Here is a painters tray that I altered. I had a lot of fun altering this tray at first I though it would be a bit of a pain cause I don't like to measure. I was very surprised to find that I had a lot fun altering the tray!!! The tray is from 7 gypsies so the paper I used I used some stamps from Tim Holtz and from Prima. I also used some Tim Holtz tickets and some odd ends that I had laying around.

If you ever get the chance to do one of these tray you should try it!! They are a lot of fun!!

Till next time!!

Ya I got a free cricut cartridge!! for per ordering my Gypsy with Michaels it had to be a disney cart so I got Pooh and Friends there is a lot of cute stuff on this cartridge and it was FREE!! I am loving my Gypsy it does have a little bit of a learning curve to it but very easy to use. When I first per order the Gypsy I was worried that I was spending a lot of money on a new toy that I was not going to use a whole lot, I am very glad that it is user friendly, I have used it very day since I got it and I have been using my cricut even more then I was before, I am very glad that I went a head and spent the money on my new toy!

I hope everyone has a good weekend and to all the Canadians I hope you are all having a great Thanks Giving!!!

I am silly it is the blonde in me a swear lol when I was talking about the wishing it was in centimeters because I am used to using cm that was just crazy talk now that I think of it, the way they make a shape bigger or smaller is right, I sadly can't even tell you what I was thinking about because I don't even know what I was talking about so know that I have figured that out I have problems with the Gypsy it is so cool and a lot of fun!!

My Gypsy!!!

2009-09-24T17:10:00.000-07:00

All week I have been waiting for Michaels to call to say the Gypsy is in and today they called I went there right after work and picked it up, I have just played with it for an hour or so but it is a lot of fun it takes a few minutes to get a hang of it but it is very easy to use the only thing I do not like is that when you are making something bigger or smaller it is in inches or milometers I am used to working in centimeters that is it the touch scene is very easy to use!! I will post a video later showing me play with the Gypsy for the first time I hope the people who per oder there Gypsy will get there's and have a lot of fun with it!! I know I am!!

have a goodnight!

2009-09-16T18:31:00.000-07:00

I sooo can't wait for my toy!! I went to Michaels today and per oder the Gypsy!!!! Ya I can't wait to play with it!! they said that maybe it will be in late next week!! So cool!! Came you tell that I can't wait?

I am so spoiled!! I have such a great man!! He is the best he gave me am very early christmas gift! The last couple of weeks I have been thinking about upgrading my cricut for the expression, since the expression came out I always thought I do not need something that cuts that big, but I have out grown the baby bug now I do not think that I will ever use the biggest size which is 23.5 but to make boxes and envelops your can't really do that with the baby bug and right now I am really into making home made gifts and being christmas is soon going to be here now I can get started!! I can't wait!!!

Have a good day everyone!!

2009-08-10T10:01:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone I have been so busy this past week I was on vacation and I was trying to get a lot of scrapbooking done, sadly I did not get as much done as I wanted to, always the way right! any ways I was on the web checking things out when I came across the new Epic 6! So I watched some videos about it I was not going to get it when I first heard about it because I already have the cuttle bug but then I saw a video showing that it can cut the sizzix XL dies, the cuttle bug can to but a little bit of a pain and the sizzix is more money then the Epic 6. So long story short I got an Epic 6!!! I love it!! I bought it online Sunday and got it Thursday!! I have not been able to play with it too much, now the only thing that sucks is that it only comes with one cutting mat and you need 2 to cut the XL dies and right now no one is selling the exact mats but I found a way around that you put the long mat on top of the dies then use your smaller cuttle bug mats for the bottom!! it works great you just have to give it a little bit of a push, the cuttle bug mats are the same thickness as the Epic 6 mats.

2009-08-05T13:13:00.000-07:00

Here is a new card that I made the other day, I love this stamp set from CTMH it is called Nursery Bash I love this stamp set!!

2009-08-03T10:58:00.000-07:00

I got some fun new toys in the mail that other day and I can't wait to try then out!! My new toys are the i . top build a brad! I think that I will be saving money with this new toy I wont have to buy the matching brads any more or have to worry that they sold out!! Now I can make matching brads with my scraps!!!
