On a Whim Crafting

I know it is days after Valentine's Day but I thought I would share the cards I made for my daughter's class. It was a labor of love.

i picked up some cute scrapbook paper up at michaels. some of it was clearance priced at 19 cents a sheet. I also picked up mom's diner sheets at 25 cents a sheet. Im also thinking of making some t-shirts but need to make one more michaels stop since the shirts are priced at 2 bucks a piece. OH hunny... debit card please, LOL. (fingers crossed) Im hoping to get an early start to my day so I have time to play with my cricut. It sits so sadly in the corner just begging me to play with it.

I still have to post the pictures of my calendar but for now I thought I would share with you the cake I made my daughter for her 7th birthday. All came out well except for the lettering done with the writing gel, it was watery, but once I started I had to finish. Oh well I will get it right someday.lol.

I know it has been a month since my last post. First I must say that I FORGOT to take a picture of the China doll we made for my daughters project. Second with the holidays and the kids home from school it was hard to get anything done. I spent so much time at the doctors office over the winter break the doctor should have had a reserved parking for me, lol. Well everyone is healthy again and back in school. My first project of the year was a calendar of my children and grandchildren which took me one afternoon and the following morning to do. I used Simply Charmed cartridge for the embellishments and print creations software which came with my Kodak printer. Well today I have butterflies, since I will be taking my fitness test for police trainee, if I pass I will get to to to the academy which will start in June. If not I will have one more opportunity mid January. Wish me luck. Having trouble uploading the pictures I took of my calendar but I will get them up soon. Bye for now, S...

I know long silence. However this house has been crazy, Thanksgiving and Christmas decorating have left me craft less. I am however working on a project with my little girl A for school. She has to make a child dressed in traditional clothes from China. I am using Pagoda. when we are done I will post pictures.

My baby girl is adorable and so photogenic. I have been wanting to put this picture of her in my scrapbook but just had not had the time to do a whole layout. So to save some time I took a 12x12 patterned paper and cut out the heart from potpourri cartridge at 11 inches and placed it on solid pink cardstock. Next at 2 1/2 inches I cut out the LOVE also on the same button as the heart. Last I added her picture which already had a border which I added at the time of print from Walgreens photo center. Happy with how it turned out.

I have been busy putting together some good stuff. Today I made a few decor pieces for my daughter's room. I used the rock princess cartridge and cut the cute scull with the bow at 11 1/2 inches. Using the the heart font I also put together a name plate. I used the rose cut at 3 1/2 inches from the potpourri cartridge. had a lot of fun doing all of this.
