Now I know I am going to make some for this upcoming ho ho ho holiday but I needed a birthday card...and i fell in love with planter box of poinsettias. This is what I came up with! I used the planter file from SVGCuts and a sunflower file from the Silhouette Store. This turned out so cute!! I love it!<br />

Boy have I been busy! So busy in fact that Louie, our shelf elf, decided to finish one of my projects for me. I had read about the contest that Silhouette is having this year. A letter to Santa contest. Well, I did get the letter printed out....and i even filled in a couple of the blanks. Then I got busy baking and crafting and the next thing I knew Louie had finished my letter!! Somehow he even took some pictures and left them on my camera!! He is one sneaky elf! I should have known if he saw a Santa letter he was be interested!! I guess I had better make sure to hide the flour and sugar....definitely don't want another mess like last year when he decided to bake for me!<br />

Welcome to Mary Jeans Golden memories! I decided to take the plunge and submit a project for a design team position. It's the first time that I've done this and boy am I nervous!! But we all need to step out of our box and try something new once in awhile! Don't we???<br /><br />This is a layout of my great nephew Connor...Isn't he a cutie!! My sister loves to take pictures and her very first grandchild has become her favorite model! Who can blame her!<br /><br />For this layout I did use paper, my cricut, La Petites 3d sticker swirls, paper studio gemstone letters and LOTS of glitter!Mary Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15857611628072489886noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237227487500701156.post-65294691950544556292012-03-18T14:27:00.003-07:002012-03-18T14:34:18.588-07:00Christmas check list.....cards....done!!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mP2aVqxSNNI/T2ZU0kWRmeI/AAAAAAAAAWM/Rvh30Ticu00/s1600/blog%2Blayouts%2B016.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mP2aVqxSNNI/T2ZU0kWRmeI/AAAAAAAAAWM/Rvh30Ticu00/s400/blog%2Blayouts%2B016.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721353638707829218" border="0" /></a><br />Can you believe it!!! I have my christmas cards done for next christmas!!!! I'm shocked! For the last two years I didn't even get them made!!<br /><br />Every year the bakery has a ornament exchange and since I'm a paper addict I do something with paper. I loved how my ornament turned out so I decided to do the same...or almost the same.... for my christmas cards next year. Add two weekends of crops back to back and they are done!!! I still can't believe it myself.<br /><br />Now if any of my family is reading this....forget that you saw it! I don't want to spoil the surprise this coming christmas!Mary Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15857611628072489886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237227487500701156.post-67522595931687018252011-10-12T11:38:00.000-07:002011-10-12T11:41:49.266-07:00sanitizer bottles!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kHJTrwGm2Xw/TpXfZK91uzI/AAAAAAAAAVs/MEU5IKmEXvI/s1600/DUSTY%2B001.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kHJTrwGm2Xw/TpXfZK91uzI/AAAAAAAAAVs/MEU5IKmEXvI/s400/DUSTY%2B001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662677730021718834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X2RG2B0Y-o4/TpXfY0LTQkI/AAAAAAAAAVk/w29oFAXXGPw/s1600/DUSTY%2B004.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X2RG2B0Y-o4/TpXfY0LTQkI/AAAAAAAAAVk/w29oFAXXGPw/s400/DUSTY%2B004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662677723904164418" border="0" /></a><br />Here are some sanitizer bottles that Ive done up for a craft show!

I entered the Provo Craft E2 Banner contest and was one of the winners!!!!! OMG!!! I was shocked!!! But sooo excited!! I've always said that if I was to win something like this I would be screaming but that is not what happened at all! LOL...I just sat there and stared at the screen then took my laptop into Bob and asked him to look...I wanted to be sure I was seeing it correct! While he was looking I started crying!!! And ever time I tried to talk I would start crying again!!!! <br /><br />I even asked him later in the day if I had dreamt the whole thing!! Thank you Provo Craft!!! This was a dream come true!!!<br /><br />I didnt get very good pictures before I sent it off but here are a couple that I got!<br /><br />ohhh...lol...ignore my dishes in the sink!Mary Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15857611628072489886noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237227487500701156.post-51359195039839717082011-09-25T12:21:00.000-07:002011-09-25T12:23:03.398-07:00Expression2 launches tonite!!Join the fun at<br /> http://mixologycrafts.wordpress.com<br /><br />tonite when they have there question and answer session at 11 eastern!!Mary Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15857611628072489886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237227487500701156.post-59668069526089672142011-05-09T11:58:00.000-07:002011-05-09T12:01:04.127-07:00A layout challenge is next!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kStCAjiVVwU/Tcg54BZrHyI/AAAAAAAAAUg/SQ6HIvs66HM/s1600/challenge%2B001.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kStCAjiVVwU/Tcg54BZrHyI/AAAAAAAAAUg/SQ6HIvs66HM/s400/challenge%2B001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604793370874158882" border="0" /></a><br />A simple layout but I think it is so cute and bright!

Isn't he a cutie! It's a simple layout but I really like how it turned out!<br /><br />I posted both copies of the layout because I wanted to see side by side..lol...or up and down...the difference a couple little things I did made to the layout! When I did the layout the first time I liked it...but felt it was missing something. A couple days later I had a chance to watch Monique's video on some techniques she always uses. I tried a couple of them and think it really made a difference! It's still a simple layout but with a little pop now! I had already inked on the first copy but added the black mats and I did a little white pen work! I can see I reallyyyy need to work on my inking but I will just have to keep working on that one! I still need to work on my white pen work also but for my first try I'm pretty pleased! thanks Monique for the tips!<br /><br />Hope you like layouts! And if you are interested in the video Monique did here is the link!<br /><br />http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/2011/03/country-cards-design-video-new-explore.htmlMary Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15857611628072489886noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5237227487500701156.post-66562419506117552782011-03-01T11:44:00.000-08:002011-03-01T11:47:50.419-08:00Loving Bling!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1nfcSfp3-X0/TW1NXXNuwdI/AAAAAAAAATY/8lE4OTWs9oo/s1600/mealaya%2B077.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1nfcSfp3-X0/TW1NXXNuwdI/AAAAAAAAATY/8lE4OTWs9oo/s400/mealaya%2B077.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579200577145848274" border="0" /></a><br />I am realllly loving bling right now!

Every year Santa comes to Grandma's a week or so before Christmas so that the little ones can tell him what they want. Thats a serious visit...the last they get before the big day to tell him exactly what they want!<br /><br />With all the hustle and bustle of getting ready for Christmas I needed a break and decided to do a layout... Just something quick..simple...that would make me smile. And while at nikkisdoghouse.blogspot.com I found these cute freebie cut outs! Don't you just love the name of her blog....lol...anthing that has to do with dogs gets my attention!!!<br />Speaking of dogs I had better get busy and take mine for their walk!
