Fabulous Finds

Circle card pieces are all cut @ h 3.12 set the height and the width will be right...the two cuts without the offset circle hole are the shadow cuts - on the Cricut I would cut these @ 3 1/4 inches.

Wedding

Toasting Glasses cut @ h 1 inch for both cuts...the width will be right if you set the height on both these cuts..one is the shadow cut one is the regular cut - on the Cricut I would cut these at 1 inch.

Learning Curve

(I love these letters!)

Numbers and their shadows cut @ h 0.92 the width will be right if you set the height on these ... as you can see in the screen shot I welded these together - on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 inch you could make this without welding the numbers.

Alphalicious

Astrix cut @ h 1.o inches - on the Cricut I would cut these at 1 inch.

This is my this weeks Cuttlebug Spot Design Team card and my other card for my dear friend Lisa... she needed a card for another friend at work who loves Crosses... and this worked wonderfully well with my assignment for the week... We had to ink an embossing folder... so I used dark pink in on light pink paper and the Victoria embossing folder... I am really pleased with how it turned out... its a really simple card... since it was so busy it needed to be simple I felt... I hope the Cuttlebug Spot visitors and Lisa are happy with this card! ... be sure and check out The Cuttlebug Spot this week and see what the other Design Team members have come up with!... have a wonderful week! ~~Hugs, Jeannie

Ever have ONE-OF-THOSE-CARDS! ... you know the ones where everything that could go wrong did!!!...well this is one of those!!.... first I was wanting a wonderful idea...something very special for Vicki's wedding card... that just never came to me... today she is getting married so I had to be sure and make her this one ... and if another one comes to me she will have two... the cut I wanted to use would not cut out of the black paper that I have...the kind that is more like construction paper than cardstock... I wish I could find some wonderful black paper!!.. so I had to decide on something completely different... then I printed the names...not quite centered.. then I embossed the second try and the paper slipped and I had to reprint and then re-emboss.....then I left words out of my circle text...didn't notice until card was completely put together...in fixing it I smudged the stickles..had to remove the bells and do those over not to mention some of the other things that went wrong!!...good thing the wedding was too far for me to attend there is no telling what I would have done to mess that up... Vicki's dress is red so I wanted the red accents!!!.... I hope her day has been perfect all it has done here is rain!

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!

Wedding Bells

The third picture of this post shows the glitter better...which my daughter will love!!... this card is for Okies Sketch Challenge... this one stumped me...it seemed that it could only look one way... and then it came to me.... all the sudden it was there just what I wanted to do with a square card... (my first I think)... I used a whole piece of Basicgrey paper to get my diagonal lines from my striped paper the way I wanted them... lol... but that is what the paper is for to create pretty things... I just needed a learning curve today....the bells were the last element I knew I was going to have all the squares...but was not sure what was going in the top square until I was almost finished... wish I had cut two sets of bells one for the inside...but alas I was too lazy to go back and do it... maybe later... Thank you so much for looking.. ~~Hugs, Jeannie

Wedding Card and Gift

I was so excited about this present... first it is for a dear sweet friend of mine Nathan ... who won the girl of his dreams .... and is a real sweetheart!... he is like a second son to me ... he is special to my heart.... and his bride to be is a sweetheart herself... second this is my first time etching glass and its so so so so easy and I was so excited it turned out so pretty... and so perfect for a new bride ... I had a hard time deciding whether or not to put just an S for the last name or an AS for Amber Sewell ... I finally decided he would be happy if she was happy ... and getting your new last name is so fun... and she would likely be the person carrying the dish places that I went with the AS ... thank you so much for looking!!!
