Have been busy on the internet as before lol. I spent a lot of time on the  MTC message board reading and learning. I just love that program (Make the Cut) it is so versatile and really easy to learn,  Even tho I am a Cricut Circle Member and have several Cricuts I decided to buy a Black Cat Cougar Cutter last month after Provo Craft decided to sue MTC . Well I do not need Provo Craft any more. The Cartridges are so expensive and you can not design with any of their products without their cartridges. So now I still use the Cricuts but the Black Cat cuts circles around them. There is so much more you can do with the Black Cat and MTC. I am just in the beginner stage with the Cat but am learning and there is so much help available on the Message Boards. If any one is interested in a Cutter or MTC please check it out. Every Tuesday there is a Webinar online with MTC and you can ask questions after demonstrations of how to design in MTC. It works with almost any cutter except the Cricut. I will have to get busy and post some cards again. Many go to people without me taking pictures. That I hope will change somewhat in the future. One can and must always hope!

The whale card was just a online clipart and I used the cloud from Penny's Lettuce card, the cuttlebug for the  waves. The whale is attached with a wobble. The first card I made with the Imagine was stolen by someone during transit at the Post office. Expensive lesson I learned . No more stickers on the outside and no cash inside. It makes me sad that you can not trust the US Mail.

Quick card

I needed 2 quick cards for my grandsons birthday and I saw Penny Duncan's Lettuce card which I thought was really great. I tried to make it like hers but she is out of my league. So the result you see here. lol ... Her file is available free online on her blog. It was so great to use the MTC file cut it and in a few minutes voila the card was done. Thanks Penny.

Punch Rack

My BFF came over and gave me this great gift. Her husband made this rack for me that I had seen on another website. How sweet is that!!!

Thank you Dolly

Here is a card I made for a thank you. My BFF Janice's Daughter in law's Grandmother Dolly made me the beautiful tote so I made her a card to thank her. I think it turned out pretty good !

Woohoo

I went to my first Stamp and Crafting Show here in Clearwater. Cathy  ( a friend) and I enabled each other. LOL What great fun it was! Seen some awesome card projects but until I get to make some new ones here are some pictures of the completed ones. I hope that you like them.

I need help

I have been spending so much time online admiring other peoples creations that I forget to post  my own. Time after time I promise myself to take pictures of what I have done which is very little lol but I have to get on the stick. I love to watch videos  and rummage around other artists sites. They inpire me to go see more lol. My 3 Cricuts are lonely. Most my time is spent with Make The Cut. The program is so fantastic and so are all the people on their Message Board. The Webinars are great and everyone there is willing to help.  Hope that I can help myself soon and start creating with them. There is hope rofl.

It is Time

Tomorrow I am getting my new Cricut Imagine I hope. UPS tracking said so lol.  Also I ordered a new camera to take pics. Looking so forward to this. I have so many cards and can not post any of them. So sad!

Well it has been awhile since I posted anything but had a lot on my plate lol.  Jillianne (my GD ) and I have been going to classes for Copic markers and really have enjoyed it. I also joined the Cricut Circle and been doing a lot of reading on that message board. Like all things you do "where has the time gone". I will be posting some cards soon that we made. Jillianne enjoys it as much as I do. My DH FORCED me to buy the new Cricut Imagine so we will have fun after Oct. 11.

Mother's Day has come and gone

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day! I did. Linda, Jillianne, David and I went to eat at Leverocks and enjoyed a great meal. Here are some more cards I made in my STUDIO . Linda and Jillianne played in the hmmmm Studio/ CARDSHACK on Sunday.  Sorry I should have asked for a new camera..haha ..this phone camera is not doing to good. For now it will have to do. Hope some day to get a few people together to share some of the great info from the net and tools I have. The rose card Jilliane made for me. I am so lucky and blessed with all my children and grandchildren.

cards...catching up

Have been really busy trying to get some things done around the house since the weather has been so great. Here are a few cards that I made and decided to send a bunch of cards to Operation Write Home. The image of the girl and boy on the swing came from Whimsie Doodles. I am trying to use markers from Copic but not to good on that yet lol. Practice practice and then some practice. Next cards should have some marker artwork hmmm. The lemon slice was free from Svgcuts.com

Jillianne's 10 minute cards

Jillianne (my granddaughter) stopped by and made a few cards. I was surprised how quick she made them but then again she has a talent in art and I do not have an artistic bone in my body.
