I love making these things. They are super easy and just look so nifty.

Certainly some cool cards...

These are some random cards and such that I have lying around either waiting to be given away or, sadly, will sit around forever!

This is the 'printed ribbon' that I read about on the cricut mb. I just attached the ribbon on plain cardstock and ran it through. It worked out great.

This is the first card I made with the Cricut. My oh my, I have a long way to go.

I was amazed when I read about shaker cards! I wanted to try one so bad, so I did. And this little fella' is what came to be.

This card is so simple, but I simply adore it!

This is using that fun foam, a BiA, and a note pad I found while thrifting.

This is my first swiss dots card!

This is my first slider card! -Did I mention I LOVE learning about new card techniques- This is for my bf's dad for fathers day! -huge racing fan, he is.

This is my first play with embossing power and it's stupid and clear -I really should read bottles- but you can kinda see it.. sometimes.

This is a card for my niece for her b-day -cell phone pic- I didn't take a picture of the inside but I put a flower pot from some cartridge -I don't remember- and only taped the sides down so I could slide her money inside of it.

A BiA book for a friend that just completed college. She's having a belated celebration at the end of this month and I need to make her more goodies..

Stenciling Queen

I just want to state that I wish I had my Cricut when I did this shirt. I'm not sure how it would have come out.. but these cuts with an exacto knife about killed me!!

This is Mr. Zombie... and well, he's a zombie, sad, and hungry!

This is Mr. Zombie getting his mask of freezer paper taken off.

And this is the final product. I think he turned out nice... he's lucky he didn't end up in the trash!!

**'itchy tasty' is a reference from a video game -Resident Evil-**

This shirt was made by printing out the images onto freezer paper, cutting the images out, ironing the freezer paper -shiny side down- onto the shirt, and good ol' fabric paint on top of that.

And lots of patience!

Some completed crafty crafts

Here are a few things that I have pictures of, that I have actually completed!!

This is my first try at appliques on my new brother embroidery machine... well, it kinda sucks.. but it was my first try! So I give myself a break.


This is a silly bag I made (just rectangle of fabric with ribbon handles) with my initials.

This is a little kitty beanie. She's so cute and clueless!

This is my dino scarf!

I love my machine... it does all the work for me!
