What a week............

 I know I am not the only one who those days just seem to never end...
We had that large snow storm on sunday and monday last week, just when the green grass was peeking through. So that was ever so sad, my computer was still not fixed, and to top that off my husband came home from work  and said he had thrown his back out. He could hardly even move, so that left me with all the 13" of snow to move. Then on Tuesday morning I got a frantic call from my friend where I board my horse, Ms Kitty, and she said she was sick was has a BAD case of colic, colic is like a twisted stomach, and at least half the time can be fatal, so I was on barn duty, nursing a sick mare back to health. As I was sitting in the barn praying for things to get better, I decided to put in a thank you, as the back injury could have been way worse, and I easily could have lost my dear Ms Kitty. SO I was thankful in having the chance to save 1 of  my most prized possessions. I have had so many great times with Ms Kitty, and we have been through a lot together. I would be lost without that loving face and big heart to love. So I am happy to say, she has pulled through, and is going to be fine. So I thought I would share some photo's of Ms Kitty with everyone.
Ms Kitty is an Overo Paint mare, and is the most quiet, sweet and loving horse. She has more personality than most people, and loves Chocolate muffins.

She will even allow you to dress her up and put on lip gloss, earrings, clip on of course, she wears ball caps, bandanas, and what ever else one wants to try on a horse...

She is amazing when we go to jack pots and other rodeo events. Can normally find her tied to the trailer sleeping or begging food off the people passing by..

This is Kitty's best friend, Cowgirl...She is a grey Quarter Horse..These 2 go and do everything together..Both are amazing.

As you can see here, I have something hanging from my mouth, well it is Kitty's Pixy Stick, those little tubes of sugar. She loves them, and after each new completed task, she gets her pixy treat...

Then there's the times, when she is stubborn as a mule. And decides it is too hot and she can not possibly take another step. So I end up waiting on her to decide it's not so bad. I am in such hurry for Spring to get here, there's nothing better than the smell of a horse and leather, well I guess if you like that sort of thing. Looking forward to a quiet week this week. Fingers crossed

I am almost there..And the winner is ???

As you may or may not know, I was infected with a horrible virus, the technicians said that usually when a computer is damaged that badly there is no saving it, but they did a wonderful job by remote access, and fixed me up good as new. And I did not loose anything. I was ever so happy. But being down and out of the loop for 13 days has me really far behind, and trying to desperately play catch up. Well I am almost caught up... Know it is time to get back on track and not look back.

Those of you who have won files during the blog hop, you will be getting an email from me shortly.
Thank you all very much

An honor to recieve and pass on..

Wow, what a great surprise, I feel so blessed to have such beautiful online friends..
Jen, my dear Cooking with Cricut Design Team member has ever so graciously awarded me this award. Jen is such a talented paper artist, and a wonderful person, I am blown away be her talents, her spirit, and Jen's gift to give in any way she can. Thank you my friend...
This award was created by Grace at Gracenotes for Today.  She decided to create an award for the special sites which, in her opinion, have it ALL together. Not only are their projects great, but the blog owner has taken the time to make sure the overall blog design is good. This includes spelling, layout, color scheme, titling and pictures.


There are some Rules of Acceptance for the Award!

 

You can right click on the award and save it to your desktop so it can be added to your blog.

1. Choose 5 worthy Recipients and list them. Give a reason why you think their blog or work is special
2. Then list 5 things about yourself including one thing you enjoy about crafting.

One small request. It is not a rule, but Grace would greatly appreciate a link back to her blog attached to the award badge when you display it on your site. Grace has kept the requirements few and simple so people will not feel it is a chore to accept the award. It is meant to be fun and encouraging! Since there are only 5 recipients each time, select them carefully and thoughtfully.

 

So here are my 5 choices in no particular order.

1. Anne from Stargroves blog... Anne is an amazing card artist. Such an eye for detail, color and just a beautiful person inside and out. And a fellow GlitterBee blog sister.

2. Joanne from Cardiology etc...Joanne is one talented gal.  Such a passion for the people in her life. A beautiful person inside and out.  The cards Jo creates are absolutely stunning. A SBS29 blog sister.

3. Tracey from Crafty corner blog.. Oh Tracey, you have got to see her work. She is amazing, her cards are stunning, and she is the sweetest person you will ever meet.

4. Karla over at KA Little ScrapCorner..Karla,is one of my co Dt members on cooking with cricut. She is an amazing paper artist. Such an eye for detail, she makes the most amazing paper piecings, her cards are stunning, and you will want to check her blog out.

