February layout

Here is our February layout. Sorry late in posting..I had forgotten to take my camera to class, but here it is..came out really nice, I had several at the class, but unfortunately, I haven't gotten a chance to get a picture of their layouts. One decided not to do the calendar page, but use the layout to make a page called SISTERS and it was gorgeous. I love the creativity of this class as we come in with a design and everyone leaves with their own piece of artwork...or should I say page layout...but I call it art. :)

Die cut of my son thanks to Susan Uncle

Here is a diecut of our son, thanks to Susan, who spent several hours doing this just for me. I shed many tears as I saw this cut come to life. This is one of the last pictures taken of our son by his brother as they went kayaking for the first time when they went to a camp with their dad. Thanks to Susan I have a diecut that I cherish. I can't wait for the tutorial so I can make many more and help my fellow scrappers make theirs.




Click on the link below to get the Surecutsalot program that you can use with your Cricut. You can now cut any true type fonts, and just about any jpeg, bmp file, as well as cliparts and dingbats. Save this link and check it out. I love this program and use it on almost all my cuts. This is the program that was used to make this cut possible.

Twas the Night Before

I am so sorry for taking so long to post this layout that we did way back in January.
This definitely was a labor of love as we laid a wood floor with 1/4" pieces of inked paper, we made a window frame adding transparency sheet to the window to add to the effect of looking through glass. We used several Cricut cartridges, Christmas Cheer, Paper dolls, Scal for the rocking chair and kitty, we also used inking, chalking, brads. This is Bev's layout, and she did such a good job, when I get the others here, we will try to post them as well.

Magnolia Stamps Cardmaking Class at SCRAPS

Saturday I offered a cardmaking class at SCRAPS featuring one of my favorite stamps "Magnolia"

I had planned on 3 to 4 ladies attending, which I had 3, but I was totally unprepared when we had 6 teenage girls come in to make a card. Actually, only 4 of them stayed to make the card. They were so good, and patient with me, as I had to cut their cards and get more things ready for them, not to mention we had to share blending pens and waterbrushes.

We had a very good time and their cards came out so good...everyone used their own talents and ideas in the creation of their cards...yes, we had a model card to go by, but they made them truly their own. Truly they all were great "scraplifters" :)

One more card will be added as this cardmaker also did her card a little different and she wanted to add vellum to her card so we will post her card at a later time.

Please leave a comment on their cards so that we can encourage them to continue in this hobby we all love.

I had a great time teaching this class...great students...everyone followed directions and did such a wonderful job...someone is going to be very pleased when they receive these cards.
Thanks for looking.

Valentine Night

Tonights class was geared to making that special someones in our lives a card and a little holder for some CHOCOLATE! These cutouts were done in SCAL, I love that program!

Thinking of You card Challenge

A couple of weeks ago I challenged my scrappers to create a Thinking of You card and that I would post them for others to see and vote/comment on and the one with the most comments will win a little Valentine Stamp...good luck! So here are the girls cards...I must say they all did a wonderful job and each one was totally different from the others..no two alike at all:) When you comment, just call them card 1, card 2, card 3, card 4, they are listed with the front of the card and if they did a co-ordinting inside page. I think one just did the outside page. Thank you for participating.
