AMK Scrap Blog ....

Good Morning Everyone,

 After months of cold wet weather we are finally seeing some sunshine and warmth! Anyone else out there getting warmed up?

 I came across this website awhile back (sometime in February maybe) I loved her Valentines she made using Create A Critter.... I'm always over thinking my projects! I start out with a simple idea, but then I'm always like "hmm now I can do this, or now I can do that." it seems I can never just stop at the basic idea of something.
 
 It might be because I have TOO MANY tools and fun stuff to play with! Anyhow here is the website I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. (P.S don't forget to check out that custom framed she order, how cute and what a great gift idea)


Have a great day,

I got my gypsy today...

Hey Everyone,

 Just a small updated, I got my Gypsy today! I'm so excited. Provo Craft was awesome with this one, they recieved it ont the 22nd of March and sent me out a brand new one on the 24th of March and it came today.
 I'm in the middle of updating all the info and it will be time to sit down with 80 plus carts and link them back up.... I'm not looking forward to that! (and since I only got about 2 hours of sleep last night because of the baby, I don't know if I will do that today or not!!!!)

 Don't forget to check out Monday's Video for a chance to win the Playtime Lite Cartridge! I will pick a winner on Friday!

Playing Outside - A Layout

Hey Everyone,
 I've been itching to get some scrapbooking done, but its just been hard to find the time to do so!
 With my Gypsy broken and all my Cricut Carts packed in boxes it has been even harder!
 I finally got my boxes down did a layout over the last few days. Let me just say I sure do miss my Scrapbooking room where I could get away for hours at a time, its not easy after having all that space to be back at a kitchen table!

Episode 77



 Thanks Everyone for stopping by ... don't forget to head on over to my facebook page for daily updates!

Our Cricut Carts!

Hey Everyone,
 *** Please check out "Blog Notes" on the left side of our blog! This will explain why our blog has changed a little over this past week***
 We have got so many questions about our Cricut Carts that I thought I would do a video!




We got our carts at Amazon.com! You can find online as "Honey Can Do" rolling carts!
We think that these are really worth the money, the hold so much and with the ablity to roll where you do them to go it makes it worth getting one.

Thanks everyone

April's Calendar

Hey Everyone,

 I thought I would give you guys and update on my life!


About 3 weeks ago we moved out of house and put all of our stuff into storage in the town where we are hoping to move.

We were planning on moving into a place there, but it feel through at the last minute.

So I’m with our girls up in Nevada staying with my Grandma and having what we are calling a “Mini Vacation”

My husband is down in California because he needed to start his new job!

I brought most of my Scrapbooking stuff to my Grandma’s so I could get back to scrapbooking, however with my husband gone I haven’t had a lot of help with the girls which I’m very use to having, I also don’t have my “own” room or space to really set everything up so I have no way of really setting up my camera to shot a video.

And it has made it a little harder to Scrapbooking with my Gypsy broken! I don’t even know if I remember how to use plain old carts in my cricut! ha ha ha ha ha

However I did find some time to get my April Calendar pages done.

I had a really nice time doing this. I used my April Showers Mini Cart for this project!

I got this cart about a month ago and have not had time to use it.

I hope you enjoy the video
 

 
Here are some pictures of my Calendar pages:
 



Thanks Everyone,

A gypsy tip

(A little note to add: MY GYPSY BROKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so bummed, I contacted Provo Craft and they were AWESOME! I waiting for a shipping lable to get it sent off to them... I will keep you updated)

Hi Everyone,

 Most of you know that I got my Gypsy for Christmas and I really wasn't sure at first if I was going to like it, and I even felt in the beginning that it might not have been worth getting.
 But I gave it a few days and I have to say I LOVE MY GYPSY!
 I hardly ever use my Cricut without my Gypsy. It has made cricut cutting so much easier.

 You see I often time use lots of different cartridges for one project so the biggest thing it has helped me do is save time. I no longer have to switch cartridges in and out, I no longer have to have 4 or 5 Cartridges all over my work space!!!! Love it!

 So here is a video on another feature I was at first confused about how to use on my gypsy. Now that I've figured it out its another time saver!

Watch this video first:



Watch this video second:


Thanks Everyone,

Journaling with your Computer

Hi Everyone,
 This is a question that I get asked alot. How do I use my computer to do my journaling.

 Here is a short video the very basic idea of using your computer to journal.




I love, love, love fonts and here is a list of the ones that Wendy & I use most often

Ammys Handwritting


Minya Nouvelle - This is a great font! its a little fun but very simple so reading it easy.

Kentucky Fried Chicken (Wendy often refers to this font as “Whats the Chicken Fried Font I like”?)

Bradley Hand - this is a standard font on most computers

Jayne Print


All these fonts can be found online and here are some websites we like to use for downloading our fonts.

http://www.dafont.com/

http://www.fonts101.com/

You can also google the name of a font and find a place to download it.

Also Kevin & Amanda website has a great Scrapbooking/Font page! She can turn your hand writting into a font! There are great "handwritting fonts' for free on her site and I love alot of them.

Thanks Everyone,

Wendy's big Scrapbook Room UNVEILING! BLOG CANDY

So here it is guys!  AND may I say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!  Ok, Tina is in the middle of moving, so originally we planned on doing our Anniversary week this week but it just isn't going to work out.  So I am hoping we can do it next week because Tina will be settled in her temporary house until her other place is ready! :-) 

Here's my scrapbook room video!  Please leave a comment for blog candy.  Make sure you leave a way for us to contact you in your comment.  I will draw a winner next week.  This video was supposed to be posted last Friday 3/4 but never made it because I've had computer issues!  We are a mess folks ;)

March Calendar Pages

Hey Everyone,

 This week is going to be a crazy week for me... don't expect too many posts from me I will be making the 4 hour move this week with my family!

 I have to say that the last month and a half has been a very difficult time for my family we have been dealing alot of crazy circumstances and emotions have been running high!

 I will be so glad when we get moved into our new place, my husbands starts his new job and we are settled. I'm looking forward very much to being surrounded by Friends and Family and once again! And I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to being moving across town from my Bestie! I never thought I would be able to say that I lived in the same town as Wendy. I just figured life had taken us to difference places and we would have to make due with Skype.

 Since there is so much going on with me I don't know when I will be scrappin again but Wemdy will keep all the inspiration coming :)

 Here are our March Calendar Pages!



Here are some pictures of the finished projects.


Thanks,
