Wishing you the Berry Best

Hello everyone!

It is my second day of summer!!! I'm officially done with work for the summer :) Yesterday was my first day of watching my niece this summer. Let's just say she didn't take a nap yesterday... I must fix that tomorrow.

Anyway, I've been down in my craft room several times over the last couple days! I've finally had time, and I've been so excited! I've got a bunch of cards to turn into videos this week so I'll get right on that :) But to keep you going until then, here's a video I made about a month ago and I just never posted it on here. I've been bad about that. But like I've said, I'll have much more time this summer to craft, and I already have! So I'll have plenty of time to post! This is a set using all Papertrey Ink products and Elegant Edges. I used the Papertry Ink felt for the first time! I love love love it! I hope you guys give it a try!

Anyway, enjoy :)

Love Bears All Things

Happy Sunday everyone!! This weekend has been so busy for me :( On Friday, I went to my friend Emily's first Close To My Heart party. She just became a demonstrator and this party was to get her feet wet and to help her know what to expect for her next party. I bought some stuff from her, and I'm super excited to get it from her! On Saturday, I had power scrapping with Michele. I only got 1 page done :( But I had to go print my pictures in the morning before scrapping, and I had to get a cricut cartridge to complete the one page I did finish. I started a new page, but it's going to take a long time. It's from the December Cricut magazine. I love it, but I'm not enjoying the tons of cricut cuts I have to make for it, lol. But it will look really nice when it's done. Then last night was my best friend Melanie's bachelorette party. I didn't get home until 2 and then I promised my friend Julie I would go see The Lucky One with her this morning, so I was so exhausted when I got up (no I did not drink at the party, but I was still tired) It was such a cute movie and I was so excited to see Julie! Then after that I had card/scrapbook club at Michele's house! We made some really cute things today! I'll take pictures and post them.

Anyway, I made this card the other day using a new set of Cardztv stamps called "Greater Love," and the Hannah Montana and Elegant Edges Cricut cartridges. I actually made 4 of this card. Normally I only make 1, so this was good for me. Anyway, I made a video for it as well, enjoy!

Back to work tomorrow :( 8 more weeks! I can do it...

Night all!

Sending you a pocketful of Sunshine

Hey everyone,
I'm back again with another video!! I know, 2 so soon! Aren't you lucky?? I am still also in the process of editing and finishing another video for Easter. I want to get that one up soon since Easter is over, but I still wanted to share that video with you.

Anyway, here's my next video for the day. It uses some of my Papertrey Ink goodies from the March 2012 release. It was my favorite set from the release!! It's called Back Pocket Basics. I also used Elegant Edges. So... on to the video!!

I hope you enjoy! I think this is one of my favorite cards of all the cards I've made! I love the colors, and I just love the concept, and so I hope you like it as much as me! Sorry it turned out so long...

Wish I could lighten your load

Hey everyone,

I've been crafting all weekend! That's why I didn't have time to post anything. But I did film a video, which is saving right now so I can upload it to youtube :) And I have another video for you that I posted a couple days using some of Papertrey Ink's February release products. It uses the stamp set Lighten Up and the Lighten Up Sentiments stamp set. It also uses the cricut cartridge Elegant Edges.

Thanks everyone for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed the video!!!

One in a Melon Birthday Card

Hey everyone!

It's been a while...

Hey all!! Wow... it's been a month since I've had the opportunity to post... I've just been sooo busy getting ready for Christmas and doing everything for my students, I was pretty much running around nonstop for about 2 weeks... But now I'm on Christmas break for another week and a half, and I've already got a bunch of videos filmed and ready to post! I just have to wait until January 4th when the new Stampin' Up Occasions Mini ordering starts because I've showed pictures of their new products in my video. I can post the pictures for now though and you can look for the videos in January. I will have some videos that I can post before that within the next couple days though because I've not got lots of time to craft, and I'm super excited to have more time finally!!!

Anyway, I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas/Hanukkah and got lots of craft stuff! I got some Cricut cartridges, a crop-a-dile, a big bite, and a Xyron machine. I also got a tripod so now I can film videos much easier for you guys :)

I also got $150 in gift cards to Michales, and I've already been shopping and spent most of it already, though I've got about $38 left still... And I'm going to buy some more Jetmax storage jars for all the Papertrey Ink buttons Andy ordered for me. I've got about 20 packs of buttons coming!! I also have over 20 packs of paper coming from Stampin' Up as well!! I can't wait! And they'll still be here in time for me to use them for about a week before I have to go back to work :)

So I don't go back until the 9th, and Andy has the week off right now, so I've been hanging with him for a bit. I moved in with him on the 10th! So now I get to be with him all the time :) I love it! It means I also have my own craft space now that I'm out of my parent's house. I have a video ready to post that shows my craft room, but I've got to wait :( Also, my friend Melanie was in from Texas for a couple days, so we crafted yesterday and went shopping! I got a bunch of stuff from Michales and Jo-Ann!

Anyway, my sister's birthday was on Wednesday, so I want to show you the card that I made for her 31st birthday! I'll post the video for you next week, but here's the picture.

I used a new stamp from Stampin' Up as well as some new embossing powder.

I also used a stamp from www.mypinkstamper.com

I also used elegant edges to create the background for the watermelon.

The paper is all from Stampin' Up and the patterned paper is from the DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Girl stack

I'll give you more information on the video

I didn't take a picture of the inside, but you'll see that in my video as well :)

I've got a Valentine's Day card for my niece that I'll post later or tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by, sorry it's been so long.
