My first project for Regina's Cutting Designs

If you haven't been over to see Regina's new shop, I would urge you to go look around! This is the easiest box I've ever cut with my Pazzle! Regina creates the cutting files and you can get them in either WPC format or PDF format. The wpc format will work on your Pazzle machine (and I'm sure other cutting machines as well), and if you don't have a die cutting machine you can also get them in pdf format. That way you can print them right off your computer onto cardstock and pattern paper and cut them out yourself. It doesn't get any easier than this folks. All I did was cut it out in the paper of my choice, and then decorated it the way I wanted. I decided to fix this one up for fall. Wouldn't this be a great hostess gift to take to Thanksgiving dinner? Besides Regina's cutting file, I used Basic Grey paper, a Cuttlebug cut and emboss die for the leaf in metal, a piece of acetate for the window, an Autumn Leaves stamp on the tag and Mini Monograms for the scalloped circle under the ribbon. Please go over and wish Regina well on her new adventure. These files are AWESOME! Thank you Regina!!

I've been invited to work with Regina Easter in her new venture!!!

I have received some exciting news since my return this weekend! Regina Easter, an extremely talented friend and fellow crafter, has requested me to be on her design team for her new venture, REGINA'S CUTTING DESIGNS. She is creating cut files that can be purchased as either a wpc file to use with cutting machines, or a pdf file that can be used to print off your computer and cut out yourself! I'm soooo excited to be a part of her design team! She's reserved some really talented ladies to join her, and I feel VERY honored and flattered that I get to work with all of them. Please be sure and link to her shop. I can guarantee that you're going to see some really amazing things from her!

I'm back and ready to start crafting!

I haven't had time to do anything new yet, but thought since I hadn't posted anything for so long, I'd post a few things I've made and never got around to showing you. Here are just a couple. Thanks so much for all of your friendship and support while I've been gone. The last several weeks were pretty darned tough, so I've taken this weekend to just kind of relax and try and regroup myself. I've missed all of you so much, and I know I have a lot of blogging to catch up on in the next week!! HUGS!!!!!
