Our Little Cricut Girl-Virginia

Hello and Happy Sunday. This morning on Operation Write Home's Facebook page, 3 cards were posted. Two of the cards were made by my buddy Virginia. The two cards are DogGone I miss You and Hello Dear. Virginia is our card groups Cricuit Girl. I think she's working on having every cartridge Cricut makes and she's doing a great job of it! What is best about having the cartridges.....she is using them and she's creating some really cool cards! Kathy from County Purr Farm created the Friends card. Great Job Virginia....you are quite the Cricut talent! Kathy, it's great having you join Operation Write Home, even though you live out of the area. We hope you can join us on one of our OWH days. Kathy thank you for being a part of our group effort....by the way...Nice job on that card!

Operation Write Home has become a favorite project for the girls in the SOS group at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique. I've put links to Operation Write Home's blog page, their Facebook page and to Paradise Scrapbook Boutique. I hope some of you will be interested in joining us on the last Tuesday of every month, or contacting Operation Write Home for more information about starting your own local group. It's a win-win situation.....we get to do what we love - make cards and we get to share them with people we know deserve them. What could be better?

I'll have another non-card related post later today. So check back and have a look! Until then, have a wonderful day (we are the weather is finally cooler), and I'll see you soon!

Cinderella Birthday

My August class is filled - thank you to everyone who will be joining me. I think you'll have a great time with the two cards. I'm being very kind this month....your kits are "almost" totally cut....aren't you lucky! I'm really loving making the August cards and last night, while my honey was watching one of his shows, I made this card. Karen will have to help me with the names of the DP....it's beautiful, and best of all, it's glittery....really glittery. The poke-a-dots are glittered, the black DP is glittered....guess what, I like glitter!

Speaking of glitter and Karen at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique, I dropped in yesterday and I always ask...what's new, and there is always something new. The little shoe...it's new! How cute. She glittered a pair she put on display. Wouldn't this make a great pin cushion? I am sending my shoe to my granddaughter. She is coming from Australia at Christmas and we are going to Disneyland. Every little girl needs a Cinderella shoe! She's getting so excited about her trip and she and I are going to be fairy princesses.....I can hardly wait!

I may be a bit absent this coming week, it is going to be a very busy one. Class on Tuesday also a Car Show, Weight Watchers on Thursday and best of all, my step-son and daughter-in-law are coming for 4 days! I can hardly wait! To my new friends at Silver Stampers.....if I'm slow getting cards out to each of you....I promise I'll be responding to all your great cards very soon!
I guess I'd best get cleaning.....So, have a wonderful week! See you all soon!

My August Class - UPDATE


UPDATE: Good morning....a quick note. My class is full....however, if you want to call Karen and get on a waiting list....530-876-8037. Speaking of Karen, if you haven't been to her blog page in awhile....you might want to check out her new pretties.... She's getting new things every day.... Paradise Scrapbook Boutique. Off I go, lots to do today. Oh...quick reminder..... Tuesday is SOS day!

Can you believe it is August? Where does the time go? I wanted to get these two cards on line as my August is getting crazy....Between our kids coming for a visit and a mini-vacation, it will be mid-August before I know it. This class will be on August 17th, from 1:00 to 4:00. The class is filling up quickly, so sign up soon.

I had a great weekend with my son. He is helping me learn how to use Photo Shop Elements. I created 3 digital pages (I'll show them soon), and by the third page, I was feeling pretty smart. Let's hope this ole girl can retain at least 1/2 of what I've learned.

Off I go to put some kits together.....have a wonderful week and I'll see you soon!
