~Happy Monday "Love In Paris" Layout & WINNER~

Good morning my crafty friends!!!

I am so excited today because tomorrow my very first

Tally Kit "Love In Paris" is all in order and ready to be

placed in the store on Tally!!

I made this LO using the kit and actually I really

don't care for this layout. LOL But you know I am always

too honest about things!! haha!!

I love the kit and I so wanted to scrap the pictures I took of my

grandmother's jewelry box (blogged about it a couple weeks ago)

In reality you know I will scrap these pictures at least

4 or 5 more times, cause I roll like that LOL

The kit was just amazing to work with, even better than I

had imagined it could be. It was so fun designing it!

Of course I also used my Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro for the entire page.

It was really nice for the delicate paper lace ruffles.

It's going to be 26.00 and it goes up at 8:30 AM tomorrow♥

This is the KIT

I finished the design for the March Kit, and it's called

Lucy, You Got Alot Of Scrappin' To Do.

They are on Pre-Order and they have already sold! :)

I am thrilled about that! Now I need to go order it LOL

And don't forget there is still time to sign up for the Stash to Treasure

February Class!!! It is ONLY 5.00!!!

That class begins tomorrow!

I have ONE WINNER of the subscription...

~♥Oh La La Is Right♥~

HAPPY SATURDAY my crafty friends!!!!!!

I have always said I am not a card maker but man oh man

lately I have been feeling it. I think I was just missing

one component, the Cricut Imagine!!!!!!! It totally makes

me want to make cards like crazy!!!!

Today I used the Samantha Walker Oh La La line which is right

up my alley. I don't know how I missed this?? It was buried beneath

the cowboy papers. I found it and almost squealed!

And wait until you see her new lines...I am dying...I hope I get them all LOL

I felt like this card would be perfect to welcome a new baby girl, or

a baby shower for a the mother, or even a great girlfriend card~

I used the French Manor cartridge and the shape is from the Imagine

shapes already on the machine. I also used the Glue Arts UCUT foam

adhesive which was perfect because of the dress form shape.

ALL of the paper is the Oh La La Line (Samantha Walker)

Anyways I just wanted to share my new love,

I was so proud to share this card with you ♥

I am off to spend the day with my family today and

hopefully hit up the library!! :) My second love....

~Have a wonderful day~

~Thank you for stopping by~

~When Crafting Goes Bad~ hehe

Good morning my crafty friends!

That's right...sometimes crafting goes bad LOL

I was working on this project with my YuDu this week and

adding some flowers and flourishes with white in and

wouldn't you know it???

Not only was the screen bad (from using it so much) and it left a mark

but also the white ink bottle broke in my hand!! LOL

I am happy I took pictures before I ruined it....OI!

I really have to stop being so hard on myself and just let it go...

I thought I would share with you the pre-mess outfit!! :)

Anyways, I am knee deep in inventory for Tally Scrapper

it all came yesterday and I am working to fill old orders.

Then off to Fed Ex and the PO. They are calling for snow tomorrow

and it looks like possibly 4" so I better get done now!

I hope you have better luck with your crafting today!!

~Have a wonderful Tuesday~

~Pinky~

~Not All Cards Have To Be Folded...Right?! haha~

Good morning my crafty friends!

I missed blogging yesterday because I spent the day

Saturday out with friends and watching Black Swan which

was fantastic! I love horror movies, movies with suspense and movies

with a Hitchcock feel and I was totally wowed! It was a lovely day.

Ok back to crafting right? :)

I made this card using the Love in Paris Tally Scrapper Kit

for February and I love that it has a sheet of acrylic in it!

Everything except the buttons were from the kit....

This is the back for writing.

You know it is RARE that I say I LOVE one of my cards

but I genuinely love this card, it's so funky~

The acrylic is from Clear Scraps of course...and I love the acrylic

from Clear Scraps, it makes me smile ♥

Oh and I used my Glue Arts Perma Tac on the card too.

I was testing it out on the acrylic with paper and it worked perfectly!

I had trouble with other glues burning the acrylic and

also I lost 10 acrylic projects alone last year from yellowing and cracking

but this Perma Tac worked, so I might have to try it some more.

Ok I am off to finish projects and hit the Fed Ex office!!

Have a beautiful Monday everyone!

OHHHH this week I have a Cricut Cartridge GIVEAWAY coming up

so please stay tuned! WOOHOO!!!!!

~Pinky~

~Happy Crafty Saturday~

Boy it has been a busy week!

Good morning my crafty friends :)

I have been so busy creating this week and with the kids home half

the time....OY! :)

You know I took over Tally Scrapper and when I did

it meant I would be designing the kits for Tally this is going to

be my very first kit...it's called Love In Paris.

Since I have first dibs * Since it comes to my house LOL*

I was able to create with it first :)

Not a very romantic LO I know, but I have wanted to scrap the

pictures of my son and his Asthma for so long. I hate his

breathing issues and how often he is sick and on his machine.

It's such a HUGE part of our life and I wanted to document it

you know I document everything. I have to admit it was

hard to scrap this page, I cried alot. This picture I took was

heart wrenching. It was right after her had fallen out of the 2 story

window and survived....we had just gotten him back to normal

then the Asthma began. I was so thankful to have him alive and so

upset he was in pain yet again.

Anyways....the kit is beautiful right? LOL

Guess what it has in it???

ACRYLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT!

It goes up for sale February 1st.

That's it for me today, I am off to have lunch with a friend♥

Happy Saturday everyone!

~Pinky~

~More Cricut Fun, Special Cards~

Good morning my crafty friends!

I have a few projects piling up here I have to share...

today I have a Cricut Card I made using the Summer In Paris

Cartridge, and one of the old Tally Scrapper kits.

It is my friend's birthday on Sunday and we had lunch this week

she loves wine so I thought this would be perfect for her.

You know it genuinely is a pleasure to give a card to someone who

truly appreciates it and when you are my friend you can expect to

hear "Save that card, I might need it back I am submitting it!" LOL

Thankfully I have friends who laugh it off and know I am serious!

bwhahahaha!

I am very blessed in the friends department for sure!

I am also so blessed to have access to my Cricut and Cricut cartridges!

You know my Cricut Imagine has turned me into a card maker!

You will never hear me say *again* that I am not a card maker

because it is not true now! :) *YEA*

Ok I am off to check the snow report and see if my kids

are going to be home again...I mean we do have 1 inch of snow ROFL!

Oh TN I love you but seriously, we need to have a chat about snow days.

~Happy Friday!~

~Happy Tuesday, More Animal Crackers Fun~

Hey all my scraptastic friends!

Before anything I wanted to share a fun 6X12 layout

I made with the new Animal Crackers line from Imaginisce.

GO check out their blog because they are giving it away all week!

Here is my funky layout, I know it's not circus theme but

I never feel you have to stick with the theme of the paper.

We all had such a great time at Dinosaur World in KY

I thought it would go perfectly with the Animal Crackers line

because to me it represented FUN! :)

Remember that Gypsy I gave away a while ago?

The winner sent me this Martha Stewart Punch and I used it

on this LO for the journaling strips. Thanks Chris~ :)

The entire layout is Animal Crackers, Glue Arts Extreme Glue, Thickers.

If you have not tried the 6X12 size, you should...they are addicting!

I had a great day yesterday with my boys at the 1.50 theater,

we watched MegaMind and they boys had fun♥

Then to end the evening I had ANOTHER pub email!

I cannot tell you how tickled I am! It must be my month!

Then right after that the new Tallyscrapper kit came in the

mail the one I designed for my new position on Tally♥

I am off to make a preview video for the "Love in Paris" Kit

and finish up a couple projects for Cricut :)

See you all tomorrow and don't forget Thursday a new VIDEO tutorial

and more Animal Crackers Fun!

~THANK YOU for stopping by~

~I sit down every night and read comments and bless you~

~Chugging Into Sunday! New Acrylic Work!~

Good morning!!!

I have another fun acrylic project to share today...

this is also a new sneak peek for CHA from Clear Scraps.

In fact I Fed Ex'd it in so you should be able to see it in person♥

It is a new TRAIN banner....I decided since my youngest is

such a HUGE train fanatic, to make it for him.

I used all Basic Grey papers and embellishments,

with my Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive for the vintage buttons.

Plus on the stars I used Smooch Spritz on the back,

then I sealed it with PYMII and it worked perfectly!

It sealed the Smooch and made it all shine through.

For the wheels I used my Fiskars Punch...I don't remember the name,

I think it might be Seal Of Approval??

My Cricut Imagine to cut the letters from Core'dinations card stock.

Here is a closeup of the sealed Smooch, I used green and blue.

And the half fans I just made myself adhering them with the ibond.

The edges are those Viva Decor Pens, I love those!

It was a FUN project and what the best thing was...Gage was

TICKLED when he saw it! He squealed and said "FOR ME??"

I told him...AFTER CHA HONEY! LOL

Ok I am off to be with the family today, and work

on my Cricut Circle Projects for the magazine.

I am YuDuing my ass off! LOL

~Happy Sunday~

OHHH all next week is Animal Crackers Release week

♥~Hello Saturday, You Are Loved~♥

Good morning my amazingly talented friends,

you are LOVED by me ♥

I wanted to thank you all for the comments yesterday and clear

up a question repeated all day yesterday...

My favorite color LOL

It is not pink but to be perfectly honest, I have no favorite color

I love so many colors...I cannot decide.

I have a fun layout I made this week.

You know I am trying to fill this 8.5X11 album I have

and I do love making this size.

I have had this picture for a while now and have

been dying to scrap it! I RARELY get the opportunity to scrap a girl,

let alone a baby girl! I might have to send this to her mother :) My SIL.

I used Cosmo Cricket Togetherness line

because this is a Purple Cows project.

You just might see it on the Purple Cows site! :)

I also used my Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro...and speaking of

Glue Arts...I did not know they made a Glue Glider Max!

I am going to have to hunt one down and review it,

see how awesome it is?! Has anyone out there used it?

Let me know, I want to hear~

I am so excited this morning....yesterday I sent in my first

official magazine publication project!

They contacted me on Thursday night.

So, if you want to see it in person you can look in the

June/July issue of the new Cricut Magazine

I hope this is the first of many and it does encourage me to submit!

I have to admit I suck at submitting...but that's going to change now!

Oh and I wanted to thank you all for the fun comments yesterday.

I had a ball reading them and it was a fun post, Imaginisce

really makes me so happy!

~I hope you have a wonderful Saturday,

sending beautiful thoughts your way~

~Pinky~
