Cutter File Card....

I forgot to share the card I made for the Cutter File Challenge over at Visual Designs by Chris. Chris makes up a batch of cutter files and you have to choose one to make something out of for her challenge. This time I choose the red circle mat with the cute swirls. There was a whole bunch to choose from. And the best part is I got them all!! She even makes SCAL files!! So if you have a cutter I highly recommend her stuff. Very Awesome!!

I had to have it....

I have been wanting one of these since the first one came out. Well they reduced the price and I had to have it!! Plus I've been on a book buying diet because I've wanted one for so long. I haven't bought any new books for months. I've been waiting forever. It came in the mail in two days and I have already started reading my first book "My Sisters Keeper".

This is my first choice because my friend Lori said she read the book and watched the movie and preferred the book. (thanks Lori for the info, I hate it when they change the story for a movie) So I'm not even going to bother going to watch it. That will save me a bunch of money right there. So any ways I totally LOVE it!!! Fits in my purse, I can order a book when ever I want to and it's there in a minute. No more bags of books sitting around the house that I have to decide what to do with. Yep I'm in love... :)

Squigglefly #9...

I'm running be hide today. I forgot to take a picture of my card this morning... Well here it is. This weeks challenge over at the Squigglefly Challenge Blog is to make a card using "One Layer".

I wasn't to sure about this challenge when I first read it, but I actually liked it. It wasn't as hard as I thought. I picked my image out and what I wanted it to say and then printed it right on to the front of my card. Then I colored it.


Now I'm not usually one to care what kind of card stock I use, but this time I went with Gina K. 120lb Pure Luxury Card Stock. I remembered her saying you could color and it wouldn't show up on the back. It's the first time I've used it. It's what I'll be using from now on when I color with my Copic markers. It made the whole process so much easier. The colors blended like butter and I didn't have to worry about them running into the next section. I did have to be careful to not get to crazy in the small areas. I tend to forget the tip bends around. And no it doesn't bleed through, the back is still white. Pretty awesome!! I highly recommend it...
