Happy New Year and My New Toy!

Happy 2010!

I had to make some door hangers to celebrate! I actually made 5 (one for each of my sisters, one for my mom, and one for my house and one for my office). Each one was a little different. The red one I kept for my house and the blue one I took to work!

These were really fun and it was different to just work with black and white paper!

I have quite a stash of "shiny" paper so it was fun to actually use some of it.

I used the cricut Gypsy Font for the words and the stars all came from the cricut Hannah Montana cartridge.














I am also so excited. I finally got an Epic thanks to scrapbook.com. I had ordered something from their 12 days of Christmas sale and got a "golden ticket." It was worth $100 and it was so cool! Thank You Scrapbook.com!

Shaker Fun!!!

I got these cool Holiday Big Words Printable Stamps from Reginascutterdesigns.blogspot.com. Then at Scrapbook.com one of the card challenges was to make a shaker. I had never made a shaker so I checked out the tutorial at Split Coast Stampers. They were so much fun that I made several! I used sizzix frames for the frame and in a couple cases I used chipboard under them. Here they are:

The background is Holiday Big Words from Reginascutterdesigns.blogspot.com, lips and swak are quickutz dies and "swak" is quickutz blossom mini. Striped pattern paper is from either the 2007 or 2008 DCWV spring stack (I tore the paper out and put it with all my valentine paper!) Flower is a prima and the brad is from creative cafe.

Bee Mine also uses quickutz blossom mini for the words. The flowers were cut with one of the sizzix stacked flower dies using felt (this time was my first time to cut out felt too! I've tried lots of things this weekend!). The bees are buttons that I've had in my stash for quite awhile. This is the same DCWV patterned paper!

The tickets on this shaker were made with a quickutz die and then stamped with autumn leaves stamps! The black and white polka dot is bo bunny paper and so is the flowered paper (I got it either last year or the year before around v-day!). The flowered paper was cut with the sizzix jelly frame. The flower is another felt one cut with a sizzix die.The I, heart, and U were cut with sizzix dies (metallic paper on chipboard) and then attached with a safety pin.

The same paper combination and felt flowers cut with sizzix were used with the "Love" frame. Love was cut with a sizzlet.

The last one is a New Years Shaker (I think I'll put it on my office door!). The background is a Holiday Printable Stamp from Reginascutterdesigns.blogspot.com and so is the little saying in the corner. I used a gold leafing pen around the little saying. Polka Dot paper is Bo Bunny and the black patterned paper is DCWV Glitter Stack. I added a shiny prima flower!

Thanks for taking a look!

Some Fun Cards!

I was so excited to get some "printable" stamps from reginascutterdesigns.blogspot.com! The background words are from the Holiday Big Words Set and the round circle one is from one of the New Years Sets. They are totally cool. You just print them and out and can do all kinds of things with them!

February is when our state government offices have a big push for the food drive and myself and another gal make cards to sell all year but they really go during feburary for valentines so I've got a couple here to show. The cupid and love you are quickutz revolution cookie cutters!


The New Years Card also has photo corners from quickutz and the 2009 is cricut Don Juan - really liking that cartridge!












The next 2 cards are made with stuff in my stash and scraps ~ on scrapbook.com one of the things in the January card challenge is to do cards with mostly black. I've been really liking how black looks with other colors so this has been fun! The marriage saying and love and kisses came from a K and Company set of rub ons I bought several years ago when I did a wedding book for my parents (for the 50th anniversary!). I was cleaning some things up and found them and thought I would use them! I also found these flower stickers! It's good to go through things once in a while!
