Scrapbookaholic By Abby Challenge #12 - Anything Goes/Use Twine and Jelly Pens

I am very sad and sorry to say that this is the last Scrapbookaholic By Abby Challenge. I have had so much fun on this Design Team and worked with so many talented people. I follow all of them and will continue to look at the wonderful things that everyone designs.

This weeks Challenge is: Create Anything you want (LO, Card, Project), you need to use Twine and your Sakura Jelly Roll Pens. I have to say I had a lot of fun with this Challenge. I have been trying to finish our 2010 book and start the 2011 book before the baby comes in 2012. I haven't been real motivated but I worked my butt off and Love my Layout I made for today!!!

Thanks A Latte Card

I just got to play with my new CE2 and I am so impressed. I still have a lot to learn but I really like it!! I thought I should make a card for my Grandma using it, since she bought it for me. I just got finished with this card and I think it's cute. It didn't come out exactly how I wanted it to but it's not bad.

Cricut Expression 2: Anniversary Edition

I am so excited to say there is a new Cricut in the house!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!! I just got today in the mail my CE2. I am so excited!! I have been wanting one since I saw it on HSN and didn't think it was a possibility. My grandma then surprised me and just got me one. I am soo happy!!! Now I just need to figure out how to use it. Here are some pictures that I took while I was opening it...

It comes with everything you see below. I am excited that it comes with covers for the ports so they don't get all dusty. It comes with a mat, Power cord, Computer Cord, Stylus, Blade and Housing, and 4 pre-loaded Cartridges. YAY!!!!!

Thank You Sooo Much Grandma!!!! I can't wait to start playing. Hoping I can get my gypsy working with it. I have some things saved I want to cut out. If you have any feedback on your please let me know. I am a little nervous! 

Thanks for stopping by!! I will make some things and post them soon!!

My Creative Time Throwback Thursday

Alright!!! I am so excited that I actually got my card finished. I have had it all layed out on my gypsy but haven't cut it out since I have been gone all weekend. 

The Challenge over at My Creative Time is to use a Retired Cartridge for your project. I liked this challenge. I surprisingly have a lot of the retired cartridges and it got me using some I don't use often enough. 

I decided to use Joys Of The Seasons for my card today. I thought it would be a good time to start on my holiday cards so that I am not behind this year. 

Recipe:

Card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 (paper is from Paper Trey Ink)

Layer is 4 x 5 1/4 (paper is from Christmas Combo Stack from DCWV)

Strip is 4 x 2

Ornament and layers cut @ 4.30

Sheer Ribbon is from JoAnn's

Inked around everything with silver ink

Stamp is one from TPS Christmas
