be appreciated. Here are the "school" inchies:


Blackboard with an apple and chalk:







This one is a notebook paper and pencil. I printed the blue lines on the paper with Microsoft Publisher then cut it out with my cricut. The pencil I cut out with my C then colored it with crayola colored pencils and then covered it with Glossy Accents.





~Enjoy~

Email Subscription 2

Testing to see if I get my email subscriptions. I haven't been getting them with the widget I have so I decided to try feedburner directly to see if this corrects the problem. If it does (I'll let you know) you will need to re-subscribe with the new email subscription box, I deleted the old one.

Back bug flourish thinner version

I do not really like the flourish on the back of my bug because it's too thick. For those that agree with me I made it thinner. If you like the thick one you can download that one still too. I'll post pics of the both.

This is the thick flourish




This is the thinner flourish:
