Some Freebies for You

Just a few things in a very quick little post. 

Made for my little sister who has spent a great deal of time in the hospital lately. I made these vinyls for mirrors - to help remind her what is important - and that I love her to pieces.

One of my little guys loves ninjas. We found this image in Google images and converted it to the vinyl. We also added a sword - just because he wanted one. I'ts not perfect and we haven't figured out quite where to put this one yet, but we both liked the cool background for this photo!

Made this one for my other little guy - who is into a different kind of mischief I guess. We put this one on his laptop. Image again, is from Google images.

Finally, my brother sent me photos of the vinyls I made for his kids. They are up on the wall! What do you think?

Keeping Busy

I've been super busy the last couple of weeks. We had a sweet baby girl with us for respite and we didn't want to give her back! :) 


Sorry I don't have any freebies for you today - but here are a few projects that may give you a few ideas of your own...

I made this card for my DH for our anniversary on March 18th. I used a file from the very talented Wanda to cut the card and a simple set of rings from one of my Cricut cartridges. Wanda has some amazing files - go take a look! 

I loved this one! I made another wall hanging for my nephew's birthday. He is over 21" tall! 


I got this wonderful creation from Mardenz blog. Oh! How I wish I could create files like she does! This one was so cute that we almost didn't give it away... kidding... 

Just a simple card from my Stampin Up club. The fanciest thing on here is putting "dazzling diamonds" glitter on the stamped image with the 2-way glue pen. Super quick, super easy and very pretty. 

Another card from my Stampin Up club. Very quick and easy birthday card - again putting the glitter on the cupcakes with the 2-way glue. 

This final project was one we put together with little bags and tags. Could be used as a little photo album gift, or to send notes, or even "coupons" for favors. I'm always so impressed at how easy and fun these things are to make. 

I hadn't used my Wild Cards cartridge in awhile, so made this card for fun. I made sure I inked up the card, used lots of stickles and some Flower Soft. I gave the pots a glazed look with some "crystal effects". 


See the matching envelope below...

I thought this door was such a cute way to send this card (recipient still unknown). I did add the wreath with some more Flower Soft and a pearl handle, after I'd aged the door a little with some ink and a sponge. Even DH like the way this one turned out. 


Until next time! :) 

By Request...

A few people have mentioned that they'd like my files in a format other than .mtc - and I'm happy to accomodate!

You can now find this file as an SVG here

or as an SCAL here.

Been a LOOONNNNNGGGG time!

It's has been a few weeks since I was able to post last. I've been busy with some great projects though! Here is just a sampling of what I've been up to.

I made this scrapbook page at my Stampin Up Club. The theme, of course, was Valentine's Day. I really liked this layout. Made it easy to put several shots on one page - and it was super easy to put together!

This one I made using an svg from the great Paulo. I am always so amazed at what he is able to create! The picture doesn't show it very well, but I was able to use some Glamour Glitter on ScorTape to fill in the stars and letters. The edges were inked too (though they look more smudged here!) This poster hung on the wall at church for our "Secret Sister" event in February.

This card was a request from DH for his brother's birthday. Pretty simple, but effective. I used the  PDDU and George cartridges to put this one together.

This is my first attempt at a vinyl image for the wall. My sweet little niece said she wanted something Ariel for her birthday. I made it as big as I could - and the piecing was harder than I thought it would be - but it worked! I used the "Dreams Come True" cartridge for this one.

My daughter and I spent some time at a Digital Storytelling Workshop too. Two days of planning, writing, scanning, editing, recording... It was a great - and very emotional - experience! I was super excited to learn how to do this as I could see so many uses for sharing stories like this. Family History comes to mind first... Here she is getting help from one of the teachers.

I was able to put some wall vinyl together for a friend too. She had requested these...

I'm still playing around with my new Photoshop Elements program, but hope to be creating more soon! :)
