With my final project I went STICKLE CRAZY! Oh yeah!  I decided to do a different color scheme and to do a layout. I used a picture I took during one of our rare snow days here in Hot Springs, Arkansas. This picture is from 2 years ago. This was in my neighbors' yard and she had all these beautiful decorations and some were covered in snow.

I used my Imagine to make the background paper and actually ALL THE Paper products... were from the cartridge SNOW ANGEL. I love this cart! I used the Christmas Red, Lime Green, Crystal of STICKLES now in two areas I tried Waterfall on the "&" symbol but ended up getting it on me.. and I tried Icicle but something in the glitter didn't sit right so  I switched to Crystal and then it shined right.. I put it on the snow that was on the letters. I tried to leave some of them a little bare so you could see what it really looked like.  

Thank you Christie Beatie! She had Zip Dry and guess what.. told me that HOBBY LOBBY sells it. So then  I went to HL AND... they honored the coupon from my phone! I got the last bottle yippeeee.  I also used my Glue Glider Pro. I used My Irock on one of the ornaments, then on another ornament a Twinkle Brad from CTMH , and on the last ornament a Gemstone Brad from Recollections. I also learned I could used my Irock and bling up the plain white snowflake brads that are on the two upper corners of the picture. 

Warning!!!! Took several shots because the lighting was giving me troubles.  

So here goes:

Using regular lighting on a chair kind of bland

Twinkle Brad from CTMH

Recollections - Gemstone Brad

Used Irock Bling

Stickles-Christmas Red, Lime Green, Crystal

Used Irock on top of the brad cool huh!

Used Auto Correct for brightness a little better

The picture.. seemed melancholy or peaceful..

Thank you for looking and leaving comments and following. 

This has been a fun hop! Definitely got me in the mood for Christmas!

In todays card I used the other Snowman in the PKS stamp duo set with Cottage Cutz. This fellow is wearing his fancy top hat and has his eyes open!  I used a basic shape that was on my Cricut Image for the foil paper. I used the same paper as yesterday.  I don't own a sewing machine so my stitching is really just a gelly roll pen. I've seen other folks use this trick. Pretty cool and a lot easier on my fingers and budget. LOL I used some gold and red stickles and some stamps from Michaels.. yes those studio G ones.. I needed vertical stamps for the sides. The flower is from Making Memories.. something I picked up on clearance at some point.  Thank you for looking. Hope you enjoy it.

I used some Twinkle Brads - Jolly from Close To My Heart.

My next set of Iron-On Shirts for a baby shower

I didn't want to get depressed. I lost my job this week after 8 years. They just decided to eliminate.. Computer Admin. So if they aren't ... replacing me.. who is gonna do the backups , updates new purchases and the gazillion other things  I did daily. Hmm They said to clean out my office the next day. Hmmm Ok what's the rush. Hmm and they don't pay into unemployment. Luckily I will get a severance check.
So since I had already purchased the shirts to go to this shower...the daughter of a former coworker.. I thought what the heck Lets go!
So I doctored up the onesies. The sun was not shining well for me today. LOL

Nursery Tails tag with a pop dot

So there ya go. My  cute little onsies.

Since I'm gonna have some time on my hands while looking for a job.. I think I'm gonna use my time wisely and FUNLY.. hahah is that a word??? I'm gonna be happy scrappn!

Smiley Cards Mini-Blog Hop

Crazy about Cricut had an idea late last night about doing a mini blog hop this morning, with cuts from the new Gypsy download....(you have till tomorrow to register your gypsy for this exclusive download!)

This is a quick card from Smiley Cards. Now this was truly last minute so bear with me. 

I used stamps from Pink By Design from Take the Cake set.

 I thought I was doing Blackletter one of the other free downloads so I'll show the little embellishments I made with them as well.  I am also happy to say it was the first time using my Gypsy with the Imagine. The Imagine cuts way better for me than my E. Hooray!! My first hop too. Lots of firsts today!!

I cut out a blue M and popdotted it to the M inside that  I welded.

I loved this symbol and welded it to a frame. You could open it up and there is a pic.

Putting the shield inside the frame used my Bic Markit markers

The Mini Blog Hop goes as follows:

My little trip to Michael's today

So I went to only get the Deep Cut blade.. but wandered around and found some other things.
I really wanted to get some Halloween ribbons so I wouldn't be caught off guard next year.
I might still do something this year!

Cute! Thanksgiving and Christmas!

I LOVE THIS. $1.99 from $3.99

Buttons and Minibrads, my Blade and Ribbon!

Gonna enjoy this I'm sure.

July this year.. My first entry ever into anyone's challenge.....

Thank you Emma.

This is the challenge I entered.  I am including her link and my entry.

This was fun! I love the bright colors! I used the Happy birthday Cuttlebug folders.. and used a little chalking on them. I used my Celebrations cartridge and I used the Irock as well.

I had fun. I also love blog hops as well. 

Back in August of this year...

I entered my first Peachy Keen Challenge. It was Challenge 35, Color Combo Sketch Challenge.
I have fun using my Asian Cuttlebug Folders.
I stickled the butterflies and used a stamping embossing type tip for the background. I love my lady.

The Birthday Card I did for my Niece

My niece Lynsday's birthday was Sept 24th, turning 2, and I made a little card for her.

I was able to attend her birthday party and here's a pic of her and the card I made.

I love my Peachy Keen Stamps.. I also used my new Pink by Design stamps. The title set of stamps is Simply Everything from the Pink by Design. It worked perfectly. I played with my Copic markers to color the little guy. I did used stickles on the birds's legs.. and I used my Sakura gelly roll on the scalloped edges. Oh yeah and I used my Cuttlebug folders.. the Happy Birthday and my new folder set Measure by Measure.. the stars were for the border. I used my Cricut Cartridge Just Because.

We had a good time at her party.

My First EVER IRON ON T-SHIRTS using the Imagine!

I've seen so many cute shirts out there. I thought I'll give it a shot! I am showing the item I bought at Michaels and the 2 shirts I made for my nephew Kai. He was born on Halloween. He will be 3.  I'm waiting for JT and the Carnival carts to arrive so in the meantime I am playing with what I got. The first shirt I used Imagine More. The second shirt I plugged in Life is a Beach and flood filled from Imagine More. Today Michaels has that coupon for items that are onsale so  I might get some more shirts cuz I think my niece needs some shirts as well. I had problems with this FUSE sticking to the mat. The second shirt I had to hit stop and manually cut out all the elements. Hmm wonder how I can get it to stick better hmm.

Using Imagine More

Bought at my local Michaels

Life is a Beach Cart Flood filled from Imagine More

That's all for now. I hope the colors show. I did take the pics outside.

Some Images of Cuts

Here are some Images of things I cut out using the layer feature on the Imagine when I first got it.
