This layout isn't complete. It still needs a little embellishing and around the letters cleaned up with the gum eraser but I wanted to put up a picture of my first cut on the silhouette. The red swirls are so thin it is amazing. It did take me a few tries to get it right cause I just play and go and read minimal directions. LOL The cut was from the silhouette store for 99 cents. I need to learn the features. I know how I will be spending my weekend now.
I made 6 of these last night. I think sweet treats font and mostly papertrey ink paper. Swiss dots cuddlebug. I also picked 4 birthday cards from my stash. I am donating all of them for a raffle at work. We raffle off things every Wednesday to help raise money for an outdoor space we want to create to honor our dear friend Linda that was killed by a drunk driver. 
So lucked out yesterday in NYC that we had no rain. (apparently we had rain at home) Busy day of workshops and a fun dinner in midtown with teacher friends. Isn't this tree pretty. It was in Riverside park which is right next to all the Columbia University buildings. 
This is my son's birthday card from me. I used the Imagine Yummy cartridge. The inside you see here is popped up but had more stuff added unique to him that are private that's why not a finished project picture on that. 
Here is the 2nd page of my 2-page xmas layout I made last Wednesday and Thursday. 
I worked on this layout Wednesday and Thursday night. It has a another page I will post tomorrow. The papers are mostly from a My Minds Eye Holiday stack I got at CKC last summer. I used simply sweet for the font, the red border from ribbons and rosettes and the green vine border was from I think Winter Frolic. I have to tell you love the way the colors worked on this one. :-)
My son really liked the cards that I made a few weeks back using this design so I made another one with his favorite colors brown and blue for my mom to give him for his birthday. I think the pattern paper is a creative memories and the stamp and frame are papertrey ink. 
I made this as a place to save my handmade cards I can't part with. I punch a hole in the corner of the card and add it between the covers. I actually have a bigger ring on it now that I went and got some at staples. I just played around with this... inking ,using a gold glimmer mist to the paper and adding some glossy accents here and there. I think I cut the title from the Don Juan cart. I also added the flower eyelet to give the hole where the ring goes through nice finished look. The paper is from my stack.
I was inspired to make this card after seeing something similar on Pink By Design by one of her design team. I used Martha Stewart paper, some stickers, MCT stamp set and MCT flower and stitched circle die set.
I made these Joy cards last week when I was sick. I have to tell ya that I took the picture and thought... missing something. ( see picture with and without stickles) So I went back and played with adding stickles to the red, tried some crystal on the white dots and decided to just go with the red stickles. Just that little was enough. I think I made 8 of these.... I believe the cut was from the winter woodland cart. 
Super simple Halloween layout. The paper is from K& Company... I can't remember the cart the ghost came from because I searched it on my gypsy and sometimes when I do that I look at the images and don't think about the cart its is coming from. Fun glitter paper for the ghost and I popped him up to give some dimension. I added stickles to the Happy Halloween also. 
Last spring my friend Linda and I cut and assembled a whole bunch of these table centerpieces for a retirement party. We used the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge. Linda really did all the arranging. Well we are having a teacher of the year breakfast at work to honor our special teacher the end of this month. They asked me to make some kind of corsage using creams and maroon. I took a little liberty with the colors. I used the Flower Shoppe cart my kids got me for Christmas. I sprayed the flowers with opal glimmer mist. Here is what I know. I am not an arranger and it was bringing back memories of Linda that made me sad now that she is gone so I called on a fellow co-worker. Her daughter is a florist so I am turning all the flowers over to her to whip up into something beautiful. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I will post pictures of the finished project. This was my Sunday night project after having slept all day trying to make my sick self feel better.
I again used a My Creative Time with Emma stamp, spellbinders nestabilies die, copics, and some bling. The pattern paper I had from a huge year long stack that is several years old that I tore apart and filed by season so have no clue who it is by.. BTW that is what I do with stacks that are more that one season. I tear them apart. All my pattern paper that is seasonal are filed in a box by season. Some boxes are even sub-divided.. Like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. So easy to grab a box for a holiday and all the papers are right there. 
I used a My Creative Time with Emma stamp, copies, stickler, spellbinders nestabilities die, swiss dots embossing folder and some bling. 
I used My Creative Time with Emma stamps, copics, spellbinders die, swiss dots embossing and papertrey ink ribbons.
I saw something like this a few weeks ago on Pinterest. I had the hardest time finding the right foam ring to make it. It's to hang on my classroom door this spring.
