Here's the deal, my curiosity was killing me about the new Cricut Explore, I held out as long as I could and finally broke down and bought one a week or so ago. There are a ton of mixed reviews, but so far I think it's pretty nice. I'm impressed with it's precise cuts and ease of use. I do feel that Silhouette Studio Designer Edition has the edge, as far as creative freedom. The main reason, I choose to upgrade, is because I own sooooo many cartridges. So far so good. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a while, but I'm still here! I've been doing a lot more creating this year and a lot less posting (as if that's actually possible). I can never seem to find the right balance for the two. So, I've decided to just do what i can do and that's that. How is everyone enjoying this beautiful new year? Every now and then, I do take a quick peek and see all the lovely things you're all creating and wow, just gorgeous!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've been working on a healthy lifestyle in our home, which includes clean eating & a lot more movement... yoga, P90X workouts, walking, running, bicycling, etc. It feels amazing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pic's of what I've been up to this year, which includes learning and trying my hand at some mixed media. Hope you like it, I'm addicted for sure.</div>

Hi Everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all enjoying your Saturday. I've been to our local farmers market today, for the weekly vegi's. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday, I managed to finish up my latest project and took the pic's this morning to share with you. Since the TP gift-wrap surprise was such a hit with my mom and her friends, I just had to make some for Christmas. </div>

They're light enough to hang on the tree if you'd like. They'd be great to fill with candies, nuts or even some moolah ;) </div>

My balloon body's are part Nestabilities circles & part hand cut. The ends of the balloons are also hand cut, with some bakers twine tied to them. Then I just added some hand-stamped, embossed tags. It took less than 20 mins to make all four cards. Quick and easy! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi, Happy Sunday! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. I've graduated from reorganizing my craft space/supplies, to reorganizing the entire house, garage and potting shed. My husband's reluctantly on board, but I'm sure he wishes I still had my day job :):):) I've ordered a small dumpster so we could purge, all the years of unnecessary collecting. We've already made 2 donation trips to our local goodwill and I'm sure there will be more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OK, so here's a simple little card idea I had before falling asleep one night and since I actually remembered it in the morning, I decided to bring it to life! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The couple, their black bow ties and heart are all covered in super fine glitter. Sure wish I would've captured that a bit better, it really makes it look adorable. Everything was cut via CCR, with my Cricut Expression. The entire couple is popped up for a 3D effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello and Happy Monday!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How was your weekend? I see everyone has been very busy making fabulous things!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week, for me, was all about reorganizing, sorting and, as hard as it is, purging through all my craft supplies. I'm hoping to have it all wrapped up today, but it is 8 years of stuff. It's quite interesting to see how my taste has changed, since I began crafting back in 2006. My DH was very helpful, he ran out and bought clear plastic bins, made labels for the bins, drawers, folders and moved the heavy stuff for me. I'm looking forward to having this project completed, it feels so good to get things reorganized and to get rid of excess. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a couple of July Christmas cards. I was inspired by seeing everyone else's fun July Christmas cards. They're made of all scraps and recycled Christmas cards. You can't see it in the picture, but the poinsettias, are behind a clear, acetate window. Recycle and reuse :):):) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A little unknown tidbit about me :) I was raised in California, but I'm originally from New York. Although I don't recall much about living in N.Y., I still have some family there and affection for the state. I would also love to visit some day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, a good friend of my mothers, recently traveled there for a wedding and had asked me to create, a New York skyline, wedding card and here's what I came up with!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Everyone! Hope you had a nice long weekend :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I've been itching to make some things from empty tp rolls and I had picked up a little something for my mom (shhh!!! It's a surprise) I decided to make her a fun little package. This is my version of this sweet little package made by <a href="http://beckyshander.com/blog/?p=7538" target="_blank">Becky Shander at Art & Illumination</a>. Thank you, Becky!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IC_0xsb-78Y/U73XTSpSeuI/AAAAAAAAC78/SXZExLBkyI8/s1600/IMG_4235.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IC_0xsb-78Y/U73XTSpSeuI/AAAAAAAAC78/SXZExLBkyI8/s1600/IMG_4235.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First... I cut the bottom of the tp roll with a victorian cut, sewed that end shut, inked the edge of the top & bottom. Hot glued some scrap burlap all the way around the middle. Added 4 paper flowers secured with a polka-dot brad to the front center of the burlap. Punched eyelet sized holes at the top, sides of the open end and set eyelets to hold the wire handle. Added some washi tape above and below the burlap strip for some added fun. <br />
<br />
Hope you like it!</div>

My awesome cousin graduated high school this month... Woohooo, David!!! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made him this simple little graduation card, used my Cricut Expression and the cartridges "Classroom - June & July" , "Plantin Schoolbook" & "CCR Basics". The 2014 is popped up with foam tape for a nice 3D effect.<br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>MY VALENTINE!!!</b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Late as always. Would you believe that in real life, I'm one of the most punctual people ever. I'm actually kind of anal about being on time, but when it come to keeping up my blog, I am never on time. That's what happens when one just has too much on their plate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I'm happy to announce that, I'll be retired in a couple weeks.... So I'll be able to free my artistic soul and have more time to blog about it :):):)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OK! On with my tardy share...<br />
Here's what I used for this creation: <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/popupboxcard/" target="_blank">Splitcoaststampers Pop-up Box Card Tutorial</a>, my <a href="http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/machines/item-number/silhouette%20cameo-3t" target="_blank">Silhouette Cameo</a>, the Silhouette <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=54791" target="_blank">I Mustache You To Be My Valentine (shape set)</a> and the Silhouette <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=54397" target="_blank">Nested Hearts (shape set)</a>. Oh, I almost forgot an embossing folder, glitter, swirly rubber stamps and thin strips of recycled, clear acetate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was loads of fun to make and I'm so happy with the way it turned out.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Addicted to NASCAR or perhaps there's a wonderful man in your life who is? <br />
Well we are and for my DH's 50th, I bought him a NASCAR experience at Auto Club Speedway, where he'll learn to drive a real NASCAR all on his own. Naturally I needed a super fun Birthday card to go with his gift. I instantly remembered this cute little monster digi, I colored in a Copic class given by <a href="http://www.scrapweaver.com/about" target="_blank">Michelle Houghton</a> and thought he'd be an excellent place to begin. I added the checkered flags, to make the little cutie race ready ;) </div>

Awesome Reusable Tags!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes it's true, I've been published <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 16.866666793823242px;">in </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Josefin Sans'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.399999618530273px;">Cricut Magazine® Cards Idea Book Dec 2013</span> and I'm so excited to finally be able to share the news with my crafty friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a project I'd posted previously, some of you may remember. I was asked to pull it from all websites for a certain amount of time and now I am able to share it again :):):)<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's another 1st.... A video about my tags.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Awesome Reusable Tags:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Tags and flowers were created in CCR and cut using my Cricut
Expression with Art Philosophy cartridge.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Inks, stickles & rock candy crackle paints by Tim Holtz.
Tattered Angles (for shimmer)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Vintage seam binding ribbon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Sewing, ball chain, eyelet, background rubber stamp.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">For the reusable pocket, I cut up an Avery brand, protector
sheet and sewed it on. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">You can also add rhinestones or brads in the center of your
flowers, instead of stickles, for a different look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wishing you a super fun & artistic day!</div>

Holy cow... Where did this year go?!!! Each year seems to go by quicker and quicker, t's amazing. I'v hardly had a chance to do anything creative this year. I've even had numerous custom requests that I had to turn down.</div>
