Superman gift My Pink Stampers day 10

Last night I made a Super man treat box as a gift for my daughters baby brother. This year everyone was giving him Comic book characters. I searched google & youtube and I could not find any instructions on how to put him together. Joy has a video on a Superman cupcake box, but other than that this cartridge is going to be trail and error. I made a bunch of mistakes, but I like the way it came out. I plan to make another now that I figured it out. Todays post is for

My First Scrapbook !

My First attempt at scrap booking
I ran across a you tube video and tried to make something similar to Following the Paper Trail’s paper bag mini. Actually she has a lot of videos using paper bags. I watched so many and in corporate a combination of a few. They all kind of blurred in my head I couldn’t tell which one was from which.
I had the right timing to try a scrapbook album just when the
MY PINK STAMPER is doing a blog hop Challenge.
I don’t have any of her stamp sets, but I adore her creativity,Informative blog and she seems like a super nice person.
I’ve never scrap booked so making an album out of paper bags had me all giddy to try something new. New to me at least. I used Accent Essentials cartridge & Tags bags and more for the tags. I also used Kate’s ABC’s for my accents. A few odds and ends from the dollar store and regular paper bags from the grocery store. I had so much fun trying this out I plan to do a few more.

My First Banner & Vinyl project

My niece is having her first baby & I've made a Banner for the shower.My sisters worked hard on all the decorations & I was super happy I could help.I forgot what size I cut the squares out in, but I do have a cutfile in DS and I can easily turn it into a gypsy file if anyone would like it. It's really rather simple & it folds nicely into a quart size ziploc bag.

Nieces & Nephews Gifts

Hello everyone,

I can't believe it's been a month since the last time I posted. I've been out of town weddings, vacation in Georgia, OOh Yeah I got married. Now I'm headed to Corpus Christi for my Niece's baby shower. It’s been a long time since I've visited in Corpus I thought I'd bring a little gift to my new niece & some gifts for the others too. I'll start with the Hello Kitty T-shirt project. I used my Imagine to print & cut my Hello Kitty on Transferable paper. This was a little tricky!! I thought how complicated could it be? Well Hello Kitty is done in layers (not and I cart). Getting them to stay in place while you ironed was tricky. When I finished the transfer seemed unpolished. So I used some 3D fabric paint (Hobby Lobby) & outlined the different colors & re-outlined the black. I’m happy with the way it all turned out. With any new project practice makes perfect, so I'll be trying this again soon.
I did find the Imagine cartridges were much easier to transfer over...No layers. I could print the image whole.Which made the transfer easier.
Hind site is twenty-twenty. I read so many blogs and message board post over time I thought I had it all covered.I didn't some transfers tell you to wash your clothes before hand. Others tell you not to..The dark transfer is ironed on right side up and the light colored transfer is ironed on image faceing shirt.I did learn a lot, so I look forward to trying again.
Thanks for stopping by if you have any question let me know.

Imagine card useing JT cartridge

Good Evening Everyone,


I made this card for my daughters 20th birthday tomorrow. She has been saying her teen years are gone so I thought it would be funny to give her a scull card. The inside says
" Death of Your Teenage Years is Something to Celebrate" Does it sound like Edward from Twilight said something similar? I was watching Twilight when I wrote it. LOL
I'd like to enter this card in Bitten by the Bug2 Challenge- Crown.
I made this card useing the JT cartridge and all the paper was printed from the JT cartridge as well. I love my Imagine! I use my Imagine when I want to make a quick card. Most days I use my expression and DS. Yes I'm frustrated with my Gypsy! I need to watch more videos, I'm just not as good with it as I can be with my DS. Anywho...thanks for stoping by my blog.

Wrap It Up & Opposites Attract Wedding card

Wow It's been a while since my last post. I'm still learning my gypsy but I tend to go to my DS more than my gypsy.I feel it takes me so much longer to get it right with the gypsy that I go striaght to my DS. Wonder if anybody else is having that problem? I've got a lot going on in the next few months. Weddings,Birthdays,trips,Vacation etc. Plus we've been trying to mate my male pug with a pug a few blocks down. Watching 4 dogs is a handful... & also the reason why I've been an absentee bloger lately.I have created a few things which I'll be posting soon.The card I made is pretty simple made with scraps.Cuttlebug Just my type folder borders,Liquid Embossing. I would like to enter my card in the following challenges: Die Cuttin Divas - #10 Time To Mix it up. Use two different cuts- Wrap It Up & Opposites Attract

Water For Elephant cards

Hello Everyone,

I hope ya'l had a relaxing weekend.We had some awesome weather this weekend & did a little gardening. I've been learning to use my gypsey and practiceing what I learn. Thankfully there are a lot of good videos out there to give you a hand.
Me & my sisters are Wild about Robert Pattenson and are planning on watching Water for Elephants when it comes out. What better way than send out invites & make it a Rob night.

I used Summer vacation cartridge for the Circus Tent,Animanl Kingdom for the Elephant,Country Life for the tub of water. I messed ups so much trying to cut out the tent that I gave up and painted the tent with acrylique paint & used Scribbles 3D paint for the yellow on the tent. Well I went to sleep still thinking about what I did wrong..& it was that I grouped the tents & copied them. So every time I changed the setting on the tent & shadow...whatever one I changed last was what both stayed. You have to ungroup!! Then I kept thinking I need water! The Elephant needs a water trough !! I learned in the process and I really like the way it turned out.
I made this card for the following challenges:

Minnie Card

Hello Everyone,

I hope your weekend was an enjoyable one. I played with my new Gyspy & watched a few videos.
It's a lot like Design Studio..& NOT.I created this card & it reminded me of my girls teenage years.
Card Recipe:
Card dimensions are 6.5 x 5, Minnie cut at 4 inches, Radio cut at 1.5, stove cut at 1.4th.
I cut the stove and turned it on its side to resemble an end table. Musical notes paper made by Design Originals. The Wooden floor cut from wallpaper swatches, all other paper cut from my scrap pile. I also used Liquid embossing by Plaid on Minnie’s eyes and nose. Glitter Glue and Martha Stewart glitter for a little bling on Minnie’s clothes.

Exploring Forever Young

Hello Everyone,
Today I went to Fort Polk La to see my daughter. I took the day off and drove the 3 hrs for lunch and another 3 back. It was fun, but made me wish for more time with her. Say a prayer for her…she starts a new job on post, Friday. If you know Fort Polk and the surrounding areas you know jobs are in short supply. Small country living with one road as the main shopping area, & post shopping is atrocious. We were a military family and stationed in Fort Polk for a year. Thankfully his brigade moved to Fort Hood & I loved it there. Unfortunately for my daughter her husband’s next duty station isn’t coming up any time soon. As much as she despises Fort Polk I am happy she is close by.
This week I’m exploring my new Forever Young cartridge. My New Year resolution was to use my carts more. Exploring each cartridge is so much fun, why did I wait so long?
I’d like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Paisely Owl

Happy Saturday Everyone,

I hope everyone is enjoying thier weekend.I'm exploring my Paisely cartridge & so far I really like this cart a lot! I actually made this card at the Cricut Swarm. I hardly ever use the shadow feature on my cards...only because it seems the shadows come out really big for the size I want it to go under. For instance..This Owl was cut at 4 and a half yet the shadow I had to cut it at 4 and a 4th becasue it looked huge for the actual owl size.

Anywho...I'd like to enter my card for the first time with both challenges
