Single Scrapin' Chick

Good evening -I finally figured out how to download a video from You Tube. I had to share this video. About a month ago I was driving home from a long day at work. And this song came on the radio. My close friends and family know that I don't usually cry alot. But this song literally brought me to tears because at the time God knew I needed to hear those specific words at the time. I love it. I had to go look it up and the words are AWESOME. I found out the video and song actually is about family that lived in Texas that are close friends to Josh Wilson. If I remember right -the little baby boy was born and there was a major problem with his heart. If you go back to "you tube" you can find the rest of the story. The little boy is ok and he has most incredible ministry about his heart that God healed. I hope everyone enjoys the song and video because this song is keeping my head up and looking towards God. Have a great weekend Single Scrapin' Chick Michell...

Ok everyone I have actually been busy today-Sunday. Making Coffee cards and finishing up some cards that I needed to put the finishing touches on. I am not that wordy tonite so sorry. Enjoy...... Chloe had to poise-for pics..... This is one of the cups that I posted last time. (and yes I did sew with my Pixie sewing machine) I love it. The inside of the coffee cards. Gift Cards goes inside. Ok this the envelope out of brown rolls of paper-used the Cricut -I can't remember which one. "Listen Honey, God didn't promise it would be easy-he just promised it would be worth it!" and yes I did use the Copic markers. Oops -nice pic And the last ones.. I do like how these turned out. I hope everyone enjoyed my cards collections. I do have some of my Halloweens Coffee Cards already done. But you will have to wait to see what they look like. See ya for now. and have great Labor Day!!

Alright I now I just posted something but I had to explain why I have not been Blogging. Anyway, I am in the processing of making cards. I dear friend of mine has in Texas terms say "Roped me in project." For some time now my muse has left my house I really don't know where she went. But I finally got the creative juices flowing again.. Wooo Hooo-- I had seen in a card magazine a coffee to go cup card. I wanted to make but couldn't understand how I was it so badgoing to cut out rectangle shape of card. Ok I actually had a EUERKA moment. I do have a Gypsy and frankly "I LOVE IT." I realized I had bought the Cherry Limeaid cartiage. Anyway this is what you do-Take the shape on black out and then use the "Hide Button" and take away the lime. On the side. Anyway it is really late and I am going to re post this repost because I am rambling. But I have pictures of the paper pieces "Coffee to go Cups." I made 48 cups. Check them out. And yes I ...

Well its me again. Sorry it has taken me so long to sit down and Blog. The month of July was long and hard. The week before July 12, 2010 my Dad was put in the Hospital. This man is a strong 68 year old tower of strength and King of piddling (so anything and everything). You know Mr. Handy man. He actually told my mom "I think we need to go the hospital." That was July 6th, 2010-after a lot of test and one F- on the Heart Carth, he had a 5 Bypass Surgery on July 12, 2010. I will ahve to admit that God sure tested my Faith and Strength. But by God's grace and mercy my Dad is doing great!! I have to say that God's time is something else. My little brother Ryan. Well if you see him he really istn't little-he is about 6'3" (give or take more). Anyway he has been away from the Panhandle for a long time living in the Washington D.C. area. It was such a blessing that my brother was there with us. He helped with our Dad a lot in the Hospital and he has helped aft...

Well the weekend is over. Darn't. This pic my Granny gave me one of my old photos. I cut the dishes with the Cricut Cartiage "From the Kitchen" Paper is from "October Afternoon", the flower stamp is a dollar one from "JoAnn's". The Coffee card the stamp is from http://www.thereshegoesclearstamps.com/ I love this set. You have to go and check out the website. She has the neatest stamps. The paper is the scraps from my 8x8 page. I managed to get two cards out of those scraps. And people call me frugle for a reason. I guess my favorite part of the weekend was Sunday. Texas panhandle weather for Sunday was actually nice. It was only in the 70's about 11:00am. That is pretty cool for right now. Anyway I was driving home this afternoon on fairly busy street. I noticed all the cars on the left hand side were all at a dead stop. I am looking all over for a police or ambulance coming but nope. I looked over to my right and saw the oddest sight (and ...

Well Hello scrapers. What a week!!! Actually for me it was really a good week. My plan for this weekend is to actually sit at my "Crap table" I mean "Scrap table". I have come to the realization that I tend to buy way to much scrapbooking stuff. And have finally decided that I need to USE it. Any way I am just rambling. (This is "Chloe" I just had to add her to my blog.) Last nite I went surfing and went to You Tube and found a video for the "Gypsy" it was about the app for photos. Because when I first did that update I thought "I'm not going to use it." but after seeing that idea it made since. I am sorry that I don't remember who made the video. But anyway what she did was all the page ideas or sketches that she had downloaded to her computer. She downloaded to her "Gypsy." Well, I just did it and it was really easy. All you have to do is plug your "Gypsy" into the USB cable and double click on the your syn...

Ok I have finally downloaded my pictures. I can't believe that is already June. I just can't believe how fast this year is going. Below I have my Father's Day card. Enjoy.. I love this card its for my "Grandpa Bill" for people that know me well. I am a horriable speller. A friend of mines 4th grade son to inform me of my mistake. Great..... Anyway. This card was so easy. The circle was from "Wild Card". I then embossed new folder from Cuttlebug big circle (borrowed from a friend) Got to have it. The grass "Plantin Schoolbook" and golf tee from "Everyday Paper Dolls". The inside says "Have a HOLE in 1 day!" I cut the "Dad" out with "Base camp" cricut cartiage and then embossed it the Cuttlebugwith Argyle pattern folder. And then I took a dobber with black ink on it. Just a bit. Making it distressed looking. And yes I did sew on the card. Father's Day Card inside of card "Dad, Growing up we may ha...
