When I first look at it - I smile, then I grin, then I chuckle.....cause I mean girl.... you ARE fabulous!! I just love this photo! Now where did I get this you might ask? Well I picked it up at a site where I spend a lot of time (I'm afraid to admit) and it's called PINTEREST.<br /><br />A few months ago I joined this <a href="http://pinterest.com/myamagoo/" style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198);">PINTEREST</a><span style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198);"> </span>site and I've been hooked ever since. It's like my online idea book, organized and selected just by me :)<br /><br />What is Pinterest? I went to the site and copied what they have there -<br /><div style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198); margin-top: 20px;"><b>What is Pinterest?</b></div>Think of Pinterest as a virtual pinboard — a place where you can create collections of things you love and "follow" collections created by people with great taste.<br />People use Pinterest to collect and share all sorts of things -- wedding inspiration, favorite T-shirts, DJ equipment. You name it, people are pinning it.<br />We know you have great taste in something. Our mission is to make Pinterest the best place for you to share your taste with the world.<br /><br />*Isn't that cool? I love that I have a place to just 'pin' any and all images that I want to save for later. It's not taking up any space on my hard drive which is a definite bonus :) You get to check out what other people are pinning - and if you like it - you can pin it to your own boards - which you can customize for that perfect portfolio of ideas to keep handy tee hee! (at least that's what I use it for :)<br /><br />Because this site is still in the BETA testing stage - you need to request an invite - mine took about a week to get invited and my mom I think was around the same.<br /><br />So go to the site - sign up - let me know when you get on the PINTEREST board and we'll start following eachother!!<a style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);" href="http://pinterest.com/myamagoo/"> Come and play </a>- it's so much fun :) :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg357/alfagetti1/Untitled-3.gif" width="700" />Magoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16997282127969968806noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6247616492451111858.post-52643759070254202722011-03-06T00:31:00.010-05:002011-03-06T09:13:40.131-05:00A different colour Pallette for me today.I've been trying to get to all of my pads of beautiful paper that have sat unopened and unused because they are just too darn pretty.

<br />
I wanted to design something that is totally me - and this is it!!<br />
<br />
I've designed a brand new button for my blog that you can pretty up your own sidebar with.<br />
<br />
Just keep in mind that this is designed to fit into a 240px width column. So if it looks cut off, just go into your design tab and fix the width under adjust width.<br />
<br />
I hope you like it - I spent way too much time on it - but I really like opening up my blog and seeing the calming blue and green with a touch of brown. Finally, my blog is complete.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg357/alfagetti1/blog-button.gif" /><br />
<textarea cols="22" rows="4" style="text-align: center;"><a border="0" href="http://www.cricutinspiration.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg357/alfagetti1/blog-button.gif" /></a></textarea><br />
<br />
Just copy the html code in the box above, then paste into a <span style="font-weight: bold;">html</span> gadget in your layout tab and voila!<br />
<br />
<br />

I was so surprised when I looked and saw I have so many friendly faces that pop in! I started this blog almost 2 years ago just as a place to post my creations for my family to see via the internet. I can't always post as much as I'd like, and you guys still pop in just to see how I'm doing. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It really means a lot :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, I just wanted to say I appreciate you guys, and Thank you for taking the time to leave me a kind word or two. It really does make my day to see that someone has left me a little note to say hi :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Warm and fuzzies - isn't it great? