Thank You Beary Much

Hi everyone, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and a safe Black Friday.

I wasn't brave enough to get yesterday so I worked on some projects instead.

This posting is a little belated, I made this card for some friends of ours because when I got out of the hospital they brought over a big meal for my family so we could all rest.  I know it took Angela a long time to prepare so I wanted to let her know how much I appreciated it.

I made this card using only one hand so I think it turned out pretty good.

Materials used: Cricut Cartridge - Wild Card

Make the Cut

The card is from the Wild Card cartridge found on page 33.  Cut the card and the Argyle frame using the icon button.

The bear is cut from Make the Cut with a pattern I made.  You have probably seen it on another card I made.

I chalked around all of the bear pieces and doodled his face.

Thanks for stopping by.

Reindeer Christmas

Hello again.  Sorry I have been out of commision for awhile.  Had a little accident and had to have surgery on my right arm.  And of course I am right handed so this has made life interesting at my house.  I am just now starting to be able to use it again.  Unfortunately this got me a little behind on all of my Christmas things I was planning on making.   This is a Christmas card that I had made the evening before my accident.

Materials Used:  Cricut cartridge - When It's Cold Outside for the snowflake

Make The Cut - Reindeer, Santa Hat, Wreath

EK Success Punch - Dotted Scallop

Debbie Mumm Harvest & Holiday Paper Stack - Red polka dot paper.

Red and Silver Glitter

DecoArt Snow Writer for the hat.

I didn't have the exact color of brown or red paper that I wanted for this reindeer and the santa hat so I typed in the RGB codes on MTC and printed them out on my printer first then cut them out using the MTC software.

HOO's 23

Hi everyone.  Sorry I haven't been around much lately.  Been CRAZY around here again.

My daughter had to have all of her wisdom teeth pulled out last week and is still having problems with them.  Needless to say we have been to the dentist alot lately.  Between that, and going to see doctors and my husband had to make another trip out of town, I will sure be glad when things calm down again.  Well I didn't get all 4 of my Christmas cards done for September so I will try to make it up this month.  I did however get a few birthday cards done.  My sons birthday is today and I finally got his card done, hope he likes it. 

Cartridges used:  Bloom, Sugar and Spice and George and Basic Shapes

Spiderweb Picture Frame

I've been trying to get working on some of my holiday projects lately.  The holidays always seem to sneek up on me and I'm rushing to get everything done on time.  Here is the picture frame from the Happy Hauntings cartridge that I just finished.  My daughter I'm sure will find a picture for it.  Halloween is  her favorite holiday.

All of the layers are cut at 6".  Cut all of the pieces except the black spiderweb frame in a cereal box then covered the fronts and backs of the pieces with the yellow and black paper.  This really helped to make the frame sturdy. Then used foam squares around the sides and bottom of the frame to adhere the back on.  Don't forget if you make this to leave the top open so you can change your photo.
