This is a card i made formy sister-in-law who recently emailed through her scan so I could see the progess.... I figured I'd send her a card to say thanks and which her well....













And lastly a card for a friend birthday coming up this month... she loves purple and used to do motorcross and is a pretty cool chick so hoping she will love this card....

cricut glass etching and vinyl - a childs year, forever young - wine glasses, coasters....

Here are some things I made trying something new, I purchased some etching cream off trademe and bought some mirror coasters. Cut the images on my cricut with vinyl and used the negative image, then put cream in the image part and washed off after 10 minutes....

Heaps of fun and look great!

A wine glass for a friend, this was my first attempt at glass etching.....


















And the left over vinyl images from my next lot of coasters, decidedthey looked nice on a wine glass....

Cricut cards, bloom fence, alice in wonderland, bumble bee, mosaic fairy

Here are some cards made over the last few nights, firstly a fence from the bloom cartridge.







Next Alice from the disney classics cartridge....











Next a cute bumble bee from create a critter. This card design is from the cricut magazine - which I am loving! I gave up buying magazines as they cost so much and you end up with so many and nowhere to store them all... since buying the new cricut magazine, I cannot resist as they are so many great ideas in them.....

Black water rafting scrapbook page

Here is another of yesterdays creations, seemed a great time to start scrapping as new years day! This was back in the 90's when my flatmate and best friend, Martyn and I went blackwater reafting atthe waitomo caves. At the time his brother owned the caves so we got an extra special trip, absailed sown a 30foot hole into the ground (very small from memory), checked out the glowworms, did some tubing after jumping off a cliff! saw horid cave wetters and even got an eel in my gumboot! We even had to climb up over a massive and very strong waterfall, I remeber the relief when I finally made it back out of the ground....

Christmas scrapbooking page

After a busy time before, during and shortly after Christmas, I finally made time tomake a scrapbooking page. Itwas fun and I used my new cricut machine too.... Also followed a page map layout... rather simple but I'm sure I will get better the more I do!

cricut cards

Here are a couple of very quick cards I made using my new cricut cartridge, A child's life (i think that's what it called)... Not sure if I like the shadowing on the first one, maybe if I did the pic in white and shadowed with black and then put on blue card?? prob would have looked better.... i do like the silhouette look though!