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks guys, you are the best, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am stop #6 on this weekend blog hop, below is a complete list of all the wonderful blogs you have and will be visiting:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Valentine's Day is the theme, anything goes. After thinking about a project to make, I decided my house was lacking in the Valentines Day decoration department. I came up with a very girly, very 'blingy' Valentines Day Banner (or some people call them bunting?).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A few things about this project:</div><div style="text-align: center;">1) All the pattern paper I used in this project I designed (yay me!)</div><div style="text-align: center;">2) I have a giveaway posted at the end of this blog post</div><div style="text-align: center;">3) I will be sharing this file with all of my wonderful followers (gotta love it when someone does the work for ya right? :)<br />
4) I used Cindy Lou (for the font), Hannah Montana (for the hearts) and Tie the Knot(triangles) for this project. If you don't have Hannah Montana feel free to delete those hearts, and substitute hearts you do have on your gypsy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And away we go!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I started off by getting all my paper out and placed on my mats. I used 12x12 mats for this project.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-mjLI365BXR9M6wwXa7xVUb0rzrM82eMReP-Xu1_GfYSQ37Ppq7gsiBLtFBj7vdPwlW49zgpskK-0tkCrMRfoA8JtxaBRfhFa9rDp0yTKg3TWN4kx25hSodAdhshEyf6Hz4Pwpq19CXg/s1600/paper+placement.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-mjLI365BXR9M6wwXa7xVUb0rzrM82eMReP-Xu1_GfYSQ37Ppq7gsiBLtFBj7vdPwlW49zgpskK-0tkCrMRfoA8JtxaBRfhFa9rDp0yTKg3TWN4kx25hSodAdhshEyf6Hz4Pwpq19CXg/s640/paper+placement.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Once cut out I laid everything out to see how it all looked before I started gluing (a very hard lesson to learn, it took me some time lol).</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1UrL7w0IMzR3-zXTbbSFKLwdEKvnval68zXoPe2N1Se-IUX1S9MwD_tvfh0cwHNg9z3NotMRzFnuBJQgwdCDp7czhrwBiwlfNDl9wFO4mjehNuef59NKnLjZjq3h5NuVYCvB_JIPIzPk/s1600/project+cut+out.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1UrL7w0IMzR3-zXTbbSFKLwdEKvnval68zXoPe2N1Se-IUX1S9MwD_tvfh0cwHNg9z3NotMRzFnuBJQgwdCDp7czhrwBiwlfNDl9wFO4mjehNuef59NKnLjZjq3h5NuVYCvB_JIPIzPk/s640/project+cut+out.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Everything looked great, so I glued my scallop borders onto my base triangles.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMP7YXEQfY3VB5-zvfmErIxdu8qIDChhCqF2pZihsjFAW2uhMfhE9kiAAuTqB-0p_XdB2UG0-6sJvjWCsItSRQ2O42JXQv75hd-XsF7iI8y4K0bxCdnZkKQcaEkmrH-gDIRelrhuFtFuo/s1600/glue+scallop+layer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMP7YXEQfY3VB5-zvfmErIxdu8qIDChhCqF2pZihsjFAW2uhMfhE9kiAAuTqB-0p_XdB2UG0-6sJvjWCsItSRQ2O42JXQv75hd-XsF7iI8y4K0bxCdnZkKQcaEkmrH-gDIRelrhuFtFuo/s640/glue+scallop+layer.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Next I ran the letters through my cuttlebug machine, I used the swiss dots folder</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaLMyXY-T9ERVD1fvNfIFZjBtt3bxjSrw1KR4F7g1ALxYdw2t6e2L6EJ2xJkF0CRnDdBRAdB3xYWwrIzm4eTxiJ_LbPzOF2jHfy5kVmoshW-VSyBGX0eBbNLeO7FNpXIeP_kDBW7a3t78/s1600/emboss+letters.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaLMyXY-T9ERVD1fvNfIFZjBtt3bxjSrw1KR4F7g1ALxYdw2t6e2L6EJ2xJkF0CRnDdBRAdB3xYWwrIzm4eTxiJ_LbPzOF2jHfy5kVmoshW-VSyBGX0eBbNLeO7FNpXIeP_kDBW7a3t78/s640/emboss+letters.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This project sort of evolved and grew as I went along. I found the letters to be sort of 'blah' and didn't really pop enough. Out came my pop dots lol!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKC4MdBxIQKa8blTlBVq_ejrgeoV1D9VHDcr7ARO2ipx1BD8tD4JuUo8rzELmlV309EBViLXsNDBUQMrr7RtKOaQBfUA4PGxFrX_w7He4tOCogHRepqT6wgQFo_v8WAx0MNdbeCaL7Q4k/s1600/Pop+Dots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKC4MdBxIQKa8blTlBVq_ejrgeoV1D9VHDcr7ARO2ipx1BD8tD4JuUo8rzELmlV309EBViLXsNDBUQMrr7RtKOaQBfUA4PGxFrX_w7He4tOCogHRepqT6wgQFo_v8WAx0MNdbeCaL7Q4k/s640/Pop+Dots.