TRAVEL MINI CARDS SET

hello to all

i have to tell you guys why i am not around much anymore. since i added the gym to my almost daily routines (and that along takes a lot out of me) i am finding less time to blog. i am fine but i want you all to know it will be like this for a while. sometimes more blogging sometimes less. 

i also have been getting the house in order for spring, doing lots of laundry, taking care of personal things and doctors appointments. 

talking about doctors appointments---my son will be having his wisdom teeth removed sometime in summer. the surgeon was a young doctor and he was very pleasant. it is always nice feeling comfortable with the doctor. it means a lot.

i am also working on a mini album (mostly on-cricut) and i haven't make a mini in a while :(. i want to put it up for sale on etsy and trying to keep my shop going. the extra tiny income will be very well needed when my son starts college since i guess i will be money-less then, lol. so...i said to myself--agnes, better start trying to get some extra cash and the only way you can do it is trying to sell your handmade stuff --. hehe

let's see how it goes. wish me luck. etsy is getting like ebay---very busy and your listing gets buried among other listings very-very fast. i am trying to stay afloat there.

anyway, 

this is something i listed on my shop a few days ago. i made it mostly with kraft cardstock which seems i am in love with for a while now ;p

Travel Mini Card Set

bag 5 inch tall

i love how it came out. this envelope is from just because cards and i added that ticket shaped on the side and it looks so cute. that was done out of necessity to make sure the envelope wouldn't open later on and if it did it was going to be secured.

the paper used is from "me and my big ideas".

below is a collage of pics from the set.

 all vintage looking like me but i hope you still like it--hehe

hey, an inspiration is an inspiration, right?

wink-wink

love you all!

CRICUT CIRCLE BLOG WEEKLY CHALLENGE

I thought to share with you guys the new Cricut Circle Blog, please click HERE to take a look and hopefully you can see it for a while at least . I think they will close it for visitors and then it will be just for the Circle members only.

I have to be sincere about this blog and I have to say I really like it so far. I like it better than the message board. They will have weekly and monthly challenges and they have a team of very talented designers. The projects so far have been fabulous and the giveaways awesome. 

On October 2nd they celebrated the launch of the blog with prizes every hour: from Imagines machines, Gypsy's expressions, Cake machines and more. I did not win a single thing but it was fun for a while until I had to go for a marching band competition that day.

Anyhow, I am entering the weekly challenge. It won't be judged but they will randomly select a winner for a $25 certificate for cricut.com purchases. Hey, something is something even that cricut.com prices are a bit elevated comparing the competitors sites and stores, lol.

For the challenge we were to use the French Manor cartridge, which is the first cartridge we got when we signed up for the circle, and at least 2 cuts from it and some bling.

 I made a trifold folder where to put pictures and or journaling with a travel theme and I called it Ciao for one of the cuts I used from French Manor. The other cut is the circle.

Let me introduce you

Ciao

(picture heavy since I am putting it up for sale on Etsy)

Hope you like it and give you some inspiration.
It is a 12 x4 piece of chipboard covered with patterned papers.
Score at 4" and 8" and embellish as desired.

Love ya'
