Happy Holidays

Good Morning!

  I have had this on my to do list for weeks but keeping running out of time to color my digi.  I got it finished Saturday night!!  I wanted to take my picture outside but every time I got ready to go outside to take it yesterday it would start to rain.  So I gave up and went for the light box this morning.  I love coloring Heather's Digi from Fresh Brewed!!  This is her newest Christmas house.  I hope you like it as much as I do!

I used my Creative Memories Cutting System to cut the digi and background paper out in circles.  Added some clear glitter on the roof and ground.

Birthday Gift

Good Morning! 

 I wanted to share with you the gift that I made for my friend's birthday yesterday.  She is such a great friend!!  We meet when my daughter and her son went to preschool together.  

I can't believe they are now in 4th grade!  

So while I was unpacking some of my scrapbooking supplies the other night I had an idea pop in my head.  I found some old CD's  and some cool paper that I forgot about having.    I used my Creative Memories Custom Cutting System to cut circles out of my pattern paper to glue to the CD's.  Then I cut out Family form the Country Life Cartridge and the flowers from CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge to go on the front.  After I had put my cricut things away I decide I need some leaves for the flowers.   So I decide to see what it would look like to use my CM Paisley Punch to make leaves. Then I just cut out some little photo mats and embossed them for the inside and tag. These little albums are so fun to make and you are recycling too!! 

 

Then to go along with the album I found this big clothes pin at Michael's on Monday and didn't really like the print on it.  So I thought well I can cover this to match the album and make it nice.  I used the scraps from the front of the album to cover it.  Then I cut out 2 flowers from the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge and some more Paisley for leaves and some ribbon!   

I will be posting the card I made to go with her gift on Monday and teaching how I made it for my Guest Design Team project for Crafter's Companion.  I hope that you stop back by to see it!!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest project!

HIMCR #65 Freestyle

Happy Saturday Everyone!!

I went with a friend last night to scrapbook and had so much fun!!  I worked on my kids albums for a change.  It was so nice to get pages done for them.  I'm working on my goal for this year to stay caught up on their albums.  I hope to start packing up my craft room tonight and tomorrow.  It's going to take me some time but I want to get it done so we can start painting.  I bought my paint on Monday and have an idea for a desk that I want!  I can't wait to post pictures and share my craft room when it's all done!

This week challenge at HIMCR is Freestyle!  I made a Composition Notebook for my DT Sister AJ!  I used her favorite colors and used my new Crafty Girl stamp from Fresh Brewed Designs.
