This morning before things started getting crazy with going to the grocery store, laundry, cooking, and cleaning, I had a chance to play with my crafts. I think I do some of my best work in the morning before anyone else gets up. Today I decided to make some Halloween cards. I had some Halloween ribbons laying around that wanted to be used. I can't believe that I actually made 14 cards before 9:30. I'm telling you the cricut design studio software has saved me a ton of time. So here's what you've all been waiting for: A Ghoul Time....That was bad...sorry I think my hubby's cheesy jokes are rubbing off on me. My favorite one is the 2nd one...I love how the ghost is in the doorway of the haunted house. I'm going to make a page in the card store with the rest of them. Enjoy the cards and take some time to make something for yourself today.
Have you ever noticed that they are putting up Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas stuff up earlier and earlier each year. You'd think they were all in the same month. It's really weird going into Michael's and you go down one aisle with a bunch of goblins and ghouls, and the next aisle you go up has santa claus, reindeer, and angels. It seems kinda odd to me that pumpkins, scarecrows, and turkeys are thrown into the mix. I guess that what makes the end of the year seem to fly by. Or maybe it just seems so hectic because of all the parties, celebrations and gatherings we go to at this time of year. Sometimes it is nice just to have a slow weekend where you can relax and just enjoy life, your home, and being with your family. I think that's why I like to scrapbook, it helps me to slow down when the world around me is spinning out of control. The hum of the Cricut has a calming effect and I just love coming back to create something new.

So last week was my first week back to work. It's a new job for me. It has been really good. The only bad thing is that is eating up all my time to make the crafts that I want to make. But that's ok, making my crafts is more relaxing than anything anyways.
This morning I finished up some cards, made a couple of new designs with my cricut design studio software---I think you are really going to like them....hopefully I can post them in a couple of days. I was proud of myself for kinda straightening up my craft room. That is an accomplishment in and of itself. I also added a few more links to the store. I'm almost done uploading all the pictures of the scrapbook pages in the store and I still have a long way to go on all the cards. These are the cards I made in the morning---not my best work, but I just got tired of all the pieces sitting around so I threw them all together mostly to get them out of the way. Enjoy. I just finished cleaning up all the dead ants that invaded my house yesterday. There were all these litlle ant-i-bodies all over the place---I know that was cheesey, but I had to get it in there.
Well last night I went on the Cricut website. I happened to stumble upon a challenge page. They challenged people to make 15-30-50 blank cards which would be sent to military members, so they could write home to their loved ones. They wanted Halloween, Fall, B-day, thinking of you cards, etc. It could be anything you wanted to make, but you ship it to wherever they designate. I thought this was pretty cool, so I signed up to make 15 cards. That was realistic for me since I am starting back to school. So last night I started working on them, and I was able to crank out 6 cards before I got tired and fell asleep. I surprised myself. I might end up making more afterall. So here are the cards I made last night. Let me know if you like them or if you would like more information to participate in this challenge. I think it ends in 4 weeks. |
