Monogramed baby bug

Songbird, my new favorite Cartridge

My new favorite Provo Craft Cricut Cartridge is Songbird. I monogramed my Pink Expression and Original Cricut. Had so much fun working with vinyl today. Try it out.

Vintage Wall Hanging

Andrea and I got together again for a day of crafting. I made a vintage wall hanging with a B & W photo. Craigslist had a box of misc old pictures listed and couldn't pass up buying it. The photo came from the Craigslist box. I used a page from a children's dictionary I found at Goodwill, the buttons came from my grandma's stash.

The cigar box is a work in progress. The box has some major tweaking left to do.

Easter album received from a swap

More pictures from the Easter Album I received in a swap.

Easter album received from a swap

I'm involved in an album swap on the Provo Craft message board. It is the small shape word book swap that Kathy Orta is coordinating. My partner for the 3rd and final month of the swap is Nikki Rich. I just received her album a couple of days ago and was completely amazed by her work and detail to the album. This album is just incredible.

Mod Podge box

This is a $1 item that was 50% off at Michaels that I altered to hold my distressing kit.

Brownies and B & W family photo's

Never intended on collecting Brownies. However, over time have managed to collect them. I love my families old b & w photo's and like them displayed with the Brownies. One day I will take them to a camera shop to see if I have one that works. I would love to take a photography class. I am in the picture with the kids, that picture was taken in Ste Geneieve Missouri. The other picture is with my mom and her girlfriends.

Welded word book

This is my first attempt at a welded word book. The physical therapist I've been going to for my back and foot issues just had a baby, Brooke. So I thought I would try it out and if it turned out good I would give it to him. I'm pretty pleased with it for my first time trying this technique.

The prize from Goodwill

I was looking at all my bookmarked bogs one day. Ran across one with a cast iron dress form that looked so cute. Last week while I was on a hunt for goodies at Goodwill I found the dress form. Identical to the one on the blog. I was so excited and thought I found the prize! A few of my tags are hanging from the skirt. Couldn't resist putting a dictionary flower on it to dress it up.

I just love posting pictures to my blog! I have two very happy Airedales, Otto and Emma. They have 2 very different personalities that are so funny. Emma is has more reddish hair. They love playing in the snow!

Card Purse

I was experimenting with a clear plastic packaging I had in my craft room. End result a cute purse with stamped and embellished cards. Lots of fun.

CD Vintage Book

One sheet wonder

Love this little book! So simple to make. Take 1 sheet of 12 x 12 paper, score at 2, 6 & 10 inches. Then turn paper and score at 3, 6 & 9 inches. Learned how to make these from a Stampin Up Demonstrator. Use card stock to decorate pages.

Cricut Backpacks

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share with you what I made the first time I crafted with Andrea. I think these backpacks are so stinkin cute I just love the little one. They both have outside pockets to hold the tiny note cards I made. More to come later....
