She's A Sassy Lady Monthly Guest Designer Project

Hello all....
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer,
I just got back from a week of camping with family and friends, it was a wonderful week, and the weather could not have been better,

Today is my day over at She's a Sassy Lady, to be a Guest designer,  

but because I just got back from camping, and for the last 2 days I have been puppy-sitting I didn't have a lot of time to create something Fabulous....

but I have been playing around with an idea for card....
one of my girlfriends has a birthday at the end of this month, so I thought I would make her a card, she LOVES to fish....so I had to make her a fishing inspired card, I have been inspired by Sheila's Tri-Fold cards and thought of a triangle shaped one, so using my Gypsy I created a file...
 here is my fisher-women pieces

 and my pond pieces

  I inked all my pieces, here is the pond on the inside of the card

 a little greenery...

 and I added a Action Wobble to the Happy Birthday on the Front of the card

 Action Wobbles are so fun!!!!!

 Inking up the fishes

 and here is the card put together

                               
 and the inside ..( I really think I need to add a sun to the top )

I hope you like my card,
Thank you Sheila for letting me share my card today....

A Pair of Doggie Cards

Hello my Crafty Friends.....

today I have a card I made to play along with Sheila at She's A Sassy Lady, Gypsy Made Simple-Word Shape Cards,  Sheila has theses GREAT video Tutorials every Saturday to help you learn to use your Gypsy's....she has so amazing tips, so you really should head over and get caught up with all her videos.....

So using my Gypsy, I designed this card, actually I was able to make 2 of the same cards at one time....just one of Sheila's GREAT tips, you already have everything out to make one card, why not make 2, there was just enough room on my mat to put 2 bases on 1 mat....

 here is all my layers, also on 1 mat...

 here is the base of the card, one is folded , and one is not...

 here is the dog I used, from my Favourite cartridge, Create A Critter

and here are my 2 cards......I am really happy with how they turned out....

and this is just a little close up, I did cut out his eyes, but decided to use some gogglie eyes, and instead of cutting out the layer on the pillow, I used some stickles, I LOVE stickles.....
the patterned paper is from Bo Bunny, and Jillie Bean Soup, and some scraps of paper, the Happy Birthday is from......oh no I forget, I think it is from a Martha Stewart Cake Cartridge....
thank for stopping by today,
and be sure to stop by Sheila's blog for some GREAT tutorials.....

Cri-Kits project for Kassidy's Birthday Bash

Hello Crafty Friends!!!!!
well I made it through the first day of being 40!!!! whew......LOL
so today I am here with another project for my friend Kassidy over at Inking It Up Crazy....It is her Birthday this month and she is celebrating all month long with her amazing creations, and some of her amazingly talented friends.....and I am sooo happy she asked me to play along and celebrate her Birthday with her.....
She asked us to come up with something using Cri-Kits.....if you don't have these yet, they are definitely a must have to go along with your Cricut...they are so much fun to use....for those of you  who don't know what Cri-Kits are...well they are a magnetic gel pen holder that replaces your blade, so instead of cutting you draw.....it is very cool!!!!
here is my card

 I used the glitter silver gel pen, the pink paper is from Stampin Up, and the Zebra paper is from michaels, I also used my I-Rock 

my card is 5x5 and the zebra is 4.5 x 4.5   

 I used my Corner Chomper....to round the edges....Love this tool

this is the LO on my mat to draw on the Happy Birthday Image from the Paper Lace cartridge ( this cartridge has some GREAT images to use with the Cri-Kits gel pens) 

sorry it is so hard to see,the silver is so glittery....it really looks nice in person...then with out unloading my Mat, and using my Gypsy I placed a circle on a new page on my Gypsy, and switched the Holder for the Blade, and pushed cut again, and there it is.....the gel pen drew instead of cutting all those lines, and then the circle cut....perfect....

the Happy Birthday is a layer on the Paper Lace cartridge.I used the Zebra Paper to cut it out and Layer it on my drawing  

then I used one large jewel and three smaller jewels to bling it up, oh I also added a piece of Pink Zebra ribbon, I picked it up at walmart.
I hope you like my card, it was a lot of fun to make,
and I will be sending it to a very special crafty friend who is celebrating her Birthday this month, I hope she will love it.
Thank you again Kassidy for letting me be part of your month long Birthday Bash!!!!
 you all be sure to pop over and wish Kassidy a Happy Birthday, she is so talented and does Amazing work, she also has a Fantastic line up of Guest Designers and maybe a few(ok...a TON) of Fabulous prizes to be won!!!!!   
thanks for dropping by today.....

