<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">O<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">ne of the hardest things I<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> battle is depression <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">and anxiet<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">y<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">. I know its a stig<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">ma that most folks don't want to admit to but I <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">have found myself <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">in the deepest hole lat<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">ely. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Finding
myself hiding under the covers or in my house and not wanting to come
out. I guess I've been having a pity party for one but recognize that I
need<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">ed to find a new party to hang out <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">at. Then I look at those<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> fighting <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">much bigger battles <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">and <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I</span> think how selfish I am for even feeling this way. I know I'm lucky that I don<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">'t have the struggles and fights that some have<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> and I need to suck it <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">up and keep moving. So this weeks <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">inspiration <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">at The Cutting Cafe helps me to remember how truly b<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">lessed <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am and how I need to thank God for the blessings th<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">at I have.<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">With this card I decided to go back <b><span style="color: red;">OLD "SCHOOL</span></b>" and use my scissors and glue instead of my cutting machine. That's one of the great things about <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a> files. You don't need a cutting machine to be able to use them. It's as easy as printing out the PDF files and let your imagination create your masterpiece!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">For this card I chose to make a double card. I put my <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/apple-shaped-card/" target="_blank">Apple Shaped Card</a> on the front of a six inch card base that a student could write a sweet message to their favorite teacher and made a tag using a sentiment from the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/apple-treat-box/" target="_blank">Apple Treat Box</a> set.The larger card is for the parents to show your appreciation for all they do for our children. Teaching is definitely not an easy job! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What a week it's been. It's been long and short, all at the same time. On April 8, 2013, we had to say goodbye to our sweet babygirl Bama. She wasn't just our family pet, but personally my best friend. With a husband in the military and teenage boys too 'cool' to hang with their moms, and now with both of them off to the Army, it was always just me and her. I feel like a piece of my heart is missing, even still a week later. I will never forget my sweet Bamagirl and all the love she gave me! Goodbye my sweet girl, thank you for picking us out to love for so many years!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So now lets get to happy thoughts!! One thing that brings a smile to my face, is files from The Cutting Cafe!! This week we were asked to work with the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2013/03/tall-box-template-cutting-file.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Tall Box Template - Cutting File</b></i></u></a>. What better way to dress up a gift for someone, or in my case, some sweets! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I also chose to work with the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2012/01/candy-sentiment-setsprintable-stamps.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Candy Sentiment Sets - Printable Stamps</b></i></u></a> for the polka dotted paper. I cut my box using my Silhouette Cameo and printed my paper from my printer. Very easy and quick project to put together!! So much fun to work with!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I finished it off with a bit of lace around the lid and added some bling around the window I made with a piece of acrylic from old packaging I held on to. The window portion of the box is included with this set, as well as the little tags. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">HAPPY EASTER!!!! Definitely a sweet day for those of you that celebrate Easter, and those that don't, I wish you a beautiful and sweet day also!!! I think it's going to be a quiet day at home this year. With my youngest son away at Basic Training and my oldest busy spending time with his girlfriend before he leaves for Basic Training, it'll just leave me and my hubby here. It's odd not having to get Easter goodies ready and preparing to fix a big dinner today for everyone. I guess when they get older, especially in the military, it's something we've gotten used to, and now with the boys going away, something <b>I'LL</b> have to get used to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So instead of doing all the regular Easter stuff, I spent my evening crafting! Our upcoming inspiration at The Cutting Cafe was to work with one of the below files...</span><br />

