Hello everyone! I hope you're having a fantastic week! Mine is full of packing and cleaning out! Can you guess what I'm doing........? That's right! A cross country move from Texas to Ohio! We are relocating back around our family including our 3 precious grand boys! This is exciting, but as some of you may know, moving really stinks!! I'll be so glad when we're finally settled again!  With that said, and because of the fact that ALL of my craft supplies and machines are completely packed, I decided to post some pics of some past gifts I have made for friends and family. I had so much fun making these and they really are quite easy! I am also posting this over at  SHE'S A SASSY LADY  and  CRICUT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART  so be sure to visit those sites - always great things happening!                                         This is a FIRST CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT made...

Hello everyone!! It's my turn again to be a guest designer at  She's a Sassy Lady  !! I decided to use an actual cookie sheet to showcase these great pictures of our niece and my mother-in-law baking cookies! This project was a little challenging since I haven't been home to my craft room since June 30th! We are traveling with my husband where he works so I made this project in our hotel room using the limited amount of craft supplies that I brought with me! These Club Ruby kits are perfect to take with me because they contain so many wonderful elements!  I was able to use my Mom's Cricut when we made a quick trip to Ohio! Yay!! I had my cuts all designed on my Gypsy so that made it really easy!!  I also used Paper Layerz for some of the cuts! This paper is awesome!!  To check out this paper click  HERE! Here it is all done and folded up! Now I'll go into more detail as to how each element was created. I started with a 10.5"x15.5" cookie sheet. I just l...

This mini album has to be a record for me for the most cricut cuts in one project - 28!! That doesn't even include the layer cuts and duplicates!! I found so many images that just had to be included in this mini!! Even with all these die cuts, it's not too much because it allows the real stars, (the recipes) to shine!! This album is also featured over at Cricut Mini Albums ! I used a 5x7 album that I put together with the bind-it-all. I used some 7 Gypsies cardstock stickers to embellish this album as well as the cricut cuts. I have a stamp set that I used for the words on the tabs. I am hoping to make this album into a kit that I will have for sale on my blog, so be watching for that announcement!!  Here are the cricut cartridges that I used:  From My Kitchen Gypsy Wanderings Birthday Cakes Thanksgiving seasonal Simply Charmed Winter Woodland Winter Frolic When It's Cold Outside I think I am going to attach a pocket to some pages in the back so that when I...
