New Cards and a New Year!

So my resolutions for last year pretty much fell by the way-side when it came to keeping the blog updated in any kind of fashion. My biggest problem is that the computer near my craft room doesn't have iPhoto on it so I can't just edit cards/photos as quick as I would like to... So there will be no resolutions this year!! We'll just consider it lucky when new projects get posted. I am "resolving" to use my Cricut more to make cards with and use up as much retired SU! paper as I can this year!

I did get some pictures taken of a few of the last batch of cards that I got made. So here they are! :-)

Wow!!

Wow - I knew it had been a long time since I had posted but wow - I didn't realize it had been THAT long! Like summertime a long time ago!! The sad thing is that I have made probably sixty cards since June since I've been sending about 20 a month out to my mom as "payment" for my laptop. In fact, I just sent 20 out west today and didn't get a single picture taken.

Well, I'm hoping now that the holiday season is practically upon us to post some upcoming projects soon. I have some super cute ideas for Christmas gifts that I am going to try out. I just need to pick up a few canning jars and then I will get going. :-)

New cards!

I have finally made some time to upload some pictures of new cards that I've made recently. I REALLY need to clean and organize the craft room again. I have a huge pile of paper, stamp sets, ribbon, stamp pads and more that I have decided to part with. I'm pretty sure that I've sold enough stuff to people on craigslist that I can probably advertise a "crafting garage sale" and get a good turn out, but I just need to make a time for that to happen!! :-) Thanks for looking at the cards!

Finally some new cards!!

Okay, I just can't seem to make time to get cards or projects posted! Bad me!! I guess they will just get up here when they get here!! I have been working on some cards lately and last night Carly helped me finish up a couple. She's going to be quite the crafter when she grows up - I can tell! Thanks for looking and here's to hoping I can post a little more regularly from now on!

Crafty Carly ~ before and after!

Carly likes to spend time in the craft room with me when I am in there creating. Guess I need to get her a trash can of her own!! :-)

Crafting with Carly (and Sophie)!

Sophie hung out in the craft room with Carly and me this past weekend while we worked on a couple of cards. Carly loves helping me make cards with the Cricut Expression! She picked out all the papers for the You Take the Cake card. My only "complaint" is that the background paper she chose is too busy and I would have used a paper with less pattern. Otherwise it's great!
