Ragdolls Layout

A layout that I made using the "Ragdolls - 2012" files. I've been searching for Raggedy Ann & Andy forever now so I could make a layout of my kids Halloween costumes. This file was perfect!

Gingerbread Advent Calendar

Have a cookie while we wait for Christmas

Wow, August is almost over.

Christmas is just around the corner.

I love Christmas time: 

family gathering, 

windy December with stunning costarrican sunsets

time to share...

So, for my last post as ScrappyDew guest designer I have to chose one of their lovely Christmas files, the "Baking Gingerbreads" cutting file.

I made an advent calendar with non traditional Christmas colors.

Don´t you think this guys are so sweet?

So, have a cookie and wait with me for Christmas.

Remember, you can find this lovely cookies set at

Live Simply

Since I first saw the “Bonnets” file, I fell in love with it.  

And I knew I was going to use it for one of my paper projects.

This Friday I want to show you a flip flop card, using just two beautiful “bonnets” from that file.

The card message is an advice for life:

"Live simply, give more, expect less"

Spider Broom Lollipop

How cute is this project? 

I created it from a new tutorial posted at Splitcoaststampers. They are so easy and very quick to work up. I had wanted to do a Print & Cut of the spider, have him hanging down the broom handle. My Silhouette Portrait had difficulty reading the Registration Marks. No matter how much light I had on it. So, I just created a tag and glued it to the broom handle or lollipop stick. :) 

I used "Spider Hanging Out" pattern file by ScrappyDew. 

You can visit the ScrappyDewCreations Facebook page and download the cutting file. 

I plan to make a bunch more for my sons class. 

Have a Great Day!

Halloween Graveyard

Boy oh boy, how time flies while your having fun.  Can you believe it is week 3 of the DOOZIE project.  Time to start decorating the house for back to school and Halloween!  I just love this time of year.  Was shopping this week and noticed that the fall mums are out and maybe it's just me but I really was excited for the very few raindrops that we recieved this week.  I just love autumn.  And on that note, here is the addition for this week to the Doozie.  I used the Happy Haunting Palz 2012 file over at ScrappyDew.com.  http://www.scrappydew.com/store/halloween/halloween_theme.php

This was a fun project.  Besides using scraps and glitter paper, I used an unexpected item this week.  A year or more ago, I visited a new slot car race track and hobby store.  They had a package of imitation grass like you would find on a model train setup.  I bought it thinking it would add texture to some project down the road.  I really like the look of it on this grave yard project.  

When making the fence, I decided that I wanted to join sections to gate in the grave yard.  So I made 4 sections and joined them together with brads that are colored black with a sharpie.  Over-all I think this will be a really cute addition to the DOOZIE!

Next week I will begin the final project element.  It's a large project and I may have to break it into two posts.  So please come back and visit me!!!

Have a fantastic week! 

 Bright blessings, Jana

Fall Time Scarecrow Project

Has it been another week already?  WOW!  There is a lot happening here in my little sphere of the blog world.  It's week 2 of the DOOZIE of a project.  I hope you will like what I have created using the patterns from ScrappyDew!http://www.scrappydew.com/  Please go and take a look at all the wonderful patterns (you know there are only 156 days until Christmas, like you needed to be reminded)

For this week I have a project that will fit the bill for a couple of holidays.  I am coming to realize that I am using up all my scraps exceedingly fast.  I'll show you the project and then tell you all about it.  Here is the link http://www.scrappydew.com/store/fall-palz/

I had to dig into my 12x12 Core'dinations Premium Cardstock Safari Pack to get the colors that I wanted.  Started with cutting the trees with my Zenith Zing.  The first layer was yellow.  Do you think I could get a good cut?  H E double toothpicks NO!!!  So I start trying to nail down what it might be.  I put in a new blade, nope.  Still tearing.  Check my settings and they are correct.  Didn't have any other 12x12 yellow paper so I cleaned my matt really well and that helped but this darned paper is so fiberous it's just shredding.  

So I remembered that others with a Zing had mentioned that when the weather is really humid they stick their paper in the microwave for 10 seconds to dry it out.  Finally this worked.  I had to do this with every sheet of Core'dinations sheet that I used.  I don't know if the weather was just really humid, but I have ran into problems with this brand of paper before.  If you would be soo kind as to leave a comment below with what 12x12 paper you use I would be really greatful.  So here are the trees~~~

Thankfully I was able to cut the scarecrow with the corn and hay bales with my good Recollections paper.  This cut like a dream (as I have expected it too).  Had some left over leaves and stuck them on also.  I think that it turned out soooo cute!

Whewwwww.....Week 2 of the DOOZIE project is complete.  Now I do know what I am making for week three but i'm not telling.  You will just have to come back next Saturday and find out.  I love having you visit and please remember to tell me what type of paper you have the greatest sucess with.  I don't want another yellow meltdown. 

So for now, Bright Blessings for the coming week!  Jana

Silly Halloween Palz Piecings

Hello Hello Hello!  Does anyone love Halloween?  Of all the holidays, Halloween has got to be my favorite.  Don't get me wrong, I love all the holidays but with my daughters birthday the first week of October, I had a holiday ready birthday theme each year.  She is a fabulous woman and on her own but I still decorate for Halloween (snickers and thinks she gets out of dusting if she decorates) late September each year.  This year I decided to create a "DOOZIE" of a new project.  Each week I will share another element of the DOOZIE and then reveal the whole DOOZIE of a project on Labor Day weekend.

This project is called Silly Halloween Palz 2012. http://www.scrappydew.com/store/?products.  I wanted some characters for my DOOZIE.  I used all scraps of Recollections paper and really cleaned out my stash. Now I wanted each of the palz to be free standing.  So I used the Make The Cut Software and looked in the gallery for an easel.  I used User Id 4030's simple easel.  I sized it to 1.5 inches and made two for each palz.  Ran some tape on each edge and stuck them on each leg.  Now my palz are standing tall (giggle remember that old commercial with the big hair and standing tall like a proud marine, I am sane, I promise).  For next week, I haven't decided on what part of my DOOZIE to complete.  So hang in there gang, you can be just as surprized as I will be. So here are my characters:

Remember to check back next Saturday for the second installment of the DOOZIE of a project.

Bright Blessings, Jana

Swimming with Dolphins Layout

Hello friends!!!!

This August I had the honor of being invited to be a ScrappyDew designer.

Their cutting files are beautiful, full of life and color and cover all the topics one might want.
For my first project I chose a lovely cutting file "Swimming Dolphins", full of sun, sea, dolphins and children having fun.

The boy in the picture is Jota, my son, enjoying the sea in "Las Caletas", a beautiful beach located in the province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

See you with a new project next friday.
