Winnie the Pooh and Cricut too!

I am seriously a huge Winnie the Pooh fan. My adoration of the Tubby little Cubby goes way way back. My very first recollection of the Willy nilly silly old bear was a trip to a Sears store when I was not quite old enough to stay with my Grandma like my brother and sister. As consolation my parents took me there to see Winnie the Pooh and all the gang. I remember them even buying me some Winnie the Pooh Pajama's the kind where the shirt and pants snapped together. Any who back to the reason for this post. I am frequent lurker on the Cricut.com message board and stumbled upon these two new cartridges for the Cricut that will be available in April.


It's exciting cause on this one not only did they include the usual gang they have also included the Heffalump.... what's next the woozels?

They have also made a font cartridge that includes cute little baby Pooh and friends. These are both a must have for my Cricut collection. Now if I can just find where Jared hid the credit card I can get my pre order in?

It's raining it's flooding

We have gotten a lot of snow during the 1st part of February then it started to warm up and yesterday we got a ton of rain. Those two combined have cause a lot of flooding to occur. It's pretty bad out here and our yard has not been landscaped so it's a muddy mess. Jared is enjoying driving around looking for large puddles to run his truck through.

That guy that sold me the car told me it had a built in Pontoon. Me thinks he was wrong.

Valentine... you make my heart pop!

So I know that Valentines Day is behind us and all thoughts should be about Leprechauns and Shamrocks, but I did want to share a cute card that made for Valentine's Day that I could not share before because it would have spoiled the surprise. I got the idea for the card out of a Stamping magazine called Just cards (http://scottpublications.com/jcmag/) great magazine for inspiration and they have several different issues. This one just happened to have a section on pop up cards. The one they showed they used Shamrocks instead of hearts so you could basically make it for any occasion. I chose Valentine's Day.


I started by cutting two square pieces of paper from different color. Lay one square on top of the other and rotated a bit so there were 8 points and then glued together. Cut out 8 hearts and glued them to the points.


The folded in all the points in toward the middle of the card.

Tie with a ribbon and there you go. Put it in a envelope and it's ready to give. When the recipient unties the ribbon the card pops open.

The 3 Bears

Just a cute an easy treat I made for the kids for Valentines day. I got the entire template from my favorite website. http://www.pccrafter.com/. The have awesome artists that create the best things and most important these were very east to put together. The candy bars used were Nestle Crunch and then I printed the bear wrapper cut it out and glued it around the candy bar! The kids love them (of course not many kids hate CHOCOLATE)

Make a wish!

Cheyenne Turned 11th on the 10th of this month. So we got together at her house for Dinner and to have cake and ice cream. Cheyenne was a little worried some one else was going to blow out her candles so she had to protect them.

Happy Birthday Cheyenne!

Monkey bag!

No birthday can be complete without presents and a matching gift bag is the perfect way to give it! The matching set

A tale of 2 scissors

I lead a very uninteresting life but I have blog now and I needed to find something to post on it so here is my story....
The other day as I was unpacking boxes in my craft room I stumbled upon on pair of scissors that I thought I had lost months ago. It drove me crazy when after weeks of searching I could not find them, so I just decided to replace them. I hit every craft store in Utah county and a few in Salt Lake as well with no luck. I turnd to the Internet to help me with my search. At last I was succesful! I ordered them, and received them and very happily went about my crafting. Okay you say.. they are JUST scissors and nearly every store carries scissors. However these are not just scissors, These are green titanium cutter bee scissor
My favorite scissors to be exact.

Now cutter bee as these scissors in multitudes of colors



but I had come to love this pair of green scissors. Anyway back to the story. I was unpacking some boxes in my craft room and I knew those scissors were safe in their spot in my scissor organizer. That was one of the first things I had madesure of. Well I dumped a box of stuff on the table and noticed them right away sitting there. I went over to the scissor organizer and lo and behold there were the other pair sitting there safely as well. Now I had long thought the original pair had been pushed off the table into the garbage can and therefore gone forever. I have no idea where they have been for the last some odd months but was very happy to be reunited with them. Now there are 2 pairs of Green Titanium Cutter Bee scissors for me to love and craft with!
