Hello everyone..well 2010 seems like it flew right on by. I can't wait to see what 2011 holds for me. For 2011 I hope to make at least one card a week. Rather it be using my Cricut or just using some of my stamps I have. I Hope to post more on my blog. I would love to reach 100 followers. I'm working on a give away for my followers who have stuck by me, even though I didn't post every week. I'm gonna work really hard in 2011 to post more. I love creating an sharing what I make with my craft friends :). I'm going to try my hand at quilting this new year. I love quilts and I have so much fabric that has been handed down to me from other quilters in my family. I want to give it a try. So hopefully I will be able to share that with you. Also I would like to thank all my followers and to my new friends for a great year of crafting. I can't wait to see what the new year holds for all of us in the crafting world ;)
I hope everyone has a Safe & Fun New Year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Lots of Hugs, Sheena
A place to share projects I make with my Cricut E, Explore, Updates on Little Man, Recipes here and there, and maybe some beauty products I love.

MPS "Color Challenge" 12 Days Christmas
Here is my entry for My Pink Stamper Challenge for this challenge you had to make something and use 2 different shades of Pink, 2 different shades of Blue & use Black. Okay I made a pretty big gift tag..the gift tag is cut at 5 3/4 inches..in the picture it doesn't look that big..but it is. All the other decorations are cut from 1 3/4 inches to 2 1/2 inches..now for the tag part I didn't do the layers like it shows I made the background layer at 5 1/2 inches and the shadow layer 5 3/4 inches. I also cut paper squares at 1 1/2 inches using my Paper cutter..I glued them all down on a piece of printer paper (cause its thin) then cut the tag out ..I think it turned out cute. Kinda like a quilt...I did faux stitching with a black pen..that is my black part of the entry. Also snowman arm, eyes, mouth and tree trunk all done with black.
I Used:
DCWV pattern paper from 2009 Christmas stack
Wausau cardstock
Winter Frolic cart- Tag, Snowman & Warmth & Joy
Black Pen
* the Blue & Pink seem really dark..but they aren't that dark
Thanks for all the Nice comments!! Thanks for looking!

Throwback Thursday Challenge
Here is my Shape card I made for the Throwback Thursday Challenge at My Creative Time. The challenge was to make a "Shape" card and had to have the color orange some where on the card. Also use Create A Critter or any older cart. My card is very simple..I don't make shape cards unless there is already a card shape function like Wild Card has. I can never get the sizing right on the shadow and all the other features/layers. So today I gave it a go. It took me a bit an a few mess ups, but I think it turned out pretty good. Its simple for me since its my first time making a shape card..so I left it simple with not a lot of detail. One of these days with lots more practice..I'm sure I'll make all kinds with lots of detail :) I better get back to working on some shape cards :)
I Used:
Wausau Cardstock
Create A Critter
just some brown ink for inking the edges
Thanks for Looking! Have a great Fall weekend everyone :)
