I used the Cricut cart Bags tags boxes and more, page 116 Purse used the gypsy and enlarged it which cut off the handles and that was fine. For the Silhouette I used Child's first year cart, The silhouette in the apple. Using my gypsy I hid the cuts for the apple. I had to manual trim off the bottom to make it fit on the purse. I used my memories keeper chomper to place eyelets and used some ribbon for the handle. I love the way it came out.

Summer Scrap book page

I really wanted some embellishments for this page, but only had one sheet of this paper so I made it work. I "outlined" where the main picture was going to go and cut the paper behind it making sure to leave enough excess to tape. I cut out the flowers and inked the edges and using some pop dots "dressed" my page up. Here again the Creative Memories page planner was used.

Chocolates Anyone

With my B*tch craft sisters we made these little boxes from card stock. They are just the right size to hold the Hershey Nuggets. We used transparency for the top and ran it through the cuttlebug. (super Cute I would have never thought of that) And laser address labels that come 3 across 10 down are just the right size to wrap the chocolates in. I have to be honest to make the boxes is a little time consuming but I am sure you could use the gypsy to make those cuts easier.

The templates can be found at Split Coast stampers.

Used Dryer Sheet ???

My friends and I otherwise known as B*itch Craft get together about once a month to trade ideas and techniques that we have seen on line. Last week we crafted with Used Dyer sheets in card making. I am not sure on what blog or web site this originated on, But none the less it works. It is very helpful if you have the bigger 5 inch Xyron machine and dark colored inks as well as larger stamped images. The process goes something like this. On my card I used a larger butterfly stamp with various dark colored ink. I stamped onto white card stock and then cut to fit. I ran my card front through the Xyron image face down so that the sticky stuff was on the front of my card. I then took the dyer sheet ( that still smelled) and stretch and adhered that to the card front. Either cut to fit or wrap it around to the back and tape. I prefer the wrap method as it cuts down on the little frayey things. The dryer sheet gives the card a nice soft finish and a gauzey look. Viola.

365 Cards Challenge Day 337

The challenge was to be inspired by the Advertising picture posted.

This is what I cam up with. The pink made me think baby girl and the linear design of the bookcase helped me come up with the window design. I used my Gypsy of course. I used some pink vellum to "frost" the window. I love how this card came out.

Paper Play time Challenge

The challenge was Digi Monday. I downloaded this free image and used a combination of perfect pearls and chalks to color it in. I mounted it on some white Pearle card stock and then to the dark blue paper. I brushed the standard white A2 card with some silver ink. The ribbon at the bottom was from my stash. This certainly was a challenge as I have never download any digi images.

365 Cards Challenge Day 336

The challenge was to work with the provided sketch. Nice and simple no cricut cuts here. I used some things from my stash. I forget where I learned to make the "flower" embellishment. It was a 1 inch by 12 inch strip scored every eighth inch and fan folded. I learned the hard way a while back these flowers are impossible without glue dots.

365 Cards Challenge Day 338

The challenge was to make a card that features a sticker, ribbon and a masking technique.
