First Halloween card

Hi,

I am not into Halloween but there are those that are and so I will make a few cards just for them.

This is a file from Birds bendy cards  http://www.birdscards.com/house-cards/

The bats are from the site http://www.idiecut.com/

There are two pictures because the wonky one on the bottom shows the cloud vellum that I used and also shows the whole Halloween word.

Have a Blessed day.

Love pop up card

Hi
O.K. I have had a gentle nudge from 2 dear blogging friends (you know who you are !! Juliet and Curt )
to get making cards again so here is one I just made.  The file comes from http://underacherrytree.blogspot.com/
The polka dot paper is part of the library in the Silhouette Cameo (my brand new cutting machine).
The love insert is attached to the inside of some paper I have had for awhile and so don't know the name of it.  I added one of the gerber daisies I have in my stash. 
When I figure out how to print and cut the fonts there will be a shape with the words "makes the world go round" attached under the word love.
Have a Blessed day.

New Home Welcome

Hi
My friend, Myoriah, moved into a new place a few months ago and I have just gotten around to sending her this card.  She has been so helpful sharing her knowledge, files and most of all her support.  Myoriah, you are such a lovely person and I am so happy you are my friend.  Her site is very interesting http://craftingfrugalway.blogspot.com/

I am impressed......are you?

Hi
I think I am in love.  In love with my new Silhouette Cameo that is. 
I have not had much time to play with it but the three projects I have done impressed me greatly.  The first picture is a file from http://www.birdscards.com/pennants-10/ cut with the Cricut Expressions.  The few squares that are out of the pendant had to be cut with an exacto knife. 
The second picture is cut from the same file with the Silhouette Cameo.  Also used was the gorgeous linen cardstock from a lovely blogging friend, Chrissy at http://chrissys4cards.blogspot.com/.  The Cameo cut beautifully and left only a couple little pieces but they will just flick off.  I only left them so you could see the differences.
Many thanks go to my beautiful friend, Myoriah, for all her support.  Her site is here http://craftingfrugalway.blogspot.com/
I am so impressed and can hardly wait to try some more intricate cuts. 
Have a Blessed day.

Lacey's 21st Birthday

Hi

My darling grand daughter turns 21 this month.  How did she get so old so fast?

Computer generated bicycle cardstock and I added the shapes with personal messages.  Popped it up on brown cardstock; lined the envelope with the same paper and added the young lady on the bike on the inside and added a personal poem.  No, she isn't a bicycle enthusiast but she meets life head on like a bike going full tilt downhill and always with a smile on her face.

Have a Blessed day.

Belly dancer

Hi
My friend who turned 80 last month has been an avid belly dancer for a few years.  She took it up when she became of retirement age. 
The dancer is popped up on pop dots and matted onto Whisper White cardstock and then placed on Dollar Store holographic cardstock.  This pic was taken under very cloudy skies and so the colors do show up but they change a lot as the card moves.  There are even some mauves in  it.
The sentiment goes above the dancer. 
I would have liked to have a wobbler behind the dancer but the wire I had didn't lend itself to a decent wobbler.  :(
Have a Blessed day.

I feel like a princess-----My bathroom reno

Hi
Just a short note to show you what 3 amazing people did in 10 hours.  My daughter and her fiance and my youngest grandson came to visit for the long week end.  They brought with them paint, and all painting tools and accessories.  Also towels, towel bars, shower curtain, light fixtures.  The walls had been stripped for a very long time and I just did not have the energy to do anything with them.  They cleaned the walls in preparation for painting.  It took 3 coats.  Even the vanity was a dark brown and they painted it.  The toilet had been wobbling for a year and they made it nice and sturdy again.
The light fixtures don't show up as clearly as I would have liked but they are 3 lights on each bar.
The picture above the toilet is a picture that a friend had taken and made into a gorgeous picture for me years ago.  Also that is the color white the whole bathroom is done in.
  We had a lovely day out looking at one of our favorite spots in the mountains.  Unfortunately it was part of the June flood and what we knew as a lovely pond is now strewn with trees and stuff and where there was a pond there are several rivers.
It was an amazing and busy time from Thursday late afternoon to noon on Sunday.
Have a Blessed day.
