G-45 T'was the Night before Christmas Kit

Hi everyone,

I went with Mom to the Scrapbook Expo in June and bought a couple of G45 Pinecone Press
mini album kits.  These are not for beginners and was a lot of fun to do.  I am not quite finished yet but here is what I have so far.

DSD's scrapbook

Here are a few pics of DD's scrapbook from 6 years ago!  Today is my 6th year anniversary as a Circlette!

Wow!  Dig those colors and picture frames!

Like the pinwheels and creativity

My first cricut cuts-eek!

Skills improved at end of book!

Used alot of ribbon as frames!  Colorful but EEK!

NSD Winner for Pin It Challenge!

Thanks to Colleen for picking my name to be the Pin It Challenge winner!  My envelope came the other day and inside was:

A gorgeous gray kitty card and a Michael's gift card!  Yeah!  Can't wait to use my gift card and do some shopping!  I just love this card that Colleen made for me-especially since it has a picture of my gray kitty-Graycie on it!  I am going to put this card into Graycie's scrapbook that I am working on.  This card is so creative and just love the colors she used.

Thanks again Colleen!  I enjoyed the challenge and can't wait until next year!

NSD 2015 Challenge: Some Assembly Required

This challenge was to make a box card.  I made one for Valentine's Day earlier this year.  So this is my second box card.  They are time consuming mostly due to finding the embellishments and putting them together inside the box.  Francine made it easier with her tutorial.

I used Bo Bunny Primrose collection for this box.  I also fussy cut all of the butterflies.  On the back is a Birthday stamp that is embossed.  Here is my entry.

NSD Challenge: Pin It!

Here is Gonescrappin's challenge:  I love Pinterest. I pin everything. I have so many crafty pins and the last time I actually used the inspiration was from a Pinterest challenge last year.  OK, let's go to our Pinterest boards and recreate a favorite pin. If you accept this challenge, post the pin and your version of it here. 

My entry is from a Pin I saved for a Waterfall Folio.  I used Graphic 45 paper from Once Upon A Springtime!  I made this folio for my Mom for Mother's Day since she love Fairies.  I used a lot of Glossy accents on the cover.  Here are pics of my entry:

 Here is a link to the Pinterest project:

Thanks Colleen for the Inspiration!

NSD Challenge: Crafting with Negative Nellie

Here is Sara's challenge for NSD:  My challenge is Crafting With Negative Nelly: Use the Negative Portion of Your Cut.
You know....the part you usually throw away.
I often find myself using the negative portion of my cuts rather than the actual cut image for backgrounds and especially for my titles.

So here is my entry.  I made cricut calling cards last November of my cat Graycie using my cricut machine.  She likes to walk on the mat and stick her head in the machine while it is cutting so the calling card.  Well the cat scraps were so cute I kept them to use on a layout. I finally got to use them today.  I used my favorite Bo Bunny paper-Primrose. I also used the cut and put it on a journaling card that looks like a playing card and added bling to the corners.  This is a two page entry.  Thanks Sara for the inspiration. 

NSD Smackdown Challenge

Hi everyone,

Here is a card I am entering into the NSD www.Smackdown challenge.  The challenge was to make a project with food in it.

So here is my entry.

I used Graphic 45 Home Sweet Home paper for the entire card including the punched out butterflies.   These are both cards for Mother's Day-Mom and MIL.  They both are into gardening so this was the perfect collection to use.

Hope you like it.
