Playing with the Cricut

These are elements of the Sweet Treats cartridge.  I think it is one of my favs.  I only have a few so a newbie is talking here but I just got a new one from Close to My Heart and i want to try it out on you guys.  It is called Art Philosophy and I am going to try it out this weekend.  Really.  

Playing with the Cricut

This is the Sweetheart Close to my Heart paper.  I am playing with the Cricut expression and using the Sweet Treat cartridge.  Hard to get time these days but if I can get one in every once in a while I am a happy crafter.  

Friendship Jar with brushes

I love this Friendship jar. It comes with so many parts. I wish I had time to make one a day.  I just got a Cricut expression for Mother's day so I have a new top to play with.  Then yesterday I went to my friend Lisa's house.  She is an amazing beader. She is teaching Beth and myself how to do the square stitch, so when I get a few more rows done I will post that.  Thanks for peeking.  

Funny One brush looks like it is cut in half.

I am having fun with the Friendship jar from Papertrey Ink.  I WISH I had more time to play with my crafting, but I am happy with what I get done.  I have 3 grandchildren that are a big part of my life.  They are first and crafting is there in the background.  Soon they will be helping me with all my little projects,  file:///Users/evemendes/Desktop/IMAG0727.jpg

Friendship Jar

This is my first Friendship jar,  I have wanted this stamp set for over a year and was too cheap to buy it.  I am going to celebrate 30 years of marriage on the 26th, so I decided to buy it as a gift to myself.  I am so glad I did now.  It has so many options.  This is a great stamp set.  

Copics Copics Copics

This is the Friendship Jar set from Papertrey.  This design is my Michelle Wooderson.  I love the sets.  They all have many different items to place in your jar.  I am looking forward to an entire pantry of Friendship jars.  I did use some of the FY1 Fluorescent on the tips of the flower petals.  I doodles one petal on the floor.  I love to doodle at least one thing on each card.  That way I can be sure no one else has the same card.

Crepe Paper flowers with Tim Holtz distress ink

I have been making Crepe paper flowers all week.  I watched a video on the Martha Stewart site and it was so easy, I could not resist.  I added some Tim Holtz distress ink and some fancy stamen that I purchased at Michaels.  First I used the flower soft wires and crepe paper for the stamen.  I have been trying new color combos.  My fav is the white with Lipstick ink.

Birthday Celebration for my 85 year old Mother-in-law.

This is a page from a little book I made for my mother-in-law.  I  made 8 of these little books and they took forever.  I am moving slower lately with all the colds in the family but anyway.  I will post more later.  Mostly used CTMH stamps and Time Holts inks.

Tag with lace and flowers

I enhanced this card with Liquid pearls from Ranger Industries.  I drew out the leaves on the ribbon.  It actually stuck a lot better than I thought it would.  I also colored in the area with Copic markers.  I used the liquid pearls in each of the flowers also.  The doodles on the paper are my test leaves.

This little guy has been helping me with my scrapbooking so it has been twice the fun for me.  Also taking a bit longer to get things done so please be patient with me.  More to come soon.
