I was surfing on SOC and someone (can't remember who, sorry) had posted a lovely card she made using the Storybook cartridge. I haven't been using my Cricut that much lately but the card was inspiration enough to rev up Mr. Cricut and see what we could make. The silver papers are from a wedding paper pack that I bought awhile ago and didn't need (like so many other things). The blue, yellow and green patterned papers create nice flowered embellishments. I used my iRoc tool to give the layout a little bling. The numbers are chalked and pop-dotted off the page for some additional dimension. I put this in my display area at JoAnn's. Who knows, maybe I'll come across a newly wed couple this year and gift this to them. :) TFL!

It's fun learning something new!
As part of my birthday celebration, I wanted to do something crafty this weekend. I enrolled in a paper piecing class at my local scrapbook store. I don't get to this store often because it's about 35 minutes away but I'm so glad I went. All of the ladies were great and the store owner is so crafty! She is a big help and her creativity is absolutely amazing! If you ever are in the area, check out The Crop Shop in Greensburg, PA.
Here's what we made in class. Very cute, isn't it?

Valentine Tag Swap
Over on the SOC boards, I hosted a Valentine Tag Swaps. Everyone contributed to making the swap successful - thank you! I appreciate everyone's efforts! The participants showed up and showed out when creating these tags. I'm amazed by the varieties and creativity of absolutely everyone.
In most cases, everyone will receive one of each of the tags (see notes below). The pictures just don't do these tags justice, but again, it's just a sneak peak! lol

Swap participants - if you would like me to include a description as to how you created your tag, please send me a private message on SOC boards! Thanks!

These cards were created for the January card swap over at SOC. They were to simply say "hello". I scrap-lifted from a card I did over a year ago but put a different spin on it. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results. I'm loving the Nestabilities' shapes. TFL!
It was refreshing to pull from my stash to create this card. As I continue to organize, I find where my crafting is more streamlined. |
I had a great time making these cards, creating the layers and choosing the papers. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. Thanks for looking! |
