Blog Update

Sorry about the craziness of my blog right now. Thing disappearing and reappearing, themes changing, ect. I'm trying to find a look I like and not having much success at it right now :(
Does anyone know where I can find a nice template that is not to much trouble to install?
Hopefully I will have my blog back up and running in a few days time.

Mini Album

I can't believe how long it's been since I had a chance to post anything. I've not done much crafting over the last couple of months, we've moved and had so much going on that today was the first chance I've had to do anything, I'm so happy to be able to play with all my goodies again along with a bunch of new goodies I bought over the weekend at a brand new scrapbook store in town. Now to go play with my new Cricut cartridges, Jubilee and Home Decor that came yesterday along with my Cricut Jukebox I've been wanting for a long time and finally got!
It took me a while to decide between a new Cricut Expression and a Cricut Create but I finally did and bought the Create, I know that the bigger cutting surface would have been nice with the Expression but I really can't ever see myself needing anything bigger than what the Create will do and it has all the extra functions of the expression and it's easier for me to take with me to crops and such. The big plus was the $100 I saved buying the Create instead of the Expression I was able to buy my new cartridges and Jukebox!

Here's a super quick and easy to make project for you. It took me all of 30 minutes from start to finish, it took longer to decide what paper and rub-ons to use than making the album took lol.
I used plastic baseball card holders (the hard plastic ones from Walmart) punched a hole in the corner with my crop-a-dile put and put them all on a book ring. I used rub-ons on the outside of the holders and made ribbon "tabs" on each page.
