I just finished a new video and I had hoped to have it posted today. Unfortunately, I am having trouble getting the video to upload. I will post it as soon as we resolve the problem.
Thanks for your patience and please stay tuned.

I saw a smaller stamped version of this card on-line and I decided to make one using my Cricut. Here are the abbreviated instructions.
Base Card is 7 ½ inches by 5 inches. I inked the edges using a light yellow pigment ink and rounded all corners except the upper right corner.
Next I used a 1 and 1/4 inch scallop punch to punch a bite mark out of the right corner. I then punched another bite mark out of white paper for the liner.
Cut one small 3 inch scallop circle from the Scallop Shapes SVG Collection. If you do not have the SCAL program, Storybook Cartridge has a couple of different scallop cuts, as does Mini Monograms and Sentimental.
I inked the edges using a light yellow pigment ink.
The lemon is a free SVG cut from SVG Cuts and is cut at 2 ½ inches. I used glitter paper to cut the base of the lemon. If you do not have the SCAL program, you could use the strawberry from Indie Art or the Paisley Cartridge and make a cute strawberry Popsicle. Just Because Cards has an adorable peach that would also work.
I used dimensionals to attach the lemon to the card and used a celebrate rub-on.
Lastly, I attached a popsicle stick with glue to the back of the card and tied a ribbon on the popsicle stick. The knot of the ribbon is used to hold the card shut.
Have a great week and stay tuned for an interesting new video!

I was tired of having my glitter flake off on my cards and scrapbook pages, so I decided to try making glitter paste. Now my glitter stays put and has a nice shiny finish. In addition, this paste does not curl your paper and is very easy to make.
For complete instructions, scroll down and watch the video. Enjoy and have fun making glitter paste.
I have been on a waiting list to attend The Memory Trail's scrapbook retreat; and I just found out that someone cancelled and I get to go. It starts this Thursday and ends Sunday.
Four whole days of crafting! Yahoo! Hopefully, I will be able to share some photos with all of you.
Stay tuned as we have an interesting new video coming tomorrow. It involves bling so I think you will enjoy it.
See you soon.....

I am making cards for a silent auction and thought I would share. My goal is to make cards for every season and I am almost done. Whew! This card is done in the Iris Folding style, except that I used ribbons instead of paper.

I was making a sympathy card for a friend and thought I would make a video at the same time. I loved the sentiment and tried to design a card to match the feeling.
I am currently working on a new card video that will be posted on Wednesday. It will feature the Cricut and two of my favorite cartridges.
Thanks again for visiting and have a great Tuesday!
Tags, Bags, Boxes and More is one of my favorite Cricut Cartridges. It is very versatile and I use it to create a variety of projects including the ones you see here. Cricut is discontinuing this cartridge, so if you get a chance, you may want to grab one before it is gone for good.
Have a Happy Monday!
