Episode 97: Simple Thanksgiving Card

Hi Crafters.  I had made this large turkey cut for a table decoration but decided not to use it but I didn't want to waste it so I used it on a tall card.  A tall card is 8" x 9" and scored at 4".  This type of card fits in a business envelope.

To make my turkey I used the Cricut Craft Room (CCR).  I can't tell you how much I LOVE this program.  Yes, it has it's kinks but it is so useful.  Especially w/ the Imagine.  All I did was add my layers for the turkey to my mat in CCR, flood filled each layer w/ a color.  Then I layered the images to where it is only one image and then color and cut.  Hopefully that makes sense.  :)

Also for some great news.  I am now at 900 followers!  I also had my 2 year blog-aversary in the last couple of weeks so I want to celebrate those two great things.  Look out for my blog later this week.  I'll have some blog candy giveaway.

Thanks for Watching!

Happy Tuesday crafters!  I first want to apologize for this project.  I am not a scrapbooker.  I really have a hard time making scrapbook pages.  Anywho...  Here is my Creative Critters Imaginations design team project.

I used only two cartridges for this page.  I used the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge for the scalloped square, scalloped circles and the butterfly border.   The designer paper and solid colors are from the Lori's Garden Imagine cartridge.  The page is all one layer.  I used the Cricut Craft Room.  W/ this latest CCR update I am now able to cut.  Woo Hoo!  Can you say I am so excited!  :)  Love it.

I added some stickles and paper flowers to finish it off.  Make sure you check out yesterdays Creative Critters Imagination post and the rest of this week for some real amazing scrapbook pages.  :)

Episode 96: Fabulous Treat Box

I made a treat box for todays project.  It is for a friend of mine and his wife.  It is his birthday today and his wife's a couple of weeks ago.  So I'm doing a combination gift for them.  This box was really easy to make and it is just darling.  It's one of my fave's so far.  It's from the Sweet Tooth Boxes Cricut cartridge.  Enjoy!

Episode 95: Happy What?!?

Since today is the first Wednesday of the month that means it's time for the Simply Crafts w/ Glora and Pam challenge day!  :)  Glora chose the cut this month and she chose the Turkey cut from the Create a Critter cartridge.  When I was thinking of this cut for some reason this idea popped in my head.  It makes me laugh every time I see it.

If you haven't heard you can participate in this challenge as well.  Head on over to the Simply Crafts challenge blog for more details.  Basically you have 2 weeks to create something w/ this cut or if you don't have this cartridge another turkey cut.  You'll then be put in a drawing for some blog candy.

I am giving away the My Pink Stampers Boy Crazy stamp set and some colored ribbon that would be perfect for a boy project.

To be eligible to win this candy head on over to the Simply Crafts challenge blog to participate and to have a ton of fun!  :)

Episode 94: Happy Fall!

Happy Tuesday crafters and friends!  I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween.  For my Creative Critters Imagination design team blog post we are to make a Fall project.  I made a card of course.  :)  All of the designer paper and the cuts came from the Enjoy the Seasons Imagine cartridge.

This is one of my favorite times of the year.  I love Fall colors.  I usually wear the darker colors; dark blues, maroons, greens, and browns.  Those colors are the ones I am most drawn to and find so pretty.  Anywho, enjoy!
