I LOVE being crafty and using SvgCuts!!!

It has been a little while since I have been crafty.. Just for myself..

While I do enjoy creating cards for my card clubs and workshops.. Sometimes, it is nice to sit and do something I WANT to do for myself...

Y'all know how much I LOVE SvgCuts and share their giveaways and new kit announcements... I can't help but share things that I LOVE and truly enjoy. So, the fact that I can combine two of my LOVES.. Close to My Heart and SvgCuts.. is such a joy...

I have been determined to make the haunted house from SvgCuts' Haunted Forest kit for quite some time. Well, yesterday I gave to myself... I did not worry about card clubs, workshops, etc... I just played with my Silhouette Cameo and CTMH papers (Scaredy Cat)...

I hope you enjoy the product of my 'playtime'.

I still have some embellishing to work on, but I just had to share. I am getting ready to make the Mansion from their 'Maple Manor' kit...

If you want to know more or shop from their HUGE selection of Svg kits... Just click the link on the 'RIGHT' side of my page. It will take you there. In all of my searching for svg files on the internet, they have the BEST files. Mary and Leo go out of their way to bring these creative files and their customer service is second to none....

LOL, I sound like an advertiser, but I can't help but share companies that truly care about what they do and what they provide....

Anywho, I hope you enjoyed my crafty project and hope you check back again. I plan to be posting the Mansion in the next week. Oh, did I mention the mansion is BIGGER that this adorable house? Much BIGGER...

Until next time...

Happy Crafting!!!

I'm Back!!!!

So, it has been a few weeks since my last post. I went on a fabulous, and much overdue cruise with my sisters!!!

We all met in New Orleans on a Saturday, Checked out Bourbon street during the 'Decadence Festival'. I will say that was an interesting experience. I should mention, we are spread ALL over this country. Me, San Antonio, Tx; then Arizona, Illinois and Washington state..

That Sunday, we boarded the Carnival Dream and headed out for our SEVEN day cruise. Hit up Isle Roatan, Honduras; Belize, where we did cave tubing and ziplining; then ported in Cozumel. We had the best time, eating, sunning, eating, watching shows, taking TONS of pictures, eating, shopping, sunning.. did I say eating?

I was positive I gained 20 pounds when I got home. Lucky me.. all that shopping and walking... I only gained .5 a pound. If I had know, I would have probable eaten more :-)

Anywho, I needed to rest after the vacation and just found it hard to get back into my groove. BUT, I am pretty sure I have found it again and ready to get this crafting train back on track.

I will be making a few posts over the next few days to share pics from the cruise, the mini album workshop, and card class that I held after getting back. I have two classes this weekend, not to mention working on the new line-up of classes and workshops for the rest of the year.

Until next time..

Happy Crafting!!!

August 23rd- Scaredy Cat Mini Album

I would LOVE to have you join in the fun!!!

I will be teaching this mini album on August 23rd, using the Close to My Heart 

Scaredy Cat' paper collection.

Isn't it just the cutest thing?!

I am not big into Halloween. BUT, I just love this paper collection!!!

Of course, you do not have to decorate as I did. You can fit up to THREE 3.5"x 5" photos, TWO 2.5"x 3.5" photos, as well as smaller ones and still have plenty of room for journaling your memories.

 It just keeps expanding!!!

 Just think of what you could with this as a Christmas album? Which I will be making plenty of :-)

I plan on making this album again, trying to get a different look. Wish me Luck!!!

If you are local, I would LOVE to have you join this workshop. Don't forget about my card classes. We always have a lot of fun!!!

Until Next Time,

 As Always!!!

Happy Crafting~
