Easter Greetings

Spring is in the air! My greens are beginning to sprout! *sigh* it snowed the other day, but I'm thinking positive even though today was not such a great day.... And It's FRIDAY!  I thought Friday's were supposed to be fantabulous!  Apparantly not this Friday!  Anyway!

I created my 1st ever Easter Card!  I'm amazed at how cute it turned out! As I've mentioned before, I am not the worlds greatest crafter and my creative side has gone missing.... But! If I do say so myself... not to shabby! Check it out!

Where have you been?

Seems like forever since I have blogged about my creations~ oh well, it has been forever! I really have been busy creating! I've made some layouts, a few cards and now i'm helping a friend make wedding shower invites!

My dilema now: getting my layouts online to show them to friends and family! My 12x12 layouts from our Disney trip last September are nearly completed.  I have taken a few pictures and you can see the layout but you can't see the images in the photo itself! I'm sure there is a way, I'm just not thinking clearly about it!

In my busy life of work, family and scrapping I've been thinking a lot about becoming a demonstrator for Stampin' Up! A lot of blogs that I have reviewed lately use Stampin' Up products and I just love them.  So, I have a meeting on Sunday afternoon to see if this is something that I want to do! *fingers crossed* it could be fun!

Cricut to the rescue

Have I mentioned before how much I LOVE my Cricut?  Well .... I do!  Tonight we had a 911 school emergency!!  The project my daughter was working on for the past week was eaten by the dog... the ironic part... it was a menu she had to create for Spanish class.  Thinking we were going to be up all night, we were saved not only by Cricut, but because the menu itself was saved and reprinted.  Thank you Cricut for being in our lives and quickly helping redo the school project!

Tricked Cricut~ Birthday Card

Cricut Cricut Cricut.... why you gotta be buggin' *hehe get it* me like this!?!  I am good to you I use you  a lot... (more than my elliptical and Zumba dvd's that I just had to have) and yet you pain me so!  Okay, not really... but girsh darn it.... please stop playing around with my paper!  I don't have time for your shinanagins... I have projects to create and you are making me waste valuable time!  But... today I have outsmarted you...did you notice!  Tonight I did not allow you to play tricks on me while papers were being cut... hehe... good thing I used my noggin' by using my Scrapbook Adhesive tape and stickin' it to ya!  HA!

All in all Cricut I think we did pretty good tonight makin' our first ever birthday card for my mom. I'm not a creative person, but some how I managed to pull this one off!  I used the Rock Princess Cartridge for the font and the cupcake and regular paper for everything else!  I tried to use the Calligraphy Cartridge "Happy Birthday" but... it wasn't turning out so well! Sure hope mom likes it!
