Hope you have been working on some too and please if you want - send me a pic and I will post it on here too!

Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge for ghosts & Cuttin' Up for the word on a platter tray from Target

isn't she cute. I used stickles, stamp words from CTMH, paper from SU, peachy keen stamp face and some twine.  The witch is from Mini Monsters cartridge

Thanksgiving cartridge and along with epoxy stickers created this cute sign bought at hobby lobby for cheap.  The sign was already colored - I just added the words and stickers.  NOW you can create your OWN signs!! Martha Stewart Seasonal cake art & Printing 101 were also used

Car Decal cartridge used for the words with rub-ons created this cute sign cut from thin cardboard from Elegant Edges cartridge.  The Apple is from making the Grade cartridge.

Mini Monsters cartridge, buttons for his ears.  A dobber into ink and onto paper made a cute background under his googly eyes.  I used the SU inkpad the spectrum colors for Fall.

embossing folders and the cartridge - Mini Monsters.  Embossing folders are all from Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots for his body, Spots & Dots for his tummy.  Mini Monsters (is a set) for the background.

embossing folder; Thanks for the leaves and the words on box with rafia tied around the box - from Easter 2010 cartridge.   The leaf and then embossed is from a set called: Maple leaf from Cuttlebug. 
A check for some employees were place inside  - another cute way to gift wrap.

paper (yummy is it not!) and vinyl words - the other side has the Happy Anniversary.... on a plain white bag. Birthday Bash cartridge used.

vinyl  (from Oh My Crafts) used on the walls in church.  Printing 101 cartridge used.   There are many more sayings in our church and more to come.   The theme is LOVE...

So... What have YOU been working on??  Would Love to see :)   Are you all ready to meet again and play???  Let me know!

Matthew 25;40 vinyl on wall....

Plantin Schoolbook was used.  I planned it out on my Gypsy on a 12x24 mat.  I used the black vinyl.

I pulled the excess vinyl off (picture below).  Go slow.....  weeding is then next.  I actually cut out the excess vinyl (before peeling off) as this gives me some extra vinyl for smaller projects.

see all this extra vinyl that was pulled off...  it's so sticky! making sure that the sticky vinyl is AWAY from your current project.  hint.. hint..

UP.. up.. up.. on the wall the vinyl saying went....  I still have the transfer tape attached to the vinyl saying.  

see.. I'm still up there.  pull the transfer tape off very slowly.  have a credit card or use your fingers to rub the transfer tape.   take your time....

all done.  Aren't these words of Jesus beautiful!

WEEDING:  is taking the vinyl off your project (slowly) and then taking either a small needle, or any small pointy object and pulling all the extra vinyl from in between the letters 9a,'s, o,'s etc..)

swarm pic for Jan 2011 and about our weekend (14-15 Jan 2011)

we had alot of fun this month just working on projects.  I should have taken pictures (someone remind me next month :) )  Brenda worked on valentine cards which was pretty.  Nancy worked on or shall I say was working on as we all learned something this weekend about making envelopes. (yeesh)  so much paper was wasted.. Sorry Nancy ;0.  But in the end she got it figured out and it was really pretty!  Margo worked on cards she is making for make n takes.  She got alot done!  Myself, Doris worked on well a couple of cards using the Gypsy download of  Smiley cartridge.  the trashcan using the peachy keen stamps.  i will copy when finished  (yup.. that's right.. i never really finished as I was to busy talking.)
hmmmm... What was rosemary working on... I can't remember. (sorry.... I should have visited more than just talking)  remind me please.....  BUT she made this really cool vinyl name on the back of her expression.  i will post it.    As usual...  we had alot of fun. munching on goodies and learning from one another.

the purpose of this e-mail is about the SWARM picture we took.  lol (see how easy I get sidetracked)  It will be entered into the Cricut.com Swarm pictures and hoping (fingers crossed) we will win.  As mentioned.. every month we will take a picture to be entered into the SWARM drawing.  Who knows....

Nancy made this in November.  Isn't it pretty..  I am a little behind

Rosemary made this vinyl name and design using the Cartridge on the gypsy  (Gypsy font)  I love the look!
