Make Nestabilities with Your Cricut and SCAL!

I've bought nestabilities to use in my cuttlebug but as we know,they are quite expensive.I have a cricut and was searching for svg files for scalloped circles and came across this site Peggy Duncan Creations She shares 100's of svg files and I think there was 122 for just the nesties,as she calls them.

Please watch tutorial for her NESTIE Files to create the look of the very popular products you can purchase on the market.The wonderful thing about her NESTIE Files is that you are not limited to a particular size.Some people will have to rename the files to make them into svg's,I did.

If you have that problem look at the file name…it may have added an “_” to the end of the file name….all you need to do is right click on the file and select RENAME and then click on the “_” and delete it….now you can click off the file and it will be perfect

Enjoy.

The Power of One!

One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring
One smile begins a friendship
One handclasp lifts a soul
One star can guide a ship at sea
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a nation
One sunbeam lights a room
One candle wipes out darkness
One laugh will conquer gloom
One step must start each journey
One word must start each prayer
One hope will raise our spirits
One touch can show you care
One voice can speak with wisdom
One heart can know what's true
One life can make the difference
You see, IT'S UP TO YOU!!

I LOVE Making Mini Albums!

I haven't been away anywhere except in my craft room being addicted to making mini albums.

This binder album comes from "Follow The Paper Trail" 

I got my inspiration Here ,and to make the inside pages go Here

This was a very fun album to make and the directions are perfect.

Here is my finished album,I haven't added any pictures or journaling yet.

The paper I used is Que Sera Sera from K & Company.

I took a picture of all the pages before I placed them inside.

Home Made Prima Flowers!

I love Prima Flowers but they can be cheaper if you make them yourself.They are pretty easy.I used my cricut to cut the scalloped flowers out.I got my cricut pattern for free HERE

Some people use their paper punches but I didn't have any for scalloped flowers.The video I used for inspiration was on YouTube
This video is another version of the Crumpled Flower
These can be addicting!I used mostly K and Company papers and also used Shimmer Mists to finish mine off.
Mine are more scrunched up but once they dry they can't really be manipulated that well.

Here are a few of mine.