My mind is racing though with projects using the other shaped cards lol I hate when my mind works faster than my hands but the clock works faster than my mind and I can't squeeze everything I want to do in a day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As always, these files were so much fun to work with, and the possibilities are endless!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For this project, I printed out the PDF files that come in the set and then cut out by hand and with my cutter when straight lines were available. I like showing the PDF files in some of my projects instead of my Cameo or Pazzles, to show that you don't need a fancy cutter to use these awesome files! Regina makes sure that all crafters are tended to :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Once I had my pieces cut out, I ran my ice cream scoops and cone through my Vagabond to give some texture and then added glossy accents for a more icy look. Then I put my envelope together! I LOVE this envelope and it was so fun to put together! It made me pull out my eyelets and crop-a-diles that seems to get ignored lately.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I then used a bit of twine to attach my little sentiment, that ALSO comes in this set. There's so many pieces you'll receive with each of these file sets! So worth the small price!! I also used the same twine on my envelope. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I had so much fun with this file!! The possibilities with this file is endless. I do believe that you c<span style="font-size: small;">ould use this for any <span style="font-size: small;">oc<span style="font-size: small;">c<span style="font-size: small;">assion or holiday out there. </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I know the file says <span style="font-size: small;">Li<span style="font-size: small;">ttle RED Wagon but hey, who says the wagon couldn't be blue??? lol </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So with this project, I <span style="font-size: small;">was sit working on a swap I'm in, when it hit me, Thanks <span style="font-size: small;">to Regina Easter lol why send it in some boring sandwich bags? Why not fancy it up a bit, where <span style="font-size: small;">the ultimate <span style="font-size: small;">of surprise carries a small token a little further<span style="font-size: small;">?? So that's what I did!! </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

I was going to pu<span style="font-size: small;">nch and make it mat<span style="font-size: small;">ch the shaped card, but I really like<span style="font-size: small;">d the look of it when <span style="font-size: small;">it was closed lol <span style="font-size: small;">but be assured when you cut your file, it'll be a postage stamp. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

I know I have to put my selfish pity aside and be happy that he's following his dreams and making a future for himself and his future family. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> I just wanted to share a card I made for him. His 19th birthday is tomorrow, and I know this won't arrive in time, but wanted him to know how much I was thinking about him and missing him and MOST of all how PROUD I am of him and the young man he's becoming!!</span><br />

I started <span style="font-size: small;">with some red cardstock from my stash, but just wasn't <span style="font-size: small;">feeling it, and then tried adding some Silk Iride<span style="font-size: small;">scent Magenta Ink, and it really done a pretty cool bronze <span style="font-size: small;">effect to it oddly enough lol but then I decided to add some Tiara Glitz Stickles and as you can see, it turned out to be a <span style="font-size: small;">really sp<span style="font-size: small;">arkly red/pink color, so I stopped there! I didn't want to push my luck by playing with anything<span style="font-size: small;"> else lol </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Happy Birthday to my sweet sister Sheri!! Her birthday is officially tomorrow, but I wanted to get this card up and I won't be able to send it out until tomorrow :( I'm a horrible procrastinator! Maybe that'll be my new year goal for next year lol either way, I hope she has a wonderful and Happy Birthday!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I just loved this image!! It's <a href="http://www.lalalandcrafts.com/Birthday-Marci-Digi-Stamp-DGS5010.htm" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Birthday Marci</b></i></u></a> from La-La Land Crafts! Isn't she just the cutest??? I recently took a copic class from <i><b><a href="http://sugarpea-designs.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wendy Ramlakhan</a> </b></i>and figured this would be the perfect image to practice what she taught me! Unfortunately for me, my brain isn't what it used to be lol BUT I think she turned out quite alright! Hair and skin are two of my weaknesses with Copics, so that just means practice, practice, practice and more practice. But with the help of this cute little image and Wendy's patience, I've found a new love for my Copics and not just intimidation anymore...So I guess that's a good thing! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I also tried my hand at Rosettes. This was my first one. Yes I have the Tim Holtz Dies, and even the Memory Box dies, but I wanted a certain size, so this one was done the old fashioned way...using my hands and my score board. Somehow a few didn't turn out quite that great, I'm sure it was operator error lol but this one was perfect I think!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ok enough babbling...I'll leave you with a few more pictures and the inside poem that I found on the web and used. