Better late than never

Sorry for the delay in getting these pictures posted. I took bad photos and waited until I could get a copy of the lovely ones that April took. Didn't she do a great job?

Cards for men is the theme of the month. You can click on the pictures for a larger view if you like.

First up, a bicycle by a tree. I'm really loving the different trees on the Cricut cartridges and have used several of them in projects. This one is from the Serenade cartridge and the bicycle is from Just Because Cards.

Next we have a truck full of gifts. The truck is from Just Because Cards and the gifts are from Doodlecharms. I love the little tags.

Make A Wish - the letters are from Country Life. I really like the old fashioned alphabet on this one. The candle is from Straight from the Nest and the gift is from Doodlecharms.

For the golfer in your life. The golf bag is from Celebrate with Flourish, and the letters are from Plantin Schoolbook. I used the shadow version of the letters to give them a little more weight.

And finally, Catch You Later! The fish and pole are from Simply Charmed and the words are from Just Because Cards.

The paper I used this month is the Twig line from Little Yellow Bicycle. The colors are perfect for cards for guys.

Hope to see you in class!

Its Your Birthday!

Thought I would share the card I made for my Dad's Birthday. I didn't use the Cricut for this one. Shocker I know!! 

I had fun with some stamps and ink. I really like this Sassafras paper, so many colors to choose from. I'm sure I'll use it again for more cards.

Here are a couple of pictures from the storm earlier this week. The first one was from Tuesday night. Quite the blizzard. We even had thunder snow which was kind of weird. Tonight we get the 11:00 pm-whenever cleaning of the garage roof. They move the snow from the garage to the street and then load it into dump trucks and take it away. A very noisy process.

This one is from Wednesday morning. We ended up with about 18" of snow. One good thing about living downtown is all of the streets around us are cleaned up really quickly.

January Classes

Did you know it was almost Valentine's Day? Well that is what we will be doing in the January Cricut Classes.

The paper I've chosen this month is Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime collection and the Le' Romantique Collection. I love the soft peachy colors and the pretty flowers. Perfect for Valentines don't you think? I also used some pretty ivory pleated ribbon and some pearls. The cards all have the same background with different images and green borders across the bottom.

It's Christmas at our house!

While Steve was busy putting up the Christmas tree, I was putting this cute Christmas wreath together for our front door.

I've been wanting to try out the Nativity set on the Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge since I got it. I love it. 

There is another Nativity set on the Winter Frolic cartridge. I'll have to try that one out next.

Here is our beautiful silver and white tree. Steve did a great job decorating don't you think?  The village under the tree is pretty and a great way to keep the cat from playing with the tree. Who knew they would come in handy when Melissa was collecting them a few years ago.

I also cut out some snowflakes to add some detail to the covered boxes that the tree stands on.

Merry Christmas from our house to yours.

December Cricut Classes

Hello December (well almost!). Time for some new cards. Cricut class dates for December are: Tuesday, December 7; Friday, December 11; Tuesday, December 14 and Friday, December 18.

The first card is a Thank You card. This card uses the Winter Frolic, Accent Essentials and the Freshly Picked cartridges.

The next card could be a Sympathy Card or a Birthday Card. I'll leave it up to you. This one is from the Country Life cartridge.

This card, from the Accent Essentials cartridge would be a great Birthday Card for any of the guys in your life.

Here is Birthday Card with a surprise inside. I used the Straight From the Nest and Doodletype Cartridges for this card.

A pop up Happy Birthday! 

The final card is my favorite little owl from Create a Critter. The sentiment on this one says, "Just sittin' here thinkin' of you!"

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. If you have any questions about the cards or classes, leave me a comment or check out the Craft Fancy website.

November Cards

Here are the cards for the November Cricut classes at Craft Fancy.

I wanted to try some shaped cards this time. I think they look really cool.

The cartridges I used this time are: Accent Essentials, Create A Critter, Stretch Your Imagination, Winter Frolic and Winter Woodland.

I will also be teaching a class called Itty Bitty Treasures. It is a small box and six mini cards. The class is open to everyone, no Cricut needed. I'll post pictures of the box and cards next week.
