I just had to have this stamp and was totally inspired by it....

Congratulations Card

2011-07-07T07:22:00.001-07:00

I haven't been too motivated to create much since CX closed their DT, but I need a card the other day and put this one together from different BG items that I had. Super quick card.

Something Fun! Cricut Summer in Paris – Address Book

2011-05-09T17:01:00.000-07:00

This was the project of the month (February) on the Creative Xpress website. Thought I'd share it with you. I love the images on the Summer in Paris Cricut Cartridge.

Odds n Ends

2011-03-25T17:58:00.000-07:00

The last of my last spring cleaning cards.

I don't know about you, but I am thrilled when I actually use up all of something. These are the last of some felt flower stickers that I'd been holding onto for years! About time I finally used them! LOL!

I found this already embossed left-over scrap at the bottom of that endless scrap drawer. the bird image was something that I had bought for a project that I never got around to. Feels good to use up these odds n ends finally.

This and That

2011-03-24T19:06:00.000-07:00

Just a couple more of my card creations that were inspired by the spring cleaning of my scrap drawer.

I found some of my favorite pieces of patterned paper, a stamped image, and a chipboard key in the drawer. The key got sprayed with Glimmer mist and that little bit of left over ribbon tied around it seemed like a perfect way to spruce up these left-overs.

I found all kinds of goodies in that drawer. This card used a vintage image that I had experimented with on a transparency, several different stickers, an acrylic word, and a piece of my all time favorite patterned paper.

Keychain, Push Pins, Magnets

2011-03-23T17:13:00.000-07:00

My tips and tricks for January and February at the CX store. I fell in love with the Groovy Times cartridge this month.

Push pins, magnets, and key chains are easy to create with the Cricut. Use the Cricut to cut the base for each item out of chipboard and layer other Cricut images on top.

To create the push pins, press a plain undecorated pin through the chipboard before decorating it.

Add an eyelet to the keychain after decorating is complete.

When finished decorating, cover the item with a clear acrylic glaze and let it dry.

For best drying results for the push pins press them onto a piece of cardboard before applying the glaze.

Drying will take several hours…be patient.

Bits and Pieces

2011-03-20T04:56:00.000-07:00

I decided to do a little early spring cleaning a couple of weeks ago and my scrap paper drawer was one of my targets. Once I started rummaging through the drawer I became so inspired by some of the things in it that I got on a card making roll!

I made this card from a die-cut, paint chip, and patterned paper that I found in the drawer and the stem was left over from a recent project I had been working on. I found so many goodies in that scrap drawer.

This card was inspired by a transparent photo frame I saw in the drawer, left-over shapes and some older stickers.

Tips and Tricks for Making Embellishments “Pop”

2010-12-09T16:21:00.000-08:00

Another tip that I created for the CX blog.

I love to make my embellishments “pop” off my pages and cards. It so easy to give more dimension to your embellishments by simply using foam tabs. These tabs will add a little bit of extra visual interest to any project and will certainly make an eye-catching statement. Pick one vital element on your creation and add foam tabs or tape on the back before you place it on your page or card.

Tips and Tricks (Finding Vintage Images)

2010-09-23T14:07:00.000-07:00

For the last year, I've been creating blog entries for Creative Xpress about different tips and tricks that I use. I thought that I'd start sharing them here too.

I’m often asked where I find all the vintage images that I use on my ATCs and greeting cards. I'm always on the search for new (to me) images and I employ a couple of different methods for finding them.

One of the easiest ways to obtain these images is to do an online search. There are many sites that have images available to download or copy for free. Type the words vintage postcards, vintage images, or vintage photos into your browser search. It is very important to include the word free in the search. Many images are copyrighted and require a fee to use them. Once you have found an image you like and are sure that you won’t be violating any copyrights, either download it or copy and paste it into your picture library.

The other place that I look for images is in antique shops. Many shops have postcards and old photos available for about a dollar. After I have purchased them, I scan them and edit or print them as needed.

Country Life Cricut Cards

2010-09-23T13:54:00.000-07:00

I got to play with the new Country Life cartridge this month for Creative Xpress. I love the images on this cartridge. They are different from any other cartridges that I own. I also played with new paper packages from American Crafts: I Do and Adobe. Love these new papers.

