Gypsy Dispute

     I am sorry at this time, I can no longer create anything due to the dispute between my Gypsy and Cricut Expression.  The Gypsy went for its monthly updates.  I referred the Gypsy to a new site called Cricut Sync and he came back and said he no longer could work with the Cricut Expression. (I guess he liked the old site Gypsy Sync better).  Well I referred both of them to a mediator (Provocraft).  Well the Gypsy said he was not working with the Cricut Expression anymore and that was final.  Now I have to wait for the new arrival of my new employee Gypsy 2.  Gypsy 1 will be taking a flight to it's mother land (Provocraft).  It is so hard to find good help these days.  I would go and take a long bath to sooth my soul but the gas line decided to take a break too and he won't be back for a couple of days.  And life goes on. Have a great 4th Of July.

CCCC 19 New Arrivals

I didn't have New Arrival, but I used A Childs Year.
Welded the letters together and made a extra O in red.
New Arrival is on my wish list. LOL I have so many on that list.

Manly Cards



On the quest for father's day cards.
Coming up with ideas are sometimes hard.

Simple is sometimes a good thing.



This one is one of my favorites.

Vinyl Moments

    
      My Grandson is a big Oregon Duck Fan.  So for his birthday I cut out the Oregon Ducks for him.
He just turned 9.


     The best feeling you can have is when you put a smile on a child's face.


     Since I  was on a roll with the vinyl, I came up with this for my craft's room.

     I did this with my gyspy.  Don't look to close but the Craft is 2 degree's off.  I didn't notice until I already had it on the wall.  But I did go back to my gyspy and fix there in case I decide to do something else with it..  I did cut the two colors together and put it on the wall all at once. 

     These were the first things I did with the vinyl and I loved it.  So easy.

Cricut Cake

This is my first attempt to use the cricut cake machine.  I used Wilton fondant.
The Wilton fondant works great on the cricut machine, but is way to dry for the cake itself.
There is always a learning curve when doing something new.
When cutting the butterflies always make lots of them because they are delicate and will break easy.
You can't see the ribbon too well, but I used my gyspy and welded it together.
I  was making this cake for cricut club to show how the machine works.

Easter Treats

I have used this box many times for my grandson's class.  I just re-invent it for the different season's.
I used a 80 cent punch to punch the flowers out of a pop can.  Pop can metal is really thin.
Used the cricut cartridge to cut the eggs, bunny and grass.
I used embossing folders for all the eggs..
Hope you enjoy it.

Mojo Monday 185



I love this layout.  I am going to use this card in the April exchange at Craft Warehouse.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  On the inside of the card reads "I'm hoppin' you have a Happy Easter".  Just a play
on words there. LOL  I do wish everybody a Happy Easter.
