MY GARDENS

I can not believe that I have that many posts. I didn't even put a counter on for the first 3 weeks or so. This is such fun, but I think I need to do more updating. Just want to put some of my thoughts down in black & white. So...here's what I'm thinking. I'm tired of the cold and I want to see the pretty spring flowers. Here's some from years past.

OTHER GARDENS

CABIN CRUISER

Here's a boat I created today for StephanieDoan. She needed a boat and didn't have one on a cart. I used George only for this one.

UMBRELLA

Here's a smiple umbrella design. I used HA, GBS and CC. It could easily become a beach umbrella by exchanging the handle with a post.

BASSINET BABY SHOWER FAVOR

I made this bassinet using George. The base is 2 x 3. It will hold some small candies, but it does rock when you put them in. You can apply the rockers so they are even with the base and then they won't rock. I like the rocking, but not sure it would be practical to use this way.

VALENTINE HEARTS & BORDERS

I've been working on borders for Valentines. When I read about the new scallop heart punch by Martha Stewart that's designed "not" to cut completely, I decided to do a scallop eyelet heart of my own. The scallop/eyelet portion is resizable, but you will have to resize the inner hearts, as I could not combine them to be resizable with the scallops. There are three borders in this file also. I used WIMG, GBS, SB & DC. SCREENSHOT CLOSE UP OF SCALLOP HEART

WHIMSICAL BIRTHDAY CAKE

Here's a file I designed today for teeseluvs2scrap. I used GBS & PDDU. I've included many layers so each layer can be cut seperately with or without a design on it. The cake pedestal can also be cut seperately. I'm including a photo of the "original" inspiration. THE ORIGINAL PHOTO MY FINISHED CAKES

I'M NO LONGER TETHERED!!!

My Cricut, Design Studio and I are now all portable. I can take DS anywhere I want to take it. My DH & DS got me a laptop(and it's cricut green)for Christmas and today I loaded DS and made my 1st cut. I'm so excited!!! After reading all the MB threads about not being able to put DS on more than one computer, I just wasn't sure if it was going to work. I really wanted to do this so I won't have to go up 2 flights of stairs from my scrap room to the computer. I want to do some catching up on my own scrap books right now and I think this will help me get it done. It's been awhile since my last post. I got very busy making Christmas cards and getting ready for the holidays. My oldest son and DIL stayed with us for 12 days, so I stayed pretty busy with them. Now I'm ready to get scrapping!!!
