Mo's mask

This is Mo's mask. She really did a good job. I like her color choices. I can't wait to see them on display in the library.

Leaf man mask

This is the second mask that I made with fall leaves. I was stumped for eyes and finally used some green marbles.

mask project

This is one of three masks that Mo and I made for a community project. The masks will be auctioned off the end of October to benefit ARC. They provide services for people with disabilities. The mask forms we received were not very durable so I tried making a new one with sculpy and baking it. It kept melting in the oven. I wanted to glue coffee beans to it but hot glue was all that was sticking to the sculpy. After burning my fingers several times I finally made do with elmer's and continue to pray they don't all fall off. I made a visor out of a starbucks cup and the sunglasses act as a stand so it is propped up on the table. I am excited to see what the other artists do to have a better idea for a more sturdy mask. It was a fun project to do with my girl Mo.

Happy Birthday Dad!

This is a clipboard I made for my Dad's 75th birthday this week. It has all of his grandkids on it. Everyone came over for pizza and cake this week so we could celebrate the August birthdays. Every family has a member with an August birthday! We call it Al-Han-Aman-eesa Day! I am practicing for teaching a Cricut class I have been asked to teach at the scrapbook convention in Denver in October. I have another clipboard on my website www.CrabbyCrowCartridgeRentals.com under projects.

Cricut Sea Turtle Necklace

This was really fun to make! I have several memory glass pendants that I wanted to play around with. For this one I made a turtle with the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut cartridge in both the outline and the shadow feature using two different colors of green paper. The background paper is an oriental pattern I had laying around. I assembled the pieces with a 2-way glue pen and attached them to the back of the glass pendant. On the top I added the red flower.

3 Envelope Chicken Recipe

Ok, I know this has nothing to do with scrapbooks but we just tried this great recipe from my friend Sue. It is very easy and the whole family loved it. How often does that happen? All you need is 4-5 Boneless and Skinless Chicken Breasts. An envelope of each, Ranch Dressing, Italian Dressing, and Chicken gravy. One cup of water. Spray your crock pot with Pam and put chicken in. Mix water with the 3 envelopes and pour over chicken. Cook on low several hours. If you like remove chicken after cooking and add 1/2 cup of flour to thicken gravy. Return chicken to gravy and serve over noodles or rice.
I suppose this could have something to do with scrapbooking if knowing what you are having for dinner gives you more time to scrap! Enjoy!

Just can't get enough popsicles!

I made this card for my son's swim team coach. I also used it for my card idea which I submitted to Cricut to be considered as a demonstrator. There are 2300 other scrappers trying to get demonstrator positions. I hope we get to try new cartridges!! Any way his coach loved the card and the starbucks gift card I enclosed.