5. Melissa, at Melissa's scrappen place, Melissa also a co member of the Cooking with cricut design team. Melissa has such an eye for crafting, she makes amazing layouts and  cards. Another talented lady with a passion for paper crafting..

Those are my choices, although I would love to give it a lot more people. These ladies are all very special to me.

The hardest part is telling 5 things you do not know about me.

1. I have the most generous, handsome, and loving Sons a Mother could ever want. They are my world.

2. I train and breed Labs for Duck/Goose/pheasant hunting. My 2 studs are the biggest babies in the world. When men come to buy hunting dogs they are surprised to see a woman doing all the training, and breeding. I love it.

3. I also Train my own horses, and compete in Rodeo's doing Barrel racing and pole bending. I love my horse, Ms Kitty, she is more human than most people are. And demands a chocolate muffin, a hug and a smooch before any work can take place.

4. I love to teach others to paper craft, and donate my time and supplies to 4-h groups, Girl Scouts,church groups, nursing homes, anyone who wants or needs to do an activity. I also hold free crops and classes from beginner to advanced and even cricut/gypsy/inkscape/Design studio and MTC classes

5. I am trying to open an actual store front scrap store in my town. We have no place to shop unless we travel at least 40 minutes. 

Thank you again Jen, you rock!

Cooking with cricut challenge swirls and twirls

Good day crafty ones, have I told you all how happy I am to be back!! I know I am late, and I apologize for being late, but better late than never, this is my entry for this weeks challenge, Swirls and Twirls...I know it is nothing spectacular, and working with no computer, no cutting programs, just a stand alone cricut, was a tall order for me. And I have never been so lost in a creative process before, and I hated it. I have realized several things in the last 10 days.
1. I come to heavily depend on my computer, the amazing programs out there, and
2. I have completely come to depend on the cutters, the programs, and the talented file creators out there, and
3. My life basically stopped and was in complete turmoil without my computer.
4. I missed all of you so very much, and seriously had blog withdrawl symptoms.
I realized I still had my gypsy to work with, which has been seriously forgotten about, but with the help of my little old cricut, my cartridges, some extra creativity, and this is what I came up with. I have never fully appreciated the paper artists who do beautiful work, and without the help of technology, so I think that in itself deserves a standing O. And I for one an envious of you crafty ones. SO with that said, and a renewed outlook on technology, I love my techie gadgets, and my online friends, please dont ever take them away again from me. lol

It is so good to be back up and running!!
Oh how I have missed everyone! I always knew my life revolved around my beautiful online friends, all the blogs, my addiction to paper crafting, and cutting files. I have so missed everyone. And tomorrow I will post this weeks challenge, and other things.
I am happy to be back, and see everyone.

Cooking with Cricut Embossing Challenge

Hi Ladies, please forgive for posting this late. I got a bad virus/spy ware from opening a PDF document, not sure how the heck that happened but it got in right past my McAfee. So I am at a friends house right now using her computer, as I feel horrible for not being on time.
This little cutie is my Granddaughter when she was just a few weeks old

Any way, so anyway, this weeks challenge was embossing. So I pulled out my stylus, my light box, wax paper, and the template I wanted to use, and hand embossed the background paper my self. Yup, no embossing folders, no machines to do it for me. Once I had the embossing done, I got my baby wipes, my distress inks, and colored and shaded the paper till I was happy  with the out come, also took a small mister bottle, and wet all around the paper, and scrunched it all up till I was satisfied with the texture. Then Hit it with the heat gun till stiff. After all of that I took the embossing powders, and gold emboss powder and just did a hit and miss around the edges. So there is hand/dry embossing and heat embossing.
One would think after all the flowers I hand made for the blog hop I would be sick of making them, but oh no, I had to cut out more, hand emboss them, ink em and add them to this page as well. It was fun, doing things the old way again...
BLOG HOP WINNERS!!!
I have emailed those of you have won, with instructions on how to collect your prizes...Thank you all for making the blog hop a great success.
I am not sure whn I will be back on as I still need to have the spyware/virus removed from my computer, but will do my best to be back soon. Thank you for your understanding.
Have a wonderful week

Sweet Shop Blog Hop ...It's Today....

Welcome to Paper Creations and the CookingWithCricut.com Sweetshop Blog Hop!  If you’ve never enjoyed a blog hop before, it’s where you ‘hop’ between blogs following a chain of links, with each blog in the chain posting something exciting for the event!

So this is one of my projects.....

This is a basket of flowers, perfect for anyone, or just table decorations...

