Happy first day back to school!!! (Well it is here...) My baby is in Grade 1! And my eldest is in Grade 4 with my middle one in Grade 2. I have NO idea how or when that happened! But my kids sure were excited to get to school today! They wouldn't even hardly sit still long enough for me to take a picture! For a scrapbooker like me that's really difficult to accept! But I made it through so I think I will be okay. ;) I wish you guys all the best, both students and parents alike, this school year. I am excited because this school year is a brand new start for us as a family. My hubby, who has been off work due to health problems, is going to school himself for 6 weeks! At the end of which he will have a Class 1 driver's license with air brakes, and 14 safety tickets which will allow him to get a job in the Oil & Gas or Construction industries. For the first time in over 10 years my hubby will have a job!  He. Is. THRILLED!!!!!!! I am so happy for him! So our family d...

Good after hello! How are my readers today? Yup, my posts are few and far between right now. BUT! I am setting my business up and trying to get things settled so I can bring everything to you guys! Video tutorials are in the works! Yay!!!! However, I am not here today for my crafting and business stuff. I am here because I need to ask for your help. There have been a lot of things happening in my life lately that have really thrown me around. I have picked myself up and dusted myself off and thrown myself back into the fray. However, I need some help with some of my life's biggest trials right now. I have started a GoFundMe account in hopes that I can reach out to you and maybe find some sort of support. A lot is happening in my life but some of it is good and I need to finish the fight with the other stuff and get it out of my way for good! Also, if you want to help but are more into getting something more out of it for yourself too, (other than the warm tinglies for hel...

Hello, my friends! It is I, your long lost crafter! Where have I been you ask? Well...I've been right here. LoL The truth is, I have been incredibly busy! Between 3 kidlets who are growing like weeds, and a hubby who who has PTSD, I have been very preoccupied. Also, I have had some health issues which have complicated things. BUT! I am back! To make it even better, my baby started school this year! Though I definitely miss the baby stages and having my kids home with me during the day, I am grateful to get some serious me time. I have been working at starting my own home business which is very difficult for me where I live. Unfortunately, there are no financial entrepreneur type helps for someone on territorial disability. Because of my young age, I am unable to get federal disability. So, I have found a good start. I am now an Independant Consultant for Close to My Heart! I love being able to share some of my favorite products with others. What makes it even better is that I have ...

Good morning, everyone! How is everyone's week going? I hope you are finding as many blessing this week as I am. :) Today is Creative Card Tuesday at  My Cricut Craftroom  and I have some cute cards from the new Artiste cartridge to show you. Today's theme is Pop-Up Cards which is new for me. (Confession: I have never made a pop-up card!) I decided to challenge myself and try out one of the pop-up cards on the Artiste cartridge. What did I think?  One word-EASY! I really enjoyed putting these together. They took minutes! I cut out two cards from pg. 51 of the Artist manual, one at 4 inches and the other at 5 inches. These are the pop-up inserts as they cut out. Following the guide marks, I scored the inserts and folded them This is how they should look before you glue them into your cards. I also cut the card bases themselves, again at 4 inches and 5 inches, but for some reason I have no pictures of them. The beauty of this image is th...

Good Tuesday morning, all. I hope your day is finding you happy and having a good week. Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's Creating Card Tuesday. Today's theme is Thank You cards and I have an easy one for you. The dimensions for this card are as follows: Card 3 in x 4 in (cut a strip 6 in x 4 in and score at 3 inches) Purple Matte is 2 3/4 in x 3 3/4 in White matte is 2 1/2 in x 3 1/2 in This card is small but can be easily made larger. The flower is from the Elegant Cakes Cricut Cake cartridge is cut at 2 inches and is found on page 69 of the booklet. The inside is stamped simply "thanks" as sometimes it is all that needs to be said. Because of the simplicity of this card, it is easy to duplicate. In less than an hour I was able to make 6 cards. These mini cards are perfect to stash in your desk at work, your purse, or even your car for when you are in need of a quick 'thanks' for someone. :)  'Thanks' for...