Halloween Outdoor Decor

2010-09-12T10:57:00.000-07:00

My assignment for last month at CX was to create some outdoor decorations for Halloween using the new Cricut Cartridge October 31st. There are some really great images on this cartridge. Instructions for creating these projects will be published on the Creative Xpress blog in the future.

Latest card for ATC swap

2010-08-03T06:14:00.000-07:00

The theme for this swap was "time." Had fun creating this card used a page from an old book and cut my image from the Forever Young Cricut cartridge and then colored it with pens.

Cutting Fabric with Cricut

2010-06-17T19:53:00.000-07:00

I was terrified to try cutting fabric with my Expression. After I messed around for a while, I got more comfortable with the idea and it became fun. I created this T-Shirt using the Indy Art Cricut Cartridge, a $5 shirt from Kohl's (love that store lately), and Ranger's Smooch Accent Inks.

Graduation Center Piece

2010-05-14T14:47:00.000-07:00

This is a set that I created using one of the new Cricut Solutions cartridges. I was asked to create something for a new infomercial. Hopefully you will see it soon.

Major Computer issues!

2010-05-14T14:39:00.000-07:00

Grrr....my old computer bit the dust last week. My hard-drive just up and died! I cannot remind you of the importance of saving your files somewhere else besides on your hard-drive. I lost over a year of photos, music uploads, and documents. Makes me sick that I was just too darn cheap to buy more on-line storage. I will admit that Norton was excellent about helping me restore the files that I did have saved on their site. Thank you Norton for all those hours of working with me and then just finally taking over my computer and doing the job yourself! :)

All Purpose Card using Scraps

2010-03-22T15:20:00.000-07:00

I found a leftover cut-out shape from the Cricut Home Decor cartridge in my scrap paper drawer and was inspired to create this card.

ATC Card (Coffee and Hairspray)

2010-03-22T15:18:00.001-07:00

This was for a swap I'm in this month. The theme was friendship. I cannot wait to see the other cards in this swap.

Almost forgot how to post here!

2010-03-22T15:16:00.000-07:00

I have been neglectful! Here's one of my CX assignments from January. If you haven't tried altering these bottles...you should! They're fun!

Travel Journal

2010-01-25T03:28:00.001-08:00

This was my CX project for November. I used the Designer's Calendar cartridge for the journal itself and also the decoration on the divider pages. The divider pages were made using the From My Kitchen cartridge. You can see more instructions and a product list on the blog at Creativexpress.com.

Christmas Mitten

2009-12-02T17:29:00.000-08:00

I can't get enough of making these shaped cards. They are so much fun to create. This mitten pattern is another great file from The Cutting Cafe. Be sure to check out all the new items this week!

Christmas All Around

2009-11-23T16:51:00.001-08:00

Christmas All Around is the name of the printable stamp file from The Cutting Cafe (see my link on the side) that I used to make these cards. I also used my Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder, watercolor markers, and lots of glitter to make this Christmas card set.

Santa Bingo Card

2009-11-22T15:20:00.000-08:00

Happy Holidays!

2009-10-31T13:51:00.000-07:00

I experimented with coloring a transparency for this card. I printed the Christmas bulbs on the transparency and then colored them with sharpie markers. It took a little practice to get the markers to color evenly but it can be done! The sentiment and images all came from The Cutting Cafe. I used the files: Christmas Long Phrases and Bulbs for the Tree.

2009-10-31T09:47:00.001-07:00

Quick little Thanksgiving card using Happy Thanksgiving file from The Cutting Cafe and the Doodlecharms cartridge from Cricut.

2009-09-30T17:53:00.001-07:00

Yes....another card using some of those amazing printable stamps from The Cutting Cafe! The sentiment around my window came from the For Your Neighbor file. I whipped up the house shaped card from the Cricut Wild Card Cartridge...that is one awesome cartridge. If you love making cards it would be an excellent investment.

I'll be giving away the For Your Neighbor file to one lucky winner. Just be sure to leave a comment and I'll be selecting a random winner on Wednesday! Good Luck!

