Cards and Scrapping
- Farewell, Fiskars
Last week I broke my portable 12″ Fiskars trimmer. I was in the middle of a project when my elbow knocked it off the edge of my desk and broke the stabilizer bar. Even though I’ve always wanted to find a better replacement I swear I didn’t do this on purpose! So now I’m on [...]
- Color Challenge
Color Challenge, originally uploaded by krisalis903. A card for this week’s color inspiration challenge. I can’t say this was a difficult one seeing as how this is my first time really participating in one, but it was really interesting to go through the creative process in such a crunch. I had to force myself to [...]
- O Tenenbaum
O Tenenbaum, originally uploaded by krisalis903. Ok, so I’ve been back and forth on how to spell this phrase because I’ve seen it several different ways. Since this spelling actually fit in the space allowed, I’m sticking with it so there. Since buying my christmas tree a couple years ago, I’ve made it a tradition [...]
- My Makeshift Stickles Drying Station
My Makeshift Stickles Drying Station, originally uploaded by krisalis903. I love Stickles. The only problem is since it’s glitter glue, it takes a while for it to dry properly. Rather than spreading everything out somewhere and risking them getting messed up, I turned the side of my fridge into a Stickles drying station using a [...]
- It’s Our Family
It’s Our Family, originally uploaded by krisalis903. Texas weather is so weird. After 2 days of strangely warm weather, the cold front has finally come in, bringing with it gusts of wind that have been causing my apartment to vibrate and creak. I haven’t yet taken out my heated mattress pad, which by the way [...]
- Finding My Groove
"Dear Izzie", originally uploaded by krisalis903. It’s been a fantastic week! I’ve actually created 4 layouts for my scrapbook, with one more in progress. It started with me completely emptying my scrapbook totes and giving everything a home in my craft area. After reading through Jill Davis’ E-Book on organizing your scrapbook tools and workspace, [...]
- The Chase
"The Chase", originally uploaded by krisalis903. This one is about Izzie and her new friend AJ.
- Yes, I DID wake up at 5AM to buy the Cricut Expression!
Yes, I WAS one of those people at Wal-Mart at 5AM This Morning., originally uploaded by krisalis903. Ok, so this year I woke up a lot earlier than I did last year. But it was for a good reason. I got the Cricut Expression for $199 of course! And it comes with 2 cartridges After [...]
- Silly Girl
Silly Girl, originally uploaded by krisalis903. This is probably the fastest I’ve turned a series of pictures into a layout. I love the fact that I can have pictures in hand as fast as I can download them from my camera when I get home. Ahh… the conveniences of modern technology. I really liked this [...]
- CD Sleeve Template and Tutorial
Here it is! I put together a brief tutorial and a template for the CD sleeve I made last week. Download the PDF template here. An important note: the actual CD sleeve template is exactly 11″ inches in length and since print margins are usually less than that on 8.5 x 11″ paper, I recommend [...]
