eBay is having issues - its trying to limit me on what I can put into the 'store' - so the store now has its own website. http://www.crafty1sdesigns.com Check it out - there are 'Featured Items' and "For Sale". Tigger is not listed, but is still for sale. Teddy Bear is now shown in dark brown. Monkey is now for sale. And there are two more characters for sale:

Excited to announce that I have sold 3 die cuts so far on the eBay store. Within the next few days - the website store should be up and running. Have added 4th of July die cuts to the store - check them out - here is a preview.

Card for a friend in Arizona

Here it is:
Used Martha Stewart punches to make the border of the blue piece - and the 'pansies' are punched out butterflies (Martha Stewart) 'tie dyed' with inker from Close to My Heart and Stampin' Up. The oval is from Art Philosphy. She loves blue so she will love it!

WELL the time has come: I have added more die cuts to the eBay store. I do truly love making these for you................ Any die cut can be 'custom made' for you - in size, color, etc. Please advise when purchasing. Click here for the eBay store. Here are a few sneak peeks too: Enjoy and happy shopping!

As most of you know - I am a HUGE NASCAR fan (GO TONY) and always go to the race in my hometown/state. Well now that I am no longer a resident of Phoenix, AZ and am back home in my homestate of Florida - my home track is now Daytona. (oh darn - lol) Well "Creative Kuts" has Febie (idk) who likes to travel with their members on their vacations. Just found out that Febie is going to DAYTONA!!!!

We have posted 5 die cuts on eBay for auction. Please search for us under Crafty 1s Designs - if you cant find us - please let me know. We would love to know what you are looking for (supplies or cuts) for your next project. Have worked on two Father's day cards (cant post pictures until after Father's day so its a surprise) and also a Build a Project from "Creative Kuts". I hope to hear from you soon and hope to post more project pictures soon.
