Also here are pics of the supplies I used. (The 2nd pic is the inside of the card). The base I already had from the last card I made (lawn fawn 4x6 stitched journal die).

Here is the front and back of my Father's Day card I made for my daddy. The last two pictures are some of the supplies I used. The stencil (<a href="http://www.loriwhitlock.com/shop/" target="_blank">lori whitlock</a>), sentiment (<a href="http://www.creativetimeforme.com/" target="_blank">mycreativetime</a>) and brads (hobby lobby) (that I hope look like nails, I used them on the inside of the card). The first pictures show detail that the <a href="http://diemonddies.com/wordpress/" target="_blank">Diemond Dies</a> made possible. I love that it cuts out little circles that look like screws. I have a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20CLpA4BKNQ" target="_blank">youtube</a> video showing this card but the lighting is pretty bad. At least with these pictures you can see what I was referring to on the video.<br />

I never used to do anything with the kits so I quit the subscription. They were okay but I just never thought they were a good value until this one kit that I got that showed you how to make bags. I thought that was really cute (but I quit the subscription anyway). <div>So anyway, I have two cousins that just graduated. One of them from high school and the other from A junior college. So I finally used one of my kits! </div><div>Of course there's always the project looked better in my mind and then on the actual bags, but all in all they were okay. So anyway I thought I'd share them. (That's of course if anybody is still following me...I haven't posted anything in over year)</div><div>Anyway I'd love to know if anyone is still out there! </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lImX38xpzgY/U4MxYsDxatI/AAAAAAAAAoU/qouBBgCcJzY/s640/blogger-image-158599410.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lImX38xpzgY/U4MxYsDxatI/AAAAAAAAAoU/qouBBgCcJzY/s640/blogger-image-158599410.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Ph93E2oC4q4/U4MxX7cBT5I/AAAAAAAAAoM/G2gjWoorabk/s640/blogger-image--1143103351.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Ph93E2oC4q4/U4MxX7cBT5I/AAAAAAAAAoM/G2gjWoorabk/s640/blogger-image--1143103351.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VL6wcxwc2Tw/U4MxVzn0g-I/AAAAAAAAAn8/KkiOyZr9vpc/s640/blogger-image--1849177297.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VL6wcxwc2Tw/U4MxVzn0g-I/AAAAAAAAAn8/KkiOyZr9vpc/s640/blogger-image--1849177297.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-8Dl4WN5oaoU/U4MxW8XrS5I/AAAAAAAAAoE/zMlMohUQzzU/s640/blogger-image-579405559.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-8Dl4WN5oaoU/U4MxW8XrS5I/AAAAAAAAAoE/zMlMohUQzzU/s640/blogger-image-579405559.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-LEXU8oa8WlI/U4MxVPsoZjI/AAAAAAAAAn0/Oop_Ex0PP1A/s640/blogger-image-1609877880.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-LEXU8oa8WlI/U4MxVPsoZjI/AAAAAAAAAn0/Oop_Ex0PP1A/s640/blogger-image-1609877880.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>So the first two pictures are the front and back of the bag for the high school graduate.

I hardly ever do any crafting anymore. I still however buy craft supplies but when I do do a little crafting I sometimes will take a picture of what I've done but don't post it or sometimes I don't even take a picture of my project because I'm not satisfied with what I've done. <div>But like I said previously sometimes I just don't even have the motivation to do any crafting I still watch YouTube videos try to get ideas. That is until I started doing the project life now I'm excited again. I have a project that I'm working on but of course I'm not happy with it but I have vowed (to myself) to just post it anyway but I'm not done with it. </div><div>But here are a couple of tags and some goodies that I did do about a couple of weeks ago for teachers appreciation week. These are for my science teacher and his tutor.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-kTznjA1h8kM/U4MsKZl7vGI/AAAAAAAAAnk/SpsrwhZFKdA/s640/blogger-image-767463003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-kTznjA1h8kM/U4MsKZl7vGI/AAAAAAAAAnk/SpsrwhZFKdA/s640/blogger-image-767463003.jpg"></a></div>I know you can't tell from this photo but on the tags there is a little arrow kind of tag that has a bunch of embossed words that says thanks a bunch of times. I love those Tag dies one is from Stampin' Up! the chalk talk tag die and the other one is from "my creative time", they are my go to take dies. And then the sentiment says "I can't thank you enough" I thought that was kind of cheeky.</div><div>And then the little nuggets candies those are Stampin' Up! stamps from "it's a wrap".</div>Ulysses' mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01408490496562985234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711014970786835939.post-14069487849098849242012-08-20T16:19:00.001-07:002012-08-21T10:20:55.414-07:00Treats 4 my sweet boyI hid this is my son's lunch box for a surprise snack from mommie!

