waiting on my new toy

Hey everyone!
I just joined the cricut imagine-nation! I just ordered my machine last night! I am so excited. I couldn't really afford it before, so I had resigned myself to not even thinking about it, I even would refuse to look at other people's blogs about it because it just made me jealous. But then for craft month (so provocraft says, I wonder if they are about to come out with a new version) they discounted the price to $299. I was over the moon! That's still a little pricey for me, but it was finally do-able. I can't wait to receive it!
Now, I'll have to figure out the space problem, my table is not that big and I guess I'll have to get rid of my expression :( Although I can't bring myself to get rid of my baby bug, which is a little backwards huh?? But anyway, onward and upwards right? LOL
Besides, I keep the baby bug packed up in its little carring bag for the next crop party (which I've only been to one, but a girl can dream huh?), but that's my excuse for keeping my baby bug, and I know it's just my imagination, but I could swear that it cuts better than my expression, less errors.
Anyway...I'm so excited and I just can't hide it...LOL! By the way... could someone send me a link of someone doing a video on how to use the snapshot cartridges? Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I haven't posted anything since Oct 2010, I quess I fell off the blogger wagon :) I was half afraid my password wouldn't work or something. But anyway, I've been experimenting with some Tim Holtz grunge like stuff. It's probably not dark or goth enough to truely be called grunge. I like it but I would love some feedback. Anybody still out there? LOL

Great giveaway

Great giveaway over at The Latte Lounge . I don't think I've ever seen anyone giveaway copic markers!

Color Challenge

I made this card for the Pink stamper color challenge, but she asked us to do it in 30 mins. I totally did not do that in time! It took me 10 mins to pick out paper! Also, although I didn't use the Breast cancer awareness symbol, I definitely had that in mind. My BFF is a breast cancer survivor but she doesn't like to talk about it much. I made this card with her in mind but I am still debating whether or not to send it to her. I thought I would use it as a "thinking of you" card with Breast cancer awareness undertones. What do you think?

witchy frog

Ok so I was trying to think of an idea to enter Emma's challenge about animals. I wasn't going to do another Halloween card but I wasn't coming up with any ideas and then I saw my stamps from Scrappy Moms about broom parking and I liked the idea of what if someone didn't heed the advice and got turned into a toad? I don't know if all of that came across( probably not) but that was the idea anyway. Also there was another challenge to use black or orange, but not both. I'm probably too late for that one, but I tried anyway.

something cute

I had this card in my gypsy for a couple of weeks now and then I saw the challenge(at pink stamper) to make something cute. I hope it fits that description. I wanted the nice smile that you see first to be misleadingly cute and then open it up for a little scarier surprise. I hope it achieved that.
