Pretzel Anyone?

Hello Everyone,

Thanks again for looking in.  This week at MAG we are to use the From The Kitchen Cartridge (page 53).   Once again you are to dig deep within your creativity and whip up a project to link to the blog so that we can visit you and see what you've done.

I don't know about you, but I just love those large pretzels.  When I saw this pretzel  on the page I just knew that I had to do something with this image.    Comments are welcome.  Enjoy and GOD Bless.

Reuse, Re-purpose, Recycle Challenge

Hello Everyone!

I just want to say welcome to all the new followers and to thank you for stopping by.  I am entering this Reuse, Repurpose, and Recylce item into the Cricut Circle Challenge.

This is my first attempt.  Once upon a time this index card holder used to hold my notes and home work assignments for school.  Yeah, I was the organized one (lol).  Since I am not in school anymore I decided to re-purpose the index card holder and make it into a recipe box.  I took the flowers off of another project that I was throwing away (Recycle) and Reused them on this project.  I also used lot of scraps for this project as well.  I even retyped all the recipes in this box with the hopes of laminating them.  Hope you enjoy.  Comments are welcome.  GOD Bless

It's all about Spring or Easter!

Hello Everyone,
I want to tell you that I am starting my first mini album (something new for me).  I am not into the distressing inks (Even though I have seen many amazing projects with them) or the shabby chic look.  Anyway here is the first page of the four seasons mini.

Over at Celebrate the Occasion we were challenged to prepare a project that represents either Easter or Spring with one stipulation***You must use a punch***.  I am looking forward to Spring;  I can hardly wait for warmer weather.  So be sure to link your project up this week at CTO.  We would love to see what is your interpretation.  Comments are welcome.  Enjoy and as always GOD Bless!

MAG Challenge 20

Hello Everyone,

It is time for another challenge at MAG.  Oh my, and it is a hard one.   You are to use only the cuts on page 33 of the CARS manual.  I did not want to make the car because there are so many little pieces to handle and this week I wasn't brave enough to tackle it.  Instead I saw flowers when I saw the tires.  So I cut the tires and rounded the edges  to make the flowers.  What do you think?  So please join us at MAG for a real challenge!  What can you do with one page.   Comments are welcome.  Enjoy and GOD Bless.
