I just wanted to let you all know what has been going on with me. I left an update on TwoPinkPeas.Blogspot.Com a few days ago but I thought I should leave one on here too. Alot of you are not followers of Two Pink Peas and I did not want to leave you all out. If you get a chance please go to my Two Pink Peas blogspot and follow me there. I will be closing this blog some time in the near future and I would hate to lose any of you followers. Every single one of you mean so much to me. Here is the link..www.twopinkpeas.blogspot.com. Thank you in advance for doing that. I have alot planned and hope to be back full steam ahead very very soon. I am working on it daily.
Alot has been going on. Right now my 11 year old son Casey has pneumonia. He has been sick for going on 3 weeks now. He has already finished a full dose of antibiotics and steroids but was not getting better. So I had to take him to get a chest x-ray. Yep, he has pneumonia. I am trying my hardest to keep him out of the hospital. We both have asthma so anytime he gets a cold he gets it in his lungs just like I do. Fingers crossed!
We also had a death in our family, had major internet issues and things have been just all around crazy including Casey being sick for almost a month. I am re-doing my craft room. It is a big huge mess right now but I am working on it trying to get it back to normal. What a feat that is..lol If you could only see what it looks like right now.. sheesh!
My daughter Hallie who just turned 10 is doing a Jump Rope For Heart for the American Heart Association. She really wants to help as much as she can. Her grandfather, my dad passed away and had some heart issues and cancer. So this is very close to home. We are making little baggies with little valentine hearts in them to give to those who are donating to this cause. I will be putting pictures up and directions on how to make them. They are really cute. Hallie is such a sweetheart and it just melts my heart that she cares about this cause so much.
Anyhow, I just wanted to check in. I hope to be back once my craft room is back and I can actually work and find things..lol. I hope you all are doing well. Talk to you all soon... ~Terri
I am just loving this Forever Young Cartridge. Here is how you make this adorable card.
Your finished card size will be 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Take a piece of white cardstock and make your card the size 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
The red mat size is 4 1/8" x 5 1/4" (I always size down 1/4" for all my mat sizes)
I ran the red mat through the cuttlebug using the Divine Swirls Embossing Plate
Cut out your little boy and girl using the Forever Young Cricut Cartridge on page 30 in black cardstock
You will use the shift key and it will say <Vlntns-s> on your cricut
Cut it out using size 3 inches
Cut out the Shadow in white cardstock and you will hit the shift key
Take some black ribbon and adhere it to the red mat. Secure ends behind the red mat.
Take another piece of ribbon and tie a knot.
I had this "Dream & Star" in my stash, it is made by
JoAnn's Craft Essentials
These little embellishments came in a pack of 4 and they are all 3-d with wire and little beads
That's about it.. adhere your red mat to your white card and you are all done.
