Happy New Year!

Logan destroying Ashlyn's gingerbread disaster.

Yumm, sugar!

Sharing with his sister, isnt he the sweetest?

Hello everyone

Hope you all had a great holiday this year. Here are some updates on our family. The kids had a great time opening all their presents this year, although logan was much more interested in what was inside the package rather than opening it. He got lots of new trucks, a kitchen and some new pieces for his Thomas set. Ashlyn got new games for her wii and xbox as well as a bunch of new clothes. she is getting harder and harder to shop for as she gets older. My DH got my 4 new cartridges for my cricut, Pagoda, Paisley, my world and from my kitchen. Unfortunately he hid the pagoda cart so well that he cannot find it! I also won some money on scratch tickets that i got so i ordered the new Heritage and Sentimentals carts from memorymiser.com and am eagerly awaiting their arrival. We got to see my mom for a couple of hours on xmas day which was very nice, although she still was not at 100%, she enjoyed seeing the kids. As usual our christmas involves alot of jumping around from place to place, we have about 4 xmas's to celebrate every year and it can get a little overwhelming at times, but it was great to see my family.

Lots of birthdays coming up in the next couple of months, ashlyn turns 13 in a week, i cant believe she is going to be a teenager, where does the time go. Logan will be two in February and both my mom and dads birthdays are in january and february as well.

I have a few projects i am working on currently, though no pictures to post yet. I have a secret surprise for my daughter's birthday and also some "vintage" looking valentines that I will be looking to sell on ETSY when they are done.

Christmas Glitter ornaments with embossing.

Here are some pictures of the christmas ornaments i made for my family this year. I got the idea off of Joy's blog, through christmas with the cricut. Thank you joy you are awesome! For instructions on how to make the glittered insides refer to joys blog by clicking the link on the right of the page for "obsessed with scrapbooking" I think you can get it off of the "christmas with the cricut" blog also. For the outside of these ornaments I used the negative image cut from the cricut as a stencil. I applied versamark pad directly to the image and sprinkled on embossing powder. I then peeled off the stencil (very important to do before embossing) and applied the heat gun to the image. I think the results are beautiful and will make great gifts for my family this year. thanks for looking, have a great day.

DCWV music stack

Hello again

Here are some shots of the new DCWV music stack. Really beautiful papers. As soon as i saw this stack I started thinking of all the things i could make using the Hannah Montana cartridge with it. I'll post my creations later.
