Today we are all creating a project that has something to do with monsters and incorporating action wobbles. Here is the project I have created. It's a Halloween card.

I put a monster die cut sticker on some glitter card stock and put the action wobble on the back of the glitter card stock. Here's a close up.......
 

And here's a quick video of the action part.......

My Busy Life

Hey Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by today. I'm trying to get back to blogging more than once a month, so we'll see how I do. I've been making lots of projects lately, but finding time to upload them to my blog has been difficult.


A little bit of what I've been up to.... I've been going to my local Farmer's Market every Saturday from 7 am as soon as I get there until about noon unless it rains. I've been selling my cards, some hair bows and some microwavable heat packs made out of socks and some made out of flannel. It's been fun hanging out with my work friends who also have been selling different items at the Farmer's Market. I'll try to upload some pictures of what I've been selling at a later date.


My granddaughter turned 1 on April 13th and on May 11th, we threw her a birthday party. I think she had fun. Here is her birthday card I made. Her parents call her "monkey" and I was going with an animal print theme for her party. The monkey is actually on an Action Wobble so it looks like he's swinging.

Her cake was special ordered from Wal-Mart.

And here is the birthday girl. Just click on the picture to enlarge it to see the detail better.

I took a onesie and cut some purple material (with iron on adhesive on the back) out on my cricut in the shape of a one. I ironed it on, did some zig zag stitching around the edges and added some buttons in one corner. I also made ruffles and sewed them onto the back of the shorts and sewed on the ribbon that I had tied into a bow. I forgot to bring a bow for her hair. :(


Here is her birthday banner that I cut using my cricut.

And here is one of her gifts that she got from us. We love horses in our family. My youngest son and my mom both have horses, so we thought it would be fun to get her a rocking/bouncy horse and it makes noises too.

And then last but not least, I've been helping my kids finish up their last days of school before summer break. I still have three sons at home and they go to three different schools. My second oldest just graduated. Yay! Two down, two to go and one of those will be next year already.  :)


Here is my graduate:

Well, that is all I am going to share for today, but I will be starting to post my projects so check back often. Thanks for checking in with me today and I'd love for you to leave me a comment.  :)

Valentine's Cards

Hello Everyone!
Sorry it took me a little longer than I expected to get my cards posted, but here they are....

The stamps used are from My Pink Stamper's From The Heart stamp set. The heart cut is from the Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge, and I added the heart with an Action Wobble which I took a quick video of to show you the "action" part. :)

Here's my second card I made. I put together a couple of Prima Flowers with a white pearl brad. I also added stitching with a white jelly roll pen.

So, there you have them. I hope you like them and I'd love to have you leave me comments and/or questions. If you are not already a follower, I'd love to have you follow me and leave me your info and I will follow you too.

Thanks for stopping by and stop back real soon. I'm still on the Thankful Thursday Design Team and we have changed things up a bit. We will now have projects just once a month, but they will always be blog hops. As you can see from the button at the top of my blog, our first hop is coming up this coming Thursday. We'd love to have you all join us. You can start off the blog hop at Crazy About Cricut's blog.