I Hate Cooking

2009-09-27T13:50:00.001-07:00

...well I really dislike to cook and thought that the printed circle stamp from The Cutting Cafe was a perfect match to my thoughts! The stamp came from the file titled Kitchen Circle Words. There are lots more sentiments in these files in favor of cooking for those of you who do like to cook! I also opened one of my newest Cricut cartridges for this card. I just got From My Kitchen...lots of fun images on this cartridge!

Stand and Salute Cricut Cartridge

2009-09-23T15:43:00.000-07:00

My assignment for Creative Express last month was to highlight the Stand and Salute cartridge. If you thought this cartridge was to use for military and patriotic themes, think again. I found several different ways to use this cartridge from layouts to cards. I also used the new Basic Grey June Bug collection and for my layout I love Kaiser's Grunge collection (I think this set is just perfect for a teenage boy)

When Life Gives You Lemons....

2009-08-31T16:26:00.001-07:00

This card was created using the printable stamp file called "For the Love of Lemons" from The Cutting Cafe. There are over twenty printable stamps and phrases available in this file...all with a fun lemon theme!

Spooky Treats Just for You!

2009-08-31T16:19:00.000-07:00

School Days

2009-08-12T15:39:00.000-07:00

Destination Florida (CX Assignment May)

2009-08-04T09:36:00.001-07:00

Loved working with the MM Great Escape album and accessories to make this album about my trip to Florida.

It is Stinkin Hot!

2009-07-29T15:57:00.000-07:00

I used a wonderful cutting file from The Cutting Cafe called Sweet Shaped Cards and also a stamped file called Summer Circle Words to make this fun little ice cream cone card. There is also an envelope file for the card too!

Love is Like....

2009-07-27T13:31:00.000-07:00

I made this card using the Social Butterfly set from The Cutting Cafe for my sentiment and the Cricut Wild Card cartridge for the flower shaped card. I was experimenting a little with my border on this card and decided to weave a ribbon around the circular sentiment.

July 4th Greetings

2009-06-30T15:11:00.001-07:00

The Cutting Cafe has some adorable files for the 4th of July available and these cards are a breeze to put together quickly. Regina is also running a special on these this weekend. If you buy one of the July 4th files you get the background file for free! I can't believe that the 4th is here already...where did June go? My star card is also made from a Cutting Cafe file and includes ovals, hearts, and circle templates!

Thank Ewe

2009-06-30T15:01:00.000-07:00

These printed stamp files from the Cutting Cafe are just the cutest. There's a whole set of these printed word and stamp files. I wanted to work with the "Thank Ewe" one so that I'd get a chance to justify buying some flocking! LOL!!! Check out my link to the Cutting Cafe on my sidebar of places to shop.

It's been a while...

2009-06-24T05:31:00.000-07:00

I've been on vacation and then had some minor surgery done and I just hadn't found time to post anything...but today I have a simple card to share that I created with some stamps from Happy Little Stamps (see the link to the store)

Lyrical Letter Projects (CX April Assignments)

2009-05-30T06:14:00.001-07:00

This month at Creative Xpress, I was assigned to work with the Lyrical Letters Cartridge. This is one amazing cartridge. Would you believe it has six different fonts? I made two different cards and a layout. I had a hard time deciding which fonts and images to use...soooo many to pick from!

Because You are Sweet

2009-05-27T16:33:00.000-07:00

Who can resist these adorable shaped cupcake cards from The Cutting Cafe? ...and bonus....a envelope to fit it too! The little sentiment stamp is a perfect match for this card. The stamp is part of a set from Happy Little Stamps. I'm all set for someone to have a birthday now!

MME Bloom

2009-05-10T17:42:00.000-07:00

My assignment for CX last month was to work with the Bloom paper line by My Mind's Eye. I created an album and altered a small wooden photo frame. I fell in love with this paper line. I used every scrap of it on different projects this month. The sweet little Ava is my girlfriend's grandchild. Isn't she just the cutest?

Last Minute Mother's Day Card

2009-05-09T04:34:00.000-07:00

I seem to have procrastinated too long and am scurrying around this morning finishing this last card for Mother's Day. I used my Cricut Wild Card cartridge to make my round scalloped card and the circle stamped sentiment came from The Cutting Cafe.

Everyday is Mother's Day

2009-05-06T17:21:00.000-07:00

Needed to make a card for my mother-in-law, who'll be here for a visit on Friday. Used more of that awesome Bloom paper from MME and a cute mother's day file from The Cutting Cafe.

