Sarah the blog Queen!

Yesterday I was trying to do some cleaning up of the blog and the next thing I knew the header was gone!  I emailed my blog design guru Sarah with a HELP ME! in the subject line. She responded that she was super busy, holiday weekend, daughter graduating from pre-school and way too much to do but she would take care of it when she could. This morning I wake up and waaalaaa it's fixed.

Can I just say I LOVE HER!  Thank you Sarah!

Still waiting for the winner of the Best of Pixar cart to contact me!!

Happy Memorial Day!

Scrappin with my Bug Happy Birthday Blog Hop!

Hey Krazies!

My sweet friend Michelle from Scrappin with my Bug is having a birthday!  We're celebrating by gathering a bunch of fun ladies for a big blog hop that is going to run all weekend long. Lots of fun stuff to see along the way and prizes galore!  Be sure you stop at Michelles blog first to wish her a Happy Birthday! 


My Project

Happy Birthday Michelle!

 Front of the Gate fold card.  I used rub on dots for the top and bottom, 2 buttons to wrap the bakers twine around and cut the flowers from Walk in my garden.  The stamps are misc Birthday stamps and the paper is all DCWV various stacks.  I inked around the flowers with chalk ink (cats eye I think it's called)  Oh and the rub on dot borders are from Stamping Up.  I'm brand new with rubber stamps and will eventually learn how do do it correctly.
 Inside of the card.  It's your Day is from Pink Cricut - one of her stamp sets.... sorry don't remember which. Paper is from DCWV and I inked a lil here and there. 


 How cute are these flowers? I tried to bunch them more carefully but the more I tried the more cross eyed I felt so I gave up. I still think they are adorable. I wish I had done something to the flower pot and I still may later.



 This is a border cut from the cartridge.  The center of the flower in the middle is a fuzzy type brad.









I suppose you wanna know what the blog candy for Kricut Krazy is.... well Who wants "Best of Pixar"???  leave a message below letting me know what you think of the card and you are entered to win. It's that easy :) 



Hop along now :)

Oops.... I did it again! E2 in da house!

So... as any of you following me know, my fantabulous honey bunny hubby gave me a great craft area makeover. We have low ceilings in the basement - 6'6 maybe?  Anyway instead of rambling and babbling away I'll just spit it out....

I changed the craft area....... again.

Whatcha think?

The cats hated their tree being on the left side and they were walking on all my stuffs to get to the window so I had to change it up.  I put my original Expression on the shelf there in the corner and it has enough clearance for me to run a 24" mat thru it (that's why I catty cornered it)  My Teresa Collins stamp maker sits proudly on top of the shelf waiting patiently for me to play with it.  I changed it a wee bit more since this photo was taken but not so much that it was worth taking another photo. notice the cats - all 4 of them are back on their beloved tree.

this only changed up a lil bit - my wonderful wall to ceiling desk dad made when I was a kid - I'll always and forever have it.  We're going to paint it white eventually.  Anyway I moved all my cartridges temporarily to the two shelves on the right. They are 3 deep and 2 high. 

I decided I can't keep the boxes anymore. So I'm going to use that system a lot of you are for storing books and carts - Using the ribbon holder snap boxes.  I ordered a bunch of amazon and will post pics when I set it up.

Played with the E2 a lil bit today and there is a bit of a learning curve.  I'll get it eventually.  I don't have an Imagine cart to try in it, I'm excited about that but hubby put me on lockdown until the E2 is paid for - stupid stupid flex pay on hsn!

Hugs and Chirps!
