Video #5 ~ Meet Tracy ~ CraftJunkieToo
Hi, I'm CraftJunkieToo. Thanks for allowing me to introduce myself and give you a chance to see the face behind the voice on the video's. ÜÜÜ
Who is Craft Junkie Too?
I live in Texas with my hubby and 2 boys. By day ~ I am an administrative assistant for a State of Texas facility who provides service to those living with mental disabilities ~ I've been there over 20 years and have worked my way up through the ranks. By night ~ Craft Junkie Too is a crazy crafter. I love to paint, create, scrapbook, make cards, and do video tutorials to show you all my style of crafting ~ CJToo style.
How long have I been crafting?
I have been crafting my entire life (it seems). I was always the creative one in the family and still am Ü. I get more credit than I really deserve because I couldn't do it without my faith, family and following of God, His word and belief that He will provide to those who are Faithful.
Why do I do this?
Simple! I love to craft, I love to help others and I love to share! I am fortunate to have a wonderful belief that good things happen to good people. Be faithful, love your family, love what you do and love God. Simple as that!
My Cricut Experience:
I purchased the Cricut on a whim. I was shopping an after Christmas sale in early 2009 and found it at a very reasonable price. In other words I didn't go to the store to find a Cricut, it found me and CALLED MY NAME.....IT SAID "YOOOO HOOO TAKE ME HOME! LOL!
That day I bought it with the thought that if I didn't like it I would return it. WELL, that never happened. Purchasing the Cricut has opened up a whole new world for me that I just LOVE. I searched the net and YouTube for help in learning this machine and along the way unlocked a desire to help others through video tutorials. I am having a blast and thank all of my friends and followers who like my style of crafting. Yea!
Other interesting "this and that" about Craft Junkie Too:
* My boys are 9 1/2 yrs. apart in age. We never gave up and are blessed with 2 boys.
* My first craft was crocheting and cross stitch. NOT! LOL
* I taught myself how to paint.
* I teach Sunday School to very energetic Kindergarteners.
* I live in the same town with my entire family and in-laws. Yes! Very unusual.
* I am the oldest of 4.
* I am a licensed Cosmetologist but haven't worked in a salon in years. Love the smell of hair products....(LOL)
* My entire attic looks like Hobby Lobby - my wonderful hubby helped me set it all up. It is right off of my Scrap Room and very easy to get to. YEA Me!
* My craft room is now my Scrap Room/Video Room - it's a long skinny room but I LOVE IT!
* I live in Brenham, Texas which is home of the famous Blue Bell Ice Cream. Both of my brothers and one sister-in-law work there along with many family and friends. Blue Bell is trucked all across the Lone Star State and has plants in several southern states.
* My favorite quote - "Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide", My Dad.

Video #3 ~ ::Cricut:: How to Number Your Handbook to Match Your Overlay
Hi everyone....
In this video I will show you my system of numbering my Cricut handbook to match my keypad overlay for that Cartridge. I show you both the shape & font cartridge handbooks. This is what works for me. By taking the time to do this for my handbooks this allows me to see at a glance what key I need instead of searching. I can Look, Cut and Create so much faster and it is so much more fun.
Comments and Feedback is always welcome.....thanks for watching and I hope this idea is helpful to someone.

All Star Baseball Team Project
This is the project I have been working on for the last week or so. My nephew (and godson) made the 9-year olds All-Star baseball team and I made these wooden baseballs personalized for each all-star player on the team.
They will hang these one the fence when they play their game. The ball is actually the size of a dinner plate as that is what I used as my template. I drew them on 1/2" plywood and my wonderful hubby cut them out on the ban saw. I painted them up and personalized them with each boys name and jersey number. I think they turned out great.

For the Bride to Be.....Card
A friend's daughter is getting married soon and I am invited to her bridal shower this Sunday. I wanted to m
ake a card but didn't quite know what I wanted to make.
ake a card but didn't quite know what I wanted to make. I couldn't find any bridal shower things that popped out at me so I decided on a happy couple. I came up with this card and I think it turned out "okay". The crystal stickles really give the brides dress some zing and bling. Stickles is glitter glue found at craft stores. I haven't seen it at Wal-Mart yet - but that doesn't mean they are not there. I love it how it brings your creation to life.
I used the bride and groom off of the Solutions Wedding cartridge. Cut at 3" and then used the shadow feature also.
