And on the side…I dabble in…Jewelry Making

In February I went to the Creative University with Tresa Black..and was introduced to jewelry making by Erin G.  OH boy….like I ‘needed’ another hobby.  I have not been able to put the tools & beads down!  A couple of weeks ago I made a quick strand of beads in gold & green to match my sons football team colors…gotta look good @ the game right?  The other day my friend Lindsey linked me to a site that made cool Huskers charms….and I KNEW I could do it on my own.  Today I ended up at Ace Hardware & Harbor Freight Tools getting supplies…that turned into heading to Hobby Lobby & Micheals…and made these:

Ready For SUMMER

Emma is always ready to change her look when a new season rolls around.  This summer I think she had different hair every few weeks!  From a sassy hair cut, to bleached & dyed streaks….she was enjoying the new season! I used new CTMH papers, die cut shapes, and letters…funky…just like Emma!

Halloween!! My favorite holiday!

Seriously…I CANNOTenough of Halloween stuff.  It’s my fav!  And pair that with a super cool layout & card…bonus!  I used the Art Philosophy Cart again…cut the lacey shape, the border, the title…cool eh? I used the extras for the card.  Super easy!

Fall Card…with Art Philosophy…again

When I cut all the flower images on the Cricut…I did lots of other images. Leaves, signs, arrows, etc. This fall card came toghether so easy!

Art Philosophy Cartridge from CTMH & CRICUT…flowers!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE flowers…all shapes, sizes, colors…even weed flowers!  One thing I had been wanting so badly from CTMH was a die cut system to match the stamps.  They finally listened…and made one!  ART PHILOSOPHY!  A while ago I pre cut a bunch of flowers…finally took a few minutes and used them!

BLOGTOBER.....and fall photos

So...Joining TRESA's BLOG and going to try & PUMP UP my blog! I have been accused many times lately of putting too much on facebook..probably cuz it's easier! And I can do it from my phone. I guess I'll just move more of it here eh? :)

Starting off...fall photos. Rarely does a weekend include the activities I, ME, MOM wants to do! SO I insisted that yesterday was a mom day. We drove up the Poudre River and enjoyed the fall colors, played in the river and bonded ;). Heard my almost 14 year old say "It was FUN". WOOHOO!

Ack....it's barely starting fall & I made a Holiday Card!

But couldn't resist...

Happy Birthday

Fallish cards with elemental & cricut cart...again!

Elemental papers & Flowers from Cricut!

SO...not only does the new cartridge cut 3D flowers, it cuts flower shapes that coordinate with a super cute & fun flower stamp set! SO SO easy to create with!

3D flowers using new CTMH cricut images!

I was not100% sold on the new cricut cartridge that CTMH came up with...but I have to tell ya....im a convert! I used a petal image to cut the "smile" image, and a flower image to use as leaves...and a supercool spiral lookingflower cut for the 3D flower!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY....cupcake & cone

just using up some scraps....and love the funky colors of teal, yellow & red

Clear Card

and i used some papertrey dies & felt for the green border. LOVE that stuff!
