Recent Projects

I love Love LOVE the Wild Card Cricut cartridge!

I used the Wild Card cartridge for the card and envie and the 09KutUps.ttf with SCAL for the scalloped circle in the middle.

This one is the Wild Card cartridge for the card, oval, and sentiment and Walk in My Garden for the flower.

Here I used Stretch Your Imagination for the card and totally winged it on the envie as SYI doesn't have a coordinating envie.

This embossed tag was one of the projects from the last crop. The tag was cut using 09KutUps.ttf and SCAL and then stamped with embossing glue and a wood-mounted stamp. I demo'd how to use a heat gun and how to ink the edges.

Here's a layout I did when I should have been having my appendix removed. Despite the pain, I was quite happy with it. I used the Storybook cartridge for the letters and A Child's Year (my favorite new cartridge) for the snowflakes. I miss that Bruno!

Halloween Products - While They Last!

Don't forget to get your Halloween products while they last! Memory Works has these spooky things from BasicGrey, Fancy Pants, Pink Paislee, My Minds Eye, and Bo Bunny. Let me know if I can get anything for you before they all disappear!

New Memory Works Products - So Darn Cute!

Check out this new Nook and Pantry line from Basic Grey. Imagine using it for a cookbook? Or pages about baking with your kids or grandkids? Or on recipe cards? So cute!
