Isaiah 1 Digi-Cut File Card

Good afternoon all,

I wanted to share a card I made last night for the Stamping Sisters in Christ Challenge blog.

This was for Challenge #44.

We had to create a card with no stamped images. So, I created the Digital Sentiment File. 

I created it in the circle as well as the square. 

As I thought about this card, the contrast in the black and white elements spoke to me about the contrast in our lives from before Christ and after. I even used "metallic" dew drops to symbolize how steadfast and immovable our sins and habits can seem until the light breaks through. 

The flowers and flourishes are EK punches. I used my cutter to cut out the flourish bar I created. I did spritz the whole front of the card with Pearl Glimmer Mist. The photo doesn't really show this, but it really is pretty when the light hits it. Hope you enjoy!

Ballerina Bears Layout

Good day everyone,

I wanted to share a layout I made awhile back that just hasn't seen the light of day yet. I used everyday paper dolls to cut out the costumes for these little cuties.

Closeup of the left page. I made the title. All the little roses are also handmade.

View of right page. I machine stitched the mats for added detail.

I glittered their tiaras and the top layers of their tutu's.

I chalked their legs to give the appearance that they are wearing tights.

Discover The Joy Cricut Layout

Good morning everyone,

I am sharing a layout I did for a couple of challenges this week. It was my first real project including the use of the Gypsy! I am still VERY NEW to it, but so far, I am loving it :-).

I made the birds from Gyspy Wanderings and from Animal Kingdom.

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a closeup of one of the birds and the Digi Sentiment I created. The download link for the digi sentiment will be below.

Here is a closeup of the other little birdie. I flipped the wings for this one. That was because I wanted to show that you can cut the wings out and flip in either direction and it will still look so cute!

Here is a closeup of the AI Factory Image I used. AI is this week's sponsor over at PIO. Please be sure to pay them a visit HERE. They have some WONDERFUL digi files and some FREEBIES to get you started.

So now for the challenges this layout followed:

PIO-Stickers The lettering "The Joy and little flourish are MM glitter stickers

Guessing Game Giveaway Winner

Good evening all,

So sorry for the delay in posting this. I didn't stop to consider that it was Father's Day on the 20th. Whew, what a weekend. I hope everyone was able to enjoy time with family and or remembering that special man in your life.


On to the winner, but first.....The BIG question.....Which cartridge did the Giraffe come from?


Drum roll pllleeeeaaassseeeee........And the cartridge is........Not from my craft room, not from my bedroom...(even though I have thoughts of layouts when I am sleeping....lol), but......


FROM MY KITCHEN :-) That's right Cricettes, it was all from the wonderful cartridge, FROM MY KITCHEN! Anyone who knows me, knows about the only good thing to come out of my kitchen is a paper Giraffe...HA HA HA :-) I am SO NOT a cook.


So of the many comments, 13 of you lovely crickettes guessed correctly, so I had to run over to random.org to pick a winner. So of the 13 correct guesses.....lucky number 4 hit the Giraffe jackpot!!!