Guest Designer Day at She's A Sassy Lady.....Wall Hanging

Hello Crafty friends!!!!
today is my day as a Guest Designer at She's A Sassy Lady.....and my
40th BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! now I am not sure if I am very happy about turning 40...it is going to take some getting use too....
anyways, that is not what you all are here for, you all  wanna see a project............ so lets get to it....
Today I made a sign to hang, I think I am going to hang it in our Travel Trailer....

here is how I made it....

I picked this piece of woood up at the dollar store....

then I painted it blue.......

 I (heart )vinyl...........

I designed it on my Gypsy, then laid the vinyl out on my mat, be sure to change your Cricut setting to Kiss cut the vinyl...I put my speed at 2 my pressure at 2 and my blade depth at 4....

 this is called weeding, I left everything I was going to use on the sheet and removed all the vinyl I was not using....the Cartridge I used for the letters is Lyrical Letters, and I welded my letters together......

 here is the light house using the Life is a Beach Cartridge....

 I added the layers to the Light house before I placed it on my painted wood...
( LOVE my tweezer bees...a must have....)

 now instead of using transfer tape, which could be a little expensive, I use mesh drywall tape, it is kinda sticky in one side and you can get it at the dollar store( or BORROW some from the hubbies garage...hehehehehehe)

 now just using my finger I burnished the light house onto the wood, and slowly lift the tape up, then continue burnishing the light house to the wood....

 ( I love how it is looking!!!!!)

 you need to be a little more careful with the letters, just take it slow....

 and now I added a little bling to the sand, I Love stickles....

 and here is the finished wall hanging....and I am going to use a clear coat of spray sealer to finish it off....
I just LOVE how it turned out......I hope you do to....
well Thank you Sheila for letting me come and play here for the day.....
I so enjoy my days at She's A Sassy Lady.....
If you have any question about using Vinyl, just leave me a comment, I will do my best to help you out, I just love using Vinyl.
be sure to stop by and visit Sheila at She's A Sassy Lady, she has some great videos, and Amazing Guest Designers.....

thank you all for stopping by today....
happy crafting!!!!

It's Kassidy Birthday Bash!!!!

Hello Crafty Friends,
today I have a Vinyl project to share with you. My friend Kassidy from
Inking It Up Crazy is celebrating her 25th Birthday this month, and she has invited me and some other fabulous designers to help her celebrate..
So I want to start off by wishing Kassidy a very Happy Birthday!!!!!! hugs my friend...
ok lets get to my project.....
I have made one of these clocks before, and gave it to my mom, and she loves it....it is hanging in her craft room.
So today I decided to make 2 more, one for me and one to give to my friend Kassidy, I hope you like it...
I purchased the clocks at WalMart.....fairly cheap, maybe $5.oo?

 you need to pop the top off, very carefully......

 then you need to remove the hands, again very carefully....

 here are the pieces I cut out of Cricut Vinyl( I LOVE this stuff!!!)......

 now there are some cartridges out now with the Cricut Bug head on them, I do not own any of them, so when I first got my Gypsy, the Cricut Bug Head was one of the first things I created, (I LOVE That BUG!!!!) I have the Gypsy file available for you to download at the top left side of my blog, I have one with Plantin SB and one with George....enjoy.....

 Cricut...isn't he just so cute!!!!!

 now here I cut out a vinyl circle and stuck it to the inside of the clock, next time i think I will just flip the original clock face and just attach my vinyl numbers and bug to that, it was hard to get all the bubbles out....

 the numbers and letters are cut using Lyrical Letters, one of my FavouritE Fonts...

 then you need to put the clock hands back on, make sure to turn it a few times and line it up just right.....

and here are the 2 clocks side by side....
they are so much fun to make, and I think it will look great hanging in my Craft room.....
Thank you so much for stopping by today, and be sure to stop by Kassidy's and wish her a Happy Birthday, oh and she has a TON of GREAT giveaways this month , I know you don't want to miss out on that....( I will have one more post for Kassidy Birthday Bash on Thursday, be sure to come back and check it out!!!!)

I will be back tomorrow with my Guest Designer post for She's a Sassy Lady, and its my 40th Birthday!!!!!! where has the time gone.....I can't believe I will be 40.....
have a GREAT day everyone!!!!!