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I wanted to include a picture of the back of my card as well. I got these awesome <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/custom-handmade-just-for-you-labels/" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Personalized Labels from The Cutting Cafe</b></i></u></a>! You just tell Regina what you want, she sends the file, and then you print them out! You can do sheets at a time, or just a few. I'm cheap on some things, and why would I want to spend $$$ on a personalized rubber stamp, when I can spend a few dollars and get more than one design! So anyways, just check it out, you'll see what I'm talking about!! :) </span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I chose to work with the <i><b><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2009/01/heart-bag-cutting-file.html" target="_blank">Heart Bag Cutting File & Template</a></b></i>! It was so fun to make, that I couldn't just stop at one. I've got about 9 more sitting on my desk ready to be glued and decorated. They're so quick and easy and would perfect for any classroom or work space!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you don't have a cutting machine, no worries, you can cut these out easily by hand. Just print out the pdf file and you're on your way!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I also chose to work with a second file from the store... <i><b><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2012/01/hershey-kisses-valentine-bottomsprintable-stamps.html" target="_blank">Hershey Kisses Valentine Bottoms</a></b></i>, for the little wraps I done around the candies. They fit the bottom of the Hershey Kisses perfectly, but wanted to go with some candy that I had laying around, and I think they worked perfectly!! I also used an old piece of acetate that I had hoarded away for the heart cutout area. I love putting these bags together!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Once again I opened my file inside Paintshop Pro and changed the colors from black and white to turquoise and purple. Once I had that done, I printed a few copies out so that I would have one for piecing. I popped the "I love you" and hearts from the word search image, and printed out a sentiment of my own, that I thought worked well. If it doesn't...well...that's my brain's fault lol I went back and forth with a few sayings, but ultimately liked this one. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'm so excited to announce that Regina at <strong><em><u><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a></u></em></strong> invited me back to design for her! I just love Regina and all of her awesome files and stamps, so I'm so happy to be back on her design team, surrounded by so many creative and talented ladies!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's Inspiration Time at the Cafe, and we were allowed to work with anything from <strong><em><u><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe store</a></u></em></strong>. I chose three files for my project. The files are so versatile, that it's easy to find yourself working with multiple files for a single project. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The Inspiration part of my project came from a dear friend of mine. A few days ago I found out that one of my dearest and truest friends will undergo a double masectomy soon. My heart has been so heavy since she told me, so I wanted to do something for her. I know a little card won't ease all the thoughts she's having right now, but I hope that it'll at least bring a small smile to her face, if only for a few minutes. Much love to you my friend!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For my card above, I chose to work with the following files from <strong><em><u><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a></u></em></strong>:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><div align="center">

</li>
</ul>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I first lightened the lines of my Beautiful Rose layer using Paintshop Pro. Once I had that done, I printed out directly to my patterned paper that I had chosen. I then used my copics to color my rose in. I'm pleased with the way it turned out. I wanted the rose to be the focal point of the card, so I tried to keep everything around it simple. I then took some Glossy Accents and highlighted the petals and leaves, giving the rose some dimension. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After I was through with my Rose, I just began layering my pieces the way I liked. I then used a sentiment for the inside. </span><br />

I love inspiration time!! You can find such amazing and creative inspiration at <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/cutting_cafe_blog/2012/02/its-inspiration-timecandy-sentiment-sets.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>The Cutting Cafe's blog</b></i></u></a> this week. So make sure you go and check out all the lovely work from all of our Design Team! While you're there remember to stop back by on Thursday and leave a comment and you may be a lucky winner of 3 sets of your choice from <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" target="_blank"><u><i><b>The Cutting Cafe store</b></i></u></a>!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This week's inspiration, Regina asked us to use the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/party-hats/" target="_blank"><u><i><b>PARTY HATs</b></i></u></a> files! You have got to check these out!! They would work perfect for any celebration! I chose to work with the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2012/02/fun-with-party-hatsprintable-stamp-set.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Fun with Party Hats Printable Stamp Set</b></i></u></a>! I had such a great time working with this file. Maybe because I was making it for my youngest baby, who turned 18 on Feb 20th..or maybe because Regina's files are always fun to use and work with. I'm thinking it's both reasons!! