Fishing or Crafting?

That is the question of the day....

I am having so much fun hanging out here in Michigan with my friend and co-founder of Papercraft Star, Beth!! We have been hanging out, shopping, crafting, watching movies, and laughing. We were just sitting here trying to decide if we want to go fishing or craft some more tomorrow. I think crafting might just win the vote!

We are going to work on downloading some pictures tonight so I can share a few on here with you guys. I hope you are all having a fantastic week!

My First Project as a Tiffany Girl!

Hi there!
I can't tell you how excited I am to be a part of the Scrap Tiffany DT!
Our first challenge was to do a "self portrait". HHmmm..ya know I have quite a few sides to my "self", I am a Gemini ya know. So, choosing something to described myself was pretty interesting. Rick and I have been talking about retirement A LOT recently. One of our dreams is to have a hobby farm. Rick likes to have a garden for fruits and veggies and he likes to hunt for meat (we eat Elk most of the time). Me, I like... no make that LOVE animals. I want chickens for eggs, goats for milk/cheese/weed eaters/pets, and maybe a few more dogs. ( I only say "maybe" about more dogs for Rick's benefit....we will have more dogs..he he)

Okay, enough with the blah blah blah, here is my layout.

Be sure to head on over to Scrap Tiffany and see what the other DT members have created and join in the challenge!

Cuttlebug Challenge #90

When I saw that the Cuttlebug Challenge was an easel card, I was all in. So instead of hanging out with my husband last night, I retreated to my craft room. He was so cute, he would come up every once in a while and peek over my shoulder. For some reason he is amazed by what all my gadgets can do :)

I had a lot of fun with this one! I got to play with my new Live Simply Cricut Lite cartridge, I tried out a few new techniques, and finally use more of this great paper by K&Co.

Thanks for stopping by my little piece of the world!

New Do = New You!

Hi there!

I've got some projects in the works and I hope to have them posted here for you in the next few days.
But for today I wanted to share the "new me" with you. Last week I decided to chop my hair off!!
I really needed a change. I do this every few years or so :)

This is a picture of Carson and I taken on Saturday at a neighbor's party. We had a great time!!

I hope you are having a great day!!

I did it!!

I finally made something! Can you believe it? I was hoping that getting a new cartridge (or two) would help me out.

I made this card with the Cricut Lite "Bloom" cartridge, hand cut grass, stamped butterfly image, copic markers, and my Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder. 

The butterfly stamp is stampin up, but I don't know the name of it. I colored it in with my copic markers and then attached some black thread for the antenna. I cut the little flower blossoms out in white and colored those with copics too. I have been having a lot of fun practicing my coloring, quite different than a box of crayons!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It's about time...

It's about time I get my head back in the game!! HELLO......I'm mean, could life slow down a little? Who can I call about that, I'd like to file a complaint.

Okay, seriously, I have not been crafting in over a week. I've started some things but I haven't finished one of them. But today is the day. I went shopping last night and got 2 of the new Cricut lite carts and I even had a "light bulb" moment in the hot tub looking at the back cover of a magazine my husband was reading! Funny how inspiration can hit outta nowhere.

I apologize for not having anything for you to look at recently, but that will change here real soon!

On to another topic, Papercraft Star. Today is the start of the very 1st challenge!! Have you been over there yet? What are you waiting for? Make sure to stop by, get your project linked up, and visit our forum. Lot's of great stuff!!

I hope you are having a great day!
