Happy New Year!!

Hello everyone!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season and that your New Year has been fabulous so far! I am working on some new things for Scrappendipity, not just scrapbooking and card making. I got into some altered jewelry making over the holidays and I am building on that. Here is an example:



This is a scrabble tile that I was able to make into a cool butterfly pendant to wear. It is amazing what you can alter for another use. Here is another example:



This one was more tricky because I added a rhinestone. The possibilities are endless with altered "art". I plan to stretch my "altered wings" soon! :)


I made my family the same idea for Christmas gifts this year although instead of scrabble tiles I used dominoes and I used family photos to make cute little pendants. It seemed to be a hit and I hope to make more of them. Here is an example of those:




These were alittle more difficult to make and I went through quite a many dominoes before I got it right. It was worth the work though. So these are a few different things to be on the look out for as well as several others that I am working on.

Again, Happy New Year and I hope to have more posted soon!!

Peace,

Time to send out those cards....

Hello everyone...

It's that time of year again... sending out those Christmas cards :)
I always get mine out a bit early because I hate to wait in lines at the post office. Since I am making Christmas gifts this year, my Christmas cards were a bit more plain then previous years but I think that they are cute none the less...




Do you make your cards or do you buy them in the store? I hope everyone is getting a jump start on their shopping this year! Have a great Monday!

Favorite Holiday or Event to Scrap?


I am curious to know what everyone's favorite holiday or event is to scrap? I truly enjoy the upcoming Christmas season. I just think that there are so many different themes that you can use for this holiday. I really enjoy using vintage style items for Christmas. I love that old look...


What about you?

Happy Scrappin!

First Blog Entry...

Hi all, Happy Tuesday!

Just starting off this blog.. I am new so bare with me :)
I just got my Cricut and I am trying to learn all the things that you can do with this machine. I only got the personal one (the smallest) but it seems to be able to do so much. No more hand cutting for this girl! :)
I am amazed by the precision of the cut. It makes scrapbooking life so much easier!!

Who else has one? I wonder besides the size of the cut, is it really beneficial to get the big Cricut?

Well off to scrapbook!