Let's Get Hopping - Blog Hopping with Outta This Funk!

2009-04-25T03:42:00.000-07:00

It a beautiful Saturday morning and what a great day for Outta This Funk's first blog hop! Hope you will join in the fun and hop along with us. I know you will find lots of inspiring things along the way.

I altered this notebook as my contribution to the hop today. I love to use these compostion books to hold things I find inspiring from quotes and notes to magazine clippings. They also make great gifts too! I used My Mind's Eye Bloom kit on this and I believe that MME is fast becoming one of my favorite paper companies. I have used every little scrap of that paper kit on several projects lately. I also had to play around with some more of my vintage ladies images that I've collected over the years from public domain sites on the internet.

Leave me a comment and I'll pick one name to win a small alterable notebook kit. Have fun with our hop today.

Nancy's blog is the next stop on your hop at: http://anothermdcrabbie.blogspot.com/

You're A+

2009-04-24T16:16:00.000-07:00

I'm always looking for things to make cards that I can use at school. Love this little apple stamp from Happy Little Stamps so much. I'm already thinking of other things to do with it.

Vintage Smarty Pants Cards

2009-04-18T19:21:00.000-07:00

If you know much about me, then you know how much I love old vintage images. I couldn't resist having some fun with the Smarty Pants word bubbles from the Cutting Cafe...a little mix of modern fun and some vintage imagery.

Sweet Baby!

2009-04-12T16:12:00.000-07:00

Lately it seems like so many people I know are having babies! I've needed so many baby shower gifts and cards. I created this card using cutting files from The Cutting Cafe and my Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge.

Easter Sale at The Cutting Cafe'

2009-04-10T11:02:00.001-07:00

Monogram Stationery Set (some cards)

2009-04-09T17:00:00.000-07:00

Here's a couple of the cards that I made to go with my stationery box.

Monogram Stationery Set (the box)

2009-04-09T16:29:00.000-07:00

I so love these little card boxes from The Cutting Cafe. There's even a file in this set to make matching envelopes. I'm thinking ahead to Christmas and making these for gifts. I also used the stamped monogram file to personalize the set.

Delight in the Day

2009-04-09T16:23:00.000-07:00

Fun little card that I put together with scraps from my previous card and a ready made embellishment that came with my paper kit.

Much Thanks

2009-04-05T04:46:00.000-07:00

I played with this little flower set of stamps from a store at Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6406219. Aren't they just the cutest stamps? I also couldn't wait to try out some more of my glimmer mists. Those mists are so easy to use. I just layed some shapes on my paper and sprayed away. I think my butterfly image and circle turned out pretty much the way I had envisioned.

Freedom Requires Service

2009-04-03T15:28:00.000-07:00

The second half of my assignment last month was to create a "Freedom" layout. This is DS at his CAP graduation last summer. Check out the blogs at CX for a complete supply list and set of instructions.

Happy Trails

2009-04-03T15:25:00.000-07:00

This was one of my assignments for CX last month (create a vacation layout). DH and I hiked to the highest part of the Smokey Mountains last summer. Can you tell I'm freezing???? Check out the blogs at CX for complete supply list and instructions.

E is for Easter

2009-03-25T15:20:00.000-07:00

I made this card for a challenge over at Creative Xpress. The challenge was to use a large monogram on your card. I spruced up my giant "E" (love my cricut for things like this) with some buttons, ribbon, decorative pin, and a circle sentiment from The Cutting Cafe.

Happy Easter Card

2009-03-24T16:14:00.000-07:00

I just had to try out this half circle card from the Cutting Cafe! This was just such a unique and fun shape to work with. I also used some of the Easter Sentiment stamps from the Cutting Cafe to create the cute little chick, it's egg, and my sentiment.

Please! Have a Happy Birthday!

2009-03-22T08:11:00.000-07:00

This quick little card was a breeze to finish off with the bubble word file from The Cutting Cafe. I never know what to say on a card and these little files make it sooo much easier. I also picked up some Glimmer Mist over the weekend and just couldn't wait to play with it. The mist was fun! I used the mist to outline the center of my card.

