More Ebay!!

Here is another listing I have on ebay!

Ebay!

Well, I am attempting to sell Cricut Die Cuts on Ebay. I have one listing so far but I am working on more to get on there. I am working on Christmas themed ones but as soon as I get the cartridges that I ordered I will work on some Halloween ones. Here is a picture of my first ever listing on Ebay!

Birdie Bits Book

This is a book I made for my daughter when I was in Tahlequah, OK last weekend at the Scrappin' Pad. I left the mats empty so she could add her own pictures.

The paper is Dream Street, Birdie Bits and the Cricut Cartridge I used is Cuttin' Up (which is such a fun one especially for kids) and I used my Zutter Bind-It-All to bind it together.

Let me know what you think.

Cowgirl UP!

When I first moved to Wichita and started getting involved in Scrapbooking, I had looked Creative Memories up on Line and had been in contact with one of their reps. Last week, I got an email from her inviting me to a Crop on Friday Night. So, Bonni and I went to Electra to the Crop and met a new group of Ladies. Let me tell you, they ROCKED! We had such a great time. This is the layout that I worked on. The CowGirl Up was created using the Cricut Machine with the Storybook Cartridge...WHICH I SO GOTTA HAVE!

The pictures are Reagan and Madi at New Years lovin on Rudy..."Gandmaw's Horse" This layout really gave me fits...It took me the whole crop to complete. Sometimes, I am too picky. But when if finally came together, I loved the end Product. Anyway, have a great weekend.

Birthday Cards

This is my first set of cards to complete! It includes 4 birthday cards.

My First Alterable

Ok, so I got this star shapped box at Hobby Lobby a few months ago and have been building up my courage to tackle it. Well, I did it! And here is the results. The pictures are not the best, but I hope you can see what I have done....



Supplies Used:
1 Star Shapped Box-Hobby Lobby
Paint: by Scrapbook Colors (Evergreen)
Material: Micro-suede (saddle color)
"R": K&Company "Twinkle Type"
Rope: Natural Jute 4 ply #72

My first task was to attach the suede to the lid. I did that with Modge Podge Glue. Once I did that I trimmed the extra material and then used Tacky Glue to adhere the Jute Rope around the lid of the box. This step took a little time and patients but was not as hard as I had expected it to be. The Tacky Glue held the Jute in place very well. I Then painted the star and box the matching "Everygreen" color and let them dry. Once the star dried, I punched a hole in the center of it and the lid and attached the star with a brad. I flattened the head of this brad so it looked like a nail. I then placed the "R" on top.

I almost forgot...before I put the Jute on the lid, I went outside and with a lighter I burned the rope so to give it that old rustic look. I really liked how it turned out. Once I finished the lid, i painted the outside of the box and the inside of the lid the same matching green and let dry.

So there, FINISHED! I am pleased with the finished project. I just hope the individual receiving the gift will like it. I have another box like this one that I have started, but it will be pink instead. And the "R" will be replaced with an "M" for our little "Princess COWGIRL"
