Cards Ahoy!

 

This is my favorite card! I love the new Thrift Shop Paper from October Afternoon. This was made as a Mother's Day card for one of my co-workers who is newly married and her mother-n-law is a seamstress. (She has even been published in Sew Beautiful...AHHHHHH)

Cake everywhere!!

Wow... I just have to say that each day that goes by I love my cricut more and more! I made a bunch of Mother's Day Cards and took them to work...sold them all asap and got requests for more! I could hardly believe it!!! Wish I'd taken pics of the first batch, but I'll def take pics of the next one...some B'day card requests were made as well so I'll have some goals to complete this weekend. I also want to get another youtube vid finished and I should have time for that as well. This has been an exciting week all around!!

I won the new Birthday Cake cartridge from Everyday Cricut I really enjoy their daily tutorials and seeing the actual cuts from mostly carts I don't have. I am even more exicited about the cart I won because we went to the circus last week and I was lamenting not having a circus tent minibook or one that I could cut with my bug....WHA LA or "ask and you shall receive" because lo and behold there's the cutest little circus tent on there!!! So now I'm stalking my mailbox!

I also discovered the Cuttlebug Challenge blog. I don't have the Cuttlebug, but I love their embossing folders! I run mine through my Big Shot (side note DH just noticed my Big Shot this week, asked me what it did and commented on the amount of stuff I have LOL). Anyway they are giving away a Cake! So if you want it, drop on by here, if you don't want it, sign up and my b'day is in May...I'll take it :)

Sharing is scary...in your pj's!!!

Oh I have to tell you. I know most of you (or several of you anyway) know I am obsessed with UnKit Live every Monday night. The past few weeks, the after party has been at Vokle and lemme tell you it is uber cool! I'm gonna have to try and find out how to not feel so unfamiliar with it (read this as learn to use it...LOL). I've been sharing projects at the after party and it's really fun...I still need to work out that stage left from actual left with the camera but woo hoo...I did it!
I also think the best part is since I watch UnKit in my pj's usually then that's what everyone sees LOL...but the projects are cool anyways :). I need to finish and do a vid on the project I showed last night. I'll work on that today and Wednesday because the book has to go back to the scrapstore to be shown off again on Thursday (I promised a friend she could see it).

Another New thing for me!!

Monkey Baldinger

 


After many sad trials and tribulations my co-worker Robin finally achieved her goal of becoming pregnant! The parents are so happy with their little Monkey and Brandon Baldinger will be here before we know it! I wanted to do something a little special and as she doesn't scrap very much (she made on album several years ago and that's it). I decided to give her a nudge to the scrappy side with a LO of her sonogram photos featuring some fantastic Bungle Jungle and some Cricut Cuts from Plantin Schoolbook. Almost all of these things are held with glue dots for dimension or mini glue dots (see the ribbon vine!) I think this LO is so bright and beautiful...and I really love it! There is a "hidden" tag for journalling behind the top photo for any special message from the parents to Brandon. Right now this LO is hanging in the Nursery which is an honor to me!

It's almost time for me to be "normal" again.

So sorry folks. I know i get sketchy on my posting when school is in session and this semester has been even worse because of the additional class along with all the training I've been doing at work. I really love working in the kennel, but I tried to get them to tell me if I was going to be doing all this training BEFORE I paid to take a second class...oh well. Anyway I have pics in the camera...I am doing stuff and I promise more vids etc before long. April 4th is the date I have to have taken my final and I'm trying to get there...really I am. Thanks so much for not dropping me. And if you know someone who did, that's ok too. I've been really dull lately and I know it. Hugs!!!

So Exciting!!

Yay! I got to review one of my favorite things for Unkit. Go check it out. If you like kit clubs at all Unkit is one of the coolest around. Oh I also have been chosen as a Guest designer at Above Rubies Studio, but I'll give you more details on that as I get them myself. Right now head over to Unkit and check out the video and give me some feedback LOL!!
