More Weddings Pages Done!! (Finally!!)

I finally got another two page layout done for my daughter's wedding album. Whew! I still have a lot more to go, however it sure felt good to get something done. It was hard to take good pictures as I was, 1. too lazy to get out my mini photo studio and 2. all the silver and bling. I used Creative Memories paper flowers, Heidi Swapp bling, ribbon, grand adhesions, dazzlers, vellum, perfect layers (to mat), and SCAL (for those two silver blobs that say silly best-they don't look like blobs in person). I would love to get another two pages done, however I think I am back to the shipping madness tomorrow!

Tilda & Copic Markers

I am loving my copic markers and new Tilda stamps. I need lots, and lots of practice, however practice makes perfect! I already see some mistakes but that is part of the learning process and I don't mind showing off my beautiful creations, and the ones that aren't so good either. This helps us all learn and grow at out craft. I also posted this on the Cutters Creek Design Team blog, as I am hoping that some of my members will be coloring with copics and teach me a thing or too, also!

Limited Edition Minis are COMING!!!

I hear these limited release cartridges are on their way to stores! How exciting! The MSRP of these is $25.99 to make them more affordable to Cricut consumers. There are approx 50 images on each cartridge. This first release is: Snow Friends, Very Merry Tags, and When It's Cold Outside. Cutters Creek still has a few in stock, so run go get them, because once these are sold out, they are gone for good, hence the name "Limited Edition".

New Cricut Cartridge Destinations!!!

So it seems that HSN has another exclusive. At 4 pm this afternoon, I received and email from HSN, as I requested an update when the Gypsy arrived back in stock. And low and behold there is a new exclusive cartridge, Destinations, available at HSN with the Gypsy package. I think I would be just a tad upset if I bought the "world launch" Gypsy and got Don Juan (I already own Don Juan) to find out for $15 more I could have a never seen before cartridge. No.............not a tad upset, a lot upset!!! Provo Craft keeps saying they want to be customer service friendly, well I have to say, I would be returning my Gypsy to HSN (you all are still in the 30 day window) and buy this one for $15 more dollars. You still get flex pay and free shipping and a brand new exclusive cartridge! I didn't want the $300 deal because of Don Juan, this.............I might think about. What do you think?!?!?

And before you ask, I have no clue what is on this cartridge. By the photo of the front of the box, I am assuming that there are places like Paris, Rome, etc............

Breast Cancer Awareness Month..........Thank you, my Friend!

Sometimes, your friends do something that just makes you stare in awe. This was just one of those occasions. My dear friend. Cindy E from StampingScrapping made this gorgeous card from me in honor of both my fight with breast cancer and our ever growing friendship. She posted it on her blog, waiting until I was seated at my computer and then gave me the "go!". As I refreshed her blog, this is what came up. I so can't wait to get this in the mail. If you would like to see the whole thing and get the instructions on how to make this beautiful card, click HERE. It is friends like this, that keeps our lives so full of love and hope.

Thank you Cindy E, I love you............
