Happy Monday Everyone!

Here in New York we are having some strange weather.  It had just started getting chilly and fall like and today we are back to warm humid weather.  You never know what to put on when you leave the house in the morning anymore!  Well enough of my complaining, let's get to the real reason I've posted today.

I would like to share a scrapbook page I made.  I created this page for a scrapbook I'm keeping of my adorable nephew.  He is the cutest, sweetest, little boy, just like his Dad, my brother, was at his age.  I think it is so incredible that this little guy is playing soccer.  At his age (just under three) I'm sure there was no way I'd have been doing anything like that.  He's an amazing kid.  Here's my layout.

 

 

That smile just melts my heart.  I used my Cricut Explore Air to put this layout together.  I created a shadow for the word soccer and welded three individual soccer balls together to create just the right image for my page. I really enjoyed making this layout and I hope you like it too.  Let me know what you think in the comments section below.

 

Hugs,

Paula

 



Good Morning Everyone!

I'm here to share a quick card today.  I made this card using my Cricut Explore Air.   I had originally used the background shape for a scrapbook layout and loved the look of it so I thought I'd try it as a 6x6" card.  I think it came out great and I'm probably going to be making a few more of these to keep on hand.  The sentiment can easily be changed and you'd have a terrific thank you card, birthday card, or even sympathy card. 

 

 

That's it for today.  I'd love to hear what you think of my card so leave me a comment below.

Good Morning Everyone!

Long time no post!  I know, I know I always say I'm going to post more often then things come up and, well, you know how it goes.  Anyway, I'm here today with two cards I made this weekend for two wonderful friends.  One is a thank you and one is a thinking of you card.  For both I used my Cricut Explore Air and had lots of fun putting them together. 

 

 

Well that's it for now.  I'm not going to make any promises, but I'll try to post again soon!

Good Morning and a Thank You Card!

Hello Everyone,


Hope you all had a lovely weekend.  Here in New York the weather was just gorgeous today and it finally feels like Spring is here to stay -- it was touch and go for a while there LOL!


Today I'd like to share a thank you card I made for a dear friend who always thinks of others and goes out of her way to take care of those she loves.  She recently traveled on a much needed vacation and was thoughtful enough to bring me back a souvenir from her trip. 


Here is the card I made to thank her for thinking of me and for being such a dear friend.

I had so much fun creating this card and used a lot of different elements. I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I hope my friend is too.


Thanks for visiting and if you like what you see, leave a comment below.

Two more cards

Good Morning Everyone!


TGIF!! The weather here in New York is beautiful and I'm looking forward to the weekend.


I'm here today with two more cards.  The first one features some embossing and an Anna Griffin die cut.  The second one was a Make It Now Project that I put together using the Cricut Explore (and naturally I added a few of my own touches!).  I bought the Explore Air around Christmas time - a gift from Santa to me! - and I'm just loving it.  I was on the fence about it for a long time because I have a Gypsy and a Cricut Expression.  As I'm not too computer savvy, I thought I'd never be able to figure how to set it up.  But to my surprise and delight it was so easy even I could do it!  The instructions are great and there are lots and lots of videos on the Cricut site as well as on YouTube if you get stuck.  Anyway it was easy and I'm loving all the things it can do.  Here are my cards

Enjoy the weekend!

Hugs,

Paula

I'm Back!!! Sorry it has been soooooo long!

Hello everyone,


I can't believe it has been over a year since I last posted.  I have been crafting and creating, a little here and there.  Some unfortunate family issues have kept me from spending more time following my passion.  I have a few cards to share today.  I hope you enjoy what you see and I'd love to hear any comments you have.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll try to get back here a little more often.  Have a great weekend!!

Cold Weather Crafting!

Hello Everyone,

It is super cold here in New York today.  I hope you are all warm and cozy wherever you are!  I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's Day and had a relaxing day off for President's Day.  Since the weather here has been cold and snowy, I spent the long weekend in my craft room!  YAY!!  It was so great to spend a nice block of time in there.  I did a lot of organizing and reorganizing.  I made two scrapbook layouts and a card.  Not too bad. 

I'd like to share the card today.  I didn't put a sentiment on the outside.  I've kept it simple so that when I need a card in a hurry, all I have to do is put a sentiment on the inside and I'm good to go!

Here is my card

 

I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out.  I used an Anna Griffin die to cut the shape and then traced the die and fussy cut it to make the shadow.  I had fun making this card.  If you'd like any of the details, leave me a comment below.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll come by again to see what I'm up to.

 

Hugs,

Paula
