Amy E said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REXANN!!!!! I hope you had a fabulous day today and that all your birthday wishes came true! Tomorrow is my son's birthday...his 30th! Ugh...I feel old!

I love both your Mickey projects! The house in the shadowbox...was that cut from the Mickey cartridge too? I don't have that one, but a friend does, so I want to take a closer look at it! Do you have a tutorial on your tri-shutter card? It's stunning!

Cute Interactive Snowman

Hi all!!  I have joined Robin  over at robinscreativecottage linking up party to share my most favorite card I made in 2011!!

Thanks for visiting my blog. I am so grateful to have so many good Blogger Friends!

I wanted you to see to cutest Snowman card That I have ever made!A good friend shared it with me earlier in the week. She learned it from a SU demonstrator that she takes classes from every Tuesday.I have to tell you that I have been making them  non stop every chance I can,between working and house work. I used Mothers Day Bouquet cartridge,brads, the face stamp is a  Stampin up stamp That I believe is no longer available . 2 of the brads are what make the snowman swivel The hardest thing is to get everything lined up straight.I recommend making an extra middle circle and cut it in half and use as a guide to line up your three buttons and to put them all on before you stick to the scalloped circle.

So here are the cuts from the Cricut....3 Circles from MDB, last Image on the overlay.

Circle: small..2 1/4", medium 3", Large 3 3/4"

Scalloped Circle that I used is second row, fourth in: Small. 2 3/4", Medium. 3 1/2". Large. 4 1/4" You can really dress them up how ever you like. I used 2 hearts and a small circle for the bow tie The hat is a 1 1/2 inch square and I rounded the two corners the brim is a punch from SU. Googly eyes some shimmer chalk for the cheeks. I also used some tule that my other good friend gave me and I think it looks great on the hat. I took a picture of MR.&MRS together!!

Hope you liked my snowman and woman and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to answer them for you!! I would do a video tutorial , but I would not know how to go about it and I am  camera shy! Thanks for visiting and Remember that The 19th of November I am having A very fun Blog hop to celebrate Me and Mickey mouse's Birthday!!

I.Got the shadow box at joann's. I can't remember the size cuts I did? Sorry!

My other Project is this card that is called a Tri-Shutter card and it was made with some clip art, mickey buttons and an action wobble...I have learned how to make the action wobbles with a little hot glue, small circle punch and wire..Very easy and if interested let me know and I can give you more instructions!

Making more Christmas cards

Hi sweet blog Friends!!

I have made a few more Christmas cards and Love both the stamps! The kitty snowman I got from a stamping store that was going out of Business, and there is no company name on it. So cute!! very simple and few embellishments. Don't ya just love the colors!

The next set of cards are a cute little dogie and this stamp is one I won on a blog hop. It is called Pepper's Christmas Party "Sing Along" By Helz Cuppleditch . I know some of you are wondering who is that? I think it is a company in the UK? Not sure. I used some brads that I got at the Oriental Trading online. It is a very inexpensive place to buy brads and things. I used  the Santa brad on one and candy cane brad and buttons.

some bakers twine and a glitter pen. 

I am entering my Dog cards in More than favors, Wacky Wednesday#58 B.B.B

which is buttons,bling,Brads challenge.Hope every ones week is going good!!

Little late on posting...

I wanted to share some photo's from Halloween and My Good little Girl Kitty dressed up as a Bee! She is really a good sport!! She will pose until I take the costume off and She is very Photogenic!

The next one is my Halloween card that is  the same Idea as my snowmen cards that swivel.
 http://ibecircled.blogspot.com/2011/10/cute-interactive-snowman.html

Last but not least, Is a couple of photo's that I snapped from my front door of a couple treaters,  I was amazed at All the 15 and 16 year old ones and how they were very under dressed. It was a very cold evening and I am sure that this guy is going to end up with a cold!!

This little one is so cute!!

Ok so Is everyone ready for the 19th of this month??
I am and I thought it would be fun to do a Giveaway for the excitement of my birthday blog hop!! Mickey is so excited that he has told me to do a surprise giveaway!!  So I am leaving this opened until the 10th of November! It is going to be something that you will love and I am sure that you can use it!! Leave me a comment (I love getting comments and read everyone of them!!) and let me know if you are going to be celebrating my birthday with me! That's all!
