2011 SUCKED!

Well it's been awhile.  Let me just say that 2011 SUCKED except for my daughter's wedding.  My breast cancer returned at the end of March.  I underwent surgery and am almost finished with all the chemical treatment.

I've been crafting, so I will post some new items soon.

Rainy Day Scrapbooking

Well, its cold & rainy here.  Yeah, I know those of you up in the great white north feel sorry for us Floridians.  So, I decided to try to catch up on some scrapbooks layouts.  We have boxes & boxes of pictures.  This is a trip to Peanut Island about 20 minutes from our house.  I've fallen in LOVE with Tim Holtz products. 


I used a sheet of paper I got at Michael's and distressed it lightly with Forest Moss Distress Ink.  I used my Cricut Stretch Your Imagination cartridge for the sandcastle and shells.  I distressed them with the Forest Moss and Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.  My journal sign is from my Scrapbook Factory CD and it's distressed too. 

Aiden's Valentine Card

This is the Valentine card for my 2 yr old great-nephew.  I used DCWV paper, Cuttlebug, Cricut's Winter Frolic cart for the sheep and the Basic Cake cart for the hearts.  I also blinged out the heart.

Valentine's Day Card Class

This is one of the cards I made at my local scrapbook store.  We made three cards.  This card used embossing and Copix markers.  I like the pink & brown together.

Tim Holtz Tags

Went to the local scrapbook store last Sunday and they had some left-over materials to make these Tim Holtz tags. A lot of steps. The nice thing is that if you don't like a part-- don't add it.

Twilight Cupcakes

My daughter loves the Twilight books and movies, so I made some blood-red red velvet cupcakes and used my Cricut Cupcake Wrapper cart to cut these holders. Yummy!

Thank You Card

I was playing around with my Gypsy I got for Christmas and I remembered seeing a card similar to this on the cover of the new Cricut magazine and this is my interpretation of it. Hope you like.
