RUFF DAY?---card using the fancy frames stand

i hope you all had a great weekend.

i had time to play a bit in my craft room and i tell you, no matter how much i try to be organized and have a spot for everything, it never works. i dream of one day i will find the perfect layout. :-)

anyway, i had purchased this fancy frames cricut cart a while ago. the reason i chose to buy this cart was because the frame stand. i like to make my cards onto little table frames when possible, and this cart was perfect for my purpose. 

Ruff day?

(because the kind of day i was having in the craft room and lulu was not making things easier for me either, lol)

the cute dog is from sweethearts and the pretty paper from a company called gcd.

(i have tons of papers - i know you do too-we all do, lol- and this one has been with me for a long while.

 sometimes i do not want to use them because they are so pretty, but i think one day i will make an album for all the good looking papers i own.

see the tear drop on the left?...hehe. it is the tongue cut, but because i was having a ruff day....lol. 

the real tongue i cut in red. i used glossy accents to enhance it and a mini square rhinestone was added to the collar for the bling we all like...at least iknow i do. :-)

same glossy accent was added to the paw print and the sentiment is from my pink stamper. she has the best punnies ever. the mini butterfly is from a martha stewart's paper punch.

this is the inside using a 1$ clear stamp.

and finally the "stand". 

notice the first piece i cut i adhered it too low and was not standing properly.

 i had to cut another and positioned it a bit higher. i added the layers to the inside of the card for support, the front was a bit too heavy, and kept coming forward---something to keep in mind for the future..hehe

the frames in this cart are very nice and i would think they would work even better in scrapbook pages.

well, well....this is the end for now but before i leave i wanted to share with you three photos of a tree i planted last year---you know i like gardening too, lol. love gardening, i better say.---

anyway, i made "THIS CARD", all inspired by when i first saw tree on the internet.

the tree is a local and is called witch hazel. it is medicinal too. the fringes (flowers) are supposed to be yellow but mine came out red. this is why i bought the tree, because of them, because they bloom in winter---yes!!! in winter...awesome!!! the tree will loose it leaves and then these awesome flowers will be the showcase in winter.

here are the photos

see how pretty? 

and the tree is a baby yet. i can't wait for it to mature.

now, this is really all for today.

soon i will be starting yard clean up but before i have to start some seeds. i do this every year. some live and some don't but i do not care. it is a pleasure when they do.

take care now and big hug to all. 

thanks for stopping by too.

TUESDAY TREATS PROJECT

Hello my friends...
this is a copy and paste of my post for the Tuesday Treats.
I was invited to replace one of their designer who couldn't make it for yesterday.
I was sooo happy to be there among so many talented and well known crafters.
Enjoy!

Hello to all!

My name is Agnes

aka

flowerdisco from

I am so very happy to be at Tuesday Treats. I was invited by Pam to fill in for somebody who couldn't make it today. A bit intimidated to be among so many great talented ladies and hoping you like my card.

The cart of the month is Sentimentals and I chose the phone from page 59.  I used my Gypsy to weld both sides of the image and to weld the doorknob from page 34 to use it as a closure and as a stand for the card. It did not come out as I had it in my mind so I had to tweak it a bit and change plans.

Here is my 

Hi card

at 4.5 inches high

 I used the DCWV Songbird Collection stack for this project.

========

The Hi was cut at 1 inch and you can find this on page 25 of the handbook.

================

A closer view of the dimensional dial.

==============

I am showing here a strip of black paper and that is the doorknob cut that I ended up 

welding to the card base.

===========

Here you can see the front of the doorknob.

===========

 The back of the card and the other side of the doorknob.

===========

I am showing here a little pouch I made with a scrap of cardstock to insert the one side of the doorknob.

==============

This is the inside. 

When I started the card I started it with a white cardstock as the base but then I decided to use black instead and the white insert you see here was from that first try :)

============

This is a photo of my Gypsy screen where I added all my images ready to be duplicate to cut on the next layer. This is how I do most of my trials and errors. After I am satisfied, then I re-arrange everything to be cut, if possible, on one 12 by 12 mat.

I appreciate you stopping by 

and 

Thanks to Pam 

for inviting me over.

Hugs to all!
