She handles everything with such grace that I just wanted to do something for her. I know it's a small thing, but she likes to get cards in the mail from her customers/friends, so I decided to make that my next project. And I decided to make her work for it. lol Just kidding! I asked her to challenge me with 3 colors from the new Stampin' Up! catalog, so she sent me two combinations. One of them was Pacific Point, Gray Granite, and Soft Sea Foam, so this is what I came up with, with the help of Pinterest, of course.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I did cheat a little. I haven't had time to stockpile embellishments in the new colors so I used some baker's twine in Early Espresso. I think it works very well with the Gray Granite that comes out a little more brownish than gray. (not a complaint-just an observation-it's very pretty)<br />
<br />
My next card will use the other combination she suggested, but we may have to wait a few days for that. This is a very busy teacher week for me for some reason, and I have a race this weekend so....I don't know. I may get back up to my loft tonight and work on it since I'm anxious to see if the other color combination is going to be as pretty as this one was.<br />
<br />
The layers are:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>standard 5.5" x 4.25" card base in Whisper White</li>
<li>Pacific Point card stock 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"</li>
<li>Whisper White 5 1/8" x 4" (for stamped images)</li>
<li>scrap of Whisper White and Pacific point for sentiment.</li>
</ul>
<br />

I've known her for almost 30 years, and our children went to school together from Kindergarten through high school graduation. I really wanted to make her a card, and I've really wanted to get back to my craft blog, so I decided that I would go ahead and post this one. I was inspired from a pin on Pinterest but changed it up a little to make it my own.<br />
<br />

<br />
I used Stampin' Up! supplies:<br />
Very Vanilla and Rich Razzleberry cardstock<br />
Flourish thinlits and the Layering Ovals framlits<br />
Pretty Label punch<br />
I can't remember the name of the embossing folder anymore, but I believe it's retired now anyway.<br />
The fine tip glue pen made it easy to adhere the flourish die cut.<br />
<br />
My layers were cut at 5.25 x 4 and 5 1/8 x 3 7/8 with the basic card base measurements of 5.5 x 4.25.<br />

One of my former students approached me about doing it. I'd never done one before so I Googled it and got some inspiration from one of the posts. I would love to link you to it, but I didn't save it (just a picture that I will share at the end when I figure out which computer I saved it on). I'll try to get pictures of it set up at the wedding with the décor and everything.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I used my Eclips to cut out a free font I downloaded from the Internet. The swirls, I believe, came from <a href="http://www.myvinyldesigner.com/" target="_blank">myvinyldesigner</a>.com.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Not bad for a first attempt. The boxes came from Hobby Lobby and were very hard to cut with my hobby knife. My husband is buying me one of those little handheld rotary saws. There is a sanding attachment, too, so I can whip through my wood projects easily as well. :)</span><br />

Nuh uh!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Some of you probably already know about this trick, but the rest of you should probably sit down. This is mind-blowing! :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">See these pearls in this picture? Well, those aren't pearls. They are hot glue dots covered in PearlEx Powered Pigments. Yes, I said hot glue dots. Watch this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOxir38Mwq4" target="_blank">video</a> for the details. I don't have a fine tip on my glue gun like she does, but I think I will get a glue gun that has a tip like that. I had a lot of trouble controlling the "glue webs" and you can see the irregularity of the 'pearl' on the right.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I have been away too long. I have missed coming here and sharing my fun projects. I have a lot of them still to share, but I just haven't made the time to sit down and get them posted. Tomorrow is my monthly crafty day so I'll work on getting my projects organized and getting some pictures taken to share. In the meantime, </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I found this recently in my blog photo collection. Honestly, I don't remember all of the details. I know the punches came from Stampin' Up! as well as the paper. The ribbon, I think, is from Michael's.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I cut the card base as a normal A2 card and then trimmed about half an inch off make room for the scallop border.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Update: Guess what I stumbled upon in my craftroom first off today? You're so good! You're right! It was this paper. It is from Stampin' Up!, and it's called Springtime Vintage. All Stampin' Up! Papers are two-sided and this is the front and back of one sheet. The stamp is from a Stampin' Up! set called Wings of Friendship.</span></div>

