Challenge Me Card Swap-August

Okay..the challenge was to use 3 circles and 3 squares..it also was supposed to have one border not straight (use scallops, border punch etc which I forgot..) So I cut some squares (the matting pieces for the stamped image) then for the circles I thought the 2 brads then the circles on the embossed white piece the flowers are on..I used the cuttlebug border one (I forgot I had those)..I used some gamasol stuff for the image to just blend in the lines so you won't see them, the stamp is from Penny Black, one of the clear stamp sets with the hedgie..birthday I think...

BIA Post it note holders

I whipped these up this evening. I was in a swap before and rec'd the 2 HK cuts so I wanted to use them on these holders. I plan taking them to work with me..I think they came out okay for my first try...

Princess Paint Can Swap

Now that Jannette got her can I can post it!! LOL! I had a lot of fun making this can, I used a clear can first time ever..like it better than the regular can. I thought "fancy" when I thought of "princess" and this is what I came up with! I sure hope she liked it!

Disney ABC swap 6x6 LO

I signed up for another swap (yes I sign up for a lot of swaps..LOL) and I did B for Belle..

This was the first time I used this cart..I thought it would be easier to just color in her eyes and stuff..those pieces get very tiny...

Christmas Tag using Blue and silver

This is the last tag I had to make for a swap I am in on the cricut MB. I was to use blue and silver. I got glossy tags, used some ink and stippled it and then stamped my image and added a silver "outline"...

Today...July 18th, 2009....
