First Class!!

Hi Everybody! I will be holding my first official class on May 2nd. The location will be in Rancho Cucamonga. We will be making a stationary box with cards and tags to go inside. And since this is an ideal Mother's Day present, we will be making a gift card to give with the present. The majority of these will be made with the Cricut using various cartridges. If anyone is interested, please post a comment, and I will get you more information. I will post pictures after the event to show how much fun we had! Thanks, and hope everyone had a chance to craft today!

Anyone want to Swarm?

I would really be interested in getting a bunch of Cricuts (the die cut machines, not the bugs!) together. (They call it a Swarm for anyone who doesn't know.) So for anyone who is interested, I live in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Leave a post if you are intersted or know anyone who would might be interested. Thanks. Look forward to making this happen! Until next time :)

Newest Projects

I made this page for a challenge for a class. We were only to use scraps, so it was definitely a challenge!



Sorry for the poor quality of the picture. I couldn't find my USB cable to upload from my camera, so I had to use my camera phone. The title says "Born 3rd-Never 3rd Place". The base paper is printed with baby definitions. I had a big scrap of pink for the color block. For the line of flowers going down between the two pictures, I used printed scraps, & a flower punch. The flower stem was cut with a wavy paper trimmer, & I traced it with a black pen. The leaves were a heart punch cut in half.


I also wanted to share my latest creation I made for a friends son's birthday party.

He was having a golf birthday party, so I made these centerpieces for him. I love any chance I have to use my Cricut, so I was excited to be able to make these. I used the Sports Mania cartridge. It was perfect for this project! There are so many options on that cartridge, and so many different sports. I bought it just for this project, so I am hoping I have the opportunity to use it much more! And not only is the color green, but it's also environmentally green! I recycled by using baby formula cans for the base. They were the perfect size.
One last thought for the day. How many of you are midnight scrappers/crafters like me? I am naturally a night person, so once my 3 little princesses (for the most part :P )go to bed, that's when I really get going. Just curious. Ok, hope everyone had a chance to craft today. Until next time!

So excited!!



Hi Everybody. I am so excited to finally get a blog going. I recently took an online class, and the interaction was so great, and positive, it finally gave me the push to start my own blog. Here is one layout I did for that class.

I hope to have lots of layouts, cards, ideas, and lots of other stuff up very soon. I can't even say how excited I am to be able to share, and talk about all things crafting! (And whatever else interesting that comes up!) Look forward to hearing from everyone!
