Here is a cute layout I finished today.  One of the reasons I moved to Tennessee was to be close to one of my children.  I took two of her daughters to a wonderful children's museum (A'museum) in Columbia, TN last week and here are some of the photos from our adventure.
Thanks for looking, TATA!

These are a few cards I have been working on this week.  I think each of them would be appropriate for many different occasions, such as birthday, Mother's Day, thinking of you, graduation.  I also used a new technique on the top card.  I colored some seam binding to match the ink used for the flowers on the card!  It works so nicely with Close to My Heart inks.

Wow, am I ever behind with this layout!  But, with the CTMH stamps and paper it was very quick and easy to put together (at last).  I love these pics and finally they are ready for the scrapbook.

CTMH Layout

For this layout I used some precious pics of one of my granddaughters who loves to look in the mirror!  The paper is from the Stella group as are the embellishments.  This was so very easy to put together using items from kit G1032 from Close to My Heart.  I would advise getting this kit for sure!  It has a stamp set, lots of embellishments and enough paper to do 2 complete 2 page layouts with paper to spare.

CTMH Layout

HI, FRIENDS!! As I posted earlier, I am now a Close to My Heart consultant and I am so excited to be with this company. I have really been putting off so many scrapbooking project for several years now, ugggg. But since I have started getting started with CTMH, I have found myself totally engaged in creating layout pages again. This post is from February 2012. I used my Art Philosophy cartridge to creat so many things for this page. The border is from page 70 and the corners are founds on page 58. I love this cartridge! The stamping is from the CTMH stamp set S1203 called "Potential". I used the Cricut Craft room for the letters from the Cricut Alphabet Cartidge, font 2.

Paper Playtime Challenge Tags

For the Paper Playtime Ch

I did a really easy card for this challenge, but it gets a nice message out for someone special. I used a sentiment from CardzTV "Encouraging Thoughts", some twine and a tag.

Let it Snow

Happy New Year to all, sending blessings for a great 2012 to you and yours.
Today we are having our first bit of snow for the year and it is very cold here. Winter is great when it snows, but when it is just cold, ugggg! Not my best time of year.
Getting ready to post some cards for Valentines soon.
Thanks for looking, TATA!

Merry Christmas to all

Today is Christmas Eve and I wanted to post a most blessed Merry Christmas to all. I have had many Christmas Eve's in my life and it seems that as I age, I have so many different emotions at Christmas. All are very good, wonderful memories and fellowship. Beautiful music, worship at church and Christian fellowship fill my memories.
I pray that any of you that drop by my blog today are blessed with a very special holiday filled with memories.
God Bless You All!

Another Birthday with a granddie!

December 20, 2009 Mattie was born and she is one little adorable gal. She loves life and everyday is a new adventure for her. Here she is on her 3rd birthday with lots of energy! She loved her pink ballerina outfit and book, and she REALLY loved her pink car!
Happy Birthday Mattie, love Grammie.

Cardz Tv Challenge 2 "Crafty Christmas"

I made a banner for my mantle using the Elegant Edges cartridge for the bases and the Storybook Cartridge for the letters.  I had some pretty pointsettias in my "stash" and so I put them on the banner.  It was very easy to make and looks pretty as it hangs!  Thanks for looking, TATA

Cricut Cardz Challenge # 97

I kinda, sorta, well I did "scrap-lift" this from Mary, but I love the baby Jesus with all my heart.  One of my most favorite listening at this time of year is Handel's Messiah.  "For Unto Us a Child is Born" tells of the wonderful coming of Jesus' birth.  Thanks for looking, TATA

Christmas Tree

I finally used my Sophie cartridge and made this card using the tree.  I used some pretty foil paper (does not show very well) for the base shape and some green for the top layer.  I did the design in the Cricut Craft Room, what a great program!  I stamped with a sentiment from Cardz TV stamps.  This was a very simple card to make but it is very pretty in person.

Thanks for looking, TATA!

Say it with "S" Challenge

I made a gate-fold card for this project.  The "S"tocking is from Jolly Holiday cartridge and is cut at 3 inches.  I used the Cricut Craft Room to make the cuts.  I also used Elegant Edges for the background mat.  I love making gate-fold cards, they are quite easy.  I stamped a sentiment inside the card using a CardzTV stamp that says "Merry Christmas".

Thanksgiving

Tomorrow we will celebrate Thanksgiving in the USA.  Let us be mindful of those who came before us to join at the dinner table and give thanks for blessings of family, food and friendship.  Wonder what it would be like if those pilgrams and Indians had not decided that our world is full of good things and that we should all get along and share our bountiful blessings?
I am so blessed with 4 great children, 2 son-in-laws and 2 daughter-in-laws and 7 wonderful grandchildren.
My blessing to all is to treasure your family, give thanks for your blessings and share something with someone.
