A New Year

Paige getting ready to go out in the snow...loves her glowing socks...Kasey with a huge snowball.

Robbie being a dude as usual.

Happy new year everyone Im so sorry I have been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks or even months.Hopefully everything is back to normal after christmas,new year and snow days with everyone home from school and work.

I have promised myself Im going to start doing challenges agian and look at the blogs Im following.

I have just ordered a Gypsy so this will hopefully boost my mojo and get my butt moving agin on making cards.

If anyone has any good tips for using their Gypsy would you please share them as Im a bit nervous about the Gypsy as I dont use Design Studio or SCAL with my Cricut.

Ok everyone have a good day and I will be posting again soon. x x x x

Joys of the Season cart

Heres some cards I have been making this week with my new cricut cart Joys of the Season.I used DCWV le creme pad,beautiful clours and some are glittered and some are pearlised.The stamps are from Daisy and Dandelion set I got off of QVC love the fonts and the circle one fits perfect in the wreath.The deer one is on vellum that I got in a goodie bag ages ago but never knew what to do with it before.Also used the good old trusted cuttlebug...dots...swirls...and a snowflake folder.OK off to make more cards and hopefully get them posted again soon.Sorry havent posted for so long but just lost my crafting bug for a couple of months but its back again I think.

Hope you like Karen x x x x