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For my project, I started off with one of the Party Hats, taking it into my Paintshop Pro and adding the Miami Dolphins Logo to it. I erased the bottom portion of my logo so it looked as if the turquoise part was water and it was jumping from the water. I cut out another dolphin to layer the logo, and the same with the tassel part at the top, adding some feathers to it. But then I thought...February...Mardi Gras!!...soooooo</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I turned it into a Mardi Gras party hat!!! I thought it turned out really cute and I think my son will love it. If for nothing else, to hang on his wall with the rest of his Miami Dolphins items! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I love inspiration time!! You can find such amazing, creative and sweet inspiration at <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/cutting_cafe_blog/2012/02/its-inspiration-timecandy-sentiment-sets.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>The Cutting Cafe's blog</b></i></u></a> this week.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This week's files can be dangerous if you're anything like me!! Of course if we're working with the awesome <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/candy-sentiments/" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Candy Sentiments Printable sets</b></i></u></a> you have to have the candy to go with it right?? Now you see why I say this is a dangerous week!!! Of course the project got candy, but then I have all this yummy sweet chocolatey candy leftover, and it always manages to find its way in my hands and then into my mouth lol </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For this project I chose to use and eat TOOTSIE ROLLS!!!! Who doesn't love tootsie rolls? I thought this would be a cute project for my sons' girlfriend. So of course I had to have something to put the Tootsie Rolls in, so I went back to </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" target="_blank"><u><i><b>The Cutting Cafe store</b></i></u></a></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> and grabbed this cute <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2012/01/square-box-with-front-windowtemplate-cutting-file.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Square Box with Window template and Cutting file</b></i></u></a>!! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I started off by bringing the Orange and brown Tootsie Roll background into my Paintshop Pro and changing the color to Purple...I love purple!! Once I had the color the way I wanted it, I put it back in my printer and printed off the Square Box with Window template on the backside and cut it out!! Yep I used my trusty scissors and hands for this one!! I cut a piece of clear plastic out of a box I had laying around for the window part. Very easy and quick to put together! Then I took one of the Sentiment tags that you'll get in this set and done some doodling with my stickles. So if you have a lot of school projects to get done, go snag these files and get to creating!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Anyways, if it's Wednesday, that means its Inspiration Time over at <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/cutting_cafe_blog/2012/01/its-inspiration-timevalentines-day-boxes.html" target="_blank"><b>The Cutting Cafe</b></a>!!! This week, Regina asked us to use one of her Valentine treat boxes, bags, or pockets. I chose to work with the Heart Pockets, and since I missed last weeks inspiraiton due to illness, I chose to use the Long Sentiment Tags as well. I made this card to send to my mom for Valentine's Day. She loves reading her Bible and motivational books, so thought I wanted to give her a bookmark also. So when I seen the <b><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2012/01/heart-pocketstemplates-cutting-files.html" target="_blank">Heart Pockets</a></b> files and the <b><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/long-sentiment-tags/" target="_blank">Long Sentiments Tags</a></b> at <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/" target="_blank"><b>The Cutting Cafe</b></a>, I knew they would work perfectly together with what I wanted to do!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love the versatility of Regina's files. I loved the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2012/01/heart-pocketstemplates-cutting-files.html" target="_blank"><b>hearts pocket</b></a>, but I wanted to position the hearts differently.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> So, I printed one of the
files that was closest to what I was wanting, and then printed another
copy for dissection. The first copy I used to make a blank pocket, and
the second I used to cut out the hearts for placement onto the blank pocket. Just what I wanted!! And how can you beat 4 pockets for $1.50?? YA CAN"T!! So hurry over to <b><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a></b> and check out this file along with all the other fabulous printable sets and files that Regina has. Remember that all files come in PDF format and most also come in WPC and SVG formats.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Happy Tuesday everyone!