Our Kreative Karma

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!
Welcome to my first monthly post with my new design team, Our Kreative Karma!  Yahoo!!  I am so happy to be back with fantastic and talented group of girls.  If you stopped over from our new blog site www.ourkreativekarma.blogspot.com, welcome and if not, make sure you check out our new blog and all my crafty sisters.

Here is my project for today.  I wanted to finish scrapbooking my fall layout of my first field trip to the Orchard with my son.  We had an incredible time, and got some great pictures.



I am sorry the pictures are blurry, but I am having trouble with blogger and my photos.




For my layout, I used paper from Recollections Fall and Night packet, a couple of the stickers are from Jolee's Boutique.  I also used Provo Craft's Cricut cartridges Happily Ever After for the pumpkin and vines, and the Cricut Lite Yee-Haw for my "Tracker Crossing" sign.  And I could not let my layout go without any stickles and bling.  :)

Thanks for stopping by.  If you have any questions feel free to ask. And if I can fix my pictures today, I will stop back in and correct them. 

Have a blessed weekend.  See you soon.  And don't forget to check back in with Our Kreative Karma every day to see a new designer and a new theme each month.

Hugs!!

Let me tell you, I struggled with this Hop theme for the longest time.  I am in crafting rutt.  But this is what I came up with ....... it ended up being  a birthday card I made for my Grandmother, who by the way turned 94 years old yesterday! 

 

 

Supplies used:

Paper from K & C company and DCWV Summer Days

Cricut Cartridges used-Paisley, Sugar & Spice lite and CTMH Artiste

Tim Holtz distress inks

Smooch paints

Stickles

Happy Bithday stamps from Pink By Design

 

I know there are many in this Hop so I wanted to make this short and also because I am so tired after hosting  a party for my Grandma tonight.  It was wonderful to see her and as it turned out the kids put a crown on her head and she wore it all night.  So, the crown on my frog fit perfectly!

 

Happy Birthday Grandma Lucy
 91 years old

"All About Me..." Blog Hop

Good Morning Everyone!

 

Today I am participating in a unique Blog Hop put together by Shelley.

Our Blog Hop today is All About Me.  And let me tell you it was not easy trying to scrapbook

me!  I am so used to scrapbooking or making cards for others that to try and focus on myself

was difficult.  I am sure throughout this blog hop you will see many of us crafting sisters feeling

the same way.  :)  Don't you?

 

Are you ready to see my project?  Great!  But first make sure you stopped at Nadja's blog to first.  We would not want you to miss a stop in this hop.  :) 

 

I decided to put together a mini album made of chip board.  I thought once this hop was over

I would keep it by my crafting table to remind me of my favorite things and things that inspire me.

This is one of the most important days of my life.  The day of my Baptism.
  I gave my life back over to Jesus Christ.

October 27, 2001
Wedding Day. 

My precious children

My best friend at her wedding.  She has been through so much with me. 
We have been friends since our Junior year in high school.   I can't even count
how many years ago that was... hahaha!

This was one of my favorite times in my life.  Our mission trip to Haiti.  God called my husband and I
to plan out trip to Haiti with our church.  Some people thought we were crazy, especially leaving our 'not even one year old' little girl at home.  But we were so confident in God and His word that I was comfortable doing this.   So, ever since then, Haiti has always had a soft spot in my heart.

I love animals, especially dolphins, puppy's and horses.  One of my goals in life is
to eventually swim with a dophin.

Here is are some more things about me and what I love.

I hope you enjoyed learning a little more about me.  Feel free to share your story. 
I always love to hear from you. 

Now it time to hop on over to my friend  Robin and learn a little more about her. 

Enjoy and don't forget to comment and become a follower on all of our blogs to win this incredible
blog candy offered by Shelley.

 

Here is the Hop list in case you get lost.

 

Have a blessed day everyone!

My Cricut Craftroom-Would You Ever Guess Wednesday

 

Happy Wednesday ya'll!! 

 

Welcome to my project for My Cricut Craft Room's Design Team.  My challenge for using gel pens or markers came at the right time.  I just started a new Bible Study and our handouts come with three holes punched in our papers.   So, being the 'wanna be' organized person that I am, I decided a three ring binder was the way to go....  Make that a 'Cricut' decorated three ring binder.

 

Here is a  photo of my completed binder.  I love the way it turned out!   

 

I started out cutting down my Creative Memories Christian paper to fit the binder, front and back.   I used the New Testament cartridge for my scripture.  I used my Cri-Kits black gel pen instead of my cutting blade to write out the above scripture verse at 6",  you will find the verse on page 62 of the  New Testament handbook.  The letters are colored in with my Prisma watercolored pencils and I inked the white cardstock with Tim Holtz's grape, adn old paper distressed inks.

 

You will find this cross on the New Testament cartridge, also.  It is on page 59.   Again, I used the black gel pen to print out a border for the cross and  then cut it out at 5".    I used white cardstock so I could color in the cross outline with my Prisma Pencil, then outlined the areas I left white with my crystal colored Stickles.

 

Lacy Labels was used to cut out my label for "BSF", Bible Study Fellowship.  I liked the shape of the label and the swirl for the one labeled "family".    I cut these out at 2".  I cut out the word 'family' and kept the swirl.  Then I cut out the letters "BSF" with my Expression 2, using the pre-installed  Cricut Alphabet cartridge.    To match my yellow colors,  I also, colored  my letters  using the Prisma pencils and then  inked the sides.  I also embossed the label with my Cuttlebug, added some stickles and a sheer ribbon.

 

Lastly, I used my Cricut Imagine with the printable vinyl.  Using the Storybook and Imagine Hopscotch cartridges,  I printed out the word "Genesis" and a filled in shadow frame.  Sorry, I forget what page.  Which I adhered to the side of my binder.

 

Thanks again for stopping by.  I'd love to hear from you, so leave me a comment or two and don't forget to see the other project ideas the design team came up with today.
