Valentine's Day Snow Globe Card

This is a card that I made using the Cricut cartridge Doodlecharm in Design Studio. I think if I make one again I will use more 3-D items, the flat items tend to stick in the layers.

New Years Resolution Week #2

This is week #2 of my New Year's Resolution 2010. Sorry I am a day late I was out for 2 days ill. For the scrapbook page I made a Valentine's Day Layout. I'm going to use it for this year. My DH always takes me out to dinner and I will take the pics then. On this layout it is titled "You Complete Me" I made the two dolls with Everyday Day paper dolls then used the Cuttlebug Diecut of puzzle pieces to cut them up. I put them back together leaving a little space to show the puzzle pieces. The font I used was Base Camp, and the hearts were cut from Sweet Treats. On the card I made the cupcake and hearts from Sweet Treats. I stamped the You're Sweet and used white ink to write on the hearts. I also used ribbon on both that says Happy Valentine's Day. Well off I go to think of something for this week. Thanks for following.

New Years Resolution Week #1

For my New Years Resolution for 2010 I want to make 52 Cards and 52 Layouts. That would be 1 each per week. This is Week #1. I made a Valentine's Day Card and made an additional 2 page layout for our Sister's Weekend this past Nov. 2009. I think this is the first resolution that I have made in a very long time, and I think that it is doable. I am already working on plans for Week #2.
