Happy Birthday card! Anyone else have sticky Cricut Cartridges?? :/

Hello craft friends! I pulled out and my Cricut and started organizing the cartridges and noticed most of them had a stickyness to them. I did some Google searches and it seems over time the plastic breaks down. I hope this will not affect the use of the cartridge! Someone suggested carefully using baby powder. So I carefully used a small paint brush and brushed the powder over the cartridges. It was time consuming, and frustrating but it did seem to work, for now anyways... Has anyone else had this issue? Am I the only one still using the original Cricut Expression with cartridges??

I used all scrap papers from Simple Stories Faith Collection
I fussy cut the flowers
Picket fence Die cut
House from Winterwonderland Cricut Cartidge
Washi tape, stickles, tiny word sticker, pom pom trim

Sweet Birthday Wishes! Cricut Indie Art Strawberry Happy Birthday Card!

Hello friends, today I am back with a sweet happy birthday card! While organizing my craft room I have been sorting items to make "kits". Papers that match embellishments, scraps, stickers, bling, etc that way when I only have a few minutes to craft I just reach for the kit. It's a slow process but I really enjoy handling my supplies so it works for me.

All papers are from my stash
Strawberry from Indie Art Cricut Cartridge
Sweet Birthday Wishes Stamp from Mt Craft Spot (heat embossed with Holographic embossing powder)
Doily, tab punch, scallop border punch, pearls, arrow brad, button, flowers and twine from stash.
DoubleClick Skittles: Lettuce and Cranberry

Yes it is ME!! Did Any BUNNY miss me?

Hello my crafty friends! Long time no craft! It has been far too long since I have posted on my blog and I have missed it. This past year I have experienced so many ups and downs, challenges and changes and found myself on a path to minimalism and it has changed my world. With less stuff, less aggravation, less of the activities that I was participating in that did not bring me happiness, I now find myself with bits of free time to pursue the things that make me happy. With all that life handed me this past year it wasn't easy for me to find my way back to crafting. I feel like I am not the same person I was a year ago and struggled feeling comfortable back in my craft room. I had to actually dust off my equipment!

I have missed you all so much and I cannot wait to catch up with all my blogging friends!

Hello? Hello? It's Me It's Me!! Back with an update and some Merry Christmas Wishes!

Hello my crafty friends!! I am so happy to be able to send an updated post! Every year, now matter how hard I try, the Cross Country Season just kicks my A$$ and all my plans to keep up with crafting, blogging and life go right out the window! We had a very successful season and my girls team made it to State! I am a very proud coach! At the same time I also struggled with some personal family issues and my life was put into survival mode, I know we have all been there, just do what ever it takes to survive and nothing else. Hopefully I am on the upswing of life and things will settle down!

I have missed all my friends and plan on catching up on visits over the next few days! 

I also have some exciting news to share, my DoubleClick Skittles are now available for sale at KindredStamps! She is also carrying special edition colors that you can't purchase from her shop! And YES my shop is open! Fully restocked and ready to go! 

And finally onto my craft project!
