Fish Tales

Here's a layout I did recently with my Life's a Beach Cricut cartridge (the fish in the bowl). Can you tell I'm loving this cart? When I started using my Cricut, it was almost exclusively for fonts. Now, I'm really having some fun with the shape cartridges and making my own embellies too. And, thanks to Lisa's post about her card candy (think homemade Jolee embellies), I've been inspired to make even more of my own embellishments!

Thanks Lisa!

A New Challenge

I spent this morning in my studio and thought I'd share my work. It's a bookmark I made for a swap and my first creation using my brand new Life is a Beach Cricut cartridge. The photo might not do it much justice, but there's Stickle details on the leaves and the flower and I stamped the pattern on the word daydream with watermark ink.

This is my first attempt at a bookmark, and I'm quite happy with the results.....hope you like!

Perfect day to feel sick!

It's gloomy, rainy and cool outside...just the right kind of weather to be bogged down with a cold! Okay, so I'm still not happy about being sick (who is?) but like my son mentioned this morning, "How lucky you are Mom, you're going to be all by yourself soon and can do whatever you want!" At first I just smiled and thought, yeah right kid! But then it hit me, I'm in the perfect situation to take my time about things and do what I like; rest, scrap, read....just as long as my body is up for it!
It's just too bad I couldn't handle going for a visit at my mom's like I'd planned on......
