Did I listen… not at first… I kept going through my Gypsy looking at my cuts…nothing was coming to me…. God kept nudging me to go look at my papers… when I did just that there it was the card I needed in my first stack of papers…when I saw the papers I knew exactly what I wanted to do!!… next time I will listen… I hope!… thank you so much for looking… I love your comments.. Be sure and check out the video… it’s a two part video…because my battery ran out of power in the middle. I am learning!!!.. Hugs, Jeanne

I totally went with the paper on this one...at first it stumped me.... I was at a loss... picked out all the paper and then I just didn't think I was going to be able to put anything together.... I was really frustrated.... and I wanted to make a card...I so loved the paper... so I stepped back and said ok God... please give me a card... took a few deep breaths....and it just all came into place... Now if I would learn to give Him the big things!! .... Thanks so much for looking...and I do love your comments... one never gets tired of comments!!... Hugs Jeannie

This is another card that came to me Friday or Saturday one.... I was excited when I started it... I still have one more card in my head that I can't wait to make.... then I will have to start saying my prayers and my thank yous for more card ideas..... When I am all blank and I want to make something.... I ask God for ideas when I say my prayers and then I tell Him thank you because I know that He will send me some.... when I learned to do that that is when my card ideas just started coming to me.... thank you so much for looking...

CRICUT
Happily Ever After
Owl cut @ 4 inches.

I cut this owl Once on shadow, twice in the red with the pink dots, once on layer in the more patterned paper.. and once in black so I could cut out his eyes.... I attached the first red layer to the brown shadow layer... those are popped dotted off the background.... then the second red layer is where I attached the black of the eyes...and that layer is popped dotted from the first red layer...then the final layer, the more patterned paper is popdotted off the top red layer...

The words on the plaque are computer generated...and I used a corner punch on both of those rectangles...the plaque is popdotted from the background layer.
