Just feeling good

You know how sometimes when you put on something and it makes you feel great. I did that today I bought a new short sleeved sweater at kohls on clearance and I am one of those girls that when I buy something new I have to wear it right away. The sweater is a pretty rust color and works awesome with my new vintage amber and gold necklace, a black long sleeved shirt, jeans and a gold pair of vintage earrings. The funny thing I'm still wearing slippers and I plan on cleaning my house. All that matters is that I'm feeling awesome! Life is a roller coaster and I'm on top I haven't been here in a very long time. I'm sure at some point I'll hit a low but I'll deal with it when I get there!

Where have I been?

Well I took a couple days off to complete my close to my heart class this coming Tuesday. I decided to go back to elementals paper pack because I think its a great guy color pallet. The group will be making a birthday card and a cute little fry box that I'm going to get candy to put in that can be given as a gift. The half girls will be making the card with the pacific blue and the other half will be making the card using the sunset orange card stock. Both look awesome. Then the grit box I'm leaving up to the ladies they can either put a star or a flower on front. I used the celebration stamp that came with the cricut set. Then the party pennants
Set for the card which is one of my favorite sets. I hope the girls enjoy them. My wheels are already turning for April and may's classes!!!

Thinking of you today.. card

So I made this card for someone special who is in the hospital. I've been playing with these paper for two days trying to make them into cards then today I remembered the latest edition of paper crafts had a great article on different materials to make flowers from. One stood out from the rest... Recycled paper bag flowers. So I cut up a paper bag from my last trip to the store and cut out flowers from Mother's day bouquet in varying sizes 3", 2.5", 2" and 1.5". The paper I used is from DCWV's rockstar pack the stamps used came from unity stamp company "thinking about you today.." and the stitch from an unmarked close to my heart set (which means it came in a special kit), other supplies include a brad from making memories, embossing power (pumpkin and hot pink) from hampton art, brown card stock from bazzill, bubble gum ink from close to my heart and foam squares. These recycled paper bag flowers are a lot of fun, but when cutting on your cricut be extra watchful. The mat didn't like the paper bag so I used painters tape to hold it down and pushed on the paper as it was cutting just to help it stay in place. A few petals ripped when cutting but I liked them a little ripped and tattered.

From drab to fab- little plates

I have been want to do this quick project with my cricut forever!!! I have been going in thrift shops looks for small plain white plates with gold around the edges. I have seen a few but nothing seemed worth it. Most of the time the price or quantity wasn't right. So this weekend as you know I went to a garage sale in the bins I found these not so great plates and the light bulb went off. My project can finally be done! I love them the only thing I didn't account for was how big the pattern in the center was but the worked out thank goodness.

Finished March little fat book page

I love this guy he came out too cute for words!!! He is more cutesy then I usually do so I feel like he's missing something, but I don't really want to add much more to him. Maybe some stickles a little later. I love my idea to make my own spring, so he bounces around on the page.
