I Love My Gypsy

Hello Cricutjunkies,
I know I have been MIA for a while, but I have been so preoccupied with my new toy {The Gypsy}
Yes!! I finally bought one. The videos were intimidating especially if you don't have a Gypsy.  Thank all of you for the great videos they are a lifesaver. Check out my first Gypsy project Mr. Snowman and Mrs. Snowoman.

Snowman is from Stretch Your Imagination

Snowoman is from Gypsy Wanderings

I used the hide feature (my favorite) on the face

Peachy Keen Stamps - Rag Doll Faces

Hope everyone have a Wonderful Christmas and enjoy the Holiday with your families.

Throwback Thursday Cricutless Challenge #128

Hello Cricutjunkies,
I am entering Emma's challenge to create a thank u card without the Cricut or the Gypsy. (I still don't have a Gypsy) coming soon. I love making envelope cards because it is easy to adjust the size. Although each card I make the size comes out different (go figure) Hope you enjoy.

Recipe:  6x6  (I think)

Cardstock - Martha Stewart   (love her card stock)

Pattern paper - Luxe cashmere sweater II Pecan Pie

(Tuesday Morning 12x12 (25) sheets for $2.99 great deal) Cricut friendly

Ribbon - Paper wishes

Don't remember where I bought the flowers but I love the color combo

Rub Ons - Probably Big Lots

My First Stampin Up SWAP

I recently started using Stampin Up products and instantly fell in love, then my Stampin Up representative introduced me to a SWAP and I fell in love again.  The SWAP was to make 6 birthday cards of the same design then you swap with other ladies. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the swap but I did drop off my cards and in return received 6 really nice ones. I love this idea... I wanted to thank the ladies and my Stampin Up rep "Janice Klaus" for the great cards.    

Cricut Cardz Challenge #50

For this challenge I had to think back on what cartridges have the card feature (I really need a Gypsy) Hope you enjoy!!

Throwback Thursday

I was blog hoping and decided to enter my first contest Joys Life "Act of kindness"

The challenge was to make an animal card using the everyday paper doll
cartridge. I don't have any animals so I decided to make an Alien.
Hope you like it.
