Here is a coffee cozy I made to keep my morning beverage warm, I love that it keeps my hand from getting to hot and it is keeping me from having to use sleeves at the coffee shop.
Julia wanted me to share this little birdy she made this week.
Here is my prize from Hope Stamps Eternal drawing last week! Rachel has super fast shipping, I sent her my address on late Monday and had it in my hand Friday! I can't wait to create with it.
I had to include the cute card she made! My girls love the letters and want to use felt letters on a project soon!
I have been crafting since I was little girl. I love my stamps, ribbons, sewing machine and most any other craft you come up with I have dabbled in at some point.

Spring Card
Irritated with my card reader on my desktop, it won't read the new memory card so hopefully this will read on my laptop. Wohoo it worked!!
What you can't see in this card is the amount of sparkle there is!!
I used my new glitter atyou spicas to color Maisy and to highlight the flowers
I used afs paper,
words cricut - gypsy cartridge
ketto - maisy stamp
this flower is about 4 inches across made with sheer organza. I can't wait to go get some green tommarrow to make a leaf!

Birthday Card
This is a birthday card for my bestest friend, I know she will see this before I give it to her, but tough. It is green to match the Elf Sweat Soap that I gave her today.
I used paper from my stash
the cricut
ketto agnes
cuttlebug flower and birthday die
rhinestones
ribbon from pinkhedgehog
stickles
and one raindrop
I entered this card in the cupcake challenge at Hope Stamps Eternal. Funny how you see one thing and think one thing and when it comes together it isn't what you thought. lol

Embossing with the Slice
It turned out cuter than I expected it to. I was at M's and found a roll of red craft metal, and thought it might be neat to try ( it was on clearance as well)
this is the up side and the nthe same sheet in reverse, this is a heavy foil, I tried it on kitchen tinfoil and it tore it up, granted there are 3 sizes of embossing nibs, and I was using the medium sized one. Need to ask my husband if he has a heavier grade foil at work he can bring me to try out :)

Yudu / my birthday present early
So this giant box has been sitting in my dining room since my dear husband got it for me at the day after Thankgiving sale. Mind you it was my BIRTHDAY present ( since he had given me my Christmas present earlier in late October) so I was supposed to wait until March to open it! Dear husband told me tonight he NEVER said I had to wait and he was wondering why I hadn't opened it yet!! lol
Julia with the box
TA DA!!! here it is!

Disneyland Autograph Books
The girls and I set out last year before our Disneyland trip to come up with a book that we could use to get signatures that was easily expandable, but not too heavy to carry. We ended up getting simple journals from M's
I told the girls I would cut out anything they wanted with the cricut but they had to assemble and decorate how they wanted it to be. One of the challenges is you don't know the direction of the picture you might end up with so it is hard to pre-do too much of the pages, we ended up using sticky notes to make flags and once we had a characters picture and signature, we removed the tab from the outside of the book and stuck it inside with the signature, so we could come back and decorate.
Here is Lilia's Mickey Mouse page we finished up tonight.