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Phew we've made it to Tuesday. For some of us, we're having a short week this week, and then next week its back to a full one. I already miss my husband being around the house, the holidays has a way of spoiling us! Today was Christopher's first day back to school after his car accident. It's definitely been a long few months, but a very THANKFUL one more importantly. We've got a few more months of rehab ahead, but he's a strong kid, so I know he'll pull through. Also..I'm happy to announce that I've been chosen to rejoin the design team at <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/" target="_blank"><b><i><u>The Cutting Cafe</u></i></b></a>!! I'm so excited to be with Regina and all the ladies once again. I love all of Regina's files and stamps, so it's never hard coming up what to do with them, my hardest choice is which file to use, as you'll see below lol</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">With that being said, its Inspiration Time at <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/cutting_cafe_blog/" target="_blank"><i><u><b>The Cutting Cafe</b></u></i></a>!! This week we were asked to work with the<a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2011/12/loopy-loopy-bow-flowertemplate-cutting-file.html" target="_blank"><i><u><b> Loopy Loop Bow Flower</b></u></i></a>! I love this file because it's so versatile, and it comes with the bow it two different forms...with the holes and a plain one. This file comes in PDF, WPC and SVG format, for those of us with electric cutters and without. For my bow, I used the PDF file, to show how easy and cute it comes out even if you use your old faithful scissors. This bow will work with whatever project you have going, it's all in the papers you use. So get those Valentine ideas flowing, and fit this lovely <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2011/12/loopy-loopy-bow-flowertemplate-cutting-file.html" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Loopy Loop Bow Flower</b></i></u></a> into your sketch!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For my project this week, I made a little set for my aunt's granddaughter, Olivia. They like to send mail to each other, so I thought they could use this during their craft time while she's at my aunt's house. Olivia has been under the weather recently so I hope this brings a smile to her face :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This week at <a href="http://craftuscrazy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Craft Us Crazy</b></i></u></a> we've decided to do a surprise challenge and we have a great sponsor to go along with it.....</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.kennykdownloads.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="150" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1tCKJhq68Hs/TqrRCDUkWBI/AAAAAAAAAF0/o6fYTL0VcnU/s800/KKDBlinkie1.gif" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The challenge this week, is of course...Christmas and/or Humorous for those who might not celebrate Christmas. I would personally like to thank Kenny and Elena for this great image I got to work with this challenge, and I have a few more coming throughout the next two weeks. They're so much fun to play with!! And the winner of our challenge will win 5 digital images!!! So what ya waiting for? Come on over and join us!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So without further ado, here's <a href="http://www.kennykdownloads.com/queens-cutie-digi-stamp.php" target="_blank"><u><i><b>Queen's Cutie</b></i></u></a> wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Believe it or not this is the first time I've ever colored a <i><b><a href="http://www.kennykdownloads.com/" target="_blank">KennyK</a></b></i> image. To be honest, I've always been intimidated by them. Never thought I would do them the justice that they deserve, but I do believe that Queen's Cutie turned out pretty nice. So you better believe I'll be adding more of these images to my shopping list! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I tried to make my card look like a present, with the great <b><i><a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2011/12/loopy-loopy-bow-flowertemplate-cutting-file.html" target="_blank">Loopy Loopy Bow from The Cutting Cafe</a></i></b>. This file was another fun addition to play with. I chose to print each of the pdf files off instead of using my cutter. I wanted to see how easy it would be, and I was right, it was just as easy printing and cutting by hand, as it was using my cutter. I really had so much fun making this card. The papers are from DCWV Christmas Stack and I done the "Merry Christmas" with the font Broadway and chose to distress the edges of each layer. Pulled out a button and some twine from The Twinery, and voila! She's ready to go wish someone a very Merry Christmas!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I hope that everyone has a very safe and happy holidays over the next few weeks. I wish you all the happiness and laughter that Christmas brings. I pray that everyone has a VERY SAFE and fun New Year's Eve as well. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!</span></div>

Well hopefully it'll be a happy Monday for everyone! It's a cold one here in Arizona, so I think a day of crafting and keeping warm is in order!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I came across a great challenge at <b><a href="http://sweetstopsketches.blogspot.com/2011/12/sss137-december-3.html" target="_blank">The Sweet Stop</a></b>, a sketch challenge, which I hardly ever do, but I loved this one for some reason. So, I decided to give it a try. I made this card for a dear friend of mine that lost her husband a few days ago. I hope it lets her know how much we're all thinking about her. We love you Mary!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On to the sketch... The sketch below is what we were to follow at <a href="http://sweetstopsketches.blogspot.com/2011/12/sss137-december-3.html" target="_blank"><u><b>The Sweet Stop</b></u></a>. We could turn it, flip it, change the shape but needed to stay as close as we could to it, so I believe I accomplished that. Sometimes it's nice to have that inspiration, whether a picture, a sketch, an idea to jumpstart your creative juices. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> I made this card for a family member that's going through a tough time right now, so I wanted her to know that I was thinking about her. I do believe that this adorable Elisabeth Bell stamp, does just that. Daisy is lost in thought wishing that she could say or do something to make her day a little bit better! Daisy and I hope that we put a little smile on her face, if only for a few seconds. </span><br />