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I still found them 'blah' and I love glittery sparkly <i>thingies</i>, plus my rhinestones and Irock wanted to come out and play. How could I say no? I would NEVER have attempted gluing down all those by hand - my Irock is the bomb!! Took me 10 minutes to do all the letters (I just used the dots from the embossing as my template).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6fJJ1q7vTHPM0-TmH1kBbjQLSQh_tUWwuvdHgWuOG-Ev88TSKUU3ecpgx3K1t8UXA2gwc_1HUFTUMZ_EEMdPGARLQmBtz8E_4KvyRGJR7JdkyO4zwqvS-uadXAxkNzHcZyWH-nnYisDE/s1600/Bling+out+Words.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6fJJ1q7vTHPM0-TmH1kBbjQLSQh_tUWwuvdHgWuOG-Ev88TSKUU3ecpgx3K1t8UXA2gwc_1HUFTUMZ_EEMdPGARLQmBtz8E_4KvyRGJR7JdkyO4zwqvS-uadXAxkNzHcZyWH-nnYisDE/s640/Bling+out+Words.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">I forgot to take a pic, but at this point I got some red paper and some of my patterned paper, popped it into in the cricut and cut out 6 hearts really quick (3 full hearts and 3 with a cutout). The pic below shows how I glued the red heart down (after I ran it through the cuttlebug first). Then I folded the other heart in half and glued it along the spine. I held it in place for a little bit and it voila - instant dimension :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhotmz2X5GASX-MDCpx3eZf9L8cUpAVg6WlBp05ar-8clkb4B7gP0oFdh0btEe5ZmiYP0atxPOk45pG-Qwk0vXaz4TTP7EXQqU2marUaQptxSHzlJpdOK86ZHefE829cjbjKCSzHhhz4TE/s1600/fold+up+heart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhotmz2X5GASX-MDCpx3eZf9L8cUpAVg6WlBp05ar-8clkb4B7gP0oFdh0btEe5ZmiYP0atxPOk45pG-Qwk0vXaz4TTP7EXQqU2marUaQptxSHzlJpdOK86ZHefE829cjbjKCSzHhhz4TE/s640/fold+up+heart.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Got my Cropodile out and punched some holes in each corner so I can thread these and hang them up later :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9CrW3uL9WAC9EktdgVFoeeDTmXqhudN18i-fF15WmSv3OprR-MePNFen48C7v9KhOFEfwmXwpgprJF5wIgWKnMozVa0QNR4s1StKuDE__zDyja0m58P-OxxOHBFevP8OefAaRXGO39mk/s1600/punch+holes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9CrW3uL9WAC9EktdgVFoeeDTmXqhudN18i-fF15WmSv3OprR-MePNFen48C7v9KhOFEfwmXwpgprJF5wIgWKnMozVa0QNR4s1StKuDE__zDyja0m58P-OxxOHBFevP8OefAaRXGO39mk/s640/punch+holes.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">What's this?!?! 'blah' hearts? no way!!....get the Irock!! </div><div style="text-align: center;">p.s. TULIP rhinestones (found in Walmart) work fabulously (is that a word?) with the Irock and at a fraction of the price! I found I just needed to hold it a touch longer - <i>does anyone else like the smell it makes when you're melting the glue? or am I just weird? :)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiom3fqxbPQeUOhoxs1mjRH00vsE1ZrScG0elC9KSa445EKNTw7fiqpTVMzBt-g5ocg0G-D2NO8aJ_2njmmoWyzbMomoWgLnc_UQwudRgSAvrMboMwQt0uXqFdIuMrvM4oDvRq-b04quLU/s1600/Tulip+Rhinestones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiom3fqxbPQeUOhoxs1mjRH00vsE1ZrScG0elC9KSa445EKNTw7fiqpTVMzBt-g5ocg0G-D2NO8aJ_2njmmoWyzbMomoWgLnc_UQwudRgSAvrMboMwQt0uXqFdIuMrvM4oDvRq-b04quLU/s640/Tulip+Rhinestones.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next up was to string all my pretty triangles up on some metallic cording. Then I dug through my ribbon <i>ball</i> (notice I didn't say extremely organized ribbon box?) and snipped away. Then I just tied, and tied, and fluffed and fluffed until the ribbon looked ok.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNUTpR0miuz25BEdlyatrk_4SlXILJ7PZDntQFghIAmGuDCdNWUikBqo8HuUWBlI7P8pZmPxUJfd-MmJ8BuC4M-cinPinlkt8_Pm1RhEyqg7IaYdgNpJ3XDXf1OGt2yx-SNN5H2BlSL0s/s1600/ribbon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNUTpR0miuz25BEdlyatrk_4SlXILJ7PZDntQFghIAmGuDCdNWUikBqo8HuUWBlI7P8pZmPxUJfd-MmJ8BuC4M-cinPinlkt8_Pm1RhEyqg7IaYdgNpJ3XDXf1OGt2yx-SNN5H2BlSL0s/s640/ribbon.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

