and challenged them to design a card. 
I was really impressed with their unique designs.

Ruler (Z1471) (place the two inch squares on the piercing tool pad, line the top holes along the top of the squares (I did one at a time to make sure they were lined and would not slip), use the vertical lines on the ruler to center , use the piercing tool to poke a hole in each of the bottom holes on the ruler, line the ruler using the corner hole and the top holes on the ruler, poke holes again until you go around the square)
Piercing Tool Kit (Z1114)
DMC #932 (found at any craft store – Cross-stitch thread) – use 3 strands (You don’t have to knot your thread, just leave enough at the back and when you finish sewing around tie the two ends together.)
Cut the “STITCHED”(1 ¼”) using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.
Use Chocolate Alphabet Small Stamp Set (D1296) to stamp “with love” in Garden Green Ink (Z2120).
Use Stitched Together Stamp Set (C1459) to stamp the heart and the flower shape onto the squares with Twilight Ink (Z2160).

Garden Green Ink
Copper Brads (Bulk 153)
See enclosed Card Template. Open Colonial White Base Card so you are only cutting the front of the card, place the Garden Green Cardstock underneath (line the edges), lightly trace the rectangle onto the Colonial White. Use a ruler to draw a light line to each of the corners. Place on a mat or cardboard. Use an Exacto knife to cut the crossed line. Erase your light pencil marks. Fold the flaps. (Do not glue anything.) Place the Floral Paper Frame on top. Fold the flaps over. Use the brads to pin down the flaps. Only pin the 2 flaps, the floral, and the card base. Do not pin the Garden Green Cardstock. I used the piercing tool to poke a hole for the brads. Glue the floral and Garden Green Cardstock Corners to the base. Stamp the small Vanilla Cream Cardstock and then layer. Glue to the center of the inside of the card

Great Night

Friends, Food, and Scrapbookin'!!!  What else can you ask for?  I spent the evening with JoAnn, Julie, Lisa, and Shelley.  We made the Sonoma Workshop on the Go.  I also through in a little surprise.  Each lady got to make one of these beautiful necklace pendants (origianal idea found at http://brenyule.blogspot.com/2011/10/vintage-necklace-using-close-to-my.html).  Just a little something to let the ladies know I'm blessed to have them in my life.



I made sugar free Pineapple Upside-Down Individual Cakes.  The recipe can be found at http://curiousjogeorge-kaylaskitchen.blogspot.com/2012/01/sugar-free-pineapple-upside-down.html.

Rock the Block Die

Here's a cute little die that I made for my niece.  When my brother or sister-n-law catch her being GOOD they can have her roll the die.  It was customed made - my sister-n-law gave me her ideas of her rewards and I added them to the sides.  Think I'm going to make one for my classroom and maybe my sister's classroom.

Faith loves to get a $1 and go to the Dollar Store.  She loves books and for someone to read to her.  Her mom said she loves to go to the Zoo and the Park.  I personally know she loves Chuck E. Cheese so I added Special Outing so they could choose.  I also put watch movie with me because I know she likes Sesame Street and she likes to cuddle. She's very smart and likes to play games so of course playing games had to be one.  And what kid doesn't like some kind of Sweet Treat.  So, I hope they enjoy this little behavior reward die.

I made it simple so that the sides weren't accidentally weighted down.
