Second cut using the SCAL

Wohoo I finally made something with my SCAL program. I made a name tag for my cubical but I have no idea what size I made it. I also added the shadow feature. Not very impressive but it is a start. I used some paper I had laying around and MS punch for the butterfly and used SU scallop punch for the flowers. I cut the shapes for the flowers with an old phone book I had laying around. You have to put a piece of card stock down first and then you can cut three flowers at one time. TFL!

Softball player

My friend Denise asked if I could make her some softball girls for her daughter's end of the year party so this is what I came up with. I used EDPD and cut the girls out at 5". I used CTMH paper and a new paper called coordinations when you rub it with sand paper the color comes thru. Pretty cool huh? I hope all the girls like their little players

PLAYER FOR LOGAN

I made this 10 inch player for Logan for his bday party to match the bags I made earlier. I used the everyday paper dolls again and HL paper and CTMH papers and ink for the sponged edges. I plan on making him a centerpiece and will post it tomorrow.

SURE CUTS ALOT

Okay so I bought the scal last week cause I heard so many cool things about it and have seen what it can do in person.....OMG! talk about feeling dumb. I know nothing and was getting very frustrated and screaming and cussing(sorry Adam) and just going crazy. Well needless to say after watching a few videos I figured out how to use the trace function and finally was able to save something. I think I sprouted up a million gray hairs in the process. This is what I saved and cut out. I think I cut it at 4 inches and used HL paper and CTMH inks for the edges. Maybe some nice ladies like Pam and Mel(hint, hint) will help me figure this program out before they admit me into Rusk State Hospital. Thanks for looking. I have to go spit the soap out of my mouth for all the cussing I did.

Treat bags for Logan

I made these Yankee treat bags for a lady's son at work for his 4th bday party. He is a huge Yankee fan. I cut them out with the everyday paperdolls at 5". I used CTMH paper and inks. I also used a Martha Stewart punch and attached them to a small white bag. Thanks for looking.

Rose bandwagan

Okay so I decided to join the rose making band wagon and made these using the last flower in the forever young cart. I cut three flowers out at 3". Pretty good for my first try and very easy to make.

4th Treat bags for ladies at work

I made this with the scallop from storybook on pg 50 using the accent blackout cut at 3". I sponged the edges with CTMH white and used versamark for the firecrackers. I used stamp sets Celebrate and July 2009. Thanks for looking.

May card class

These are the cards we made during the May card class. Of course Ms. Joy came up with some wonderful cards again.

new cartridge

I bought the Robotz Cartridge and made some cuts with it. I don't know what I am going to do with them yet but probably make some cards with them.

All star bags

My oldest Grandson Micheal Jr. made the All-stars this year as a catcher so in his honor of making the team I made these for all the players. I used everyday paperdolls for the the players. I cut them at 4 inches. I put gatorade, and some candy in each bag. I made 12 of them.

cube die

Since I spent so much money on these sizzix dies I decided I BETTER use them. Of course I had to blow the dust off of them. I made these blocks and used the Old West cricut cart for the letters. I used creative memories star punch for the stars. I also made the firecrackers out of toilet paper rolls. I used a 2" circle to cover the top and bottom. Then I cut a 12 inch strip and snipped little slits into the strip. I rolled it up and poked a hole in the top and glued it in place.

match box die.

I have seen lots of these posted so I decided to try to make one myself. I made it and gave it to a co-worker at work. She loved it.

WOHOO I made the Cricut Chirp Newsletter!

I made this banner using the new Independance solutions cart and A child's year cart. I used CTMH paper. I was so excited when I found out I had made the Chirp newsletter. To me this is a great honor. Have you seen the awesome, creative ladies that post on the Cricut message board. Thanks Provocraft for picking me out of the 1000's of submissions made. WOHHOOOOO!

Sorry I have been bad

with my postings. I am going to be downloading lots of them right now. So I apologize to my followers for not being a better blogger. I really have been very busy but now in three more weeks I will have a 6 week vacation from my part-time weekend job. This means no more working 60 hour weeks for awhile but I sure will miss the extra cash. We try to take the month of August off because of the heat here in Texas and then we start up again in September. I work for a friend on the weekends doing a consession stand and we go to differant craft shows and festivals thoughout East Texas. Lots of fun and good cash but lots of work. We do 60 to 65 shows a year. We were only rained out twice last year. This year(2010) we have been rained out once and believe it or not snowed out once. So back to my postings and thanks for being a follower of my blog.

I made this star using my cricut cut at 8 inches with the stand and salute cart. I then attached the smaller stars using jump rings. I am taking this to work to hang.

These are the cards we made this week at card class with Ms. Joy at the barnhouse. We all had a wonderful time and were able to make some really cool cards. Thanks Joy! All papers, stamps, and inks used were CTMH.

Mother's Day cards

I made some mother's day cards to sell at work cause everyone keeps asking for them. I just used cuttlebug folders and CTMH stamps and papers. Enjoy!
