I am still working on getting my stack of cards up. Here is a nice card I made using the Art Nouveau cartridge and a new die for the background. I then added a pretty butterfly. I hope you like this and plan to come back again soon. Challenges entered: http://sweetstampsblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/challenge-161-anything-goes.html

Today I have been working on a beautiful birthday card. I found this wonderful background in the Silhouette online store. The flower design is from the Art Nouveau Cricut cartridge.   Hope you like this and come again soon to see what I am working on. I will be posting this card on the Make it Monday site: http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/2013/09/mim-159-with-rick-st-dennis.html

I got around to working on more of the thank you cards yesterday.   This is another cut from the art nouveau cartridge they all turned out so nice.   This is the design from page 28.   I made it with the same colors that in the book, but I think it would look good in light blue as well. Thanks for stopping by hope you have a great week.   I will be entering this in the following challenge: http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/ http://www.tammyscrapincorner.com/2012/08/weekly-challenge-22-show-us-your-bling_6.html http://atcswithattitude.blogspot.com/ http://joyfulstamper.blogspot.com/2012/08/inspire-me-fridays-70-anything-goes.html http://simplycreatetoo.blogspot.com/2012/08/challenge-19-anything-goes.html

I got around to working on my thank you cards yesterday.   Now that my daughter is working I am watching the grandkids.   We are having lots of fun swimming and playing around the house.   I love these cuts for the art nouveau cartridge they turned out so nice, this is the flower on page 31.   The first one I fixed using the template at 365 cards sketch 151.  The paper pack is DCWV latte matstack and some Martha Stewart pearls. Thanks for stopping by hope you have a great week.

Yesterday I had a chance to work with my gypsy a while and get some cuts laid out from the Art Nouveau cart. These cuts are just wonderful and they turned out nice too. I prepared my machine with a new blade so that the thin cuts would come out well. I put them in my gypsy on different pages based on color. That way I could load one piece of paper at a time and gets lots of cuts, 9 in all. I did the same thing with the florals embellished cart and hope to get some good cuts from there in the next few days. In the next few days I will be putting together some cards. I noticed that the poppy and the rose are very different in the way they stand out. I will be inking all my edges on the next set, it really made a big difference. My church is having a fund raiser for a new building and I am making thank you cards.   Hope you enjoy this, these are beautiful cuts.   The rose on page 24 and the water lily on page 27 were cut at 2 inches; all the others were cut at 3 inch...
