halloween cards

Here is another card that I have been working on with the same kind of layout/sketch as the harvest card. I bought some gel pens to use with my cricut some time ago but when I first tried using them was not very pleased with the results. Decided to try using them again so that I could cut a black cat for this card. Starting to think of other ideas to use them now.

harvest cards

Lately when I feel like I should be working on something but can't get motivated I have been making cards. When I started paper crafting I went right into scrapbooking. Never really thought I would get into card making but lately I have become more interested in to. I think it is because you can see the end result much faster.

Have been busy helping my girlfriend with her daughter's baby shower coming up very soon. I made over 40 personalized invitations and starting on a diaper wreath, diaper cake and personalized guest book.

The Cinch - We R Memory Keepers

My mother-in-law got me the The Cinch binding machine by We R Memory Keepers. I have had the Bind-It-All by Zutter for a couple of years and I have to say that the Cinch has pushed the Bind-It-All to the side for now. I like the way The Cinch punches round holes instead of the rectangular holes that the Bind-It-All does. I like the way you can lay the project flat to punch the holes on The Cinch as compared to standing it up in the Bind-It-All. I like the way that you can start to stack your papers on the o-wires on the side of the The Cinch after you have punched them.

As soon as I complete some projects I will start to share pictures.

Zutter Distrezz It All

Well I got another gadget that I couldn't resist...the Distrezz It All by Zutter. I just opened the box last night and started to play with it just a bit but haven't done a complete project yet. Will post more soon (I hope).

i-top brad maker by imaginisce

This is my newest toy and so far I am having fun with it. I have been watching this on the internet for sometime basically because my local Michaels and Joanns weren't carrying it in their store. Much to my surprise I was in Michaels last week and there it was. Always taking advantage of my coupons I bought the i-top brad maker for 40% off and then went back every day on my lunch and after work and bought as many accessories as were available that I wanted. Funny, they only had the small punch but didnt have the medium and large punches yet were also carrying all three size of the brad daddies. I bought the medium and large punch online along with the carrying case.

Don't waste your money if you think the carrying case is large enough to hold the i-top, punches and brad daddies because it won't.

I just got the carrying case and medium and large punch today in the mail so only have had a chance to play with the small brad daddies but will probably start with the others very soon. I have a ton of albums that I have to make for baby showers, birthdays, etc. Will be sharing more projects with you soon.