know I said I would be posting more often. I'm sorry. It's been kind
of tough waiting for my son to finish up training, then going to get him
up in Missouri and then taking him back to get on a plane for Japan.
Yes, Japan. That hit me like a ton of bricks, which is why he probably
waited until two days before we went to get him to tell me that was
where he was being stationed. Stinker.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My daughter loves Payday bars
so it worked out perfectly. Paydays for payday. lol I put 5 of them in there and had room for
another 1 or 2 more. It's designed to hold about a dozen standard-sized

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My
daughter is a true country girl and will probably wear a denim wedding
dress. lol Maybe not. She loves denim and bandanas and anything rustic
so I used a chocolate brown paper I had gotten from Michael's during
one of their 8 for a$1.00 sales. It's finely textured and gives a little bit of an elegant-rustic feel to projects. I usually snag every bit of it they have. Sorry! The patterened paper and the ribbon
also came from Michael's. The paper is just off their racks-no kits or
paper packs. The twine came from a military surplus store my son loves to
visit when he's home. It was much thicker than what you see so I just pulled the fibers
apart to make it thinner and easier to manage for a small project. The
tag, I think, came from my eCAL software. I'm not a hundred percent
sure. If it didn't, then it was a free download from someone's blog.
I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but when I got my Eclips the Christmas
before last, I was so happy and taken with it, that I barely slept for
three days, searching for free downloads, perusing, and downloading tons
of free svg's. Then I cut all kinds of templates that I keep in a
storage container so that I can look at them to visualize future
projects and get ideas. My husband had to put me on lockdown so that I
could go back to work after Christmas break and be able to function. It
was worth it! Anyway, I could have gotten that tag from anywhere is
what I was trying to say. lol</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To make the frame, I cut the tag regular size and as a shadow from the bandana paper. I used the cut-out from the brown paper to make the tag. I also cut it from denim and bandana in the same size and then trimmed down to fit on the tag itself as a simple embellishment.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The window is plastic cut from Cricut cartridge packaging. I just cut out a small rectangle and red-sticky taped it on the inside. I do have transparency sheets, but I tend to keep plastic packaging for stuff like this, where I only need a small piece and need it to be sturdy. Waste not, want not! (You can clean it so food can touch it.)</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Quick tip: Cut another cookie tower out of wax paper (swipe your blade with Goo-gone before cutting to avoid waxy residue building up on your blade) and then glue to the inside of the box before assembling. That way, oil from the cookies doesn't seep through and ruin your design and you can still see the delectable treats inside the box.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I cut the crabs out at 3" from Create a Critter. I think the shells were cut at 3" as well, but since they are an accessory they cut out just right for the crab to hold.</span></span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You'll never know how happy I was to take that last number down! lol I loved my students this year for sure, but it will be so nice not to have to be "on" all day 5 days a week (and when I see them outside of school in the afternoons and weekends). I can relax a little and not have thoughts of lesson plans, tests/quizzes, missing homework, etc. Oh yeah, and I can clean my house and bake something yummy. I have time for Pinterest again! Wow! This is getting exciting thinking about it all. lol</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just wanted to post really quick to share the ADORABLE cards I made for my students for the end of the year. I decided to dust off the ol' Cricut Expression for this project. I have decided that I don't use it enough and need to start exploring my cartridges to see what I can make from them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The cards are 3.5 x 3.5 using white cardstock from Walmart. The paper is from my stash of "ugly" papers (the papers that get set aside because no one can think of anything to do with them). These particular papers, I am embarrassed to share, have been in the back of my van for over a year, where they were placed in a box and left there. That box is kind of an island of misfit scrapbook papers for me. Although, I must admit, ugly paper isn't so ugly when you find the right project for it. :)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The hippos were cut at 2". I used the accessories as well (puddle and grass). The inside of the card said, "Hippo Hooray! We've had a great year. Have an awesome summer!" All solid colors came from Walmart textured paper packs. The bling is from Stampin' Up!.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The monkeys were also cut at 2". The green and black are from Walmart. The brown was from Michael's (Recollections), and the tan is Creamy Caramel (retired) from Stampin' Up!. The inside said, "It was fun hanging out with you this year. Have a great summer!" </span></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The only thing missing is a stamp or printed sentiment of some kind. I didn't have a stamp that would work and didn't have time for printing this time around. I'll keep that in mind for next time. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">By the way, speaking of time, one thing I learned is that when making cards with layered designs, Xyron is the way to go. I used 2 way glue for the monkeys and it took FOREVER. I used my 5" Xyron for the hippos and saved tons of time.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The cartridge is Create a Critter. I love how they turned out so much that I just bought Create a Critter 2 to play with as well. By the way, keep on the look out for my next post, which was a bulletin board for the end of the year using the Create a Critter cartridge as well. I'm going out of town-to see Wicked in New Orleans with my best friend-but I will try to post while I'm there if we have some downtime.