I am having way too much fun with this Create a Critter cartridge! I may never use the rest of my carts again! (I'm kidding!)
This card was so very easy! I used some scraps from the DCWV Nana's Nursery stack for the background and the stamp is from Stampin Up!
I sat down and made a few different animals at about 3 1/2" and put them all together. The next evening I came back and went through my paper and designed the card. For me, this works best because when I make a card, I like to have all of my supplies ready to go.
Well PC has done it again! They released 5 more cartridges that I just cannot live without! Oh my poor pocketbook! I don't know the release date just yet, but will update you as soon as I find out!
Happy Hauntings

I recently purchased the Martha Stewart Scoreboard and I really like. However, I did not like the fact that the project dimensions were inside the bone folder compartment - on top of the lid where you couldn't possibly read them while working on a project.
Well, I have a solution. I have created a PDF file of the project dimensions that you can simply print, cut and tape to your Scoreboard. Also, for those of you who don't like to read the tiny print, I have created a full page reference with the same info.
So earlier today I told you about Teresa Collins' new Stampmaker machine. Well I wanted to give you some added information that I came across on the 2Peas Messageboard.
According to Amy at The Paper Life, "the machine will retail for $169.99 and consumables for each stamp will be about a $1 ohh and no computer is needed to run the machine".
Another CHA Sneak Peek for you...Teresa Collins Stampmaker

I just wanted to share a CHA Sneak Peek that I discovered this morning... These are new stamps from Tim Holtz! My guess is that they coordinate with his Ticket Sizzix Die too - wouldn't that be AMAZING!! These are a MUST HAVE for me!
He has quite a few new stamp sets coming out. Here are the links if you would like to check them out:
I wanted to share a layout that I made for the My Pink Designer call. I was not chosen as one of her designers, so I'm hoping its now okay to post my project :) For this layout I used:
Once Upon a Princess for the doll. Peachy Keen Stamps Princess Face Assortment for her face. Cricut Plantain Schoolbook cartridge for the waves Cricut Create a Critter for everything else.
I have to say that I was really surprised at how many different cuts are on the Create a Critter cartridge. It has quickly become one of my favorite cartridges!
