These are some treats I made for our church's Easter egg hunt, and my daughters school, and my sons daycare. I have made over 70+ because I made bigger ones for my nieces and nephews. I didn't take a picture of those because I haven't stuffed them. The bunny one is on the Cricut Easter 2010 cartridge, for the cross I changed it out with design studio and the cross is from Design Calendar. Enjoy.

VBS Poster for church

2010-02-28T13:19:00.000-08:00

I did this entire poster from the cricut cart Old West. A few people in our church would like the church to purchase a cricut for VBS, sunday school, bulltien boards and other stuff. So I did this poster to help show what the cricut can do. Our VBS title this year is SAddle Ridge Ranch. I wish I could have done more for them, but I have a terrible sinus cold right now and the watery eyes and sniffles was getting the better of me yesterday while I was working on it. TFL ~Heather

SCrapbook cabinet

2009-12-31T13:22:00.000-08:00

I have been so busy with school, but I do have 3 A's and 1 B so the painfulness away from the blog, cricut board and scrappin has paid off. I still have 2 more quarters to do before I am done. We started cleaning the estate, the cabinet above is my grandmas craft cabinet and I asked after it was empty could I take it home and my mom and aunt said yes. So I get a scrappin cabinet to fill before back to the grind stone of school.

a quick post

2009-10-27T13:25:00.000-07:00

hello everyone I didn't fall of the face of the earth, yet! I have been really busy in medical assisting school. I will say so farrrr my grades have been very decent and I think I may get to scrapbook this weekend as my reward.

Another sad Story.

2009-09-24T08:21:00.000-07:00

Well I am posting to let everyone know where I have been and why I havent been creative. MY last post in july was the death of my grandpa he was killed in a tractor accident. Since then my grandmother became ill and our family has been busy taking care of her and things. Grandma was took to be Jesus Tuesday. Her funeral is tommorrow. They died 2 months apart and almost to the same hour. They truly were connected. They had 55 years together. Pic on the left is about the time they got married and the right is at their 50th anniversary party almost 6 years ago. May they rest in peace.

I promise to be back soon... I have invitations for DS bday party and I can't wait to show u, as soon as I can. Have a great weekend . God Bless.

Thank to Robyn at mypinkstamper.com I decided I would also use something I haven't used in a while. So I dusted off the chipboard and made some very bright cards. All the paper is DCWV cardstock with 2009 spring glitter stack and butterflies and blossoms stack. I also had the matching chipboard for both design stacks so I was using up my chipboard and my stacks.

Georgia Aquarium in front of Deepo the fish

At the Zoo Atlanta.

WE had a really good time. I am going to be honest the georgia aquarium is not all that it's hyped up to be for the ticket prices you should be able to look at things with out 50 people trying to look at the same 2 1/2 feet hole in the wall that you want to look at (this was in the rainforest area) . Now the area with the sharks was cool. I hate getting ran over with strollers and people that stop in the middle of the path and talk on their phone....but it was fun to have family time and I have really enjoyed having my hubby off for a week. So this has been a fun trip and I can't wait to scrap it. So I hope to be back crafting after he returns to work, since we are trying to make the most of his time off. WE are planning a trip to the Creative Discovery in a couple of weeks so we are looking foward to that. Have a blessed weekend ~Heather.