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm so far behind in my posting. I'm so sorry for that. That last 9 weeks of school was a killer! We did two major projects and then the end of the year crunch is always time consuming. I'm going to be working on my crafting and blogging steadily over the summer, though, so that I can get into a routine that can carry over into the next school year. I have been making some things and then saving them as drafts to post later so I'll have a lot of posts this week for you. :)</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My sister and I recently did the Expedition Everest Challenge 5K and Scavenger Hunt down at Animal Kingdom. It was a blast! We're both working on getting healthy and improving our lifestyles and doing fun runs like that turns out to be a great way to get motivated to do that. Plus the sister bonding has been great. :) Anyway, she lives about an hour and a half away so we don't get together often to train together. The first time we got together for training, my daughter came with me to watch the little girls and we stayed the night before the practice run so we would already be there the next morning and wouldn't have to get up and drive. I am so not a morning person. The little girls said we were having a royal sleepover and thought it was all about them, which was totally adorable, and partly right. lol</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">These are the thank you cards I made for them for letting us come and have a royal sleepover with them. The oldest one's nickname is Lilybug and the little one is the "Silly Little Monkey." </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I used a variety of <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/lisamariesmith/" target="_blank">Stampin' Up</a>! paper and Walmart patterned paper. The red is Cherry Cobbler from Stampin up! The red polka dotted paper is from one of their Christmas collections. I don't think they carry that one any more, though. The black and white patterned paper is from Walmart's black and white 8.5 x 11 pack. The black textured and white textured papers are both from Walmart.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The lavender and yellow papers are both from <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/lisamariesmith/" target="_blank">Stampin' Up</a>! The green polka dots are from Hobby Lobby and the patterned paper at the bottom is some I had in my stash from forever ago.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The lady bug and monkey are both blingy stickers I found at Hobby Lobby. It was so perfect that they had something there for both girls at the same time that I just had to get them. The cards were made around the stickers. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was hoping they would love them! Look how happy they are! My sister said she is going to frame them and make them part of their room decor. Great idea! I'll get pictures and add them when I go see them in a couple of weeks for our next practice run. We're doing the Happy Haunted 5K in October. Woot woot! </span></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">The bestie has been busy again! Just look at what she came up with. What a heifer! Now I've got to really pull it together to come up with something to compare to these gorgeous cards. (Can you tell we're a little competitive? Okay. Maybe a lot competitive. lol) </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">She's starting her own blog, by the way, so I'll just give you the general down-low here and then add her link when she gets it up and running so you can get more detailed information on them. I'm pretty sure all the colors are from the Brights collection from Stampin' Up! The patterned paper is from the last catalog, but you could do these with the new patterns just as well. The new paper is really great. The stamp is also from Stampin' Up! and was carried over to the new catalog. I loved these so much that I'm getting that stamp set this month at our monthly hostess party. (You can order it <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/lisamariesmith/" target="_blank">here</a>.) Then I'll post what I come up with as well. </span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I got th<span style="font-size: large;">e cans fro<span style="font-size: large;">m Michael<span style="font-size: large;">'s. They were 80% off and came to <span style="font-size: large;">almost exactly what I had left on a gift card I had received f<span style="font-size: large;">or my <span style="font-size: large;">birthday. I g<span style="font-size: large;">ot the little basket from Target i<span style="font-size: large;">n<span style="font-size: large;"> the $1.00 bin. All I did was <span style="font-size: large;">color some plain bling with a<span style="font-size: large;">n <span style="font-size: large;">aqua Bi<span style="font-size: large;">c Mark-it and then stick <span style="font-size: large;">them on. <span style="font-size: large;">It added that little something extra. O<span style="font-size: large;">n the basket, I used E6000 to glue some ribbon and a bow that I had made onto it and then added a large <span style="font-size: large;">bling. I put <span style="font-size: large;">marbles in<span style="font-size: large;"> it to weight it down and I use<span style="font-size: large;"> it as a pencil cup in my classroom now.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This was one of the first cards I ever made about <span style="font-size: large;">4-5 years ago. I was sor<span style="font-size: large;">ting through some pictures <span style="font-size: large;">on Facebook and came <span style="font-size: large;">across this one. I <span style="font-size: large;">love this card even though I mad<span style="font-size: large;">e <span style="font-size: large;">it when I <span style="font-size: large;">was just an <span style="font-size: large;">inexperienced,</span> card-making bab<span style="font-size: large;">y</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>. The colors are so great together, though, aren't they.<span style="font-size: large;"> How did I manage that? <span style="font-size: large;">Seriously, <span style="font-size: large;">you should see some of the cards I was so proud of at the time.......and can't believe I <span style="font-size: large;">actually<span style="font-size: large;"> took picture<span style="font-size: large;">s of. lol</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

