Cricut Thank You

Good morning again! Well today I have one of my cricut creations for you! This card was created with an SVG file that I had purchased from Mary at Mawmawslegacy...she has some really really nice card designs...this was what Mary called a quickie card...and although it was a quick one to cut out and put together it does create an awesome card. I am a very simple designer most times and don't use a lot of embellies...and although a flower might have been a nice addition to this card I really didn't want to take away from it so I left it as it was designed. The Thank You and the mat behind it was also cut with the cricut. The blue cardstock is from Papertrey...their cardstock is really nice heavy cardstock. I hope you like it...I have several more cards created just waiting for their debut so I hope you come back by to visit and see what I have been up to! Have a blessed day today...and I will be by to see you as well. Take care and thanks so much for stopping in!

HUGS!

Last of the Blog Hop Cards

Good Morning! Well ladies, today is the last of the Blog hop cards...I hop you have enjoyed my creations. I know my style is rather simple...I don't do a whole lot of embellishment...guess that is me...just a simple gal! The image I used was the flag with eagle image...colored with copics, cut out and embossed with Nesties. My background paper was some I had gotten from my friend Stef a while ago....added a few stars and done! I did use a corner punch on my background papers to try to match up with my Nestie mats. Remember yesterday I mentioned that the Stamping Boutique would be having a DT call? Well that is posted now...go here to get the deets!

Well tomorrow I will start to show my cricut creations...be sure to stop in to see them if you are interested. I would love to see you! Well, I am off and running today so have a blessed Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by to see me!

HUGS!

God Bless America

Good morning! Well today is another one of my cards for the SB Blog Hop that was on Saturday. As I had mentioned in an earlier post, the blog hop was dedicated to our men and women in uniform. This card was created using the Eagle head...all coloring and creation was done digitally. I really loved how it turned out....If you look close enough you can actually see the texture that I added to the beak and eagle's head digitally. The star I cut out on my cricut and just made each layer of it a tad bigger. The sentiment was computer generated.

Today was a rather sad day for me...I decided not to continue on my DT path at the Stamping Boutique as of May 1. There will be a new DT call for the Boutique very soon so be on the lookout for it! Tracey is awesome to work for and she takes very good care of her Design Team. I want to thank Tracey for giving me the opportunity...this was my very first DT assignment...I served two terms and I did enjoy it. I will continue to create with the SB images as they are of the best quality and design. I will also continue to create sentiments and most likely give away some freebies from time to time. Right now I am having a creative spurt with my cricut so I will contine down that path for a while. I have one more card created from the blog hop that I will post tomorrow and then I promise to get my camera out to take pics of my many cricut creations over the past few days. I can't wait for you to see them so please check back in. I hope your day is a great one today...thank you for leaving all the encouraging comments...I appreciate them more than you know. Till tomorrow!

I Pledge Allegiance

Hello again! Off to another crazy work week! I wanted to show you another card I did for the SB digi day on Saturday. This card used the Flag image that Tracey has in this series. I colored the flag with copics, used my Clear GellyRoll Stardust glitter pen on the stars. The paper I used on my background was created digitally. For my sentiment, I put the Pledge of Allegiance...cut it out with Nestabilities and added some ribbon and a couple of silver stars. I have 2 more to show you this week and then I will post some of the creations I have been making with my cricut. I was lucky enough to get a lot of cutting time in this weekend so I should be able to post cards all week this week! I feel like I am getting back into the swing of things after having such a loss of mojo for quite some time! We had a wonderful weekend...spent quality time with all 4 of our grandchildren and had dinner with our oldest son's family last night. I hope your weekend was awesome...and the upcoming week goes well for you. Thanks so much for stopping in to see me and my creations! I have even caught up with a lot of my visiting...if I have missed you, I will be by to see you soon!

Land of the Free, Because of the Brave

Hello everyone! Hope your Sunday is a gorgeous day....we had lots of rain last night but we really needed it here! I have a rose bush to get planted today if the weather cooperates. My dear friend who has cancer brought me a knock out rose bush...the roses are the mosr awesome deep pink! What a sweet heart she is...she told me it was a knock out rose for a knock out friend! I love her for that! Well, here is one of 4 cards that I created for the SB digi day...is this eagle awesome or what? Tracey did a knock out job on these images. I found a mountain scene that I put into photoshop and added the eagle...with the American Flag blended into his head....I love how this card turned out. I created the sentiment myself. I hope you like my creation. Have a blessed Sunday! I will be by to visit all of you today...thanks so much for coming to see me!

HUGS,

Vicki
