Xacto and Elmers Product Try Out

Xacto and Elmers have sent me some product of theirs to try out. Being the avid crafter/cardmaker I am, I couldnt wait to get these. They arrived and I have video taped it for you to see with me.



This weekend either Sat. or Sun. I am going to get out a couple projects I'm working on and use these products on them. I will be video taping this as well. I can't wait. I have heard many good things about these items! I hope to see you back, we'll try them out together!

I went to Archivers yesterday to get the Graphic 45 Halloween in Wonderland pack and I got a few other things as well. So I thought I'd share.

Enjoy!

Halloween mini

So on a complete and total whim I decided to vodeo my halloween mini, well the start of it anyway!

Please keep in mind it's my first ever and I did it with my iphone so thats why it's skinny like that. From now on (until I get a better camera) I will video sideways to get a horzontal view.

Also i realize it's very dizzying in the beginning - I am trying to get the tags out of the wrong side of the album and put them in the right nside. But if you stick with it it gets much better I promise.

enjoy and if you have any sugestions on the album please comment.

TTFN,

Practicing Creativity Sketch Challenge - Your Dandy

So, over at Practicing Creativity, Courtney is having a challenge. She has her followers choosing between 3 sketches (incidently made by cards that her DT made to highlight her new stamp set) I knew right away I wanted to do this. Then I got to the bottom of the post and read that the winner will get a $50 in house spending spree for her store. She's so generous!

Here is the 2nd sketch ( I plan on doing all of them)
This one is Dana's:



and here is my take on it:



I am really having fun with these sketches. If you get a chance you should scoot on over there and check out the dt's cards - they are sooo talented! (I posted the link at the top)

Practicing Creativity Sketch Challenge - Your the Man

So, over at Practicing Creativity, Courtney is having a challnge. She has her followers choosing between 3 sketches (incidently made by cards that her DT made to highlight her new stamp set) I knew right away I wanted to do this. Then I got the bottom of the post and read that the winner will get a $50 in house spending spree for her store. She's so generous!

Here is the 1st sketch ( I plan on doing all of them)
This one is Courtney's:



and here is my take on it:



I like the card and how it turned out an all but I just feel like something's missing. And I spent waaaay to much time racken my brain about it. I started this card at like oh 5:30 am this morning having been up since 3am not being able to sleep. So at 9:30am I decided to let it go and be happy with it.

I hope you all like it.

I am going to take much needed nap now - lol
(I am using Practicing Creativity's stamp set - Your the Man) and also I used Lawn Fawn stamp set - Harold's ABC's for my boyfriends name, Jay.

Throw Back Thursday and Twisted Sketches Challenges

Emma over at My Creative Time has started a challenge for thursdays that incorperates using older Cricut Cartridges since there are so many new ones being sold now and they just keep coming! She calls it Throw Back Thursday's. I have been watching for the past 3 weeks, not being able to take part yet due to me and my 2 boys being sick. So I was so happy when I was able to participate this week. This week the challenge called for using the cartridge Doodlecharms. Below is what I came up with.

Also. . . over at Twisted Sketches they have challenge for scrapbook layouts every wednesday it seems. I just found this site today so I believe I read right that it's every wednesday and then they also have a card sketch challenge every Saturday.

Here's the sketch from Twisted Sketches:


And this is what I came up with: (this picture just does not do this justice at all - the colors are very bright and there's alot of detail missing from the picture) I guess I need to invest in a better camera. Clicking on the picture to see it larger lets you see more detail.


I had alot of fun with this challenge because although I should and always say I'm going to, I never scrapbook. So thank you Emma and thank you Twisted Sketches for the inspiration this week.
