I took the CHRISTMAS SET TWO and made ornaments!  For the round ornament, I cut it four times, folded each one in half, and stuck them back to back for dimension. Finishing it off with some Stickles on each side. For the stocking, I cut the bottom layer once and the top layers twice (remember to flip one) so that it would be double sided. Finishing it off with some liquid applique` for the top of the stocking and tinted gel puffy paint for accent.

CCC - THANKSGIVING - NOT A CARD

 I decided to make a layout for my upcoming Thanksgiving pics and I know I will have plenty.  I used the Thanksgiving Set 2 for my scrapbook layout.  The heading made a great title and using the turkey, acorns and leaves gave me the perfect elements for decoration and dimension.  I used neon papers for the feathers on the turkey and a patterned paper for the body.  Also, I used garnet colored embossing powder for the top of the acorns.  The leaves were cut, vines drawn on and then sprayed with alcohol ink for that fall color theme.

 Come on over to the CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE and submit your Thanksgiving projects!  And, guess what? You can win this great set!  Also, One extra special entry will receive the"Creative Choice" button!

It's that time of year where all the ghosts, goblins and ghouls come out to play.  Join in on the HALLOWEEN  - NOT A CARD CHALLENGE at CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE and show what you are crafting for your trick or treaters!

CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE - HALLOWEEN CARDS

The holiday season is approaching fast and CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE is starting off with a Halloween card challenge!

For this card I used JACK PUMPKINS.  This set comes with four different pumpkin cuts!  Using each pumpkin to accent the face of card on a fabric base, with a pumpkin printed ribbon.  I thought they were a perfect match for the "HEY PUMPKIN" stamp.  Also stamping the inside and embossing with a neon orange powder "HAPPY HALLOWEEN".

Come on and join the Halloween fun at CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE and show us what you are doing for your ghosts, goblins and monsters!

Creative Cutting Challenge - #19 - FOR THE GIRLZ

The Creative Cutting Challenge this week is for the GIRLZ!  I used the Girlz One Set for my scrapbook page.  Using all four cuts (mirror, perfume, lipstick and nail polish) I wanted to show all of the elements of this great set.  I used mirror paper on the mirror (of course), embossed the perfume bottle, and used the mirror paper on the lipstick to give the look of a chrome case.

Head on over to the CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE and show what you do for your little girl.  This one just happens to be one of my grand daughters.

CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE #18

It's that time again!  Creative Cutting Challenge is inviting you to take part in this ANYTHING GOES challenge.  Grab your crafty cutting friends and join in!

Prize for this challenge is a $5 gift certificate for SVG file from Creative Pointe's ONLINE STORE.  You can find SVG files for all of your paper crafting projects!

The winner will be randomly chosen from all submissions, and there will be one extra special entry that will receive the "CREATIVE CHOICE" button.

I used the BOWLING SET and had a ball! Separating the elements of the file, the "Let's Roll" and the bowling ball gave the page more dimension and action.  For my picture mats, using SCAL, I welded the names to the mats before cutting, positioning the names at different points.  This was a great set to use for our ladies night at the lanes!"  

Come join the creative ladies at CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE!

My Scrappin'/Craftin' Space

Well, after the move, I think I've finally got my scrappin' space arranged the way I want it (for now)......lol.  It seems like I change something every other day.  It's amazing how much stuff you can fit into one room!  But, this is where I spend the majority of my "home" time.  As you can see, I have tried to make use of every shelf, drawer, bin, and wall space.

This first pic shows my tv, printer, paper stack over in the corner (which is actually two racks stacked), my cabinet full of goodies.  On he top shelf there is paper, the second shelf is stuff I mix up, flocking, stickles, and adhesives.  The next shelf is embossing powders, glitters, and adhesives. The next shelf is my sewing machine, slice machine, acrylic paints, and in the box is markers and pencils.

The bottom shelf has paper packs (imagine that!), large punches, and sprays (adhesive, shellac, hairspray, etc).

This next pic shows brads, brads, and more brads.  The last shelf has punches, alcohol inks and the bin holds my cricut pens and misc. items.  Under the shelves is my "covered" cricut expression, and little 4 drawer bin that holds various stamping items, and on the shelves under the cricut is where I keep my mats, various threads, beading, and punches.

This next pics shows my wall hanging storage compartments.  I got this at Home Depot and it was supposed to be for nails, screws, etc.  Instead, it holds embellishments, puffy paint, glitter, twine, chalks, metal frames, etc.  And, the wood shelf next to it holds all of my ink pads.  Under that is more paper (OMG!  how much paper do I need?....lol).  In the bottom of that area is misc. ribbons, materials, and books.  Next to that the boxes on top hold ribbons, and of course the other wall hanging is ribbons!  The container under my "covered" cricut create is ribbons!  Over in the corner is my notebooks with all of my clear stamps.  There is more than meets the eye!  In he drawers of the multi-colored storage bin there is paper (of course), adhesives, and embellishments.

This next pic shows my tool holder, and under that is misc. items.  (There sure are a lot of misc. items in this room.....lol).  In the plastic cabinet are large stamps and stamp around the page items.  Next is the cutest little storage cabinet that I got from LTD a long time ago.  I have tried to keep stuff in the drawers as they are listed on the cabinet.  There are some differences, I have jewelry making tools and misc items in there also.  Hanging above is my heat gun and glue guns.  In the jars are just misc. embellishments.  Over in the corner are some of my cricut cartridges.  These are the ones that would not fit in the jukeboxes that I am using for cartridge storage.  I don't hardly ever use cartridges any more since I have discovered svg and also my gypsy.  Let's not even discuss what's in that closet....lol.

This next pic shows my spice rack turned into punch holder, my inspiration shelf and board.  Just where I put things that I make that I want to keep and also things that my crafty friends give me.  The small shelf hanging on the wall holds perfect pearls and alcohol inks.

The final pic shows my cricut imagine, and my cutters.  I won't even say how many are actually on that cart....lol.  Th next shelf has my Your Story, embellishments, notebooks with various items (borders, instructions, pictures) and boxes of pictures that I am going to put into a scrapbook one day.

 Well, there you have it, my haven!
