Mr. Cricut Crazy DT Post

Hello my crafty friends,

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!  I was lucky enough to rest after a very busy week.  I spent most of the weekend watching Season 1 and Season 2 of True Blood.  Not sure that I have formed an opinion yet, a little different!

Hope you guys all keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks as Tanner over at http://www.mrcricutcrazy.com/ is going to be selling some new products.  I can tell you that he will be selling Glimmer Mist as well as some Tim Holts products!  How very exciting!

Todays project was using Mr. Cricut Crazy's Summertime Fun Stamp Set!!

This altered note book is the perfect size for my purse!!

Supplies Used:

Chestnut Road Chalk Ink
Assortment of Ribbons

Wednesday Write Up

I have to apologize.  What a busy time of year and to think it is not even Christmas!  

On a happy note Nala (my puppy) graduated from puppy school on Monday with a certificate to prove it and I have my son's high school graduation today.  I am so excited and happy to report that he starts a full time job on Monday!  Busy, busy and school is officially over for my youngest who will graduate next year.  I can't wait to be done with high school.

On to today's topic!  I have just recently purchased some new products by Lindys Stamp Gang and can I say wow!  I have to say that I prefer them to Glitter Mist.  The nozzle's have not plugged, they mix up really well and the colors are amazing!  As I wasn't sure if I was going to like them I bought a few of the Try Me Kits and you must try them.  I also purchased some embossing powders and color shots and I love them.  I can't wait to share some projects with you!  They were also kind enough to send me a free sample to try.  What a great wait to promote product!!  The prices were more than reasonable but I did find the shipping to be costly but this does seem to be the norm for me as I live in Canada.  We Canadians just can't get a break I tell you, did I mention that our postal service is on a complete lock out. Haven't received any happy mail in over a week:(

To sum things up if you are on the fence on purchasing Lindys Stamp Gang products I give them 2 thumbs up and say go for it and you want glitter!!

Wednesday Write Up!!

So I thought it would be fun to give you a weekly series which I am going to call Wednesday Write Up which I will review products that I have tried, or received recently.  Some of you may not have the availability to try new products because of location or uncertainty so I am hopefully here to help and maybe encourage you to try something new!  Please be sure to ask any questions should you have any and I will try to answer them. 

To start things off this week I wanted to tell you about a new magazine subscription that I have ordered and I just got my first copy in the mail!!  I have purchased a subscription to the Cricut Magazine that can be ordered through Northridge Publishing.  This cute magazine which measures about 9x9 is full of information.  All pictures are colored with details relating to size and cricut cartridges used.  You will also find step by step instructions on how-to projects.  I do live in Canada and I am happy to report that the magazine was covered and could not be damaged by weather conditions.  Nothing worse than receiving a soggy magazine!

You also have the option of receiving this magazine through email and although it is cheaper you don't get the full clarity of the magazine.  I guess I am a hands on girl!    I do find the subscription a little on the pricey side as it cost me 45.00 for 6 issues but I can assure you that you are getting your money's worth.  Tons of inspiration for cards, scrapbook pages and home decor.  This magazine gets 2 thumbs up from me!

I hope you have enjoyed this series and we will see you back here tomorrow for another project!
