Nice quote, huh?  Anything is possible.  I think I should remind myself that eveyday.

I have to admit I have been missing making cards lately.

Infact I took the whole week-end playing with my

Cricut machine.

It was fun just to see what I could do.

My plan this week is to show you a few of the cards each day.

Here is one...

So this card was made with the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy Collection

 and March's Stamp of the Month, Potential.

I can see potential of this stamp set being used many ways! 

Well just a short and simple post for this evening.

Who's watching Dancing with the Stars tonight?

CSAYL - 1,2,3, challenge

Happy Friday! 

 Today we at CSAYL have a 1,2,3 challenge...

1 image, 2 paper and 3 embellishments.

Lately I have been into circle cards, so thought this would be a good time to use

my image from Limited Runs.  They are this week's sponsor.

The winner of this week's CSAYL challenge will win 3 digital images from Limited Runs.

So what are you waiting for, join our challenge!

Have a happy Friday!

Today stamping class

Today we had a great time stamping.  I have the best 6 ladies that come every month.

We have so much fun and enjoy some lunch too.

I tried to keep all the cards to thank you, except for the peeps card from yesterday.

All the cards were cut from CTMH Z1686 Cricut® Art Philosophy Collection.  I just love that cartridge and all the stamp sets that go with it.  I find myself using my Cricut more because this cartridge has a little of everything!

So to end the class and to send the girls out the door with a little

thank goodie of chocolate.

I hope that you have a fun group of ladies that get together and craft.  If you have a monthly group, please share what things you and your friends like to do.

I would love to have a art quilt group and maybe a painting/mixed media group.

Well Happy Wednesday!  Have a great day.

Judy

CSAYL...get your Christmas started!

Yes, Let's get your Christmas started, I really wanted to say let's get your party started,

 but this is that start of my weekly posts of  Christmas challenges hosted by

Christmas Stamping All Year Long (CSAYL).

So every week their is a new host and new prizes.

This week the host is The Cutting Cafe

They have given us two templates to show how easy they are to make wonderful

cards and gift items, like this one.

This is a great box to fill.  I can't wait. 

 The perfect size to add a cookie and a mini card or maybe a set of thank you cards and a candy.

I'm sure you can think of lots of ways to use this. 

Maybe for Easter you could add a few  add a few peeps! 

Here is the inside...

I would love to see what you and the New design team at CSAYL has done with this box.

Make sure you hop on over to CSAYL and show some love.  And if you

want to win some FREE digital images from The Cutting Cafe all you have to do is...

make a gift box or non shaped card and link it on CSAYL blog.

I'm addicted to flip & stitch

Here is a table runner that I made for the coffee table.  I don't usually play with batiks very much but thought the colors would works perfect for our living room that is brown and orange.  Yeah that orange is so me.

Anyways like I said I'm addicted to the quilting technique of flip and stitch or some call it quilt as you go.  It is so easy and you can quilt as you go.  So super simple go look at this blog for her explanation and awesome quilt.

And how does this always happen...taking a photo of something and that little brown dogs always ends up in the view finder??

Well have a happy Tuesday! - Judy

It's a Red and Black day

Yes, today I was having trouble motivating myself. 

Red is such a energizing color, so I thought I would start with that!

I really wanted to share what I worked on this week-end like I usually do on Tuesdays, but honestly I didn't complete a thing this week-end.  The only thing I did was decide that I need to get away from the Etsy shop on the week-ends.  Well, my intentions were good, all work and no play not good for me.  So to my surprise on Monday was 3 more special orders.

So I have to say my shop is busy, I'm teaching CTMH cards classes every month and I am returning to doing design team work.  So again you will see weekly stamping projects.

Anyways here is more energizing red projects finished today...

Nook/Kindle eReader cover

and a girlie iPad cover.

Overall a good Tuesday.

See you soon! - Judy
