Girls Best Friend


I've been going through a ton of pictures and came across this one from the first day of school. The girls are with there loving "puppy" Diesel. He's gotten so big! Still growing though :) He's 195 lbs now but was probably around 185 in this picture.

Diesel loves seeing the girls off to school each morning and he can't wait to see the bus go by every afternoon. He sits and patiently waits in the front yard until he see the bus in the afternoon, then when the bus pulls up he stands and starts wagging his tail like crazy waiting for them to get up to the house.

Don't forget. Tomorrow starts my 12 Cards of Christmas. Hope to see you then!

Cricut Merry Christmas


Hello Savvy Stampers!

Tonight is all about the Cricut! I've been dying to play around with the Vinyl so I decided to do a Christmas project. I put it on the wall above our couch in the living room. I'm so happy with the way it turned out. This was really a fun project to do and actually it went really fast. Here's what I did:

Santa & Reindeer - Christmas Cartridge, cut at 10" - Black Vinyl
Neighbor Hood Houses - Christmas Cartridge, cut at 4 3/4" - Black Vinyl
Merry Christmas - Jasmine Cartridge, cut at 4 3/4" (I think) - Black Vinyl
Moon - Accents Essentials Cartridge, cut at 9 1/2" - Tan Vinyl

For the Neighbor Hood of houses and trees I used the Christmas Cartridge in the Design Studio (DS). I kept adding houses and trees to the design to get the layout I wanted, Set Kerning to .001, apply, then made sure I had each element set on Welding so when it cut it cut everything as one long piece. Oh, and I had to break out the 12x14 mat for this project :)

Have a great evening!

Upsy Daisy


Hello Savvy Stampers!

Ok....not the best picture, but you get the idea ;) I just had to get in my stamp'n room and get my hands one some stamps! It's been over a month since I've made anything! I did get three cards done. This one for my SIL Birthday, one for my Dad's Birthday which is today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! Then another Thank you Card. I'll post those later in the week.

I think this is a beautiful SU set. Very simple quick card using the Upsy Daisy set.

Paper: Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette , Bella Rose DSP

Ink: Riding Hook Red

Stamps: Upsy Daisy

Punches. Large Oval, Wide Oval

Snowman Paint Can


Here's the original Snowman Paint can I designed last year. I love doing altering paint cans, they are super cheep to get and make fabulous gifts! The snowman is simply made using the CM custom cutting system and punches. Ovals, circle and heart punch for his mittens.

Again, sorry for posting so many of last years projects. I'm still down from my back surgery. Just over 4 weeks post surgery. I did get in the stamp'n room today and knocked out four cards :) I'm paying for it now laying back in bed with a heat pad on my back! Sitting just isn't working for me yet! Ugggg

I'll post those cards this week, so stay tuned!

Happe Stamp'n!
