Finally...

A prescription that I have been waiting for 3 & 1/2 weeks now has finally been approved. I need to take a certain pain reliever because I am allergic to most others so I have to get it approved every year by my insurance. Such a pain in the butt! So for 3 & 1/2 weeks I have been without my pain med and it was almost unbearable. I have a different type for breakthroughs and so I have been very cautiously taking those. Finally the wait is over.

Tags

Hey everyone! I thought I would post these tags that I quickly put together. I had, a few years ago, punched out a lot of these tags and now I wanted to find something to do with them. I thought that they would make cute gift tags to put on to either a gift bag or boxed present. Here is my recipe for each one:

Girl Tag

• Paper: Bazzill, Doodlebug


• Cricut cart: Lite Sugar and Spice


• Buttons: My stash


• Stamp: My Pink Stamper-Happiest Moments


• Stamp pad: Versafine-black


• Chaulk: Cats Eye-Rouge


• Ribbon: Ofray

Boy Tag

• Paper: Bazzill


• Cricut cart: Lite B is for Boy


• Buttons: My stash


• Stamp: My Pink Stamper-Happiest Moments


• Stamp pad: Versafine-black


• Ribbon: Ofray

Ocean Tag

• Paper: Bazzill, pp is unknown


• Cricut cart: Life is a Beach


• Brad: K & Company


• Buttons: Dress Me Up


• Ribbon: Ofray, All My Memories


• Ribbon tag: Making Memories

Each was very easy to make. I cut out the various Cricut cuts then I assembled the tags. The baby stroller was cut at 2-1/2", the zebra was cut at 3", and the ship was cut at 2".
Enjoy them and thanks for looking. I LOVE comments! Lol.

St. Paddie's Day Card

Well, here I am again...Im trying so hard to be on here more. I figure if I make cards and things that I will have to post them on here therefore making me post here more often!

So here is my submission to Fantabulous Cricut. The challenge was to make something with a shamrock or the color green. I chose to use both. Here is the recipe of items I used:

Cardstock: Bazzill

Cricut cartridges: Rock Princess, Paper Doll Dressup, Imagine-Hopstotch

Stickles: Emerald, Starlight, Xmas Red, Golden Rod

Punch: MS Loop

Bling: I-rock

Ribbon: Ofray

Stamp: My Pink Stamper-Happiest Moments

Pen:

Adhesive: ATG-3M, Zig 2-way Glue Pen

I used one of the girls from Rock Princess and cut her at 4". I then cut the shamrock from Bazzill Bling at 4.25". I printed one of the papers from Hopstotch for the background of the card.

This was a fun card to put together. It took a lot of work, but I truly had a blast. I hope you enjoy it.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Here is the card I did for my husband for today. This is the recipe:
Paper: Bazzill
Cricut cart.: Create a Critter
Glitter: Stickles
Stamps: My Pink Stamper - Happiest Moments & More Punnilicious
Stamp Pad: Versapad-Black
Adhesive: ATG & Zip glue pen

The skunk was cut at 3-3/4. The grass was cut at 1-1/2. This card was so fun to make too and my dh loved it!

Returning with Hope!

I wanted so hard to keep up with my blog but of course Life has to go and get in the way. Usually though when I say Life I mean my back. The last few month have been pretty bad and when the pain goes up so does my depression. And I hate that! I can not tell you, unless you have been through it, how fun it is trying to convince yourself that you can get out of bed. It seemed to take all my strength to get up and get dressed everyday. I am so glad that both my boys are grown and gone so they didn't have to see me that way. It has gotten a little better since then though the getting up part is hard some days.

2012!

I just wanted to tell everyone...Happy New Year!

I can't believe that it is 2012. Wow, 2011 went really fast! Today is also my DH's 49th birthday. We aren't doing anything special today. On Friday we are going to Flagstaff and I am taking him to dinner there. For today we are just sitting around watching football on TV. I'm very upset that they postponed the Rose Parade till tomorrow for football. You can tell I'm not a fan.:) Oh well. Have a great New Year!

Merry Christmas

I wanted to wish everyone...

A Very Merry Christmas!

I hope that all of you are having a wonderful day with family and friends. It is just my DH and I today. He is making a vary tasteful ham with all the regular sides. I can't wait for it to be done. I have already talked to my family and son in California and I miss them all so much. We were suppost to be there this year but money got too tight. We do have plans to be there in February though. I can't wait. I talked to my other son as well. It is so different not having them here today. They grow up way too fast. Well, have a great day and take care!

Christmas card

I thought that today I would put on my Christmas card that I made for this year. I had so much fun making it. I will say it took me forever to come up with an idea for it. I spent hours looking at other Christmas cards on various sites for ideas. I knew for sure that I wanted to use the light post but was very unsure what to put with it. I finally decided on the carolers out sharing they warm cheer under a beautiful holiday decorated street light. This is a side note but I live in a very small town(less then 5000) and one of the things I enjoy the most is when they decorate the old fashion style street lights on the main road, which is why I wanted to use them.

I first used Cricut cartridge Jolly Holiday for the light which is cut at 4". The carolers are from Winter Frolic. They're cut at 3". I so wish I would of had a Gypsy to do this card as I hated the fact that I had to just about everything out twice on the carolers because of the way this cartridge is. I also wanted to change some of the colors around which added to the cuts. Now I am a lot more familiar with CCR so next time I will use that.

Next, I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the background with D'vine Swirls to simulate snow. I caulked the snow on the light post with a Cat's Eye pad in Lagoon. I also added a little more to the book by caulking it with Dark Brown and then I added some music notes that I just drew on. I used my ATG to adhere everything and then I used pop dots to make the carolers standout. On the inside of the card I stamped it with a My Pink Stamper stamp. Here are my ingredients:

-Paper: Bazzill
-Cricut cartridges: Winter Frolic, Jolly Holiday
-Emboss: Cuttlebug's D'vine Swirls
-Ribbon: American Crafts
-Caulk: Cat's Eye, Lagoon & Dark Brown
-Stamp: My Pink Stamper-"Biggie Christmas"
-Stamp pad: Close to My Heart, Black
-Adhesive: 3M, Eksuccess pop dots

I am really proud of this card and I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Of course after it took me so long to come up with the idea for this card that maybe I should get started on thinking what next year's Christmas card will look like now. Lol :) Have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
