This is only my second toboggan too… in the south we call these knitted caps, toboggans… I know all my friend from up north are laughing…but a toboggan is what they are to me!!… Thank you all so much for looking!!

I felt like this is how God thinks of the rain.... a happy moment... the angles going about their work being happy... I hope that you like it... thank you so much for looking... thank you too for any comments they just make my day! ... Hugs, Jeannie

*I wanted just the yellow part of the Daffodils to place over my green ... before I added the layers so I added that many daffodils to my mat and moved all but the tops of the flowers off the page.. see mat shot below... so I could put yellow over the green...then add the layers.

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!!...

I found this little tiny note on my cardmaking table...it said I want one with an arrow...well by then the arrow wasn't pointing to anything... so I called my daughter, Madison...and she had seen this squirrel on my Winter Woodland cartridge.... I was looking at my Gypsy Owl card...and thinking of a book I saw the other day...and decided that a lot of my design for my Gypsy Owl card would work for this card... so I took some things away...and added some things...and in no time at all I had this card designed!!.... I am loving my Gypsy... just loving it!! Hope that you like my card...I cherish your comments!! I really really do! ... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT

Winter Woodland

Squirrel cut @ w 1.43 x h 1.50.

Squirrel layer cut @ 1.23 x 1.50.

You don't have to put in both numbers if you select both images at the same time and keep them grouped if you change the size... you can un-group them when you are ready to print to place them in the right place on your mat.

Gypsy Wanderings

Branches cut @ w 3.38 x h 3.42 and w 3.98 x h 3.11 and w 2.36 x h 1.84.

The smallest and one of the largest branches are welded together.

Leaves cut @ w 1.03 x h 1.0 there are 18 leaves all together.

I spread out the rows so that I could put 3 different 2 x 8 strips of paper down to get 3 different colored leaves.

Pooh and Friends

Moon cut @ w 1.62 x h 1.79.

I used the moon for the base for my Martha Stewart Branch Punch so that I would keep them in the right area and the spaces wouldn't show through...the moon shape is cut in brown.

I didn't have a layout of this card...just the cut out file...be sure to delete your notes before you print and when you are prompted to save changes say NO.

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!!
