Bicycle Gift Card Bag
10:41 AM
So, my sweet daughter, learned how to ride her bike without training wheels! We are so proud of her, and so I decided to make her a little gift bag-to which I will put a gift card in, to buy herself a fun bicycle accessory. In this video I will be using the hide contour feature, if you need a little more help with that feature, be sure to watch this video.
I am also going to use this as my entry into Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge!
IF you haven't entered my giveaway, make sure you do that here ! I will only be taking names until midnight on the 25th! And, also the AC Moore CHA contest--it ends tomorrow! I am crossing all fingers and toes that I can win one of these 3 trips!!
Here is today's video!! :)

Deleting and Renaming Layers on Gypsy
4:51 PM
I had a request to do a quick tutorial on how to rename and delete layers on the Gypsy today.
I do try to respond to requests as quickly as possible, though I am sure they won't all be as quick as this one was! (about 1 hour) It just happend to be that, it was a good time for me (nap time) and the video request was easy for me to put together! :)
So, if you do have a question or request, don't hesitate to ask me!
Thanks!

Word Book using the Updated Layer Function on Gypsy
3:53 PM
This is actually my very first word book ever! I thought of making this for my kids to decorate, while trying to fall asleep. I will show you how to design the word book, weld the letters to the pages, use different layers, and "cinch" it together.
Also, I wanted to mention- that if you hold your stylus on each layer for just a couple seconds--it will allow you to change the name of the layer or delete the layer. I forgot to mention that in the video :).
Recipe:
Lyrical Letters
Accent Essentials
Thick cardstock or thin chipboard
The Cinch
O-wire
6x6 inch patterned paper
This is also the first video, I really had to look hard at editing, because I went way over my 10 minutes :). I think I kept all the important stuff in, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask--it probably means someone else has the same question.
I will post a picture of the word book, after it is decorated by the kids!
Note: each letter represents another page- you could fill it in with more paper, to write or decorate if you wanted. My kids are 5 and 3, so--I think 3 pages will be fine for them!

Welding 2 Images to Make a Shaped Card
12:52 PM
Yesterday I was sitting with a friend--talking about our next scrap night. We decided that we had enough bird cards, but we hadn't done any birdhouse cards. So, we challenged each other to make a birdhouse card. I didn't have an actual birdhouse card on any of my cricut cartridges, so I made my own by using 2 birdhouse shapes, flipping one, and welding them.
With this technique, you can practically make any shape into a card!!
I realize now, that there is still a bird included on this card--but, I just couldn't resist! :)
The paper I used is DCWV Songbird - it seemed fitting.
Stay posted for a little bit about our Circle Challenge Winners: Wendy and Vicki!

Grunge Flower
11:25 AM
One of my favorite paper packs is DCWV Doodlin' Around. It has several papers that fit events through the year. They are very cute, and kid-friendly. I can't imagine not using every single paper in this pack. Today I did a circle layout of my daughter in her Easter Dress- adding a grunge flower for dimension.
Recipe for Grunge Flower
Accent Essentials or Plantin Schoolbook (or any other cart w/ a basic flower)
cardstock
word background stamp
ink
pencil or other "rolling" tool

Wedding Bells
5:12 PM
It's Monday-- and beautiful here! The kids and I have been soaking up some sunshine, but I did manage a couple miles on the treadmill and a retreat to my icy cool scraproom (note the sweatshirt in the video:))
I have somehow misplaced my cell phone, and have looked everwhere-- On the bright side, while looking for it, I got some laundry done including washing all the bedding. (My comforter is outside drying, as I type)
Today, I used some of my favorite paper to make a simple wedding card. I used paper to back the buttons and a simply fun stamping technique.
Recipe2 types of patterned coordinating paper
1 premade 5x7 card
2 solid color paper scraps
long stamp
Pink Ribbon
Buttons
