Gift Tags with the Gypsy

Sorry this post was a little later than I said. Grandma and Grandpa ended up coming over and we played Wii for New Year's Eve. Trust me, it was very entertaining.

Here are the gift tags I designed with the Gypsy. I love her so much because I am able to design on my break at work and come home and cut right away! Plus it is so nice to be able to see where to put all your little pieces of paper. I love love love saving paper!

These gift tags were made using Joys of the Seasons and Gypsy Wanderings... hope you enjoy!

Christmas Presents and New Year's Resolutions

I am so excited!! Last week for Christmas, I got the best gift from Santa!! A GYPSY!!! Woohoo!!! I have already created some last minute gift tags for our second Christmas celebration this weekend. I will be posting pictures of those tags later tonight after dinner. But for now here is a picture of my new Gypsy. This is when it was still in the box, but trust me she has gotten a great workout since then. :)

I also want to address New Year's Resolutions in this post. This year I have decided to have three resolutions. Here they are... no going back now...

1. Post on my blog at least once a week. I know that certain family members have been giving me grief about my lack of updates. I am going to try to update with a variety of projects. I will be doing wedding projects, scrapbooking pages, and maybe even some crochet projects!

2. Work out. I know, it is the same resolution everyone has. But I would like to work out using my Wii one hour a day for five days a week. Hopefully posting it on my blog will give me some accountability.

3. Get caught up on my scrapbooking. Now that I am officially graduated from college (Yay!!) I will have more free time when I get home from work. I plan on creating page kits when my photos arrive in the mail to speed my scrapbooking along.

Dang, now that I read that it sounds like a lot of work. But it's always good to have the best intentions and set your goals high. I can do it!!

GYPSY Giveaway!!

A new blog, The Gypsy Spot, is giving away a blog from Custom Crops!! I really, really want a Gypsy... and I have been drooling for weeks over everyone's amazing creations on the Cricut MB...

So I am crossing my fingers and toes and entering this contest!

Then hopefully if I win the Gypsy I can start entering the design challenges! :) Here is a link to The Gypsy Spot Just click on the blue words!

Also, per my fiance Andrew's request (hi babe!) I will be updating this more often. I have been very busy with wedding crafts and I will post those soon. I also want to start posting some scrapbooking pages.

Awesome Giveaway!!

The amazing blog Christmas with the Cricut (http://cricutchristmas.blogspot.com/) is giving away a chance to win a Workbox... for those of you who don't know it is an amazingly cool cabinet that can house any crafting supplies you can imagine! The best part is it folds up and you don't have to see the mess!! It's my dream...

Snowflake inchies!

So I am still doing the crazy Inchie challenge!  I have started working on my second set which is a set of snowflakes!  I stamped the snowflake and then put Modge Podge around the edges and dip it in glitter.  Time consuming, but the effect looks just like snow!  Thanks for looking!

Cupcake giftcard holders!

So I adore these giftcard holders... Fabulously Artsy has a video on Youtube that I watched several times while I was making the first one.  They are extremely time consuming but so much fun!  And sooo cute!  Here is a link to the Fabulously Artsy video if you want to try one for yourself!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkVm1Tif6gI  

I made these for my dad and grandpa for Father's Day.  They both enjoy golf so I added a golf ball topper and pin flag for a more masculine cupcake.  The options for toppers are endless!  

Have not posted in FOREVER!

Okay, if anyone is reading this I just want you to know that I haven't disappeared... I'm here and I've been busy busy busy creating!  So I took pictures of some of the things I have made and am working on posting them.  The good news is I am caught up on scrapping pictures through January of 2009!!  I can't believe it!!  I still have to do the journaling and cut some titles, but the pictures and embellishments are done!
