The New Halloween Cricut Cartridges

Wow! Have I been having fun with the new Cricut Halloween Cartridges!!! THEY ARE AMAZING! While I ADORE the October 31st Seasonal cart and just about collapsed when my Happy Hauntings cart came in, this Pumpkin Carving Seasonal cart has turned out to be not only cute but functional as well for my upcoming Halloween decorating. At my house, Halloween EXCEEDS all other holiday decorating... yah, I'm kind of THAT MUCH of a freak for Halloween. This Pumpkin Carving cartridge looks like it was MADE for Halloween decorating (well, beyond pumpkin carving) with the square and circle images; check out the fun I had...

The round images are the ones I worked with first. I cut them to use as orange ornaments using the ornament from the Christmas Cheer cartridge and then just glued the round Halloween images to that. These beauties will adorn a black tree lit with orange lights..... oooooo spooky! Didn't the kitty cat turn out PERFECT!?!

The round images also work great for light covers to cast spooky images on the wall! I just taped the skull image on the end of a flashlight, or it can be cut larger and attached to the top of a lamp shade.... FUN, FUN!!!
Have fun with this cartridge gang, I know I am!
Ok.... I'm officially psyched.... HALLOWEEN IS COMING!!!

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...

Quick Tip and Treat!

So I was on my group message board at P eertrainer.com and someone made a recommendation that I thought was wonderful! So wonderful in fact that I spent the afternoon balancing my checkbook to see if I can afford it!!!! Apparently the Magic Bullet is quite the go-to gadget for trainers and athletes! Why? Isn't that just another piece of garbage that they are trying to push on those infomercials??? Well, that's what I thought, but I've gotta say that more than one person in the discussion said that this piece of garbage is invaluable in keeping them on track with their nutrition. Here's what I heard today about the Magic Bullet: It's got a really powerful motor It really is quick and easy to use (the infomercial didn't lie) The handy single servings make it quick and easy to whip up a power shake for a quick "treat"! If you drink more than one a day, you can make many different types of shakes without continually dirtying up an entire unit! NICE! A co...

BRAGGERS!!!

Ok, so today's post is just a little venting for the day.... WHY are all my friends at the Winter CHA and I'm sitter here typing up this babble on my blog??? WHY am I not blogging FROM CHA??? And finally, WHY are all my friends sending little facebook messages from CHA seemingly guilt free. My friends are braggers..... HUGE BRAGGERS!!! Shame on all of you. If I was at CHA, I surely wouldn't be bragging about it. I wouldn't post pics of all the cool people I'm meeting and all the awesome new products that I'm playing with. And I certainly wouldn't be trying to score a pic with Tim Holtz like we're both old friends just meeting up at CHA. I wouldn't think that scoring that pic is like Tim and I are new BFF's.... I wouldn't!!! I would attend with the proper decorum befitting a CIVILIZED crafter and I DEFINITELY would wouldn't be shouting about it to all my friends who had to stay home. Shame, SHAME, SHAME !!!
