Happy New Year!
Wow! I can't believe how fast Christmas and New Year's flew by! I have been trying to craft like crazy but actually got more cleaning of my scraproom done than anything else! It's far from clean but.... at least I can see part of my desk top!
I was lucky enough to get a few samples of the new Action Wobbles that will be released to stores soon. I haven't figured out how to download videos from my phone to my computer yet but as soon as I do I will post a video of this card in action! For now, here's a photo:
I cut this adorable lamb from the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge. Then I used some fabulous Imaginisce papers, my i-rock, a Martha Stewart border punch and my Pink By Design Country Life stamp set to put together this card! I embossed the white layer with my D'Vine Swirl Cuttlebug folder. Instead of adding Pop Dots to my lamb like I normally would I decided to add the wobble feature. It's like a little spring and the lamp jiggles around! I will seriously try to figure out the video stuff ASAP! I can't wait until I can get a bigger pack of the Action Wobbles!!!!

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #7: Thank You Color Challenge
This weeks Cricut Circle Challenge is all about saying "Thank You" Cultivating an attitude of gratitude is a great way to enrich our daily lives. This week's challenge is to create a THANK YOU card using a minimum of 2 different Cricut Cuts and the color inspiration provided below.
Magenta, Apricot, Deep Olive, and Golden Yellow. The color inspiration came from this photo, an aerial view of tulip fields.
Isn't this beautiful? Makes me want to hop a plane for Holland! So feeling inspired and motivated to try out my new Gypsy I decided to create a card from my Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge.
I am so thrilled with how my little owl turned out! I cut him at 5" tall. I liked the pink I chose but once I assembled him I decided that it could use a little shimmer... so I added some Scarlet Glimmer Mist! The yellow doesn't show up great in the photo but I wanted to capture the shimmer on the owl. To finish him off I added some gold i-rock studs to his wings. I just LOVE my i-rock!!! I used my Gypsy to weld two of the owl shadows together to create the card base.
Since the challenge is for a "Thank You" card that's what I turned this into but you could really use this for anything! I grabbed my Wild Card cartridge for the "Heartfelt Thanks" sentiment. I cut it at 2" from the Orange and the Pink and then cut it apart to layer it. I had fun with this challenge and I really want to make more fun animal cards with this cartridge!

Thanksgiving Layout
Halloween is over and it's November so I was in the mood to finally scrap these photos from Thanksgiving 2008. I actually have another Turkey Day layout because we had 2 feasts that year! I found these adorable papers from Reminisce in an awesome scrapbook store this summer when we visited Woodstock, IL. I only wish now that I had bought 4 of each sheet instead of only 2, LOL!
The sketch came from one of the awesome Sketch Books that I won from the Scrapbooking Ali Blog. I can't wait to own all of her amazing books! I used the Lyrical Letters Cricut Cartridge to cut the title. This cartridge has some really cool fonts on it.
You may have also noticed this GORGEOUS flower on my layout as well. It can be purchased in the Precocious Paper Etsy Store. There are so many beautiful flowers in this store it's hard to pic my favorites! This one is one of the Orange Glitter Flowers and you can buy a PAIR of these for only $2.25! You may notice I added to this flower a tad buy making a turkey brad with my awesome i-top tool. It's so simple to make custom embellishments, so I do!
This adorable turkey cut is from the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge. I serious LOVE this cartridge and all of the adorable characters on it! I blinged up his feathers with some copper colored i-rock gems. I find myself looking for places to add these fun touches to! Imaginisce makes some of the best tools!

Imaginisce October Sketch Challenge Entry
Those of you who know me or are regular followers probably know that I normally create two page layouts. Well, Imaginisce has monthy challenges and this is the sketch that I am working with:
I actually thought about stretching it to make it a two pager but when I searched my hoard, uh, stash for just the right papers for this challenge I came across this gorgeous paper that I've be hoarding for at least two years! Well, I didn't have enough paper to stretch the sketch so I actually made a one page layout. I bought this paper before I learned to buy two of everything!
Isn't this paper GORGEOUS? It's all from the "For Peeps Sake" line. It's so springy and glittery, I just love it! It was actually really hard to cut this paper up. And to top it off... I had an experiment go horribly wrong and change the entire plan I had in my head. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled with the results and I learned a few lessons along the way.
This is my first attempt at one of those fun pleated flowers everyone has been creating. I love the way it turned out and if you'll notice the brad in the center was created with my i-top and then blinged out with my i-rock! I love using both of these tools because they are so easy and add that "something extra" to my projects. The border punch I used was from Martha Stewart called Cherish. It is actually one of the new Punch Around the Page punches and I think it's so cute!
The banner title was created using my Country Life Cricut Cartridge. This is one of those cartridge that I thought I didn't *need* but when I saw the banner font I HAD to have it! Next on the agenda is creating a banner for each of my daughters. But I digress, I cut both layers of the banner and then adhered them to a piece of floss from my stash with Scor-Tape. I actually left it free floating on the page. After I got it just the way I wanted I thought it was still a tad bit plain. Enter my i-rock once again! I wish I would have thought of adding the bling BEFORE I stuck the banner on the page but again, lesson learned! I'm so thrilled with how this layout turned out with all the layers and texture. Oh, I almost forget! I finally used my Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots on this page! Instead of pulling out the foam squares I used the Scrap Dots to attach my photo and the raised paper panel. It was cool that I didn't have to guess at how many foam squares high I wanted things, I just blobbed out the glue and then let my paper dry on a flat surface. I did the same on the photo and I loved how quick and easy it was to do! Thanks for reading!