March Birthday Gift Bag

2009-02-25T18:15:00.000-08:00

I thought the circle calendar stamp from The Cutting Cafe' was a great way to personalize this birthday bag. I can't wait to fill it with some goodies for my friend's upcoming birthday. The bag was cut from the Cricut Plantin' Schoolhouse cartridge.

Experimenting with Stamps

2009-02-23T14:28:00.000-08:00

I own a bunch of stamps but I'm not always that good about getting them out and playing with them. I had bought this stamp a while back and decided that I would try using different inks with it. I made this card after I had made a few different images and came up with the idea of blending them together in one long strip.

Card Folder and all Occasion Card Set

2009-02-22T18:00:00.000-08:00

I've been so sick for the last 3 weeks that I've hardly had the energy to make anything. It felt so good this weekend to be able to create something again and to feel better too! I used three different sets from The Cutting Cafe to make this all occasion card set and the folder to hold them in too. I'm always giving away cards as gifts and this folder makes a wonderful way to present the cards. You may view the sets I used (Greeting Card Folder, Shaped Card Set, and All Occasion Circle Words Set 1) and others here: The Cutting Cafe'

Valentine's ATC

2009-02-01T16:30:00.000-08:00

I just finished this one up today for a Valentine's swap. I'm loving the new face stamp I got and seem to be using it as much as I can.

Super Simple Card

2009-01-30T14:12:00.001-08:00

The challenge for this card was to use an older patterned paper and only two elements. (that's right only 2!) I had some older KI paper and a matching chipboard frame that I used. The dymo label maker became my second element when I used it for my sentiment. Super super simple card.

Stamped Love Card

2009-01-28T16:46:00.000-08:00

I've got a few cards to share that I made over the weekend for a Cyber Crop over at CX. This card turned out to be my favorite one. I'll share the others over the next few days.

Kiss Me (Lips)

2009-01-19T14:52:00.000-08:00

I used two different cutting files to create this fun valentine's card...a border and the lips both came from the files. I use the PDF versions of the files and I love them. They really get me thinking outside my box. Check out the new website for The Cutting Cafe.

Life is Just Better With Cupcakes

2009-01-15T14:17:00.000-08:00

I absolutely loved working with this cutting file from The Cutting Cafe! Since cupcakes are one of my favorite things, it made working with the file even more fun! The file is just loaded with adorable cupcake stamps and sayings. You may view this file and others at The Cutting Cafe.

Valentine's Gift Bag

2009-01-13T14:35:00.000-08:00

One last finished challenge

2009-01-07T18:51:00.000-08:00

This challenge was to only use your cricut for embellishments. I used the Indy Art cartridge...if Cricut would just come up with a way to make ribbon and rhinestones, I'd be all set!

Another finished PJ Crop Challenge

2009-01-07T18:48:00.000-08:00

I love doing challenges. They get me thinking out of my box. I'd had this photo of my readers printed for quite a while and hadn't gotten around to doing anything with it. This was for a sketch challenge.

Challenge Completed for PJ Cropping Party

2009-01-05T14:03:00.000-08:00

On New Year's day, Team LB hosted a PJ crop at CX. One of the challenges was to create something without using any kind of electronic cutting device and use your own handwriting. I came up with this quick card. My friend and I had been experimenting with bleaching techniques and I had this stamped image that needed use...seemed like the perfect time.

Last Day of Vacation

2009-01-04T06:49:00.001-08:00

I've been off for 2 whole weeks and today's the last day. It's probably a good thing because I've been so unmotivated this last week. I think I need routine and order. Dear hubby decided that our old wallpaper in the main part of the house needed to come down and he started that mess on New Year's Eve. I have a hard time dealing with disorder. I hope this project gets finished up quickly. I really need to pick some paint colors for the walls, but I just can't seem to make a decision.

ATC Addict!

I'm addicted to making these ATC cards. I love being able to try different techniques and just let my artistic side go free. These are a couple that I made lately for some swaps.

New Year's Card

2009-01-02T05:35:00.000-08:00

This is a card I created for The Cutting Cafe'. I love how easy it is to quickly add a sentiment to my cards with the cutting files. I actually use the files in the PDF format and they work out great! More files can be viewed here: http://reginascutterdesigns.blogspot.com/

I finally took the plunge and set up my own blog. One step forward into blogdom.
