Just Cant "Imagine"

I don't know if I really want one or just want what everyone else has. Or even maybe just to be one of the first! I just finished paying off my expression and bought a new car that I have saved forever to get, So I am going to be happy with my choice and get over feeling bad or left out about it, I also realized it would take a lot joy out of crafting for me. I enjoy doing all of things that it shortcuts!

I am happy for all the Ladies that received theirs, to feel right about getting one I would first have to sale my Expression.  And even then, and if it did sale, the bundle will no longer be available, I would also have to learn another system.  I talked myself down to reality.   It looks like it takes a while to deal with....

This is what I will keep telling myself...I was happy before, I will be happy after!

Now that the looser talk is over...

On another note: Did you see the new Singer sewing Machine, OOOOhhh, That DID get my attention!

Your a Hoot!!!

Scraps 

Paper Studio Texture Card Stock

Hero Arts Mini Stamp set

Martha Stewart Ink

3 Large Purple Gems

Martha Stewart White Pen

Tag maker~ My tags

                                  So pretty tags

                         (or whats left of them)

I have used most of them, but here's what I have already done.  I also love painting up my plain silver rims with alcohol ink to match! 

                       ***Money Saver Alert***

You don't really have to buy the Tag maker tool, these are just supposed to be pressed, They are only tin, so it don't take much pressure, I'm sure  you probably already have a couple tools to do that with.

Keep you plastic packaging!  Use your Cuttlebug or Sizzix to Emboss it, And Color from the back with Bic Marks It~!  I adore these tied into a card, and/or tucked in a pocket!  Place in your rim and Squash it together~BEAUTIFUL!~

Thank You Card for new dentist

My Middle Little one is an Emotional child, Our regular dentist is wonderful for the rest of us, But he has no idea how to treat this one...But we found a blessing with her new dentist!  She never got angry with my daughter, never even broke a sweat.  My little one had a great time with her!  I took pics after she was done, and look! Is that a SMILE on her face around the gauze? Why I believe that it is!!! Wha Hoo!

Tooth Child's Year Cricut Cartridge

Made my own stamp with Cricut and cheap sticky foam!

So excited about this!!!...

***Money Saver Alert***

It was late and I was tired, this is my first try, its the thin stuff.  I used my Deep cutting blade and multicut sitting. I still  had to do it a couple times, Pay attention to the #settings to remember where to start on the next cut. (Write it down!) 

I used two layers for mount and just one for the key, so next time I will make a couple more and layer them so that the image will be much better!  Anyway, Im so excited about it and plan on making a ton more!!!

Experiment worked lovely!

***Money Saver Alert***

Use clear embossing powder with pigment inks!  You get the color for less! You don't have to buy/store more embossing powder! Pigment ink takes longer to dry, you have plenty of time to get it covered!

Mix a small amount of embossing powder with your glitter  if you want that effect, buying glitter-embossing is just craziness!  : )
