The Apple One More Time...

Okay I LOVE this apple from the Preserves cartridge. I went to a parent-teacher meeting at school tonight and wanted to make them a quick thank you note from my class. Since I had a few extra apples laying around I put one on a piece of cardstock from the DCWV Elementary Stack and layered it on SU chocolate chip. I used the new stamp set from SU called First Day. This set is so cute and I hope to do some other projects with it soon. So sorry the apple is a duplicate from my volunteer gift bags but since it was on hand, it made this card a snap. Thanks for looking!! :) Have a great night! I am off to watch LOST!

Cricut Apple Gift Bag Video Part 2

Hi everyone! Well the garage sale that I had is FINALLY over and I actually got to do some sewing today so I am happy. I am hoping to update my Project 365 and maybe make a couple of cards yet today. Here is the second part to my video. I did put a youtube button on the right side of my blog. Or you could also subscribe to me on youtube so that you will be notified of videos that way. I am still working on perfecting my video making! Ha! Who knows if that will ever happen. I appreciate all of the feedback I am getting from everyone. You all are wonderful. Have a super crafty week! (Only 21 days of school left and then I can really craft!! Yay!)

Cricut Apple Gift Bag Video

Hi everyone! I finally got the videos done for the apple gift bag. I tell you, I really struggle with the 10 minute time limit on youtube. I had to make the video into two parts! LOL! Part 1 is posted on youtube or you can click on it at the bottom of this post. I hope to have the second video on tomorrow sometime. I hope that you all have a nice weekend and get many crafts done. We are having a garage sale so I will probably not be in my craft room much at all. :( Well at least we only have about 4 weeks of school left which feels like an eternity for me and my students!
Have a nice weekend!

Whew! Finally Some Crafting!!

Hi everyone! I am a member of the Retired Teachers' Tea Committee at school so I have been doing obligation crafting (LOL, but you know what I mean) for school. Here is the card that I made for the retirees (only 25 more years til I can retire...sigh). Sorry about the hole punched in the corner but I have to save it in a binder. I used JOTS for the tea cup! I have had a lot of fun making stuff for the tea. But now that I am finally done making everything that I needed to make, I decided to do a scrapbook page of my cutey pie Cooper! He has more facial expressions of any dog! My husband and I just crack up at him.

Thanks so much for looking! Also now that I am all caught up on most crafting I am going to do a video of the volunteer bags sometime this week. Thanks for stopping in!

Hi Everyone and Happy National Scrapbook Day!
