Elzybell Valentine Project

Good Morning Everyone!
After fiddling around on my blog, I think everything is back to normal....and thank goodness for that! As I sit here typing my post, I can't get over how beautiful and sunny it is. The past few weeks, the weather has been so cold and today it feels like a beautiful Spring day. According to the weatherman, the temps. should reach 58 degrees! Although these conditions are temporary, it really feels great and the fresh air feels so good.



OK....I won't bore you with my blabbering. Lately I have been practicing with my Cricut Expression Machine. I really have a lot of stuff to learn and I have to admit that this machine is loaded with possibilities. To make my box, I used the cartridge Tags,Bags,Boxes and More. After I assembled the box, I used my hand held heart punch to create tiny hearts for embellishment.




The tag features an Elzybell image and the sentiment reads "My Funny Valentine".

The box is stuffed with shredded tissue paper and I stamped the words "Happy Valentines Day" on the cellophane bag of chocolates .

stamp Elzybell, sentiment A Muse, inks Copic Markers, Adirondack Pitch Black and Staz-On White, Cricut Expressions Machine, Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge, pearls, ribbon, brads, tissue paper and cellophane bag (SU)

I also would like to announce that I have won a 2 week guest designer position for Lili of the Valley! What an honor and I am thrilled to work with such talented ladies!!!!

Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by!

What is going on in Google Reader?

Hello Everyone!

Thanks to everyone for letting me know that they have incurred a problem viewing my blog in Google Reader. I honestly don't know what happened or why Reader wasn't picking up my blog feeds. After reading advice in Readers help section, I tried to fix what ever the problem was... at least I'm hoping that I fixed it. *nervous smile*

If anyone has any advice on how to prevent a problem like this from occurring again, PLEASE contact me.

Have a great weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!

Lili of the Valley Challenge #16

Good Morning Everyone!
Boy oh boy is it ever cold this morning! According to the weather report, it is 9 degrees with a wind chill of -10 degrees......brrrrrrrrrrrrrr


I made this card for Lili of the Valley's Sketch Challenge #16. What a fun sketch and I really had a lot of fun putting this card together. While trying to find a small size stamp, I found this stamp I purchased some time ago in the rear of my stamp container. I'm honestly going to have to re-organize my stamps and put the smaller loose stamps in their own separate container from now on.



Card Details.............
stamp The Cat's Pajamas, sentiment Elzybells, c/s SU, DP from my scrap stash, inks CopicSU's window punch, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Nestabilities sm. rectangle dies, buttons, scrappers floss, extra fine glitter and pearls
Markers,
Try to stay warm and thank you for stopping by!