First to make the basket you need a 12x12 piece of heavy card stock, Then you will need to use your scor-pal and score in both directions at 4" and 8" so you end up with ((9)) 4" squares.  Next on 2 opposite sides cut to center score, this will allow you to bring up sides and shape into basket. Then just decorate as you want to. These baskets can be made smaller, but not larger. Just be sure to keep the dimensions.

.Next I took a 2 1/2" wide strip of paper, and using Martha Stewart border punch I punched both side, added a second strip of white and attached as the handle, added a few rose blooms to the top of the handle. 

  Next step

Glued some lace around the basket, added a floral piece of foam to the inside to hold my flowers, and your good to go.

Then it is time to start making those oh so wonderful flowers... I have used all the flower files from our trusty leader, Melin, and all her little tips for making beautiful flowers... You can find that info HERE.

Once the flowers were all rolled and arranged, I made some cute paper piecings, also designed by Melin, and those files are available HERE .  

Next I cut a Love U bingo card, and also added to my flower basket.... And that's about it...

All of the flowers, were created with paper, and my cricut and are they addicting.. Come back tomorrow for day 2 of the blog hop and register to win . Also  be sure to check those sites I gave you, as you will not want to miss Melin's tips and tricks for making these beautiful blooms....Tomorrow is part 2 of the ultimate V-Day gifts..

Now onto the fun, games and give away's...

1. My secret letter, that you need to complete the phrase is ((P))....Once you have all the letters from each blog collected, unscramble the letters, and submit your answer to the CWC blog...

Super Bowl Day...

Hey crafty ones, well excitement to share, our beloved Packers made it once again. Being only about 30 + minutes from Green Bay, the town is absolutely c-R-A-Z-Y.... I can normally hold my excitement untill game time, but I just cam back from town, and the mood there is catching on. I have been working on a little something, but can not seem to be able to concentrate long enough to get it done.
As some of you may know, I am a huge altered arts junkie, and love to make the torso tags, wings, the DaVinci Pear, and mermaids...So I tried something new..Have a look at the tags and let me know what you think

SO how I made these is, I took a tan sheet of 8 1/2 x 11" card stock, baby wipes, and brightly colored inks. coloring my card stock with the inks and wipes untill I was happy with the sheet. Let dry, and then random stamping all over the sheet, I used vintage/zetti stamps.  Let dry,. Loaded the paper into my Silhouette cutter, choose the images and cut them out, so each piece is very random as to the images. Once cut remove from sticky mat, and  then sprayed them with the Tattered Angels glimmer mist. Again let dry and they are ready to use, or store them for another day. I normally fill the entire sheet so the whole sheet cuts out. Why cut just one. That way when I need one I have several in all sizes. And as long as you have the inks and wipe why not make 1 big mess. You can also do this with flowers or any image really. For those of you using the Cricut I found it works just as well, but I then use the smooth card stock instead of textured, as the inks really don't get into the little nooks and crannies of the textured papers. If anyone would like some of these cut drop me a line and I will be happy to send you some of each design.
I also really like doing the paper dolls with wings. Here are the before hand pics

Have a great day!

hand made prima look alike

 Hello Crafty ones, today I just could not help myself, I have been in the mood for flower making. So this file is modeled after the lg prima's.. I choose a stamp set from StampinUp and stamped the tops of the flowers, then I scored lines in the petals, all thats left is a pretty center, some greens and to be added to your project. And you can cut these in any color combo that suits the project you are making. STack as high as you like, there are no rules, and they are beautiful once completed.

may even want to heat emboss the layers before assembling. Hope you all have a great day, if you would like the file, send me a note and I will point you in right direction.
Have a wonderful weekend

Cookimg with Cricut, Challenge Ground Hogs salute

Welcome to the Cooking with Cricut Challenge "Ground Hog's salute" This weeks challenge was to complete a project with a shadow. So on this layout, I created a background paper using my Cricut design studio, the cartridge, school book, accent essentials, live struck, home decor, and storybook. The flourishes also are shadowed. I living here in the mid west, and waking up this morning to over a foot and half of snow in the last 36 hours with 40MPH winds am sure the ground hog is in no hurry to make his appearance.
The photo is of our Sweet Granddaughter Adrianna.  I love this photo of Anna, she is a living doll..

 As you can see, the flourishes are shadowed,  as is Adrianna's sweet little face with the heart prop used at the photo shoot.

 Using Prima flower's and sparkly buttons, they complete the look of the flowers

Distress inks inks used to color backgrounds, flourishes, and flowers. Be sure to check out the rest of the amazing projects made by the Cooking with Cricut design team. HERE. Each of these ladies is a very talented and amazing paper artists, and I am proud to be a member of their team.
