February is here so it must be time to post a Valentine Card. This cute little kitty is from the Hello Kitty Cartridge for the Cricut. I used Stickles on the heart and the paper is from last years K & Co Valentine pad. The cute little dog is a Beanie Baby by the way!

I can't believe it is 2010 already. So much for being an 'active' blogger! I should resolve to blog more than 3 times a year! I hope everyone survived the holidays and is ready for a happy and
creative new year. There is so much I want to accomplish this year but I know if I share it with anyone then it won't get done. Weird, isn't it? I'm glad 2009 is over. It wasn't the best year for us nor was it the worst. I look around at some of the problems I see others dealing with and it makes me very thankful for the life I have. I have been warming up my Cricut machine for some major scrapping. I have several years of photos back logged and if I don't get them done soon, this menopausal mind of mine will forget the details! I will see you more in 2010...I promise!

Almost BTS!

This is a project I created with my Cricut. I thought it would be a great gift for a teacher friend of mine. I used the Expression to cut the large bushel basket and apples. I attached the apples to jumbo popsicle sticks with classroom jobs listed on the back. The students 'pick' an apple to reveal their weekly job. The basket and the apples is from Doodlecharms.

Happy 4th of July!

Time for some creating! It seems that it has been so long since I have been able to do anything scrap/papercrafting related. I made these cards for a July Card Swap. The cardstock is Bazzil and I don't remember the pattern paper. The letters are Sizzix. I have every Cricut cart out there and I still drag out my trusted Sizzix all the time. You just can't give up on an old friend. Hope everyone has a safe and 'sane' 4th of July!

Whew! What a Month!

Sorry for neglecting my little scrappy spot. It has been a tense, angst filled month getting my oldest daughter ready to graduate. On top of that, my 'puter crashed taking all of my files, fonts, favorites and financials down with it! I couldn't even remember my password to get into my blog! All will be returning to normal soon and I will be posting Graduation pics soon!
Thanks all!

Another day, another card!

I created this little cutie for a co-worker who is under the weather. The paper is DCWV summer glitter stack. The border punch is Fiskars, flowers are Prima. I used my trusty Bics to color him in with a bit of purple stickles for the flower centers. I love Hedgies!

Spring Break is over!

They were so much easier to travel with when they were younger! Teenagers! I can see why some species eat their young!

My daughters and I just spent 4 days in north San Diego county. Our hotel overlooked the ocean in Carlsbad. The

weather ranged from gray and drippy to

bright and sunny. Their moods ranged about the same! How can you go to the

beach and want to spend all day indoors?

Not on my watch. We went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park, the flower fields, Scripp's Aquarium, the beach, and several scrap and stamp stores. It was a bittersweet 'girlie' adventure. My oldest daughter graduates this year so this might be the last mom and daughters trip for a while.
