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 .

This card is the card I made for the BBTB2 Design Team Challenge for this week… we were to use the Genie lamp from Paper Doll Dress Up… I thought and I thought and I though about what I wanted to do with this cut …. Then I thought of my Robtoz cartridge and knew what I wanted to do…. I was so excited with the background paper that I computer generated… I felt like it was the perfect touch for the colors. Thank you so much for looking…be sure and check out what the other DT Members came up with over at BBTB2. Hugs, Jeannie

I’d Wish cut @ h 0.41..set the height and the width will be right on all the letters…I welded these letters together….. on the Cricut I would cut these @ ¼ or ½ an inch they don’t have to be welded so this will work fine on the Cricut without the Gypsy.

My husband took me to eat at Cracker Barrel yesterday and I say this beautiful card with a cross and flowers and hearts on it… I just love the feel of it so I came home to make me a version of it…. And when I finished laying out the cross, the heart and the flowers I knew this card needed an angel… God’s Little Angel…. And I imagined that the angel felt great joy when it laid his eyes on the cross… the card just filled my heart with joy!!… I hope it fills your heart too…this also ended up being a good first card to assemble on video because it is fairly easy… there is a separate video for the angel… it is just below this post or you will find a link to it on the right of my blog entitled Assembling God’s Little Angel…. I hope that my voice and my flow of instructions gets much smoother!!… I’m learning!!…. Thank you so much for looking… I love your comments!!… Hugs, Jeannie

Guard-in Angel (Story behind title)

The story is important to the title of this card... it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling!!.. first I connect with a childhood friend on Facebook recently....and through our conversation we found out that we had shared so much more in childhood than we knew... it no wonder we were drawn to each other...so I wanted to make her a card and asked what she liked...she said Guardian Angels..so I thought how am I going to make this card without it being all formal.... I wanted something sweet and cute...then I remembered that once when my son was little he saw a snake in his Big Papaw's garden...we told him no to worry it was just a garden snake... he was delighted...being into superheroes as he was and said "oh a guard-in sake... they guard the garden!!!"...and that is how this card came to be... I remembered a stamp that I was thinking was a Cricut cut and imagine my dismay when I remembered it was a stamp...one that I didn't have!!... so when Joyce told me oh Jeannie you can make anything...I couldn't disappoint her!!...THANK YOU JOYCE... to make the angel I used the crawling baby from New Arrival... and butterfly wings from Pooh and Friends!!... and Raggedy Andy's hair from Paper Doll Dress Up..turned sideways a bit... so the left ear of the baby ended up being its nose!..I am so excited about my little angel!!...beyond excited...I hope that you like it!!... thank you so much for looking and for you comments!!...
