My Scrapbooking History

I began scrapbooking about 4 years ago with a group of women who I view as real pro's! Their pages were just beautiful and I was so proud when I pasted with a glue stick a few pictures onto a page, added a couple of stickers and thougth I had created a masterpiece! Then I realized how much more to scrapbooking there was to learn! Over the years I have added many new techniques to my collection of scrapbooking necessities. My favorite technique is using my Cricut Expression machine! Anything is possible with a Cricut and a few cartridges. I am always looking for new cartridges and have found the best buys at Cricutmachine.com and Ebay.com. I check out what is new on the Cricut website then start my bargain searches! I have made many scrapbooks for friends and enjoy designing pages with new themes in each book. I hope you will join my blog and enjoy some of my work!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #62 - A Cup of Cheer

Our challenge was to make a card using a cup of some type - a cup of cheer card. After much searching for just the right cup design, I finally decided on the Joys of the Season cartridge and cut out my cup.  I then embossed it with a floral design Cuttlebug folder, used my Stampin' Up pastel chalks and chalked in the raised areas on the cup. I started with a standard A2 card in Purple cardstock, matted with white cardstock, then embossed the lighter purple square with Dotted Swiss.  Added the two flowers cut from my Cricut and placed rhinestones in the center of the flower on the cup as well as the corner flowers.  I used White Stickles to accent the "steam" from the cup.  The purple sheer ribbon from Ribbon FX and thank you message were added last.

    Such a pretty card and you used my favorite color for the background!! Like how you used that particular embossing folder for the cup - great job.
