Baby Lo using my Imagine

Hi Crafty friends!  I have a lo that I made to put my own baby pic on, but guess what?  I can't find the one and only pic I have of me as a baby!!  I know it is here somewhere, but where I just can't put my finger on it.  I saw it when my craft room was in the basement bedroom, but then my son wanted that room and he moved my room upstairs into his old room and now I can't find it. lol  It will turn up I'm sure.  Anway on to my lo.  I was supper pumped because I finally used my Imagine after many problems with it.  I got it and had to send it back because it wouldn't work, then got the replacement and low and behold the cart wouldn't work in it, so had to wait for that to be replaced. Then it sat there before I used it.  So I decided to use it to print all my paper for my lo using the Blossom cart.  The paper is just beautiful and the pics doesn't do it justice, looks so much prettier in person.  So all the paper on this lo was done using white cardstock and the Imagine and Blossom cart.  I also used the Nursery Rhyme cart with the Imagine and place the color right into the image! So cool!!! lol  The cute little buttons are from SU. I thought they were perfect and the colors matched so well!! I plan on putting a copy of my birth certificate in the journaling box along with my pic as soon as I find it.  Thanks for looking my friends and remember you can click on the pics to see them bigger to see the details of the paper.  I am entering this in the Lasting Memories Challenge this week which is to use bling on your lo.  I used some rinestones and stickles for my bling.

Paper Pumpkin

Hi my crafty friends, I hope that you day has been a good one.  One more day and it is a TGIF day!!  The wind blew and gusted to hard today, that I just stayed in and worked on this cute little paper pumpkin.  It is very popular right now and just as cute as it can be.  It started out as a free project sheet from Archivers and people started to share them on the internet and how to make them.  They are very easy, but time consuming-but well worth it. lol  Here is the link if you want to make one!!!   http://mrsbscraftroom.blogspot.com/2011/10/paper-pumpkin.html  I do plan on making some more, but I have plans on adding two more rosettes to make it more rounder.  Have fun making this cute little pumpkin!!!

Thanksgiving Wreath

Back again my crafty friends.  I have a rosette wreath and they are so hot right now. lol  Everyone is making them so I had to join the bandwagon to and make one or two or maybe even three.  But lets start with one for now.  I cut a 12 x 12 fall paper in half, scored on the 12 inch side for the whole 6x12 sheet.  Then I took and cut my 6x12 sheet into 4-1 1/2x6 strips.  Then I fan folded each one and hot glued to a circle.  For my medium and small rosettes I used the Tim Holtz double rosette maker.  This has two different sized rosettes on it.  I really need to get the big one he has then I wouldn't have had to make the 1 1/2x6 by hand. lol  I didn't mind though.  I used SU ribbon and buttons and the Thanksgiving Cricut cart for my die cuts.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out and plan on making more of these as they are so cute and festive hanging in the house!

Alien Birthday Card

Hi my crafty friends, hope all is well in your part of the world!!  I made a cute little alien birthday card for a cute little fella.  We had missed his birthday party, so I wanted to try and make up for that my having a fun card for him.  I used the Alien from Toy Story and his spaceship.  I also used My Pink Stamper sentiment as well as a sentiment from Paper Trey Ink.  I placed these guys on a twisted easel card as the men in my life just think these are so cool. lol  I should have made the spaceship bigger, but live and learn.  Thanks for looking!!

Step Card

This step card is a great way to make an announcemennt, like a graduation announcement, a baby announcement, etc...You get the picture. lol  So I thought that I might make a few of these for Christmas to send to far off relatives with the picture of our new grandson.  It makes for a cute card and then they can have a pic of this little cutie patootie!  Don't ya think??? Yea, both the card and the little cute baby. lol  I didn't use any Cricut on this one, but you certainly could and I might for future ones.  For this one, I just used SU stamps.  Thanks for your wonderful support my friends, I love reading your comments!!