It'll be our little s<span style="font-size: large;">ecret. </span>Can you believe how cute <span style="font-size: large;">it turned out with a pack of $1<span style="font-size: large;">.00 scrapbook paper? The base paper came from Michael's, but the rest is from the Dollar Tree. The stamp is from Stampin' Up!<span style="font-size: large;"> I think it was a hostess set, but I'm not sure.

She did this card a<span style="font-size: large;">while back that<span style="font-size: large;"> was just so simple and<span style="font-size: large;"> elegant that I had to do some for myself. I left off the sentiment so that I could add <span style="font-size: large;">them l<span style="font-size: large;">ater as needed, but here is my version<span style="font-size: large;">. If you click on "My Pink Stamper" a<span style="font-size: large;">bove<span style="font-size: large;">, you will be taken to <span style="font-size: large;">the vid<span style="font-size: large;">eo tutorial she <span style="font-size: large;">did<span style="font-size: large;">.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The paper is Whisper White from S<span style="font-size: large;">tampin' Up! I did a 5.5" x 8.5" fold<span style="font-size: large;">ed in half card base. Then I emb<span style="font-size: large;">ossed <span style="font-size: large;">about 3/4 of a 5.25" x 4" piece of Whisper <span style="font-size: large;">White. I af<span style="font-size: large;">fixed the velvet ribbon (from Hobby Lobby) o<span style="font-size: large;">nto it, using the "cheater method" from My Pink Stamper. I use my ATG <span style="font-size: large;">Gun instead of <span style="font-size: large;">Scotch tape, though. The flowers are from <span style="font-size: large;">The Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. I b<span style="font-size: large;">ought a packa<span style="font-size: large;">ge of<span style="font-size: large;"> the bla<span style="font-size: large;">ck and white and a pack<span style="font-size: large;">age <span style="font-size: large;">of the pret<span style="font-size: large;">ty aqua and then mixed and matched them. The bling came with the flowers. I us<span style="font-size: large;">ed hot glue to adhere th<span style="font-size: large;">e flowers. <span style="font-size: large;">Aren't they pretty? I just love <span style="font-size: large;">the ideas she comes up wit<span style="font-size: large;">h. They are so simple and alw<span style="font-size: large;">ays cute.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I <span style="font-size: large;">just HAD to have this tray when I first saw it at Hobby Lobby almost two y<span style="font-size: large;">ears ago. <span style="font-size: large;">My hubby and I were on an an<span style="font-size: large;">niversary weekend away in Daphne<span style="font-size: large;">, AL (one of my favorite places in my small world), and I had printed out coupon<span style="font-size: large;">s for each of us for each of the 3 day<span style="font-size: large;">s of our</span> stay. I know. We're wild and crazy and can't be trusted when we go off together. ;) lol! Anyway, I got it. Then promp<span style="font-size: large;">tly become too i<span style="font-size: large;">ntimidated by it to do anything with <span style="font-size: large;">it. It ha<span style="font-size: large;">s<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">been in my craft room causing all kinds of mischie<span style="font-size: large;">f ever<span style="font-size: large;"> since. It<span style="font-size: large;"> always seemed to be covering up something that<span style="font-size: large;"> I needed, or sliding off the shelf onto my head when I tried to look for something. Sometimes, it would be in a place other than w<span style="font-size: large;">here I thought I had left it. Not as creepy as that weird clown d<span style="font-size: large;">oll in the USPS commerc<span style="font-size: large;">ials, but it defini<span style="font-size: large;">tely had to be<span style="font-size: large;"> used. