March and April Calendars

 I'm a little behind but also ahead!  I'm behind in posting my March calendar.. but just by a few days.  Again I have used the Cricut cartridge called A Child's Year. Here in Florida it's spring so I decided to have the March kids playing outside in the sunshine.

 And look at this!  I have almost 4 weeks before I need my April calendar!  Yay me!  Like the rest of my calendars I used Tim Holtz paper from his Vintage Shabby paper pack and of course A Child's Year. If you are wondering where the grass silhouette came from,  I pieced together the grass from one of the other images on the cartridge. 
That's it for me today.
Tomorrow I will fill you in on how a nail trim for my dog turned into a 8 hour stay at Pet Smart for both of us.  I hate Pet Smart!!!

Happy February

Today's post is a picture of my February calendar page.  I am making a perpetual calendar using images from Cricut's A Child's Year and paper from the Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby paper pack collection.  Perpetual meaning I just need to make new month pages each year.
Today is a quick post, we are moving the office/craft room into the master bedroom.  I can't wait to see how it's going to turn out!!
thanks for stopping in ☺

Happy New Year

 Happy New Year Gremlins!  um, I mean friends.  I don't know where that came from!
Today's post shows my January calendar made with Cricut's cartridge A Child's Year, Martha's snowflake punch and Tim Holtz Shabby Chic paper stack.  I searched a couple of hours and couldn't find the calendar site that I used for my earlier pages.  So I decided to write it out...I just noticed that I need to add the 31st.  silly me.  I've also posted my September calendar that I never showed you.  I like this one.  It reminds me of my kids when we used to do arts and crafts together.

That's it for today.
Thanks again for stopping in and Happy New Year!

Yes, I'm still around

Hello Blogland,  I hope you haven't forgotten me.  As we all know, sometimes life just gets in the way. I've been taking care of myself by staying active in my craft room, just not actively taking pictures.  Today, I made a list of the things I wanted to accomplish before sitting at my desk and taking some pictures and posting them were at the top.  so here ya go...

 

I know this is a bit of a repeat, but I wanted a picture with a few of my birdhouses together.  I love playing with these inexpensive little guys.  I then go to the thrift store and find candlesticks to use as their bases.

Next up is my ongoing Cricut calendar, which I finally finished last night..only 2 weeks late.  I've been creating the calendar using Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby paper stack and A Child's Year by Cricut.

I have also started working on some Christmas cards.  I created this snowman and  even made an SVG file for him!  How about that! If you'd like to have it, just let me know and I'll send it right out to you.

The center step card above was created using Merry Christmas Home from Webster's Pages, MS glitter and a Christmas paper stack.

 Next up is a card I created while playing around with my Martha Stewart punch.  I ended up punching out quite a few branches and came up with this adorable wreath.  I then realized I even had a Martha bow punch.  Perfect :-)

 That's it for today.  Time to go have some dinner, feet up and tv time.
Thanks for stopping in to check on me.

Cricut Calendar ~ October

Happy October!  My goodness this year has flown by so quickly!  October!  Can you believe it!  Here in Florida it's hard to wrap my head around that it is actually fall.  We have no visual clues and the temperature is absolutely gorgeous!  I guess the only clue that it is fall is that the stores are already filling in their Christmas items.  uggg.
So anyway :-)  Here is my October desk calendar using my Cricut A Child's Year cartridge.  You can see my past months here.
Thanks for visiting...and Happy October!!

June July and August Calendar Pages

Today's post features the calendar pages I have been creating using Cricuts 'A Child's Year'.

This has been my go-to cartridge when it comes to challenges.  I am able to find so many images that fit just right.  This challenge, from The Cutting Cafe, 

is to use a silhouette in your project.

 

 I have also finished September and October, but I haven't taken pictures of them. 

 

Although if you are really curious to see them, please check out my You Tube channel.

I'd love to hear from you and thanks for visiting.

Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenge

 Hello all, happy weekend.  This card took some major planning.  My Cricut is in one room and my craft room is in another..so lots of walking back and forth.
The card is my entry into the challenge over on Bitten by the Bug. The challenge was to use any ice cream image from a Cricut cartridge.  I don't have many cartridges but am lucky enough to have the cartridge A Child's Year.

So this is my entry.  Thanks for stopping in...say hi!  I'd love to hear what you think.
