Happy Saturday......

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend......for the first time in a very long time I've been able to be quite productive so far this weekend.....I've completed 5 swaps I'm signed up for have them all packaged up and ready for mailing on Monday morning...as well and prepared some cards as thank you's and mailed them this morning....Yahoo for me!!!!

I had so much fun playing I thought I would share the items I made for the swaps I'm in......I won't bore you with all the little details I did on all of them but if you have ANY questions, PLEASE feel free to ask I'd be MORE than happy to explain how I did any of these!!!!

This first one is for a "Just Because" swap I'm in with http://craftycardcreators@yahoo.com I really like the way this turned out!!!



This next one is for a "Sketch Layout" Swap for http://craftycardcreators@yahoo.com ....The one thing I'm so proud of with this one is I created my own "nestabilities" type layers....in Inkscape then imported into SCAL and cut with my cricut expressions....I didn't have to use any of the cartridges I have with my cricut to make these or any other image to convert...I was very thrilled with how they turned out!!!!




This next is the "Recipe Card" Swap with http://craftycardcreators@yahoo.com .....I created this recipe myself and have made it SEVERAL times and it is a BIG hit!!! YUMMY and very moist!!!!


This next is for the "Image" Swap with http://craftycardcreators@yahoo.com I took the image and created a heart template from it with my inkscape program then imported into SCAL and cut with my cricut.....I made a book out of this and am very thrilled with the results.....It was fun and challenging at the same time......




Ok, this last card is for a "Valentine" Swap I'm in with http://handmadecardsforeveryone@yahoo.com I tried to think outside the box a bit and a quite happy with my results!!!!




I am having THE BEST TIME playing in my ART Studio and enjoying all my creations....I have a few more items to work on....one will take some time as it is a book......I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Sunday and I do so hope you come back to visit with me!!!! THANK YOU for stopping by.....Until then....

Happy Saturday....

Hello everyone....I hope you 've been enjoying your weekend so far......Fall has arrived and it has been a brisk day here....just the perfect weather to be indoors all day....Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....Most of last night and earlier today I was working on scrubbing my main hard drive and attempting to load XP on it....however since it came with mfg version of Windows Home Premium I was not able to...which I thought would be the problem.....but decided I wanted to give it whirl anyway.....alas, I accepted this and reinstalled Vista.....Luckily since I keep all my images, graphics and important files on my 2nd hard drive on my computer it wasn't that bad as I didn't lose anything important and now I have a squeeky clean hard drive...:)

After I finished that I started working on a swap I'm signed up for in a Hand-Made-Cards@yahoogroups.com that I belong too....the Theme is "Buttons Swap".......I didn't want to just stick a couple buttons on a card so I tried to be a bit creative and use the button as the center of a flower.....Anyway, Here's what I came up if you wanna see....



I took a close up of the button just so you can see.......


So now I'm off to complete some more swaps I'm signed up for and due dates are rapidly approaching....not to mention the Christmas gifts I must get working on!!! I want to thank you for stopping by to visit today!! I hope you have a wonderful evening and a very blessed Sunday!! Until then....