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

I can't remember the name of the company for the pendan<span style="font-size: large;">t, but <span style="font-size: large;">I got it from the jewelry section at Hobby Lobby. I originally did it with Crystal Effects o<span style="font-size: large;">ver the picture, but I didn't like it<span style="font-size: large;"> so I pull<span style="font-size: large;">ed it out and redid it with just the picture. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sorry about the blurriness. I didn't notice it until I had already taken the photo tray to schoo<span style="font-size: large;">l. This i<span style="font-size: large;">s a scanned copy of somet<span style="font-size: large;">hing my friend had written on the back of one of her mother's photos. I was so touched <span style="font-size: large;">that I decided it<span style="font-size: large;"> need<span style="font-size: large;">ed it<span style="font-size: large;">s own tray. I printed it on vellum and layered <span style="font-size: large;">it over one of the <span style="font-size: large;">papers from the stack. The lattice punch is one I've had for a mon<span style="font-size: large;">th or so. I<span style="font-size: large;"> was so exci<span style="font-size: large;">ted to find that punch and get it 50% off that I came <span style="font-size: large;">home and punched<span style="font-size: large;"> out a pi<span style="font-size: large;">ece of my favorite paper just to see<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">the effect. Then, I couldn<span style="font-size: large;">'t decide what to do with it so I set it aside to w<span style="font-size: large;">ait for the perfect project. It was <span style="font-size: large;">buried under other things<span style="font-size: large;">,</span> and I stumbled u<span style="font-size: large;">po<span style="font-size: large;">n it looking for my adh<span style="font-size: large;">esive eraser. Perfect project<span style="font-size: large;"> indeed! <span style="font-size: large;">The die is from Spellbinders.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just a quick post. I gave this notebook to my mom-in-law for Christmas. I wasn't originally going to. I was going to hoard it. I love this paper. It's called Spice Cake by Stampin' Up! and it is probably my favorite of all of their patterned paper. When I found myself inventing a need for the notebook (I already have so many other notebooks that I use for various purposes), I decided to go ahead and share the love and include this as a gift on Christmas. When you're struggling for excuses to keep something, it's time to give it away. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Funny thing, though. Later that evening I drove over to my bestie's house so my daughter and I could ride with her and her mother to the movie theater to see Les Miserables. She presented me with TWO MORE PACKS of this paper for Christmas! Woot woot! What an awesome gift from an awesome friend. Love her!</span></span><br />

