A Card To Share

This is not for any challenges but for a promotion.  I signed up to be included in The Out of the Box Sampler for the month of July, September and November boxes.  July is here and gone. But there are 2 more months that I am participating in.  Michelle has a great idea going over there on her site.  You have to check it out............  but anyhow.............  I am making some card samples to put in the box for September.  Below is a picture of one of the cards............   I used a simple technique called quilling.  I started a picture a while back and am still working on it.  I am pretty new to quilling but will be exploring this wonderful paper craft further on my blog as well.

Thanks for Looking!!!!

What Will Cricut Come Up With Next???

It is here...  the Cricut Imagine.  It prints and cuts with a touch of a button all in one machine.  No need to use a computer or printer.  It use to be a pain staking process with several steps to print then cut. Cricut answered the call and came out with a brand new machine that does it all.

From BusinessWire.com:


“Cricut Imagine is not only unique to the crafting industry, but to the world of technology. There is not another device that incorporates printing and cutting the way this machine does,” said Jim Thornton, CEO of Provo Craft. “The pairing of print and cut technology could only be done by the leaders in each category—HP and Provo Craft. We’re eager to see what our customers can now do with a simple sheet of white paper and Cricut Imagine print-and-cut technology.”

“HP is always expanding its personal publishing portfolio with new products and services that inspire and enable creativity among individuals and families,” said Kathy Tobin, Vice President and General Manager, Specialty Printing Systems Division, HP. “Cricut customers can benefit from high-quality Original HP ink to achieve unique and professional results.”

Boo Book Free SVG file

Good morning.  Hope your weekend went well.  Mine sure did.  Me and my BF took a 3 hour dinner cruise on a river boat Sunday night.  It was so nice.  Then we watched a water fountain show on shore.  The fountain show was like your light shows with music but done with water instead.  It was too cool.

Anyhow..  I am here again with a free svg file.  It is a "BOO" word book for the upcoming Halloween season.  Enjoy
