Just A Friday Fifties Note Set

Hey and happy friday!! 

I've been playing with my new cartridge.............totally a blast, but honestly, I found myself having to refer to the instructions more than I thought I would have.  The whole "layer" thing was new to me!  I'm not feeling completely Cricut savvy yet, but I will persevere.

I ended up starting with a little note card set............

Totally forgot how fun it was to sew on chipboard...



I've got two more just about done. 

And today, despite the cold (its going to be twenty (20) degrees tonight!!!), this, this morning, was a sure sign of spring for me!!

Enjoy your Friday!!!

Just So REALLY Excited

about this!!!!

A huge thank you to Tara, the original Magpie Girl!! 

Man, talk about serendipity!!!!!!!!! 

Just the Fifties

I  adore all things of the 50's, and bring it into the house whenever and wherever I can.

And I love the television shows.......... The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Leave It To Beaver.....................



It looks like the 50's were fun times, simple, and genuine.  I love what the generation represents..

So, moivng on,

I have a Cricut, the smaller, older one. Its actually a replacement one (lets just say its a UPS story............and I ended up with a new one) for the first one I had and it ihas been sitting brand new, unopened in its box for quite some time now. I had been thinking about trying to sell it and maybe get a Silhoutte but, yesterday, I saw this, and all ideas of selling it went out the window.

I just HAD to have it.

LOVE the car (we have a phone like it, only blue), the coke bottle, the Route 66 sign!!   The font looks pretty cool too.   It all just looks so fun!!

And I have a few ideas about what I'd like to do with some of these images, and can't wait to play with this on my day off Tuesday.  Stay tuned!!

Just Friday

in my scraproom, playing with a big tag, some buttons, and the Studio Calico Sunday sketch.

Thanks goes out again to Miss Emily and Waleska for the inspo.  And really, how awesome are those exclusive Crate/Studio Calico labels?  Yum.

And now, I'm off to catch up on OLW projects!

Enjoy your weekend.

Just Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
