Trying again......

This past year (yep again) has gone by so fast and with so many changes and challenges. Watching my granddaughter grow so fast, my oldest son receive his masters degree (in math no less) and my youngest fly the nest and move to another province. Getting used to a house with just the hubby and I. How does the time go by so fast? I've decided to try opening my Etsy store again with the encouragement of my daughter in law. So will try again and see if I have more success. It was about 4 years ago the last time and I'm learning some new things too. So...we shall try again.  I'm sharing pictures of my first batch of cards that I have posted. Enjoy and here's to a new year!

Time flies.......Again!

How is it that I have every intention of posting things and then life gets so busy?!  Since the last time I posted I am now a grandmother of a beautiful little girl named Claire.  I can't believe that it's been more than a year since I lasted posted. I will again try and start posting some things again.  If there is anyone, besides myself, who follows my blog, thanks for hanging in and I'll try and post some more again.

Challenge #3 on the Fantabulous Cricut challenge blog.  To use a Cricut cut or image that you have never used before.well, here is my entry.  I used the Old West cartridge for the horseshoes.  It's amazing when you look deeper into the options of a cartridge how many options you can find.

I'm pretty excited.  I checked the Wednesday winner on the new challenge site that I found where I have entered a couple of entries.  I didn't win, but I was one of the top 5!  It's the card with the bird on it that was one of the top 5.  I won't know about the other card until next Wednesday, but I still think it's cool to be named as one of the top five.

Well, again the new blog I found has another sketch challenge.  There is one every Monday so when I can I'm going to do it.  This weeks challenge is to take a specific layout and make it my own.  Of course I need to use my Cricut to make part of the design.  I used my Art Philosophy cartridge for this challenge.  Here is my entry:

I found a website that has card challenges and such for people with a Cricut machine.  This site is called Fantabulous Cricut challenge blog.  The website if you are interested is fantabulouscricut.blogspot.ca.  I decided to try out the Challenge Me Monday challenge, and here is my entry.  I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to make the bird as well as the large flower.  The challenge was to make a card or layout using a bird in the design.

I was asked to do some wedding invitations for a wedding for a bride who is getting married in July.  I did up a bunch of designs and the bride actually wanted 3 of them.  So I did up an even number of them all.  Here they are:
