Birthday card

Birthday card I made for my nephew. I think he'll like it...where does the time go.
 found the phrases in the silhouette store, I cut the layers out of cardstock (its not a print n cut).









































GOOD NEWS:
I don't think I've lost my MO-JO....I think it got misplaced in the rearranging/organizing my craftroom.  While making this card I've decided I do NOT like how my craftroom is coming together. I was trying to get my crafts/office to share the same space and NOPE!!!! its too crowed for my crafting. I need space to spread out when crafting. So back to the drawing board and figure something else out....
LOL - I need therapy...Today I made myself go to Michaels and Hobby Lobby and I will not walk out without buying something?????? At HL I bought new blades for my cutter I won't mention
the other stuff I had in my cart and ended up putting back......at least I bought something...then I went to Michaels and ended up leaving with tape for my ATG and xyron 1.5 refill. Its not much I know... but at least its something and I do feel a little better. OK, let me go and redesign my room.

Have you found it???

:(  I have lost my MO-JO!!!
I posted a card in June and haven't really crafted since..... I have several projects started, but I'm not in the mood to finish. I'm 3/4 of the way done rearranging/organizing my craftroom but don't want to finish......
Family/friends said take a vacation.....so I did....I want to see my niece in Dallas and went to several craft stores and Ikea and The Container Store and bought NOTHING!!!! Believe Me,  I had a long wish list of things to get but changed my mind. Now its September and the holidays are quickly approaching and theres crafts I want to make but I'm just not in the mood......I watch youtube videos and save them, I check pinterest and blogs and craft sites( scrapbook.com and splitcoast stampers) and nothing interests me.
I just don't know what to do...... :(
Any suggestions????

Anniversary card

Saw this card in the Silhouette store and I just had to get it. It's so Cute!!!
Its for my brother and sister in law's anniversary.
it'll fit in an A2 envelope. I used AC silver and gold cardstock for the toaster and adapted the pattern so I'd have an outside and inside piece of buttered toast.




















































 I love this toaster/card!!!

Fathers Day cards

My daddy passed away 15 yrs ago but I still make them for everyone else.
Everything is from the silhouette store. I layered the big fish and print & cut the lil fishes.
Of course the lil fishes represent the children. Its an A2 card, I used foam tape.































this one is for my nephew who had twins 2 months ago- 1st time dad

A card I made for my cousin. I used the Cricut carts. "Simply Charmed": cupcake cut @ 3.24h and used stickles for the cupcake and flame and liquid pearls for the wrapper and "From the Kitchen" the fork cut @1.13h and "Ornamental Iron" - Bite me cut @ .91h. The inside was done on the silhouette

card and envelope















its hard to see but I used the fork as an exclamation point..ha ha

AG Minc machine

Two weeks ago Anna Griffin was on HSN with a Minc 6" foiling machine (mini minc).
I've seen a lot of youtube videos on this foiling and was very interested.
I'm a card maker and this mini size I couldn't resist!!!
It arrived late yesterday, so I played with it this morning.
I LOVE the mini size, it sits on top of my jetmax cubes.
 WARNING! I only had it on about 15 minutes and my jetmax cube was very warm, so I went and got a glass trivet out of the kitchen to put it on.
















Here's some samples I played with:
on the left the rose gold and on the right the gold
















so SHINY!!!!
















this is the gold- you can't see it but there is quite a bit of blank spots and I even ran it thru again and it didn't help much. The setting was at 3.




















this is the rose gold and I reread the directions (machines will very) so I put the setting to 4 and YES! much better!!!




















I LOVE FOILING!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not a fan of Anna Griffin designs and I got the auto ship, I think I'll cancel the auto ship and get a laser printer....I have a Silhouette so WOW!!! the designs would be endless!!!
If you have the Cricut Explore you can print your designs also.
AG also has glitter sheets - I need to go play....bye - HAPPY FOILING!!