I turned on my cricut....but nothing jumped out at me, so then I picked some paper I thought was cute (my mind's eye "everyday flair") and then searched for a sentiment and then came across my stamp set and die from <b style="font-style: italic;">my creative time with Emma</b> and<i><b> Peachy Keen Stamps</b></i> and I came up with this card. I actually bought Tim Holtz Vagabond recently and did actually use it for the tags but was disappointed to learn that I needed attachments to use Emma's dies with the Vagabond. Which buying the Vagabond while I already had a Cuttlebug is a whole 'nother discussion. (LOL) Hey...it was on sale ...okay??<br />
Anyway, I made the card to enter in <a href="http://cardztv.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mary's</a> and <a href="http://peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Peachy Keens</a> challenges.<br />

I liked the way it came out. I don't know if you can tell, but it's in the shape of a baby bottle. The one with the peachy keen face is side "a" and the onsie is side "b".  The pregnant lady only has one side.</p>

I used <a href="http://www.creativetimeforme.com/" target="_blank">Emma's</a> stamps and dies and the button die is from<a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/" target="_blank"> PaperTreyInk</a>.<br />

I started out with a totally different plan. I was going to use the father's day card with the tie on cricut craft room but it wouldn't cut. I don't know what the problem was. I wonder if anyone else is having trouble?<br />Ulysses' mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01408490496562985234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711014970786835939.post-3539099279256976032012-06-11T03:02:00.001-07:002012-06-13T22:54:52.274-07:00treat bagsWell, I have been MIA on the scrapbooking front, just got into a funk ya' know? But since my child was turning 5, I had to snap out of it. LOL, so here are some treat bags I made for his party. I was surprised how long it took me to make them. But, even though I was satisfied with how they came out, I thought it seemed cuter in my mind. :)<br />
ps. the base shape was made using Emma's die cut and the sentiments were made using <a href="http://www.creativetimeforme.com/2012/06/throwback-thursday-color-challenge.html">Emma's</a> stamps sets. The circles were made on my cricut imagine (the preprogrammed cuts the machine comes with) and the party hat was an imagine cart as well (I don't remember which one).<br />

I decided to try it. It's funny that the card that I had in mind is nowhere near the card I ended up with. Before I chose a cartridge, I had in mind that I was going to make a fun, cheerful Halloween card. I even pulled out my Halloween sentiments and Emma's banner stamps(I was going to use the banner to spell the word "Boo")! Yet, when I went to cricut.com to figure out which cartridge I was going to use, I looked on the old west cartridge and saw this lantern then completelychanged my mind. Lanterns remind me of spiritual themes (my daddy's a minister, I guess that's why), so I came up with the idea to use that image as a spiritual/inspirational card (that's what I was aiming for anyway).<div><br /><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The little flame is from straight from the nest cartridge and I lucked out because I didn't even have to size it, it automatically came out the perfect size!</div><div>I ended up doing two cards because I couldn't figure out if a white mat (my original card) wouldbe better than a gray mat (that card I think of as my masculine card for some reason). But since I was using Emma's 3in card base, I had plenty of scraps left over to make two cards.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I LOVE these stamps! I used 5 different stamp/die sets from Emma and they all can be interchanged!

I really liked this little worm from April showers cartridge and wanted to do something other than make him a book worm or coming out of an apple. Then I remembered this challenge and this idea came to me. It was cuter in my mind than it is in real life, but I still like how it came out. The log stamp is from MSS and the sentiment I made on my computer says: sending you a "tree-mendous" Thank You. The die and stamp surrounding the sentiment is from <a href="http://www.creativetimeforme.com/">Emma</a>.<div><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b7FjJH28FBM/ToOq_MJgzVI/AAAAAAAAAVA/7AseK9gLpTk/s320/IMG_5636%255B1%255D" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657553559477079378" /><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HI20s6rRw2I/ToOq-zGVa6I/AAAAAAAAAU4/CFselzPtCrI/s320/IMG_5637%255B1%255D" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657553552752864162" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Km2RUhGXkKw/ToOq_eAkCZI/AAAAAAAAAVI/C9TwSKW82cQ/s320/IMG_5632%255B1%255D" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657553564271380882" /></div>Ulysses' mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01408490496562985234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711014970786835939.post-90216391005968367132011-09-25T23:31:00.001-07:002011-09-25T23:31:25.831-07:00Impulse buying at HSNI just did a bad, dumb thing! I have a cricut expression and a cricut imagine but I felt the need to order the new expression 2! I justified it saying to myself that it comes with 2 cartridges u can't get otherwise and that I'll sell my other expression on eBay. I hope I follow through with that because I do not need 3 machines! I know what made me do it, it was the fact that there was only 22 hours left to order it and the 5 flex payments! Man those people are smart! So I am feeling excitement and remorse!

When I see the challenge on peachy keen stamps and I immediately thought of this bug. I was originally going to have him sitting on the beach but then I saw that leaf and thought that a tiny bug might see a leaf floating on the water as a raft. The sentiment from market street stamps (framed perfectly by Emma's die cut and stamp) was just made for that scene (I think so anyway)! <br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator"><a style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em" href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZqGWEzHiqXI/TnlvqunQrcI/AAAAAAAAAUs/JiqVlL3_Dbs/s640/blogger-image-669266806.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img style="WIDTH: 495px; HEIGHT: 443px" border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZqGWEzHiqXI/TnlvqunQrcI/AAAAAAAAAUs/JiqVlL3_Dbs/s640/blogger-image-669266806.jpg" width="543" height="479" /></a></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator"><a style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em" href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-g4DUI7Tsjgc/Tnlvqx-wuXI/AAAAAAAAAUw/qHjHR1jAJ7s/s640/blogger-image--2094372816.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img style="WIDTH: 489px; HEIGHT: 446px" border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-g4DUI7Tsjgc/Tnlvqx-wuXI/AAAAAAAAAUw/qHjHR1jAJ7s/s640/blogger-image--2094372816.jpg" width="549" height="456" /></a></div>Ulysses' mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01408490496562985234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711014970786835939.post-74265942578969034672011-09-14T10:34:00.000-07:002011-09-14T10:50:27.578-07:00My first Youtube uploadI fiqured out a storage idea for some of my Imagine carts and I thought I might share them so I did a video and uploaded it on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ulyssesmama">Youtube</a>.
