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!

Jitterbuggin Card Challenge

Morning Friends!  Here is the sketch we had to follow for the Jitterbuggin Card Challenge:

Happy Spring everyone! This week let's make it look like spring by adding some Cricut flowers to our cards! Follow the sketch......add a Cricut flower.....and include pink and purple somewhere

My submission is a square card cut from pink cardstock.  I made two corners - one in purple and one in purple patterned paper that included some pink and lime green in the pattern.  I next added two rows of skinny pink rick rack ribbon.  I cut out a small Cricut flower, pop dotted it and put a pink pearl in the center.  I cut from George and Basics cartridge a circle in lime green paper then embossed it with Cuttlebug Swirls folder. Next using George and Basics I cut a smaller circle in white then stamped my spring stamp in the center.  Using Stampin' Up markers, I colored in the flower pot in purple, leaves in green and flower in dark pink and light pink.  All paper is from Stampin'Up, ribbon is from Oriental Trading, stamp from Big Lots.  Hope this card says Spring to you as much as it does to me!
