I have just had trouble making a card lately… one I have been busy there is lots going on in my life right now… but too/two when I have had a chance I just could not come up with a card… Yesterday I went and bought this beautiful paper by K&Company, entitled Susan Winget … and I came home and still could not think of a card… then this morning during my Bible study time I remembered what Pastor Francois said at Church one night … he said “Many believers do not rise up in the morning to command the day to favor them and to command the wicked to be shaken our of their place.”…. just after finishing my Bible study and prayer I took my dog, Shaggy out… and it was just the most beautiful day… I said right out loud… I command this day as a day of favor in my life… and I command my mind to make a pretty card.. I will not let evil get in my way!”… I walked back in the house picked up this paper pack… and the in my little head was this card! … God is so good!! This is for a couple at our church that invited us to a gathering tonight… I hope that they love it.

CRICUT & GYPSY

Graphically Speaking

Butterflies and their shadows cut @ h 2.33... Set the height and the width will be right on all cuts .. This cut is on the Icon feature and the Icon Shadow feature… I cut one in brown and cut the body out of that… and I cut the butterflies in a pink patterned paper and the shadows in a yellow patterned paper… I added blue and green chalk from my Color Box chalk to add more color to the butterflies… on the Cricut I would cut these @ 2 ¼ inches.

Heritage

Lattice Piece cut @ w 1.91 x h 3.5 in Brown Mulberry paper…you need to use the shift key to find this cut… (I unlinked the width and height to get this size) .. On the Cricut I would cut this @ 3 1.2 inches.

Paper Doll Dress Up

Vines (3) cut @ w 3.54 x h 2.86 this cut is on the accessories 3 and shift feature… it is a wonderful vine for so many things… on the Cricut I would cut this @ 2 ¾ or 3 inches .

Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch and Border Punch

Card base 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches… Frame piece 4 x 5 ¼ inches…. Background piece 3 ½ x 4 ¾ inches… Sentiment piece 2 ¾ x 4 inches… all these pieced I cut on my paper trimmer.

I also ask that you do not submit my designs for publication, profit or for any contest. Thank you!

I woke up this morning... like at 2:30 this morning and picked up my Gypsy... and there it was in my head this card... so I laid it out to make today... then I work up again this morning at 7:30... and about an hour later I found out that this dear lady I know lost her mom... so this card is for her and her family... As many of you know I often pray for my cards.... and I have been praying each morning for a card... and I feel so much like my cards are a Gift from God... well this one... I especially feel that way about.... I hope that it brings this sweet lady a touch of comfort...thank you so much for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

I was so inspired by CardianAngel's "wiper" card on the Cricut MB... (click here to see it)... that I just had to make one!! ... I love how the little part at the top just pops up...and its so easy!!... I had gotten this beautiful paper, perfect for the Heritage cartridge, from a wonderful friend of mine, Linda one of my Card Class Ladies, as a gift.... so using CardianAngel's inspiration, Linda's gift and the Heritage cartridge this is what I came up with... I hope that you like it!...thank you so much for looking!!..Hugs,  Jeannie

Heritage

Tree's cut @ w 3.52 x h 3.36...on the Cricut I would cut these @ 3 1/2 inches.

"Love" cut @ w 1.11 x h 0.98... you will have to unlink these to get the width and height on this cut....on the Cricut I would try cutting this at 1/2 inches first... you may even be able to cut it at 3/4 and inch...but I am not sure...you don't need the width to be too wide.

"Legacy" cut @ w 2.46 x h 0.55...on the Cricut I would cut this at 1/2 an inch.

Decorative Swirls cut @ w 3.14 x h 0.50... these are rotated on the mat...on the Cricut I would cut these at 1/2 an inch.

Opposites Attract

"our" cut @ h 0.64 inches... the width will be right on all the letter if you set the height...group and weld the letters together...then set the width @ 2.10 inches.... on the Cricut I would cut these letters @ 1/2 inch...and then I would trim the tails of the letters to make the word short enough to fit over the "legacy."

My mom's birthday is tomorrow.... and I just now got a chance to make her card.... I got the new Heritage cartridge yesterday...and today while waiting at the Dr office I put this card on my Gypsy.....otherwise she may have had to taken a store bought card!!!..... I was reluctant to get the Heritage cartridge since I don't scrapbook... but then I saw all the tags...and loved them... this one I enhanced with A Child's Year.... I sure hope that my mom loves her card... thank thank you so much for looking!!... Hugs, Jeannie
