Cricut Cardz Challenge!!!!

Happy Wednesday Everyone! I hope you're all having a great day!

Today is a fun Challenge over at http://www.cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/..... We are to make a card for a new baby using any cartridges you’d like, and the colors green, orange, yellow and white ONLY. Which was fairly easy for me to do.... especially since I LOVE making baby cards! I always make 2 for a baby girl, 2 for a baby boy, and 2 neutral for those who like to be surprised! :o) The set always seem to please just about everyone who is looking for handmade baby cards! :o)

Soooo here is my Design Team Card for ya! :o)

George & Basic Shapes  (Circle) Cut @ 2.625x2.719 in Design Studio

Soooo here is the side view... to show the added layers and inking...

Just a side note on the Pearl Pin.... I got it from the plant/flower section on

Oriental Tradings Web site..... I like the idea of adding Pins to my projects,

but I don't like the needle part sticking out and

these work perfectly because they have a clear cover... :o)

So now I got a nice bag of them to add to my cards.... :o)

Now that you have seen my card

head on over to http://www.cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/

and make something for the challenge and I'll stop by to check it out!

Thanks for taking a peek,

let me know what ya think!

Have a great day! :o)

Hoooooot scarrryyy......

Hello And Happy Tuesday Everyone! I hope you are all doing well today!

 I'm sooo excited....Yesterday I got my new Canon Printer!!!!

It is the Canon Pixma Pro 9000 Mark II series.....

It prints large 12 x 12 pages and well even larger than that!

It weighs a ton and is HUGE!!! It has 8 ink tanks (which I love)

and I've already been doing all sort of test pages and it

prints beautifully!!!! :o) I had a Canon i9900 but after 4 yrs. of use

it would not print right and I took it in to a Canon service center and they

could not fix it.... :( I was sooooo sad when the tech told me that....

I loved that printer.... YES! I Said LOVE!! :o) It printed like a dream until the last few months and it just couldn't be fixed soooo I found a NEW LOVE!!!! :o) I know you all think I'm crazy for talking about my printer like that... but if you only knew how much I use that thing.... then you would understand where I'm coming from... :o) Anyway.... I did say I would have a Halloween card for ya today..... So here it is! :o)

I had a hard time with the owl's ears, so I used the orange stickles

to save me the headache of trying to put the tiny pieces on.... :o)

Falling in Circles.....

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Tuesday with the launch of the Brand New Imagine by Provo Craft! I have a sad confession to make! I purchased this new toy at midnight when it launched...... Then I had buyers remorse..... :o(  My hubby said for me to go ahead and get it..... He said it would be my Christmas gift.... So that's what I did... Then I went to the message board and started to read more info on this machine... and as amazing as it might be... I just realized it wasn't worth it to me to get it right now..... I mean I just bought a brand new 12 x12 Canon printer! It will be here any day! :o) So why would I want another printer? One that cost even more than the one I ordered? Why would I want a Tri-Color cartridge which is NOT cost effective than a printer that offers separate color cartridges.... How often would I really use it? I love my Expression and use it almost everyday! Honestly! :o) Soooo I went back to HSN and Canceled my order.... :o(  I told the hubby what I did and he said it was ok.... Just get it, but after thinking about all the Whys? I said NOOOO I don't NEED it right now! But a second Expression would be great for all the cuts that I do.... LOL Soooo Maybe during the after Thanksgiving sale I will get a second expression to help me with all the cuts for my cards..... We shall see!!! But... I did order the Brand new Mat's! Only because I would LOVE to see if they are better than the old ones.... And..... :o)  I did order all 3 Martha Stewart Cartridges that were on HSN! I Had a 15% coupon to go with it..... So that made me feel much better! LOL  I will say that I'm very happy for those who did get it and didn't cancel it like I did! I will continue to watch all the info on this new machine and maybe just maybe get it later on! :o) Ok... Now that I got that off of my chest, here is today's card! :o)

(Click on Photo to Enlarge)

First off.... I want to say I had a heck of a time trying

to take pictures of this card! Why???

I don't know... Maybe cause I took the pictures

late at night? I used extra lighting... I don't know...

Sometimes I get sooo mad when I don't think the

picture comes out just right.... I'm still working on it! :o)
