Welcome to our neighborhood.....

This week's project for The Cutting Cafe' I'm using the Welcome Home printable stamp set.  The timing couldn't be more perfect because two families have just moved in around our block in the last few days.  Time to get to baking my yummy banana bread.  I'm going to put into a sack and attach the cute tag that I made with this set to it. 

 

The Welcome Home printable set includes 55 images!!!

 

 

Here are a few more stamps in the set 

Here is the tag that I made to put on my banana bread

I used washi tape for the first time.  I have about 10 rolls but have never used it before.  It's the green with white polka dots.  It's also VERY easy to use.   I also used my silhouette cameo to cut the images out.  Part of it I just used a pair of scissors to cut it out. 

 

This set is so versatile!  Welcome Home, Welcome to the neighborhood, New Home, SOLD, etc.  So many possibilities.  Maybe one day I can use this set for "We've Moved". 

 

 

Now I better get to baking that banana bread.

An Apple a day...........

An apple a day keeps the doctors away, or so they say.   I don't know if this actually works, because I haven't done it.  Maybe I should test this well known rhyme.  It would be alot healthier than all the junk I like.  Is it too late for another New Year's Resolution?

This week at The Cutting Cafe the design team were given the choice of using Birthday Fun, Fun With Dress Forms or the Apple Box set.  I chose the Apple Box set.  To celebrate the Holiday, "St. Patricks Day" the project was done in green colors. 

 (Sentiments in the set)

 

 

For this project I used digital paper that I got free at kevinandamanda.com.  I also used craft cardstock that I purchased at Hobby Lobby.  To cut out the apple, I used the print and cut feature on my handy dandy Silhoutte Cameo.  Did I ever tell you how much I love this machine?  For the light green square I used the color picker in the Silhouette Studio program. 

 

 

 

 

 

Spring Showers Bring May Flowers.....

We are having spring like weather today.  It's beautiful, but enjoy it while it's here, because it will change. The weather here has been so confusing.  One day freezing "coat" weather, the next day warm "flip flop" weather.  It's no wonder everyone is sick with something.  Showers sound wonderful.   We have been going through a three year drought here in Oklahoma so we desperatley need the rain!!!!!!!!!

This set from The Cutting Cafe' brings lots of hope of what's to come.....SPRING!!!  One Spring Day printable stamp set has 90 plus images.  Some are black and white and some are in color. 

Here is a sneek of the One Spring Day~Printable Stamp set

 

For this card I used my Silhouette (again).  I colored everything in Silhouette Studio and used the print and cut feature.  I backed the card with black cardstock and added a black bow.  For the striped background I used a digital paper you can find here.  I layered the flowers to see some of the outline.
