Long time, no post!!



Hello everyone!  Sorry that I haven't posted in awhile, but things have been busy and crazy since the beginning of December!  I'm sure that everyone can say that!  However, our son got married on December 12th and my Mother had open-heart surgery on Dec. 15th so my daughter and I have been taking care of her. That means that I have not been back to our home in Texas since Dec. 7th!  Mom is getting stronger everyday so our daughter is going to stay another couple of weeks until she can be more independent. I have worked on a few projects since I have been here at Mom's and thought I would share one of them.

I made place cards for my 6 yr. old niece's birthday tea party using my Gypsy and Don Juan. Her colors were pink and brown and I love how they turned out!  The little tea cup (coffee cup) is from Gypsy Wanderings (I think). If I'm not correct, I'll post a correction!  :-)  I also made the girls' names bigger to go on the favor bags the each girl is getting. I love, love, love welding with my Gypsy!!

Until next time, keep creating,

Java Jen

I made a box to put a set of Valentine's cards in. I used a 12x12 piece of double-sided cardstock from K and Co. The cards are made with Kraft paper and are a 4x4 size. I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the front of the ca

Think Spring Blog Hop

                                Welcome to the THINK SPRING BLOG HOP!!  You should have arrived here from the amazingly talented  Crafty Baskets  !  If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to go back to the beginning at  Creations With Kathryn  . She is our wonderful host for this hop!  On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX.  What is more telling of Spring than flowers?!   I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack. (I think this stack was from last year or maybe even the year before! :-) I'm just finally using it! )  The paper flowers throughout are from the 3 Birds Pretty Petals collection.  Read to the end of this post to find the link for the next blog to hop to and for my blog candy! This is a pic of an open page. Now for my blog candy!!  Just leave me a comment on this post with a way to contact you -
