Criss Cross Cards

I started making these cards a few months ago. I love making them, they are fun and they use some of my scrapbook scraps. Here are a few I have made in the last few weeks. The Instructions for the card can be found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/crisscrosscard.php

Boxes with the Cricut

I made these boxes with the Cricut Machine, the Design Studios Software and the George Cartridge. I didn't create the pattern though I got it from here: http://okieladybugsscrapnmore.blogspot.com/search/label/Cupcake%20Box

These boxes were made instead of having easter baskets. I like how they turned out, although I had a little adhesive problem. I did alter the pattern a bit, which might of been a bad call. Instead of using the bottom that it called for I cut two tops, one with a cutout, one without. When I make them again i will probably do it the way they are suppose to be done.

This was my Moms Box:



This was my Sisters, She loves frogs:





This was mine, Blue is my favorite color:

Thanks Card....

Here is a card I made today. I recently discovered clear stamps and this is the first time using them. I actually like the card. And all I can say is that clear stamps are amazing. They are super easy to use and they are just fun. I sense another scrapbooking obsession coming on!

Jericho's Cancellation My Rant

So I love that CBS gave this show another chance. I was surprised that they brought it back. I didn't think as a fan we would get much more than the 7 or 8 episodes that they promised, but never the less I was very disappointed. This show is great, the characters and writing are amazing. The ratings for this season were poor, not because no one wanted to watch it, but because they moved the show from 8pm on Wednesdays to 10 pm on Tuesdays. There is a huge difference between the people watching TV at 8 and those watching at 10. Jericho is one of CBS most watched shows online, and it continues to be a big seller on itunes, so clearly people like the show.

It seems like networks are investing so much into completely mindless reality shows (ie., My dad is Better than your dad) and tossing out smart and intriguing shows. Jericho isn't the only show that they have tossed out like this, it is just the latest in a long line for great shows. I have to hope that Jericho is picked up by another network and will continue on somewhere, but the chances of that happening are slim.

I for one am sick and tired of networks canceling great shows. It is really irritating that they take shows that are preforming well and move them to a different time or they put them on a 2 or 3 month hiatus and are shocked that people have found something else to watch. That is inevitable, specifically with a new show.

Ok I think I have gotten it out of my system!

Tin Man Mini series....

3 or 4 months ago this mini series was on Sci fi network and it was amazing. It was a great retelling of the Wizard of oz, Sci-fi style. I know it does sound really weird, but it was a great movie. I recommend it to anyone who likes Wizard of Oz and/or Sci-fi. I happen to like both. My sister even liked it, which if you know my sister you know is unusual.

Here is a video i found on You tube for it:

Favorite Cartoons....

I have two favorite Cartoons from when I was a kid. You might think I'm too old to watch cartoons, but don't kid yourself some cartoons are worth the snickers and laughs you might get from people.

The first one is Horton Hatches an Egg




The second one is I love to Singa
