Sandia Craft Show

The Sandia Craft show was a success, we sold a lot and I had a wonderful time hanging out with my friends.  The day flew by and I am looking forward to the next 2 shows.  Last year I was the only one selling the slumped bottles, this year there were 2 others.  I guess I should of expected at least that many they are very cool. lol

 

Kristen makes some really wonderful paper crafts and I kind of regret getting into the bottles, paper crafts were sooooooo much easier to load and unload. Thank goodness for my wonderful husband for all the heavy lifting.

I got this great stand for $20.00 at a Hallmark store that went out of business. It worked great and I could really get a lot of bottles on it. 

Another Christmas Card

Another Christmas card I will be sending out this year. I love this type of card, it is so fun. Hope everyone has a great weekend. 

Stampin Up Stamp a Stack

I had to get this embossing folder.

We couldn't decide if I already had this dear so I didn't get it, I should have because if I have it I can't find it.lol

Gift card holder.... Now that is easy gift giving.

Had a great time with Gina and friends. Gina always has such great ideas and I so enjoy spending time doing something I love. We played from 1pm to 5pm and left with 16 cards, 2 gift card holders, and 2 money holders.
Thanks again Gina.

Youngest son's graduation.

I have been such a bad blogger as of late. I have been busy and will have some scrapbook pages to post very soon. I am working on a scrapbook for our youngest son's graduation next month. I also have to make a bunch of these cupcake wrappers. You can find a bunch of SVG's for the cricut Here.

I have done my first digital scrapbook for my last Make-A-Wish shopping spree and when that comes in the mail from snapfish I will share it too. Snapfish donated 100 digital books to Make-A-Wish  I made 2 copies, one for my wish kiddo and another one for the wish office. I only had to pay the freight. I still don't think I am a digital type gal. I am making a personal one for my in-law's for Christmas because I think they will get a kick out of the book and they are so hard to shop for.  I was going to use my Stampin up design studio but it cost a lot more to print the book through Stampin Up.
If anyone has ideas for graduation pages or party… really anything for graduation. I would love to hear about it.

Easter Basket

This Easter basket is 3 pillow boxes with the tops cut off and taped together. The boxes and cross are cut with the cricut using the wedding cartridge at 3”.

Mother's Day Gift Box

I am feeling very good that I am ahead of the game. I have Easter and Mother’s day done. This is for my mother-in-law, I will put candy and ear rings in the little drawers.

Easter treat holders for my boy's

I made these for my 3 boy’s and my wonderful husband for Easter. I am not going to go all out this year just a few little treats in these bunny bags. I say that every year but I am going to stick to it this year.

I got this pattern from Gina’s Hostess Club last year. Thanks Gina I still love this one

Punch Hippo

While cleaning out my stamp room I came across my punch book. It is a book I put all my punch ideas in and I decided to make this little guy. He is soooooooooo cute. I just love to make things out of punches so whenever I find one on the web I print it and put it in my little book.

We have it all

Just a little sign I cut with my cricut and the design studio. We have always used this saying so why not put it on the wall.

Not back but a little better

I still can’t really think of things I really want to make so I cased this bird house and I think it is cute. The original was made with the mini stampin up sizzix die. This one is not that small and was cut with an SVG cut. I will fill the birdhouses with candy and give as a gift. 

The card was fun; the shoe is from the cridut wedding cartridge. I like the easel cards so thought the shoe was perfect.

Water Garden

In need of a little color today. I am also ready for my pond to look like this. I always pick this stamp about this time of the year. Hopeful thinking I think. Hope your week is going well.

Design Studio Images

Back to black and white but not a wedding card today. I will work on a black and white wedding card for tomorrow. I still have plenty of the hearts left. Again these images were printed out with the Stampin Up design studio. I will have to try printing something other than black in the near future.

Smore Birthday

Oh I know you were expecting another black and white card. I will make one for tomorrow because I wouldn’t want to disappoint anyone. Lol This is the under the stars set from Stampin Up. It is one of my favorite sets and I tend to use it a lot. I made the clouds by sponging a little ink around the oval scallop I punched for the birthday sentiment. I used liquid appliqué for the middle of the marshmallow and heated it until it looked a little burned.

Just incase you are sick of Black and White I added RED

Ok well it is still black and white but I added a little red. The birds were printed from the Stampin up Design Studio I can change the color of them but I just really like the black and white right now.

More Black and White Wedding Hearts

Another black and white heart wedding card. I used the cricut and the wedding cartridge to cut the shoes and the hat. These hearts are from the stampin up design studio. I haven’t used it much but when I do I like it. I printed the hearts out on white card stock and cut them out to layer on this card.

Why I needed the camper

 

Ok this is why I needed the camper. This is a scrapbook I am making for a road trip with our camper we will be taking this summer. The whole family will be going and that is quite an accomplishment. 4 out of 5 of us work for the same company and it is tough for everyone to get the same time off. Also the kids are all grown up and that makes it tough to get everyone together at one time too. I made the Book last year for a Bind it All challenge. I will change the back cover to a Texas plate (that's where we are going). So looking at it with the New Mexico plate face up will be the trip out there, turn it over to the Texas plate and that will be the trip back.

Happy Camper

I needed a camper for a scrapbook I am working on so I gave it a try. This isn’t a great svg file but it works very well for what I needed.I made it so I could write a little story under the first layer.

Wedding Always make me cry Cards too

This is the card that inspired my Weddings make me cry challenge box. I cut the hearts with my cricut and SCAL. The tie is just a little V cut out of the heart and trimmed at the top to look like a tie. I then ran the white hearts and tie part of black hearts through my cuttlebug in the Swiss dots. The base of the card is white card stock the top of the card is white card stock I ran through the cuttlebug in swirl folder and punched the corners with the stampin up ticket punch.
