I Got my Mojo Back!

Well....sorta.  You crafters know how it is when you have just lost the desire or the creativity to create.  I was in a funk for quite some time but slowly but surely I am coming back.  I have made a few cards in the last few weeks and I have started on decorations for Sunshine's 4th birthday party.  I came in the dust off my blog and drop off a few cards.  Thanks for looking and Enjoy!

Cool Trick

Sunshine's favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba.  They have a part of the show where kids do a 'cool trick'.  Sunshine saw this trick and she was determined to do it.

Cards

Making cards is my passion.  If I could I would create a few everyday.  I love to make these in adavance so that I always have a stash when the occassion arises.  A friend asked me to make a few cards and this is what I came up with.

52 Weeks

I am challenging myself to do a layout a week.  Of course as I type this I am 2 weeks behind but I do have good intentions.  The layouts for my '52 Weeks' Scrapbook are all 8x8 so it makes them a bit easier to scrap.  Here are the January pages.

Valentines

Here are a few (cough) adult Valentines. I made a very cute 'Love Coupon' Book and a card. I finally used my Your Story Photo. I won this on Jinger's facebook page when they first came out and it has been sitting in the box. I really love this and can't wait to use it again.  I could only show 2 pages out of the coupon book cause the rest are a bit to adult for my blog! ;)

Create a Critter Video

I got alot of messages and PMs asking me how I made these adorable cards so I did a quick video today with instructions.  I hope this helps.  If you have any questions please feel free to email me.  Thanks!

I Made the Cricut Chirp

These adorable Valentine's Day cards were mentioned in this week's Cricut Chirp.  The Chirp is an online newletter that Provo Craft emails out weekly.  They get projects that are posted on the messageboard and mention them.

When I got my email I looked at the cute projects and when I saw my picture I thought..."hmmm someone made some cards just like mine."  It didn't dawn on me that they were my cards until I clicked the link!  How slow is that!  duh!

Anyway I made these for my Sunshine's daycare class.  She LOVES them so I am sure the other 3 and 4 year olds will aslo.  Thanks for looking!

Challenges

I'm getting caught up on my blog so I thought I would post a few challenges that I recently completed over at Platinum Scraps. 

Love Is In the Air

I am getting a head start on this year's Valentines.

I have been soooo busy getting my house together for Christmas.  I designed a few wall quotes so I am posting one them for the hop.  I used Songbird, A Child's Year, Beyond Birthdays and Inspired Heart. 

I also made a calendar but so far I have only decorated one month.  Hopefully by the end of the month I will have completed at least the first few months of 2011.  My plan is to use each month as a layout and add the pictures and journal as I go along.
