Here is our Furry Friend

How cute is this little Puppy.........I cut it from 'Sweet Hearts' cricut cartridge. I then tried to match the markings on our dog.... colouring him in:) The papers are a mixture of Kaiser and DCWV Pet stack......great for this challenge. It took me a little while to find this paw shape stamp amongst my stash.......I new I had one somewhere...........I think they  look kinda cute going up the page!

This is the sketch from 'Page Maps' that I followed........We love our dog.......love this sketch with all the Hearts.....perfect for my theme:)

Thanks for visiting......Have a fabulous week

"MY PINK STAMPER"

She has donated this "Sport-tastic" stamp set.

So come and play with us  for your chance of winning!

The challenge this week was to incorporate at least 3 circles on our card...............I cut 3 scallop circles from the Mini Monograms cartridge .

Heart X O...............

LIFE sometimes just gets so busy its hard to find the time to do the things you enjoy!............. All week I've been trying to get back in my craft room. I also have been slightly side tracked, which happens quite often! Anyway I love doily's..........I've have always wanted to learn how to crochet to make my own. So, on Friday Tereesa came over ........we enjoyed wine and cheese and I got my first ever crochet lesson. I must say she is a great teacher and has a lot of patience!  I have been practising ever since.........At  one stage I did consider giving up, thinking I have containers full of vintage doily's that I've collected I'll just cut them up, that would be so much easier. LOL

Anyway that's what I've been up to......................Here is a layout  that I did last night, when I put my crochet hook down...ha ha ha. This picture was taken just before Christmas of Paul and my self,........ we don't have many photo's of us together and I thought this one was quite a nice ........so why not scrap it for Valentines Day!

Challenges I'm entering........

"Fantabulous Cricut" is having a "Share the Love " challenge - put the word love on your creation.......its stamped down the bottom using my favourite Stampin up set "Love Defined" The little tree is from that too.

Bride & Groom

This week has been quite busy around here........On Saturday Paul flew  to Canada to surprise his mum for her 80th birthday..........and yes I  sent him with a shopping list. Actually thats not quite right.....I emailed his brother a couple weeks ago with a list LOL!
 The rest of us are flying to Sydney for my nieces wedding, it will be great catching up with family I haven't seen for a while.
Today I'd like to show you the card I made for her.........Ashleigh will be wearing ivory and the bridesmaids will be dressed in pink, so as you can see I based the colours for my card around that.

Its kinda shabby looking........not the way I originally planned ( what plan?) All I knew was I wanted to use the bride & groom cut!
Sweet Hearts cartridge was used to cut the Bride , Groom and heart. Then I just added some extra little bits and pieces I had in my stash.

Have a great week.........see you soon

Sisters

 This photo was taken  yesterday of my two girls. They had bought the same top and happen to be wearing it on the same day..........I thought it was a perfect photo opportunity, this will make it easy for me to co-ordinate my paper with the picture!  And how well does the doily match their tops! LOL
The paper I have used is Kaiser "Flutterby" .

I'm entering this page in a challenge at "Show us your stuff" blog. This week we have to follow a recipe..... Stitching - around the heart, Buttons, 4 different pattern papers, Misting - on the large flower and something handmade - large flower.

Passionately Artistic is  having a "linky party" head over there to check out all the fabulous creations.

My cricut  was also used to cut a few things..........

Heart - Love struck

Frame behind photo - Sweet Hearts

Scallop border - Martha Stewart all occasions

George - large flower

Have a great week .......see you again soon

Vintage Christmas.................

I love using vintage images on cards..........Today I have a few Christmas cards to show you.

Both cards are 5 1/2 in square.............Some lace, ric rac and my favourite little heart buttons. The frame behind Santa is cut from "Sweet Hearts cartridge". Can you see it ? Square cards would be my favourite to work with.......you can put so much more on them!

The card below I used "Mother day cartridge" to cut the doily. I have to mention the little ribbon rose.........I made it, my first ever! I think it looks really pretty sitting on top of the doily.

Hope you like my cards

Bye 4 now

Tracey

Wish Big

Just a quick post today to show you a fun card I made for my son Matt who turned 13 today...........10/10/2010...........It is suppose to be a lucky day.

The Gum ball machine is from "Sweet Hearts" cartridge and cut at 4.60 in.

We have our own antique Gum Ball machine, I tried to make this one look the same.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend

Cafe Card

I just love this card! I found it at "A Place for My Cards"made by Jeannie Phillips. She has a wonderful tutorial on her blog to help you re-create it. She used her Gypsy........I used Design Studio.

My niece announced her engagement last weekend, so when I saw this card, I thought it would be perfect.

I love the simplicity of it , just using the Black Gel pens to draw the cafe. My card is the same as Jeannie's , I only added a few flourishs to the roof. I did try thinking of something different but I liked hers too much!

On the inside I wrote Congratulations with the Black Gel pens.

Scrappy-Go-Lucky is where I purchased my Gel pens.

This card is made using My Community and Sweet Heart cartridges.

Go to Jeannie's Blog for her great instructions.

Thanks Jeannie

Have a great day.........Tracey

Hello,

This is a scrapbook page I designed for Scrappy-go-lucky  featuring the Cri-Kit Gel pens. I used them on the title, scallop circle, the flourish on the photo and  to border the text frame and the writing.

Six different cartridges were used , which I've listed in the labels below. This shows you why you can never have too many cartridges, its so good to have a choice. Just wish my budget was bigger to have them all!

NOTES

This note book I covered yesterday. I have made a few in the past as gifts for other people,  I decided to do one for myself to keep a record of things I make. Specially on the cricut, sizes of cuts, cartridges etc.

The Stamp cut frame is from Sweet Hearts cartridge.

I love how my twisted rose turned out!

The butterfly is cut from an old calendar I had, using the Indie Art cartridge. Lots of glitter and a few pearls finish it off.

And here's the back, very pretty I think! And the before picture.

Have a great day

Tracey
