~Hello card~

Since I finally finished my She Art girl for my sister's birthday (which was last month, of course), I needed a card to go in the box and figured a Happy Birthday was a little too belated.

I haven't used my Imagine in awhile and needed an excuse, so I dug through the handbooks and found this little fellow on Better Together.  I cut him a 3".  Used some MME paper.  Perfect!  And the box will be mailed tomorrow.

Now if I can just get my December mini done.....

Thanks for stopping by!

The Great Shrinky Dink Caper

This was my first attempt at using shrinky dinks with my Imagine machine.  The goal was to make "charms" for my granddaughter's crocs.  After wasting a whole sheet to determine what settings I needed to cut through the dang stuff (blade 6, pressure 5, multicut 5), I managed to cut out and bake the following four charms.  I learned that layers are not good.  This stuff gets really thick when baked.  I also learned that I need to find different jewelry hardware for these to work in shoes.  Oh well, it was a great creative learning experience and I hope to try it again soon.  The turtle and ladybug were from Walk in my Garden, the kitty from Best Friends and the teddy bear from Better Together.  Enjoy!
