Apron Die

Here is a look at the Apron die modified to make a monthly flip calendar that I did for my daughters for this past Christmas.  It was made out of manilla file folders and decorated with some of my favorite papers from Basic Grey.  The pocket of the apron was used to hold a pull out tag that lists some historical information on the family by month.  I saw this die being adapted on the Accucut Website as a gift holder and immediately thought was a great idea for a calendar. 

Pumpkin Book Die

Even though this album isn't complete with photos, I think it shows you what a wonderful die Accucut has come out with.  Now to find those pictures of the pumpkin patch and my grandson, Alec, to finish it up.

Love Those Accucut Books

The Scrapbooking Studio in Moline, IL has the most fabulous selection of Accucut Dies available for use--free during a crop.  It just doesn't get better than that.  I was so thrilled when Amy got these dies in I couldn't wait to make some books up.  Here are some of the ones I have done so far.  Thanks to my good friend, Cindyann, and her wonderful scanner. (Note to self--must learn how to scan pictures and size them correctly for posting).

Here is the Pail and Shovel--perfect for my pictures of my grandson at the beach.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It was a beautiful day outside as well as inside.  Alison was here for an afternoon of crafting and video watching of "The Closer".  We had a great afternoon and completed  some layout pages.  All in all, a relaxing afternoon.

Tomorrow is bringing on some spring yard work.

Covers

Bird Cage

Here are some pictures of the bird cage and a few of the covers Cindyann has constructed for my machines.

It was a very nice and relaxing Friday.  No work--Spring Vacation holiday and crafting.  It just doesn't get better than that!

Cindyann came over today and we did a little craft shopping and  finished making a cover for my Accucut GrandeMark.  She has been busy making covers for my machines. What a great friend!!   I now have pretty pink and black with zebra stripe covers for my Imagine, Silhouette, Accucut, Janome and Expression. Ummm, I think after today's shopping excursion I will be needing one more cover for my latest addition...the eClips.  Sorry, Cindyann.

While Cindyann sewed, I finished up a couple of things on a make and take tag from this past Sunday, and applied some finishing touches to the birdcage Cindyann cut out for me on Thursday.  Just have to love those cutting machines and the wonderful designers. 

Shared a great meal at Texas Roadhouse with hubby and the Whitneys to finish off a great day.

Saturday Alison will be coming over to craft.  All is wonderful....

Crafting in Fantasyland

My vagabond is travelling with me to my good friend Cindyann's to make tags of our favorite instructors!  Thanks, Tammy.  Can't wait to for the classes in Moline later this month.
