Back to my scrapbooking roots

Pin It

 Well I decided to take the plunge and head on back to the company that gave me my start in Scrapbooking.

I signed up to become a consultant with Creative Memories once again. Wow how they have changed! If you haven't checked them out in a while you definitely should. They have some amazing new tools and great papers. Of course my number one reason to rejoin was the albums!

If there is anything I can do to assist you or any questions I can answer please reach out. It would be my pleasure. Thank you!

Cricut Mug Press and Markers

Pin It

So I received a Cricut Mug Press for Christmas and am finally starting to play around with it. I also got some of the infusible ink pens. So I decided to give this a go. When using the pens you only get an outline. Then you have to go through and color the design in before you heat set it. The image is not as crisp and clean as I would like it. But it is still pretty cool. 

I'm getting a sublimation printer and look forward to creating some cool things with that ink rather than the pens!

  I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!

Too Long! But Hopefully worth the wait!

Hello crafty friends!

Life has been full of fun and not so fun things! I hope that you have all been well! I am recovering from a total knee replacement and haven't really been able to do a whole lot of crafty the past few months. I'm seven weeks out now and finally at a place where I can sit for a length of time and create so this make me super happy! My Etsy shop is open again and things are shining bright!

So today I thought I would share my newest creation with you!

I created this fun layout for a customer using some Miss Kate files and Cricut files combined. Hope you enjoy it!

On to my next projects...I have some new fun things in mind!!

 I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!

Pin It

 Welcome to our Bitten by the Bug and Double Trouble Challenge collaboration. The theme for the next two weeks is "Warm & Cozy - Layer Up".  

This Challenge runs from 

Monday,  January 3rd thru Monday, January 17th 

Below are the details of the challenge and for this last challenge you may use a die cut not necessarily Cricut made.  Yes, I said the last challenge. Unfortunately, work and personal life have taken a toll on our leader's time and she can no longer keep up with the demands of a challenge blog. Alicia would love to continue when her life allows. We are excited to go out on a high note collaborating with Double Trouble Challenge blog. 

Thing 1: Trouble Maker

says, "Today we're celebrating two special things - our 100th Challenge and Cuddle Up Day on January 6th! There's been nothing better than cuddling up with your sweet creations for 100 challenges and we hope that you feel the same way.  

For Cuddle Up Day, let's think cozy and warm...  Layer Up!  You MUST use at least one die, punch, or machine cut and include at least two or more layers on your project. Bring on your card layering techniques and Layer Up."      

You can stop here...

Or
You can go on to Twisted Sister's Optional Twist 

Thing 3: Twisted Sister

says, "My favorite thing to cuddle with is a good book. 

There are lots of other Things you can cuddle up with such as a sweater, mittens, quilt, easy chair, book, fur-babies, stuffed animal, fireside, etc.  Include your favorite cuddle up Thing.  What is your favorite?  

If you have included the optional twist in your project, you will have earned another chance in our usual random draw.  

Thing 2: Double Dare

says, "Bitten by the Bug 2 is a challenge that usually requires the inclusion of a cut from a Cricut machine, however, we CUT a Die'al with them. For this challenge only, our partner is accepting the use of cut items from punches, dies, and any cutting machine, but NO fussy-cutting!  Enter the Bitten by The Bug 2 Challenge for an extra chance in our usual random draw prize.  

 

Here's my chilly layout!! It may be chilly but these adorable snowman are keeping warm with their hats and scarves. I just love them!
