Thanksgiving day Cards

My Thanksgiving Day Cards!

I am so sorry I havent posted in a while, but with the holiday it has been crazy around here.  I am so happy my nephew Richard is home with us after two long years and I could not have asked for a better gift!  I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday as well. On to our project:

So I did not feel like cutting paper to make my cards (kind of last minute) so I used my Imagine to color and cut them it made my job super fast and easy.  I used another cricut lite cart the Celebrate with Flourish this cart has come in very handy recently. I also made up my own RGB codes for these super cute turkeys.

Here is the recipe:

My Imagine

Celebrate with Flourish(cricut lite cart)

RGB codes:

gold-218-165-32

brown-139-69-19

black 0-0-0

orange-255-165-0

Turkeys were cut at 2.5in

Cuttlebug folder (leaves)

butterfly stickers

stickles

Leaf ribbon ( dont know from where)

Kraft cardstock

Thanks for stopping by and looking have a wonderful and safe holiday season.

I am loving these new cricut lite carts, and only 20.00 that is a great deal, I really had a problem pay 40.00 for a lite cart when we can get the full carts for much less on line.  So here are the new ones that were released today. By the way I convienced my husband to get up the morning after Thanksgiving to go get me some carts.  I cant wait for that. So without futher ado here they are:



















I think the jazz dance and the christmas one is calling my name! Which ones will you get?  Leave a comment on this post to let me know!

Walmart Black Friday Deal!

Walmart Black Friday Ad:

I almost never go to Black Friday sales , my husband usually does, but when I seen this ad, I might have to drag myself out of bed!  Maybe I will talk my husband into going for me (he he!). I also noticed when looking at this ad that these are not the cricut lite carts that are already out they are NEW!  I have been waiting for these to go down, I think I might have to get 2 or 4 LOL!   I am also loving the lime green expression and the aqua I have to really stick to my budget and not get one of those, that will be really hard though, now onto the Ad:



Have a wonderful day!

Teresa Collins Stampmaker!

Here is the video for the Teresa Collins Stampmaker.  After making this video I decided to go ahead and make a sentiment stamp which I will this weekend.  I hope you like these two videos I think this machine is going to be alot of fun when I figure out how to get the transparency paper working properly, it is probably operator error! LOL

Keep checking back for more videos and fun in the upcoming week, I have a giveaway to post this week also and you wont want to miss that!


Have a wonderful day!
