May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

My first Spinner Card and some layouts
In reading through my fellow crafter's blogs tonight, I came across Michelle's tutorial at Scrappin with My Bug on how to make Spinner Card.... so I had to try it! :-)
Not too shabby for my first one!! It was actually very easy to make, thanks to Michelle's instructional video!!!! I need to work on my measurements a bit (my spinner pops off every now and then), but I love it!
I also wanted to share two quick layouts that I'm super-proud of!
The first is one of last Easter when I was in PA with my family there. We held a little family Easter egg hunt for my cute niece, so this is my layout for that event.
This second one is my favorite one that I've done so far! The photos are from Christmas 2009 in PA when my niece was only one and a half.... and my husband started dipping her pacifier in the icing that we were using to decorate the gingerbread houses. Needless to say, he quickly became her favorite person of the day!! :-)
I hope y'all are having a happy, crafting evening! Thanks for stopping by!
An FYI Video about Using BIA wires with a Cinch
I didn't know if the wires made especially for the Bind-It-All would line up correctly with my Cinch binding tool.... so I tried it and made a video for whoever may have the same question I did. :-)
Haul Video
Here's a video to share some of my recent finds!! :-) Sorry about the wacky volume and the low volume on my voice. I dunno why that happened because I was standing right next to the mic. :-(

A Few Cards and some Hauls!
This week, I have once again been spoiled AND productive!
On Monday, hubby took me to Joann's and I got some basics (since all of their papercrafting supplies were 40% off!) like glue, pop-dots, a punch, and some papers. Then, after seeing some great videos about the capabilities of Make-the-Cut, he told me to download it (mostly because he wants to see if I can make him a Jacksonville Jaguars logo!!) and then today, my order from CricutMachine.com that I placed last week arrived!
So, here's what I got from CricutMachine.com:
and with it came a free set of scissors!
YAY for new stuff to play with!
So today, I've spent a bit of time in my craft room! I started a project using Birthday Bash. I completed a birthday card using Cindy Loo (but I can't share that one yet!) and I made a "thinking of you" card for Aidan! I'll share both of those soon.
A few nights ago, Jon had to work super-late (as in, he didn't get home until 4am), so I completely lost myself in my room and went to town! I completed a few layouts and a few cards, but I am MOST proud of a new style of card that I learned how to make (thanks to YouTube!). I have always admired these cards when I've seen others posting about it and finally, I can make them! SO MUCH EASIER than I thought it'd be!
As much as I'd love to say that I'll be in my craft room for the rest of the weekend to break in all of my newest additions, sadly, I won't. Well, not sadly because it's for a great reason! My uncle (who has been working in central Florida) is going to be coming to visit us tomorrow and spending tomorrow night, so I will need to be cleaning the house and getting ready for his visit and then we'll be out and about tomorrow night. Hopefully on Sunday though, I'll be in here all day!
I hope everyone has a very happy, sunny, and productive weekend!!! Happy crafting!!!
