Important Priorities

Posted on June 16, 2016 by simplecreations Posted in About Me, Close to my Heart, How to Video, Simple Creations .

What is important to you? Do you have priorities or things in life that you value the most?

Watch the video to get to know the person behind the camera. This is the first video I made with me just talking with you. I had so much fun making it with my new camera. I’m use to doing everything with my iPhone and editing with iMovie. So I’m still trying to figure out what program to edit videos on my computer.

Let me share what is important in my life. Then read the blog below for more details on each topic.

 

 

Bible Time & Journaling

Spending time building my relationship with God is a high priority in my life. I describe it as a relationship because the more time I spend with Him the closer I get. Just like having a friend that I talk to. The Bible is a guidebook and moral code book that I aim to live by. It’s not a book full of rules but it is full of wisdom to help me get through life.

 

Recollection Journals from Michaels:

Recollections Journals

 

I am all about making lists and organizing life. These journals help keep me organized. These are just a few of what Michaels had. My favorite is the Inspiration journal. It helps keep me write down everyday what I am thankful for, my weakness’, my strengths, what I am learning and even a quote of the day helps me continue to learn and grow. The binder is a great way to keep them together but I’m a bit disappointed it only holds 3 journals. Did I mention how affordable they are? At my Michaels, they are only $3.99. Using a coupon can make it even cheaper. I highly recommend these journals.

Passion Planner Calendar:

Passion Planner

Writing down your schedule helps plan your time. Not just parties and events, but also things you need to get done. I have used several different calendars and planners. I love the Erin Condren Planner, but it comes with a high price tag. The one I chose to use this year is the Passion Planner. They have several different formats. This one I was able to print out. It features a monthly calendar along with daily schedule. It has times listed so you can write in exactly what you are doing and when. Some of my favorite features are the weekly todo lists and priority lists. It also has yearly goal planning so you are always moving forward.

Work Badges

Posted on February 27, 2015 by simplecreations Posted in Close to my Heart, Cricut, Explore, Simple Creations .

Today at school my girls were able to dress up as something they want to be when they grow up. One of them wants to be a teacher and the other one wants to be an astronaut. To go with their outfits I made work badges for them to wear.  Both of them were adhered to an old plastic pass. Then I punched a hole and hung it on a lanyard.

I quickly designed them using the new iPad app. Then I cut it out of vinyl with my Cricut Explore. Using vinyl made it easier to transfer all the letters.

Cricut Cartridges Used:

Rocket: Just Because Cards #M43F60

Letters: Close To My Heart Artiste

Cricut Cartridges Used:

New Design Space iPad App

Posted on February 19, 2015 by simplecreations Posted in Explore, Simple Creations .

Cricut just released a new iPad app. It is Design Space, the program we use to design and cut on the Cricut Explore machine. Now you can design anywhere you want, on your iPad.
Currently most people use iPads. So the app has only been created for the iPad. In the future they plan to make one for android users.

Important Facts:
⭐️ design anywhere & save to your Cricut account
⭐️ cut from the iPad – IF you have the Explore Air or and Explore with a Bluetooth wireless card.
⭐️ if your Explore machine isn’t wireless you can still cut from Design Studio on your computer. Just be sure to save what you created on the iPad app. Then open the file in Design Studio on your computer.
⭐️ the app looks a little different than design studio on the computer but it is very easy to use

Go to the App Store and down load Design Space on your iPad. Try it today. I’m sure you will love this convenience. Now I can sit on my couch to design. Love it!

 

Here are some pictures to show you what this new app looks like.

Happy New Year – What is to come?

Posted on January 1, 2015 by simplecreations Posted in About Me, Close to my Heart, Cricut, Explore, Simple Creations .

I’m looking forward to what is to come in 2015.

I’m glad the Holidays are over and now I can get a fresh start and get back into a routine.

 

 

 

 

This past year I started subbing at my girls elementary school. That keeps me busy along with running the cafe for our church, selling Close to my Heart products, and creating projects to share with you.

For Christmas I got a tripod mount for my Mini Ipad. So I am looking forward to shooting more crafting videos for you. I also just ordered the Cricut Explore. I’m so excited! I got a great deal at Cricut.com

 

Ultimate Cricut Explore Machine Set

 

Not sure how long they will have this special.

My new Explore should arrive in a few days. 

So videos to come. I love crafting with. My Cricuts and stamps to create Simple Creations.
