New Cards for Class

I'm teaching another Cricut class at Craft Fancy next week. This time we making cards.

This wedding card is my favorite. I love the sparkles on the veil and the flourishes. If you want to see a larger version of any of the pictures, just click on them.


Next up is a Father's Day card.


A Thank You card. (Thanks Nicole for the color combination inspiration.)


A 4th of July card. The little stars on wires so they are kind of springy and fun.


And last but not least, a cute baby card.



I'm also teaching a class this week. We will be making a 4th of July layout using the same paper as the card. I don't have a picture of it, but you can see it on the Craft Fancy website. Just use the link at the top of the page.

It's a Shocker

I've actually been doing some scrapbooking. I know you probably thought I had given it up in favor of knitting, but no. I must thank Susan at The Scrap Room for inspiring me with her new Sketch Class.

These layouts are from the first three sketches. I think if you click on the pictures, you can make them larger.

Our friends with Melissa on her birthday at Disneyland


Aww...aren't they cute?


More birthday fun at Disneyland


I've also been making cards. These four are for a class I'm teaching at Craft Fancy. Who knew teaching classes on using the Cricut machine would be so popular. I have quite a following in the classes each month. (Sorry they are a little blurry, I need to work on my photography skills)

This is my favorite card, I'm sure you will see several versions of it in the future.





Yes Karen, Mom did get a handmade Mother's Day card (it just didn't arrive on Mother's Day) and here it is:

And finally there has been some knitting. One of the ladies in my knitting group has a 3 year old neighbor with leukemia who needed some hats to keep her head warm. So a few of us made some for her. Here is the one I made.



I'm also working on Mom's socks and a top for myself. Hopefully both will be finished before we go on vacation in June.

I also want to thank Kimi for the cute knitting project bag she made for me. I haven't had a chance to take a picture of it, but will post it in the next blog.

Thanks for reading, feel free to post comments if you would like.

The Countdown Starts

Every vacation needs a countdown right? So here is the one for our Mediterranean cruise in June. It is right by the front door so we can see it every time we pass by. By the way, as of today the cruise is 45 days away.

He has socks!!!

I finally finished Dad's socks while we were at Disneyland. We went a little crazy taking pictures of them all over Toontown. These are just a few of the many photos we took.

These are in Mickey's house.

Happy Easter





I'm teaching another Cricut basics class at Craft Fancy on Tuesday, April 14. 

We will be making this cute Easter layout. I was kind of surprised that Melissa would let me use these pictures of her on the layout. I thought she might be embarrassed to have pictures of her as a kid in the store, but she wasn't. (For those of you that don't know, she works part-time at the store.) I just love the bunny and the chick, they are so cute.






Have a Happy Easter everyone!
