Finally, I am back!

It seems like forever and I have missed the commraderie of blogging. Everything just seems to be off when I do not blog. So, I'll try not to have my computer crash again. I fought so hard to get it fixed under the warranty and then they sent it back only partially fixed. I am disappointed because I love HSN for the crafting situation, but not so much on the laptop situation. Anyway, enough negative, blah.

Here is a copy of an anniverasary card I made for my parents to give to their brother and sister-in-law. I did forget to take it after I put the Happy Anniversay rub-on on it, but its still just as beautiful! Also, I forgot that I only had my MotoCliq handy to take the pic, so please excuse the fuzziness. I think you'll still be able to enjoy it!

This is just a card I made after cutting out over 100 images from Cindy Loo and Create a Critter. I had a lot of fun and then sat down and just put many different types of cards together. I plan on sharing the others in the near future. The background paper is from DCWV packet; the plain paper is Cricut and Stampin Up and the rub-ons are from Three Birds. Flowers and Ribbon from Stampin Up. Oh, and the pens I used are Sakura. Often time I love just to do mad cutting on my cricut and then sit and put cards together. It's so fun!

I'd love it if you let me know what you think other than that it is blurry. I do know that and I will make certain that I have my digital camera; as I have now learned that my flip camera and phone are virtually worthless. Thanks for visiting and I'm so happy to be back!

Also, very soon, I will be holding a contest for some blog candy and I hope you will like it. Friday, March 25, CKC will be here in Portland and I am signed up for 5 classes, plus I will be doing one crop with my friends from
HeartString Designers. Here are their links: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Heartstring-Designs/143099052169

If you are new and lost at how to start scrapbooking or making cards, trust me this company is the most cost effective company for card and scrapbooking kits that there are. I have ordered from them all and only trust Carl and Sharon Jensen in everything. Customer Service is more important to them than any other business on the internet. Give them a try; you will not be disappointed! Tell them I sent you, I don't get paid for it, I just love them and want them to know it.

Craft Yourself Away... NayNay

Silly me, How'd I miss a whole day?

I'm in such a great mood today.  I cannot contain it.  I've had news that the blog is finally live!  Whistles blowing, horns honking, kids screaming!  Oh wait that was at the football game the other night!  LOL

Seriously, welcome to my first two followers; Vera and Emily in order of signup!  Welcome and I hope I will be able to help you at anything you may need in the future. 

I spent yesterday designing Smiley Cards (Free Cricut Cartridge downloadable from Cricut.com on your Gypsy).  If you haven't updated in a while; run, don't walk to Cricut.com and update your Gypsy!  Note:  you must download from the Cricut Sync to have these appear on your Gypsy.  I also found out by error that you must also delete your Gypsy Sync prior to downloading from the Cricut Sync.  I know this sounds confusing, but if you will just read the directions carefully, it will explain.  We received five free downloads:  Christmas, Smiley Cards, Indie Art, Blackletter (love, love, love) and Printing Press.  I just did a check at http://www.cricut.com/gypsy/promo/default.aspx and this offer is good as long as you have purchased your Gypsy by December 31, 2010. 

I've been spending most of my time putting together this blog, so I will now have time to start cutting out all my designs and will post pictures.  Tomorrow, come back because I will be uploading a few pics of cards I've made that bear notice.  Also, if you don't have a blog and would like to show off your creations; I would love to show them for you!  If you'll scroll to the bottom, you will see one of my favorite creations to date by a FaceBook friend.  It is made from the Cricut Cartridge, Once Upon a Princess.  I think you will like it to.  Her blog is at lovetocreatecards.com and she has a FaceBook page called Cricut Cards.

Well, off to do my design and cutting work for today or I will never be ready for Christmas, let alone Thanksgiving!  Also, must find out why my links are not showing!