I had to wait to post it, because I wasn't able to give it to her on Christmas like I had planned. I had those horrible vinyl issues that set my timeline for gifting back. Strangely, we haven't seen each other since Christmas night. Normally, we would have had at least one sleepover by now, but she's dealing with some stuff with her parents, and I've been crafting like a beast and burning up the miles on my new treadmill. Anyway, we went back to work today so I just walked the four doors down from my classroom where her classroom is to give it to her.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The inspiration for this card came strai<span style="font-size: large;">ght from Robin at <a href="http://www.mypinkstamper.com/2012/12/episode-325-somebirdy-loves-you.html" target="_blank">My Pink Stamper</a>. She posted<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">a video for the cutest card the other day<span style="font-size: large;">, and I was just so excited to make one myself. I don't have the Cricut cartridge she used<span style="font-size: large;">,<span style="font-size: large;"> and <span style="font-size: large;">it was going to be about $30.00 to buy it (not the time of the year for extra stuff like that) so I looked through the ones I already h<span style="font-size: large;">ad. I found this cute little bird<span style="font-size: large;">y on my Create a Critter cartridge, which I have NEVER used<span style="font-size: large;"> but just H<span style="font-size: large;">AD to have. I a<span style="font-size: large;">ctually have a lot of cartridges that fall into that category. I really need to start using m<span style="font-size: large;">ore of my stuff. I don't even know what I have!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

I never could decide which one I wanted to start <span style="font-size: large;">my collection with.

Zoomed in, it doesn't look very clear and pretty, but you can't tell it by just looking at the card. I used my Night of Navy <span style="font-size: large;">stampin' markers. The Eclips drew the trace-line, which it wasn't supposed to do.<span style="font-size: large;"> I filled it in after. I'll be playing<span style="font-size: large;"> around tom<span style="font-size: large;">orrow to find out why it did the outline when I asked it to just <span style="font-size: large;">do the <span style="font-size: large;">'fill'.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I used E6000 to a<span style="font-size: large;">dhere the ribbon to the buckets. I've never us<span style="font-size: large;">ed it before, but I've hea<span style="font-size: large;">rd that<span style="font-size: large;"> i<span style="font-size: large;">t's great for pro<span style="font-size: large;">jects <span style="font-size: large;">involving metal so I bought some. I've been afraid to use it so it's been si<span style="font-size: large;">tting in my craft <span style="font-size: large;">room for over a year. I saw a video on Above Rubies Studio this morning that convinced me to get it out and try it. It's not so bad. I was worried about the fumes (I have asthma.<span style="font-size: large;">), but it wasn't that bad. N<span style="font-size: large;">o wheezing or anything. <span style="font-size: large;">Yay!<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">:)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I used the Wall Decor and More cartridge to cut my words. I didn't have to <span style="font-size: large;">do anything special to <span style="font-size: large;">them. <span style="font-size: large;">I us<span style="font-size: large;">ed my Gypsy just so that <span style="font-size: large;">I could get them all lin<span style="font-size: large;">ed up on the mat. They were already set to 1" in height so I just left them. That turned out to be the per<span style="font-size: large;">fect height. By the way, using my Gypsy also allo<span style="font-size: large;">wed me to pause the cut when I saw that the vinyl was tearing on some of the<span style="font-size: large;"> more intr<span style="font-size: large;">icate<span style="font-size: large;"> parts like what happened with my Eclips the other<span style="font-size: large;"> day</span>. I did my little trick with the Go<span style="font-size: large;">o Gone and continued the cut with no more problems. Not<span style="font-size: large;">e to self: Do that first<span style="font-size: large;"> and then cut. :)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
