Well I did some Easter cards for my grand babies and then sent them before I had a chance to get pics (there were packages to be sent and needed to rush). So hopefully I will work on something today or tomorrow, can't decide on birthday card for granddaughter or I've been looking at some neat card holders online I'd like to try. Then there is the explosion box that I should really get started on for mothers day....decisions, decisions. The pacas are going to get sheared on the 8Th of May so I will try to get some before and after pics. Before I had them I thought they looked pretty goofy after being sheared, now I kind of like it. Right now they are all wet as it is kind of snowing-raining out.
Have a good one!

Treats and Birthday cards

I have had several people ask about the treat pouches. Here is the web site where I got the idea from http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/dawns_stampin_studio/2008/09/diaper-fold.html as you can see it was again Dawn....she has lots of great videos. These are 6x6 like her video but she has also done some really cute 81/2 x 81/2 that would hold lots more.

I was a busy girl yesterday...I finished up some treat boxes I was making for hubby to take to work (10) and my sisters have birthdays 1 day apart so I made them both cards using the same idea but totally diffrent color schemes. Hope you like!

Natural task Light

Hey everyone, I was just looking for a good deal on a cuttlebug to add to my cricut, and when I went to the Joann site I saw that they had the Oti (or is it Ott?) light that is usually 90 for 30 and guess what color it is? Light Green:)

Card Holder

Did this turn out too cute or what! It is to hold my finished cards and envelopes....or I could give it to someone with a set of cards....hmmm we'll see. I got the matching pen idea from http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/ with the RSVP pens you can unscrew the end and insert matching paper. Finally something I finished and didn't think afterwards that I should have done something different. The front is a little pocket that you could put your postage stamps in. You could probably use it for a little Easter treat basket too.
Love it!

Pacas

Here are some pics we took of the Pacas the other day...some of the grass is just starting to green up so we let them out for a little bit to graze around.... .

New projects

Hi all,

I finally got some more things done today. 2 cards that are my version of a card I saw made on http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/ I tried to cut the stars with my cricut....had a little trouble putting them exactly where I wanted but since I didn't have a star punch I think it worked OK. I think they would be good for guy cards since I'm always wanting to do ribbon, and buttons and flowers. Also I did a page for our little sweetie Kaylee. It was kind of nice to do a summer picture when its so cold right now.

Paper Drawers

Walmart paper drawers finally came in so hopefully I will be doing some organizing tomorrow. Doing site to store was like getting a set for free, hmmmmm....wonder if I should get more?

Yesterdays Pages

Here are the pictures from yesterday. Makes me miss the grandkids...they are all so cute! Going to have to get some pictures of the youngest. I don't have any pages of her yet.

Went out to take care of the Alpacas this morning and thought how nice it was not to trudge through the snow....the whole yard is clear now. Of course it doesn't mean we won't have more...hubby won't let me put out the hose yet because we will still have some freezing weather so I'm still hauling water by hand.

Grandma

I did a layout of my grandma today and also 2 pages for Easter. Feeling like I actually got something acomplished. Still waiting for Walmart site to store to get my paper drawers. The store was out so I did site to store about a week ago.....by the time they get here the store will probably have them again! I will take some pictures of the pages I did tomorrow.

Old Supplies

Well after getting 2 new Cricut cartridges today (Paper dolls and Home Accents) and a silent setter for little grommets (special at Roberts for 1.99, had to ask if that was the right price, I love to find a bargain!) I did a scrapbook page and didn't use any of it. I'm trying to use up my old supplies and I had an old header that said Summer Days so I did a page with my GD and GS playing in the sprinkler. I'll try to get it up loaded tomorrow as it is very late now. I also found a neat box to store and dispense ribbon at Walmart. I'll try and show you that too.

Won't have much time today I am going to St George to meet up with hubby, today is his come home day, yeah! Of course going to St. George means I might have time to go by Michaels Crafts...hmmmm what do I need. And it also means a good dinner out as there is not much selection in my little town. It was a big adjustment when we moved here to not be able to go to all our favorite restaurants. We were use to CA where any type of food was just minutes away. There are a couple of places here that are good...just not the big selection we were used to having......and salad I sure miss the fresh crispy salad. What I do find strange is that avocados which come from CA are about 1.50 in CA and .50 here. Go figure.

Our First Baby

Here is a picture of our first baby alpaca (cria) can you see why I love em so much! His name is Black Odyessy and we call him Odie for short. He is almost 6 months so he will be having to leave the girls soon.

Day 1

Today I decided to start blogging about scrapping and alpacas and anything else that is going on in my life. It may seem like a strange combo but since my grandchildren have moved away these seem to be the 2 things that keep me busy.

I just bought a new cricut last week and after several years of not scrapping (I will get into the why not of that at a later date, maybe) I am totally motivated again. I have the 2 new cartridges that come with the expresion machine but have ordered 2 more and can't wait till they get here. So far I have made some bags and a couple of scrapbook pages, but I also plan on using it to make a banner and some signs for our Alpaca ranch. I am going to post pics of the few things I've done and hopfully you will see some progress as I get better.
