This card came to me today when I was reading my daily Bible reading... the verse was Luke 11:34 "Your eye is a lamp that provides light for you body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is bad, your body is filled with darkness..."... I had the world and the lantern in my head but just couldn't figure out how to lay it out on my card... then I took a nap...and as many or you know a nap is when cards come together in my head... and when I say the background cuts in my head I woke up!!... and couldn't wait to get my card on paper... this is a very easy quick card!... I so hope that you like it!!.. I love your comments they mean the world to me!!... more than you could imagine... Hugs, Jeannie

Give A Hoot

Heart shaped globe and its layer cut @ w 2.75 x h 2.36... I welded the lantern shadow blackout to the globe cut and to both cuts of the globe..... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 1/4 inches...On the Circut I would cut two extra shadow blackout globes in the color of each piece and glue them onto the globe.

Campin Out

Lanterns and lantern layers cut @ w 0.83 x h 1.64... I went back and cut an extra for the inside... you could add these before you cut with the duplicate feature... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 1/2 inches.

Songbird

Frame behind the globe large one cut @ w 3.36 x h 3.18, smaller one cut @ w 3.08 x h 2.19...on the Cricut I would cut these at 2 1/4 inches and 3 1/4 inches... you will turn it sideways to put on your page.

"T" cut @ w 0.40 x h 0.70... you will have to unlink the width and height for this cut...on the Cricut I would cut this at 3/4 an inch.

Fabulous Finds

Bookplate found on the first row third purple button down and its shadow found on the second row and the third purple button down cut @ w 2.46 x h 1.0 ....on the Cricut I would cut this at

I prayed for snow this morning!!...first I prayed in that skeptical way...then I prayed again with faith!!...and now we have snow!!!...and its beautiful!!!... this is a Thank You card to God for the beautiful snow.... OK OK I know some of you up North aren't too happy with the snow...but remember I live in Alabama!!!... this is the best snow we have had since '92.... Hugs Everybody, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Hello Kitty

Snowmen and all the layers cut @ h 4.40 inches....on the Cricut I would cut these @ 4 1/2 inches.

I cut the snow waves on my wavy paper trimmer and embossed them with my Cuttlebug Snowflakes embossing folder.

Half of all the cuts need to be flipped side to side...I used one layer to pop the glittered layer off of...I used one layer to cut the pieces that I didn't want glittered... and I cut those pieced from the snowman... placed them on top of my snowman after I ran it upside down through my Zyron ...then I placed the colored pieced on top of the other snowmen and cut those pieces from the snowman to lay in the snow.

I hope these instructions are clearer than mud!!

This card is for my card class....I am so so enjoying this class...it is just too much fun.... I have the sweetest group of ladies that are there and they just make my week.... they are learning lots... now that they all have Gypsies we put the card we make that week on their Gypsy so they can go home and repeat the card if they want.... I can't wait until one of them calls me and says "I cut out my card!!"... I will just be too excited... Since not everybody has the same carts I am making something from the Gypsy Wanderings and Gypsy Font cartridges for a few weeks while they are getting the hang of things so they CAN go home and use their Gypsy... this is the card I came up with for this week...when I saw the shoe cut out in the oval scallop this card just popped right into my head... I got to use a new technique I learned too from Christmas With The Cricut... on a cut out...like with the shoe...you just take clear packing tape... stick to the back over the cutout...turn it over and sprinkle glitter on the cutout...and it stick to the tape....so quick and easy...and so effective!!... Thank you so much for looking!!... A special thank you to my card class ladies!!... Hugs, Jeannie

I really needed to create today.... it was a must... but I couldn't really concentrate... still have all the funeral things to do... but this doll reminded me of my MawMaw... so I decided even though this was a pretty simple card that I would do it in honor of her... Thank you for all the prayers...and for looking at my card. Hugs, Jeannie

Doll cut @ w 2.42 x 2.50.

I cut her 6 times so I could paper piece her..and she doesn't come in layers... there are two cuts in yellow for the layers of hair... 2 cuts in red for the dress and bow.... one in off white for the skin...and once in brown for the belt and the shoes... some of her peices are pop-dotted and some are just layered one on top of the other.

Storybook

Frames cut @ w 3.0 x h 2.0 and 3.25 x h 2.26.

I just duplicated the smaller one and tapped the enlarge button 3 times.

All other cuts are made with my paper trimmer.

Lots of brown in and chalk.Below is how my Gypsy screen looked just before I printed...I did delete my notes at the bottom left.... the square in the middles is saved and opened as a template so I can lay my images out in it for sizing... it is the size of an A2 card and does not print when opened as a template.

I have had lots of positive feedback from these shots...but a negative one or two comments also... so if they are helpful to you please let me know and I will keep posting them.

This is another Vicki/Jeannie personal challenge card.... we wanted to use Pooh because August is Pooh Friendship Month ...something like that.... so we decided to each use a Pooh cut... any Pooh cut .... at first I was so at a loss.... just blank... the licensed carts do that to me somehow... I have trouble making the cuts "my own".... then I thought of this card...and found the little girls with the bears in their hands!!!.. how perfect was that... I asked my son to find me a Pooh quote on friendship... he said this one was his favorite so I had to use it!!!... and I agreed it was a wonderful quote.... I can't wait to see Vicki's card!!!....about to go and link it!!!... to see Vicki's card just click here! ... these challenges really make me think outside my little box... thank you Vicki!!

Turtle Friends, so fitting for another one of mine and Vicki's challenges... Vicki picked this cut... and I picked Friends after looking at the cut... I though "Those realistic turtles oh Vicki you have got to be kidding me!". but that is what makes it a challenge isn't it... then I found my paper...and knew the front facing turtle was sitting on the back of the side facing turtle and I got excited and went to work... I hope that you like it... it was such a fun card to do.

Disclaimer: My thief of a cat took my directions!!!... she always takes my craft supplies... I have no idea why!...but this time while my card was drying she took my directions ... so this is from memory...

This is an Okie's Sketch Challenge card... I didn't think I was going to do one... wasn't sure that I could make either sketch my own ... took a nap and woke up with just how I wanted to do the scallop ... so I decided that was a sign to do this challenge... then when I was going through the paper with the circles reminded me so much of floating bubbles that I knew knew exactly what I was going to do... and I just got so excited about this card!
