All 3 holders for the Cricut are on sale now for $24.99 each! You can order them to the right with paypal. All are in stock and shipping!

I am an equal opportunity enabler, so when I got my hands on the Silhouette I knew there needed to be holders for that machine as well! So here they are, the Silhouette mini gel pen (from Staples) and mini Sharpie holders! They use the same pens as the Cricut holder, so for those with both machines, no need to buy more pens! There will be samples coming with what you can do with the Silhouette and the pen holders very soon!
The holders are $29.99 for one, or $55 for both holders. This price includes shipping! There is a paypal button in the upper right corner of my blog. There is one button for the Cricut holders and one button for the Silhouette holders, so make sure you choose the right one. All holders are in stock and ready for shipping!
Here is the mini gel pen holder inside the Silhouette...





And here is the mini Sharpie holder for the Silhouette...

O-O-O who's that kid with the Oreo cookie?
Well that would be Ella, and I think more of it ended up on her face then in her mouth! I did this layout with the mini gel pen holders and SCAL 2, you can get the cut file and directions on Custom Crops right here... Oreo cookie layout

Here are all 3 of the holders I offer on this blog.
The mini gel pen holder works best on paper or cardstock and will give you very fine details. The mini gel pens offer 12 colors, they are available at all Staples and sell for $5 a pack.
The mini Sharpie offers 24 different colors and works best on glossy surfaces such as photos, clear acrylic, vinyl and more.
The micro mini Sharpie works best on the glossy surfaces as well, are available in 12 different colors and are ultra fine point so are even better with details.

A long time ago I uploaded this video on my blog... gel pen holder video but for some odd reason it has disappeared! So for those that are new here, this is a must watch!

Something about my family, I have a 15 year old daughter, Taylor, that has been living with diabetes for almost 7 years now. I would love to say we have it under control, but truth is, teenage hormones and diabetes just don't seem to mix. I will also say that I love to imagine the day there will be a cure, we often joke here about having a big bonfire and burning all the diabetes stuff in our house!!! To just be done with it, that would be amazing. But the truth is we have some hard days here, high sugars and low sugars. SCARY stuff let me tell you. Being worried all the time when Taylor leaves the house alone, I mean what if she passes out somewhere, what if no one calls me, what if... Yeah the what ifs...
So that is the story here. So when I was asked to donate some of my holders for the Crop Out Diabetes fundraiser, of course I jumped at the chance! Sara has spent an amazing amount of time for this crop, and I think it is an awesome idea! She is having an online crop where you can win prizes, participate in challenges, and did I mention win prizes? All it takes is a donation of $5 (of course you can always donate more) to get in on the fun! http://www.cropoutdiabetes.blogspot.com/ And you will have a chance to win some of my holders for the Cricut!!! Hope some of you join in! Amy

You are my sunshine... That is my Ella, always with a sweet smile, especially when she is trying to get away with something!! Gotta love her! I did this one with the Silhouette and you can get the directions and cut files on Custom crops here... You are my sunshine

My little man is obsessed with all things super hero, so of course when Superman and Batman cartridges came out for the Cricut I was all over them both!!! Now there was a problem, I had NO Superman paper for this layout (and as scrappers know, the right patterned paper is a must!) so I decided to design my own!!! I love how it turned out, and when I showed Jack he gasped and said "I love it". I don't think you can get a better compliment from a 3 1/2 year old!
