And the winner is.............

Can you believe I was a moderator for a card challenge?!?! I still can't. There was 11 contestants and all were wonderfully done. I have not gotten permission to add any of them to my blog for you to see but I will ask.

This is all supported by a magazine called Card Maker. Here's there link....

So I had to choose a winner. How do I do that where there so many creative people out there? Well this was the brain child of my husbands, Mike, that we make a video and here is the link. If there is something wrong with the link, please let me know ASAP. For all my creative challenge friends, here's the link so you see the winner. Guys have a heart...It was taped when I was in my PJ's with no make-up on!!!! lol

Now for the winner, please send me your address and such to my Card Maker email or my email here, risaleneecreations@gmail.com

Finally I got this bunny done. I am so busy creating Mother's Day cards for my first show.

Now there are very small pieces, like the eyes, that you might want to either enlarge the bunny or maybe you might have a white gel pen.

MTC friends, I tried and tried to import this file into the MTC software and thats where I got upset. If there is someone out there that does save it as a MTC piece, please send it to me so I can add it. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter!

Something new for me......

As some of you may know, I am having a show on April 30th and I am creating cards like mad. I am also trying another "challenge" so I can win some stuff. Hey, times are tough and we have to do what we have to do. :) Her challenges are every week so you never know what I might post. :)

The Digi stamp comes from Stamp Fairy, which is just to adorable!!! You really must check them out. Here's the link.....http://stampfairychallenge.blogspot.com/

I picked this girl, who is in a Halloween costume, because I thought she was jumpy and full of life. You had to use a WILD apron for inspiration and add some flowers that I punched out and curled. Oh the girl is colored from me. I have a stack of images I color on the main level of my house while I watch my soap. haha I just love to color, always have. :)

OK, I must go and create more. Keep your fingers crossed, I see two have been turned in already and they are GOOD!!!!.

P.S. I have a bunny for you, I just need to cut him!

Something New.............

So many new things have been happening......

For X-mas, I bought a Cricut Expression. I know, I know but I am not using the cartridges. I have 2 that came with the machine and I bought one only because I won some money, $30, for a card competition. I don't really like the card. You know, you had to use the paper they gave you and had limits. Trust me.....I'm not sending it.

Anywho, my hubby calls her Big Yeller. Im not to fond of the flowers but I'll live. So I am using this software called Make the Cut http://www.make-the-cut.com/. I have been playing around with it and let me tell you it welds like a snap. You don't have to trace!!!! YEAH! The software is so easy to use, compared to the Craft Robo software that I pulled my hair out on. lol

So this is my first attempt to share a file. I have 2 PDF's because it would not let me "combine" the two. If you can help me combine, please do. It is in MTC, Funtime and GSD form also. They are all in one zipped file. This helps me here on my blog.

I hope I will be able to create and share in all file forms, If not, I will let you know.

Lots of Love,

Lisa

Happy January!

Winter is in full swing so I thought you would like something cold.

This is a frame that I made into the card. I see that I need more color because the frame and card is white. So I decided to take my blue ink pad and go around all the edges of the card. To save money, I did not include plastic or acetate to the frame. I'm sure if you were only going to do one of these it might be nice to save the photo. So you should be able to use a standard 4"x6" photo but don't quote me. You might need to trim it. I also added 2 layers of foam tape to "raise" up the piece. Make sure you don't put the tape on the top. haha I had to tell my self several times not to do that! :)

Sorry to my Funtime friends. I tried.....I really did but I can not get it to work. It just would not vector right and it was just a pain. If some one can do it for me, please send it along. Again, I will give you full credit.

You all have a wonderful day and lets see what I can scurry up for February.

Final Installment of holiday Town

This is the last of the Holiday Town creation. This time things went so fast as I converted it in to WPC's. What?! Something finally went my way! lol

Again, my Robo is not cutting and my hubby thinks he might have an idea. I am working off of a laptop but he is wondering if he hooks up my old computer with Windows XP, things might work. This way I would only create on my old computer. It's worth a shot! :)

I also bought a Cricut Express but Im not sure Im going to keep it. I have not opened the box so there will be no problems. I dont know if I have buyers remorse or what but I feel I am more advanced than just pressing a button and the thing cuts a shape. There is a software, I can buy for $60, that will make you do all my Robo does but I dont think I can share the files with you. I am still looking into it. :)

Well it's almost time for a new year and I hope you all have a wonderful one!

Hugs, Lisa

Holiday Town 4

Happy Holidays!!!!

I would like to wish you all a Happy Holiday and as a gift to me, I didn't even bother to try and cut the file! lol

Are you all going to be busy this weekend? I am all 3 days starting tomorrow. I am lucky to goto everybody's house this year so just think of the gas I am going to spend! lol If I didn't have a dog, I think I would have gotten a hotel room. lol

Hope you all enjoy part 3 and are looking forward to the last installment next week.

Again, have a save and happy holiday!!!!