(My favourite words lately lol!).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was searching for some crafts that I could do for Christmas that were cheap and would make the house more festive.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have loved these tin stars forever....but they are so expensive at Michael's stores (and that's the only place I've seen them where I live).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizxvHT1E6aziiJxpvNoOo5daaQIEnXG5xFXrPM6clNFCbAPepMOhVMcfqbG9faJha_GlYwuvCUiVh3Vo-634Qm6sH15BpV-WWS3JNqNcaZ-GsZQK7HrVr290XUPYiRL0M3PCjksRns9DY/s1600/AAAAAkKnqFsAAAAAAB0tzQ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizxvHT1E6aziiJxpvNoOo5daaQIEnXG5xFXrPM6clNFCbAPepMOhVMcfqbG9faJha_GlYwuvCUiVh3Vo-634Qm6sH15BpV-WWS3JNqNcaZ-GsZQK7HrVr290XUPYiRL0M3PCjksRns9DY/s400/AAAAAkKnqFsAAAAAAB0tzQ.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Enter the Blog: <a href="http://choosetothrive.blogspot.com/">Choose to Thrive </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The stars must have been aligned just right, (no pun intended) the odds of finding this by accident.... I don't know how, but I'm so glad I stumbled upon her tutorial to make my own fake tin stars!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I included the link to her blog ~ and the link to her tutorial (it's very well written I might add) you will find here---> <a href="http://choosetothrive.blogspot.com/2010/12/make-your-own-tin-craft-stars-from-cake.html">Tin Stars from a Cake Pan </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's simply genius! I have bought 3 large oven liner tray thingies and I plan to work on these as soon as I print out the template!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then I can take pictures with my camera (ulterior motive here, he he he). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you to this wonderful blogger for sharing a great project :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

What?!?!<div style="text-align: center;">I would like to welcome our newest addition to our family : the Nikon D90. ahhhh.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">She's here, she's really here. My wonderful hubby brought this baby home today - he knew I was having a bad day (and our anniversary is coming very soon) so he gave me my gift early. I cried, I don't deserve this, it's too much. He insisted I unwrap it and start snapping - how did I get so lucky? I love my man :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Laura, get ready for the Christmas photos...a photo a day of the ornaments on my tree...now you'll have tons to use as wallpaper on your laptop :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">oh, did I mention I love my husband and he is the best?! Now, how do you top this gift when a) you are out of work, b) want to make something homemade and c) but what? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">any ideas? I'll be making a special supper, but man, how do you compare to a camera? ( I know he doesn't care, but I do, I want to return the happy feeling :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZegHL3L5XZq5C-UjmirLXsQiPRWtmKhEM_MzwZuuxr9-eMyfy6DMShOiYxi50HsyT-pNYH8UbyeLj4Wm3TgPh8yLk4k4dtx8ht2BbzZzvJTzhOkeTjxQ69RhAMpWz1wEdsyOceaRnlWI/s1600/table.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZegHL3L5XZq5C-UjmirLXsQiPRWtmKhEM_MzwZuuxr9-eMyfy6DMShOiYxi50HsyT-pNYH8UbyeLj4Wm3TgPh8yLk4k4dtx8ht2BbzZzvJTzhOkeTjxQ69RhAMpWz1wEdsyOceaRnlWI/s640/table.jpg" border="0" height="456" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I noticed a difference IMMEDIATELY. Seriously. I found the section for focal points (yes they really DO make a difference). And look, see just on top of the candle where it's all nice and sharp? I focused right there and it worked! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Straight out of Camera shot: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Didn't need a tri pod for this, just put my elbows on the table.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Settings used were:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Shutter: 1/160</div><div style="text-align: center;">Aperture: 1.8 (I love how the background is so soft and lovely)</div><div style="text-align: center;">ISO: 320 *can I just take a moment to say how AMAZING the ISO selection is on this? talk about an upgrade from my D40x (shhh, don't let her hear you say that, it might hurt her feelings).</div><div style="text-align: center;">White Balance: I set it to tungsten, and it's not so bad like this.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">oh man, oh man....this is heaven. So sorry but suffice to say there will be lots of photos added daily :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, this little birdie caught my eye :) So I shot at her from many different angles and many different focal points.
