A New Giveaway

Once loaded I will have a video below giving you the details on these cards and letting all of my Followers know about a new Giveaway.

Google has changed a lot about the Friends Connect option and many bloggers are no longer able to give email updates to its followers. In an effort to remedy this I have provided a link in the left sidebar that will allow my Followers to receive email updates of my posts.

In an effort to lesson the hassle I am giving away a Card Kit and a Mystery Cricut Cartridge to one random follower that also subscribes to my posts.

Leave me a comment letting me know that you have subscribed & are a follower and I will announce one lucky winner this Sunday March 4th.

For those that have been waiting for the Cameo coupon it is CAM30 to receive a discount on the purchase of a Silhouette Cameo from my Shop.

Talk Time Tuesday: Puppies

Just had to share my cute puppies with everyone!  My baby Keira is 3 1/2 years old and she had 3 little boys six weeks ago.  She is a Bichon Frise and as you can see they are just the cutest smiling dogs ever.

My girls are having so much fun with them.

I will be back with a project to share later on today as well as a giveaway announcement so I hope you check back after 4pm.

FCCB Challenge #100: Color Challenge

Welcome to my final posting for the {Fatabulous Cricut Challenge Blog}

This week's challenge is a Color Challenge: Use the 3 FCCB colors Green, Purple and Turquoise.

I decided to share my Secretary Box created with Chipboard, and beautiful pattern paper from K&Company.  My Cricut shape is a Hummingbird on the lid in the bottom left hand corner.

The hummingbird is from the Art Nouveau Cartridge cut at 2 1/2"

I created this for my friend at Christmas Time but will be offering this as a class in March at my local Scrapbook Store: Heartfelt Creations.

I am sad that this is my last posting with FCCB, but am so grateful for the wonderful friends I have made and will continue to join in their wonderful challenges.

I hope you will be inspired to create a project with the FCCB colors and link it to the challenge.

This is another project that matched the color theme I wanted to share with you.

By the way can you believe I'm almost to 1000 Followers!!!! Crazy Exciting!!!!

Thanks for visiting!

I will be sharing this project ins some challenges:

Happy Birthday Trisha!!

Just yesterday the wonderful blogging and YouTube world introduced me to a new friend named Trisha.

Today is her Birthday and I know she is working on a Tinkerbell Cupcake layout so I wanted to send her this  picture inspiration and let her know I  was thinking of her.

Happy Birthday my friend.....your email today had me in tears...and thanks to you I will continue to post and make videos as often as possible with a SMILE!!!

Hugs~

New Class Space

New Crop Classroom in West Valley for Creative Cutter Friends

Room for 6 ladies to scrap comfortably.

This is our first Cricut Class in West Valley....went to dinner at La Frontera and then "worked" hard to learn the Cricut~(maybe it was more like hardly worked)~Either way laughs were had by all and some Cricut knowledge was shared.

Our next Class will be Cuttlebug Fun and we will work on setting up a regular schedule for Cricut Class for those living on the West Side of the Valley.

If you haven't had a chance to check out the new Creative Cutter Store yet be sure and click on the Shop button from the Navigation Bar and check it out~I am working fast and furious to get set up and will soon be featuring a Monthly Kit and Finished Layouts.

For those interested in the Silhouette Cameo there will be a $30.00 off coupon that you can use towards your purchase.....and shipping is free.

Friday Funsense: Sexy and I know it!

Did you have a favorite commercial this year?

I must admit I didn't love them but a couple made me chuckle....this one has one of my favorite songs that always makes me smile.

Hope you like it.

I have entered my layout in the LOVE OF CHOCOLATE challenge over at Amanda's Crafts & More site stop on over and check out the other chocolicious entries!!

Talk Time Tuesday (a bit delayed)

So Talk Time Tuesday is a bit delayed.....because I'm having what else Technical Problems!!!

I must be destined to be old-school because the gadgets and I don't seem to be able to get along.

So last year at one of my Swarms in Elko, Nevada the lens of my flip cam was broken prompting me to finally get a web cam...then my computer crashed, then was hacked then eventually hijacked.  I purchased a new website, a new computer and of course the new computer and the web cam aren't quite friends yet.

Some of you noticed this when watching my Bow Maker -how to video- my voice sometimes seems a little shall we say possessed!  oh geeeez!!

So posted above you will see one of the many new cards I've been working on with my box of Momenta goodies.

Momenta sent all the D-lite design team members a very generous box of supplies for us to dig into and while I was taking this picture.... I dropped my camera and now the lens on my Nikon is broken!! Yes just call me butterfingers.

It will probably cost more to fix it then the camera is worth so I'm shopping for a new one.

I need the technology fairies to come by and sprinkle some pixie dust or silicone or something in my home so that I can continue to do what I love which is to share some crafty fun with my friends.

Thank you all for sticking with me through some really crazy stuff and for your continued support.

I know once I can get all of this technology working with me and not against me I can get super creative and start posting some things.

Meanwhile, I am so excited that you will all get to see my Design Team's first Challenge post coming up this week.

I've seen the projects and I know you are going to love their work.

So until Thursday.....wish me a tech friendly day!
