I’ve been busy

I’ve been busy

Hi everyone!  I have been a busy little bee lately. I worked on a quick card for my dad.  ”You’re the best”  - chair cut from Cricut Wall Decor and More cartridge.  Pattern paper printed and cut from Cricut Imagine Heirloom cartridge.

I had a special request for a few of the rings I make. I finally received my supply order Saturday in the mail so I was able to get them together yesterday afternoon. As for today, I made a bread stick recipe using my bread machine. Yay! I can mark that off my January list. They tasted pretty good with our spaghetti and I made some caramel brownies for dessert…. and… I did finish my projects for the design team call! Just submitted them a few moments ago. I don’t expect to make the team but I really enjoyed the attempt. I worked out my very first scrapbook page for the call and loved it. I want to really get started on more soon. Once I got started with a couple of my thoughts, the layout went together without any struggles. I don’t know why I get so nervous thinking about them. Guess I think them out too much. Who knows but glad I finished the layout. I made a simple card for my second project. I don’t have a lot of supplies on hand to just decide I want to do a home decor project or such. That would be nice but that’s not where I’m at right now. I did “Smash” a little this weekend too. I need to take a few pictures to show you what I’m doing with mine.  I am still awaiting my books to come in. I can’t wait to get started with one of them.

My First Card Using The Imagine

Posted on by
My First Card Using The Imagine

While trying to work on the design team call projects I came across pictures of cards I’ve made. I think I will share a few with you over the next little while. I really like how they turned out.

Up first is a card I made for… you guessed it, my daddy. This was the first complete card made using my Cricut Imagine and the Imagine More Cards cartridge.

You're just my type

 

Card base is a cream-colored cardstock cut to A2 size, edges are inked with Color Box brown ink.  The pattern paper is printed and cut from the Imagine More Cards cartridge pg. 42.  I wrapped some black embroidery thread around the pattern paper three times and taped to the back of the paper and I placed three small gun-metal colored brads to the bottom left side of the paper.    I attached the paper to the cardstock using some ATG.  The “You’re Just My Type” image cut in layers from pg. 8, adhered together using Two Way Glue Pen,  typewriter is popped up on foam tape.  I used Glossy Accents to cover the enter typewriter to give it an epoxy type finish.  The “love” badge is from the same cartridge, pg. 14, there is another one on the inside of the card .  All images are inked with the brown ink.

You're Just My Type

What do you think.  I fell in love with my Imagine while working on this card.  So much you can do, so much to learn.

Join in on some linky fun

Hi everyone!

Thank you for taking time to check out what I have been up to. I wanted to share a great site I have found, “Sew Many Ways.” I love this site, Karen has an amazing blog. She is so talented and loves to encourage others to share their talents no matter how basic or grand they are. I found her through Pinterest.  Right now through the end of the week (January 21, 2012) she has a linking party going on. I will place a link so you can join in the fun. Be sure check out links that spark some interest and leave them a comment. Do link up if you have something to share as well.

I have shared my Violin Card for my dad. He did LOVE it as I suspected he would. He called to tell me he wanted more just like it to fill his walls with framed “Tammie Art.” Guess that’s a clue for me to get started on his next card… hmm, what will it be???

Anyway, here’s the link to the “Sew Darn Crafty” linking party:

I did it.  I completed my project for the Cardz Tv Challenge #3.

“Just For You,” dressform standard card.  I used the dressform on page 74 of the Cricut Cartridge “Wall Decor and More.”  Cut using the Cricut Imagine.  Tim Holtz Alterations embossing folder from “French Connection” on the gray mat.  I used white and black ribbons and rhinestones to add some elegance.  Take a look:
