June FLEW By!

Happy July! Had a great Home Gathering with my pal Niki! She did great! Got a ton of free product and her wish of a 50% off Cricut cartridge came true!

Speaking of Cricut cartridge....news out of convention going on now is that we have a new one!! More details to come on that as I've just heard about it myself...a font, overlays, projects....when I know more, dear readers, you will too!

That's it for now....until I get more deets!

I know, I know....

Life just happens sometimes, you know? :) Holidays, birthdays, remodeling projects, sickness, general laziness...sometimes they get the best of me...

Here are some things I/we have been working on:

This was card club for January. I took to Pinterest and got much inspiration there...I grabbed up my Cuttlebug and dusted off my embossing powders and heat gun and went to town!

These are quick simple "triple stamp" technique cards I am doing for a retreat I'm going to:

This is a layout I've been trying to finish, using the Avonlea paper pack from the Fall/Winter 2012 catalog (it's still available though! :)

This last set of photos is a quick little 6 x 6 accordion album I made for my mum for Christmas. Her best friend passed away last year and I thought I'd give her a little something to cry about :) I used the Dakota paper pack from the Fall/Winter 2012 catalog for this (also still available to order!) as well as some Dimensional Elements that came with our Cricut Artiste cartridge, some Scrabble letters I found on clearance at Joann's (perfect since that was their favorite game) and some of our Pewter Badge buttons and brads:

This one says "So thankful for your friendship." The photo is the fuzziest :)

We are trying to get a card club going for March...what with the Spring retreat coming up and me trying to clean out my stash...we'll see if we can do it! :) As always, if you're interested in attending a club, want to start your own or want to do something together, give me a shout! Thanks for looking!
