Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas - Day 7 and 8 (#140 Paper Lace)

Hi everyone! Today I have a couple more tags finished from Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas, an even that is taking place now on his blog.

Here is my version of tag 7:

I used the Jubilee Cricut cartridge to make the holly leaves because I don't have Tim's die for that.

And tag 8:

For this one, I didn't own any of the stamps that he used, so I sorted through my stash to find some that would suit the tag. I am happy with the results!
For the gears, I used the Paper Lace II and the Robot Party cartridges. I think this may have been my favorite tag to make so far!

Hope you like the two tags, I can't believe there are only 4 left! Then I will have to get back to my regular Christmas crafting. Nope, I haven't even made my Christmas cards yet! So many projects, too little time - same thing every year!

Have a great weekend everyone!

#70 Jubilee - Love This Kid

Hi everyone! I don't know about you but I am lovin' this spring weather - finally! My kids and I have been spending more time outdoors and my posts have been slowing down a bit. I have some catching up to do!

Here is a layout that I created for the latest weekly challenge at the Cricut Circle Blog. The task was to create a layout about "mom & me". I couldn't find any unscrapped photos of me and my mom so I chose this photo of my son Drew and I on his first day of Preschool. Love this photo - he looks sooooo excited!

On my layout I used three cartridges:

Jubilee - "Love This Kid" (cut at 2.5"), journaling spot (cut at 3.25")

Give a Hoot - Photo Frame (cut at 4.75" wide), border (cut at 0.75"), flowers (cut at 3.5").

Create a Critter - Sqirrels (cut at 3" and 2" - smaller one flipped)

I used the "Mommy and Me" paper line by Prima. The squirrels on the paper are almost identical to the one on Create a Critter. Cute, cute, cute!

Hope you like it!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #11

For this challenge we were asked to create a project using at least three flowers. I cut out three flowers using the Sweet Treats cartridge and started thinking about how to incorporate them on a card then changed my mind. I have not been doing much scrapbooking lately and decided to get a layout done tonight. The flowers as stated above are from the Sweet Treats cartridge and the title "My Sweeties" is made from the Jubilee cartridge and welded together with my gypsy. Hope you like it!
