Working hard

Still working on my craftroom.  It is going very slowly.

Happy July

I can not believe that June is over!  I am still working on my craftroom, I have been under the weather for a while so I haven't worked on it or any projects.  It's about time for new products from Close to My Heart, I can not wait to get my book and begin on my wish list.  Jr. has been working on his train layout, he has learned so much.  We started back officially with "school".  We are working on the 10 Commandments.  I will get into all we are doing more tomorrow.

CTMH Cards

Today is my Mom's Birthday and Mom & Dad's Anniversary.  I made these cards both from retired CTMH Mayberry paper.  The balloons are cut from CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge at 2.5" I added the face stamp from Peachy Keen.  The flowers on the Anniversary card is cut from Art Philosophy cartridge at 2.5" and the tag was cut at 2.75".  We are still working on my craft room hopefully I can get everything moved in and organized so I can get back to making cards.  I will be using my Cricut Imagine for our train's buildings so I will have lots of fun things to do! :)

New Studio in the works

I am still working on getting my new computer back with all the crafting files from my old computer.  While I am working on that my wonderful boys are painting my new crafting room.  I haven't had much going on with making cards or crafts or scrapbooking.

Walls are a green color and the floor is going to be pink.  I will have them paint the beam black.

It's taking the floor longer to dry, so I have only moved a few things in there now.  This use to be our storage area with all my allergies I am going to get rid of my clutter.  I don't decorate anymore for holidays except for Christmas so I should have a lot more space.

New Computer

Well my old (and I mean old) laptop for my crafting life bit the dust last month.  I am in the process of getting everything back in order, then I hope to be better at keeping my blog up to date!

CTMH Hip Pics Album

Oops, I didn't do very well at trying to blog regularly.  Life happens.  As you see I have a new granddaughter, we helped out when momma went back to work babysitting until a spot opened up in daycare.  It was a wonderful time and we miss her so much.  That is the beauty in homeschooling, anywhere and anytime we can and do learn!  The boys have been redoing their train layout.  I guess it is time to get back to my "Studio".  I have a lot of presents to make.

This is what I made for my hubby's parents.  It is a "Hip Pic" album from CTMH available in the Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide on page .  The kit Z1915 is $12.95; it come with the album 8 pages with window on page to fit a photo so 16 photos in all (4X6), B size My Acrylix Hip Pics Album Stamp Set, and die-cut shapes.  I printed to photos in 4X4 size and printed on 4X6 photo paper.  (I used Adobe Photo shop--my Christmas present--Love it!)

I used a retired paper pack Stella (only two sheets) cut 2x4 strips to put on the bottom of the pages Babycakes (D1569) stamp set which has the matching cuts, Art Philosophy Cartridge (Z1686), Olive and Tulip Inkpad, and matching Stella completments package (also retired).
