Some of my Best Friends are Flakes

This week's "Challenge Me Monday" over at  Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is about "Snowy Delights".   I will also be entering this into Made By Momo's Tuesday Challenge. Her theme is create something that involves "Snow". Living in Philadelphia, I gotten to see quite a bit of snow (last winter we had some where around 72 inches) but nothing like the beautiful snow back in West Virginia.  Here it snows, looks pretty for about an hour. Then the bus, a plow, or a random vehicle comes by and it becomes a gray/black slushy mess. 

Anyway, on to my project.  I tried to find a "snowy" tagline that hasn't been used too terribly much. "Some of my best friends are flakes" is quite funny and if I were to send such a card to any of my best friends they wouldn't take too much offense to it. 

This is a standard A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).  I have no idea where this paper is from.  A long time ago I purchased a set of paper from ABC Distributing.  It hasn't been the easiest paper to use up and I don't particularly care for it.  I printed the sentiment from my computer.  I should have used some sort of block for it and maybe put it in the lower corner, but I can't complain it's still a cute card. The snowflake is from the Going Places Cricut cartridge. Until next time....

Relocated Craft Space

Good Afternoon Everyone,


I've been cleaning up all morning and decided to move my craft space from dining room table to a more reasonable spot.  A lot of last minute changes have been happening around my house and I needed to adapt to them.  Now my stuff is upstairs in the office.  I will be using the desk where our computer is for now until I can decide on what type of table to get.  I definitely need something with storage and a nice large workspace.  Sound like a trip to IKEA!!!


So my super duper man-friend (doesn't sound right to call him a boyfriend when we are both in our 30s) actually listened to me when I told him what I wanted for Christmas.  He sent me to Wal-Mart, with his credit card, on Black Friday to get it....want to see what IT is?

Isn't she beautiful?  It's my brand new Cricut Expression!!  He calls it the Mantis.  ;-)  Well I'm off to continue to organize my stuff and hopefully will have a project up for you in the next couple of days.
