FLOWER CREATED FROM DINGBAT USING PAZZELS

Okay I think I am getting a little better at being able to cut out dingbats from my fonts on my computer on my pazzles machine..........Now lets see what I can make with this flower......The more and more I learn about this machine, the more and more I get excited about having it.....

LITTLE ONE...........

Just a little work for my scrapnfonts design team....I had to use this font on a project and for the life of me with it being solid black and me not being able to color it in, I couldn't think of anything to make with it...So I just came up with this...I know it isn't your typically little girl colors, but again I had to use these colors among a few others that I ended up not using because I just couldn't fit the other colors in the design.......

At last I think I have got the hang of this awesome machine.....My oh my what stuff you can do with this thing.......make your own clear stamps, emboss, cut just about ANYTHING you can get into your computer.........and the list goes on and on.....Here is my first little creation.....I got these awesome crochet flowers from one of my designers from the bbtb..Carole...what a sweetie she is and these flowers are awesome...love the creme color of these flowers....Well let's see, the box was made using the Expression machine and the ice-cream is a little graphic that I imported into the pazzle software............after doing a little graphic work, it cut out all the items I needed to paper piece this baby together......If you are into being able to cut what cha want or into using loads of fonts on your projects, this machine is for you....you can cut any true type font as well........check out Hallmark Scrapbook, they are selling this awesome machine...I hope to show you more projects in the next coming days......

4. I would love to be able to dance like DANCING WITH THE STARS....hubby and I are going to learn that one day.

Lately I have been so into making projects using postal brown wrap paper...I so love the way projects come out using this stuff and it is so CHEAP....can get lots of projects out of a roll...I picked up my roll from Michaels Arts and Craft store...On this little project, I used the postal wrap to wrap up a small gift for a dear friend of mine..I went to Disneyland last week and picked up a little something for her...She is Disney lover (smile)...I wrapped the package with the paper then embellished it with a Mickey head that was cut from the Mickey Font Cricut cartridge...The mickey head is made of vinyl...........love it, it was so easy to sew on...The scallops were made using the George cartridge with the help of the Design Studio software....
