Silhouette Cameo Video Series (9/23/12)

September 24, 2012

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I was really on the ball Saturday and got today’s Silhouette Cameo Series video ready. I usually wait until the last minute and panic but this one I needed to have ready as we had a birthday party to go to last night for my twin nieces and I also had to work in the afternoon on Sunday.
I made these cute little gift boxes and bows for the girls. They loved them. Especially the bows…they are getting to the age now where they appreciate handmade and I was trilled to see them gathering up the cards, boxes and bows to take to their rooms.

Did anyone see where I saved the photos of the completed boxes and bowes on my computer? I did have them because I used them at the end of the video but I don’t know where they went? hmmm

Thanks everyone for stopping by, I appreciate all your love and comments. Have a great day!
Hugs and happy crafting,
Christina

September 21, 2012

Hi Everyone,
Happy Stampin’ on Friday πŸ™‚
Oh my goodness I went to Hobby Lobby last night πŸ™‚ I’m so happy I don’t have to drive an hour now to get to one, just a 5 minutes drive from the house. This might not be a good thing. lol
Thanks for the tip on the Hobby Lobby app πŸ™‚

Ready for today’s video???

Here is a picture of the finished bookmark
Below I linked to the supplies. I couldn’t find online the 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 punches that I used in the video but I did find some close to it. You can always of course cut these out with your Cricut or Silhouette.Β 
I can’t believe I have the house to myself today. I’m off to work on some Project Life and to make next weeks Silhouette video. Have a great day everyone.Β 
Hugs and happy crafting πŸ™‚

Halloween Card

September 11, 2012

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday’s project was a card made using the Cameo and I wanted to share with you today another version of this card I made for Halloween.Β I added a simple Halloween banner from the Silhouette store since I haven’t dragged out my fall crafting stuff yet.

The awesome Terri one of my blog followers came up with a great name for the Silhouette series….Ready…..Cameo Appearance. I love it, it’s perfect for the new series. Thank you so much Terri for the great name to the series.

Here is a link to the first video in the series if you missed it yesterday πŸ™‚

Have a great day everyone.
Hugs, Christina

Silhouette Video (Birthday Wishes)

September 10, 2012

Hi Everyone,
Oh I think I’m going to have a good time working on these videos. I love love love playing with my Silhouette Cameo…Did I mention I love it? lol

Today is the very first video in the series. I’ll be adding a link to this series on the right had side as well as under “video series” on the menu bar as soon as I figure out what I want to really name the series. I’m taking suggestions πŸ™‚

Ready for the first video? You can also make this card using the Silhouette SD, you might just need to cut it out on two mats.

Here is a picture of the finished card. I’m going to make a Halloween version of this card too, I’ll post that one tomorrow.

I used this image by Carte Belle from the Silhouette store to create today’s shaped card.

I hope you liked today’s video.
Here is a link to all the Silhouette Tutorials I did a few months ago that are more detailed on how to use the Cameo and the Silhouette program.
Have a great Sunday/Monday.
Hugs and happy crafting,
Christina

Stampin' On Friday (8/7/12) Happiest of Birthdays

September 7, 2012

Hi Everyone,
What a day yesterday…I ended up having to make an unexpected trip to the dentist right after work as my left side of my face was just not right. The past few days when I get up I’m fine and then as the day goes on my cheek starts to feel hot and sore…I thought for sure it was a bad bad tooth, turns out it’s stress related and I have to wear my “appliance” (I picture a toaster every time he asks if I’m wearing my appliance, but it’s really a guard for grinding teeth) now during the day. My jaw muscle on the left side is so tense and knotted that it’s actually causing my cheek to feel like its hot. I’m happy it’s just stress. Did I just say I’m happy to be stressed?

Okay on today’s card.
This ones for my mother in law…lots of birthday in August and September.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Anniversary Card

September 6, 2012

Hi Everyone,
Today’s card is an Anniversary Card I made for Scott. Today (Thursday if you are reading this on Wednesday evening) we are celebrating our 15th anniversary πŸ™‚

Here is the card I made him. Scott has all the cards I’ve ever made him hanging all around his office. I love that he loves my homemade cards.
A little bit about this card. It’s a standard A2 (4-1/4 x 5-1/2) card.
The heart section of this card is a cut from a Silhouette Store file that is really meant for Project Life but I stretched it out to a card front. Here is a picture of the 3×4 heart life cards

Whenever I need to make a masculine card I’m always reaching for thisΒ Authentique 6×6 paper pad (Loyal).Β The colors are perfect. I used 3 different patterns as layers on the card.

For the inside of the card I used an Ali Edwards stamp called Bring on the Love (sorry no picture) It’s listed below in the supplies list and was the January stamp for Ali Edwards monthly subscription club. TwoPeas has it on sale 50% off. CLICK HERE. Β They also have on sale the October set from last year called Give Thanks. CLICK HERE. Can’t beat a 50% off sale. A complete list of supplies listed below.
Have a great day everyone,
See you back here tomorrow (Friday) for Stampin’ on Friday
Hugs and happy crafting,
Christina

Project Life 2012 (Weeks 27-29)

September 3, 2012

Hi Everyone,

Today’s video is an update on my Project Life Album. As you might remember from a few weeks ago I thought about giving up the whole project life album. I just felt overwhelmed but with lots of encouragement from my fabulous scrappy friends (thats you all) I’m feeling much better and I’m right now caught up to week 32 and I’m soooo in the Project Life groove.

Β This video will show you my “I’m not doing PL anymore” phase.
