Look What's New

Hey everyone! Check out the new blog for Kristal and I. sewcute-kristalandemily.blogspot.com We'll be adding new things soon.

more doors

I've been trying to keep up with the months for my door. I didn't do as much with February as I would have liked, but I have to be careful about not identifying my students. (I teach special education). I think for the March door I will have them write about a time they were lucky or their lucky number.

Bags

Kristal and I are preparing for the Lion's Club Antique and Craft Expo in April. I've been working on 5 Fold N' Go Green Bags. I think they are so cute. I've decided to take a little break so that I can maybe get some scrapbooking done as well as my Bible study which I've neglected over the past week and a half.

Busy Few Weeks

Kristal and I have been busy making our bags for the Antique and Craft show coming up in a couple of months so actually completing page challenges has been, well a challenge. I'm pretty sure these pages are from challenges from several weeks ago, but I loved them. The single page in green and pink is from the 52 sketches...52 pages (week 5 I believe). The other two pages are from Okieladybug blog. Like I said I'm so far behind.

New challenge

I've decided to participate in the weekly challenges at 52weeks52pages.com. This is my first week's challenge. For this layout I used the large scallop paper from Bazzill, Botanical line from Fancy Pants, the strip and journal blocks are from the Botanical line from Fancy Pants also. The title was cut out using the Calligraphy cartridge from Cricut.

Weather Pics

Like all good scrappers (especially those of us without children to scrapbook) I had to get out and take pictures of the landscape covered in all the glistening white. These pictures were taken from my front porch and back deck. It was beautiful until cabin fever set in. Granted I have some great pictures to scrap. Maybe we'll have more snow this week and I can get more pictures of the pups playing in the stuff.

Love My Cricuts

I love my Cricuts. As a teacher I've started doing seasonal door decorations using images from one of the many cartridges. I started doing this because one of my students innocently asked me when I was going to put a Christmas tree on my door. At the time I didn't have the Expressions so I decided to improvise and cut out a lot of small trees to make a large tree. Here are a couple of the decorations I've done to date.
