#123 New Arrival - Baby Card

Hi everyone! I created this BABY card for the 5th challenge at the Cricut Circle Blog celebrating their Blog-iversary. It's a recipe challenge and the task is to create a project using 1 title, 2 or more Cricut cuts and 3 or more buttons.

The cartridge I used for my card is New Arrival.

The BABY blocks are cut at 1.25".

The rattles are cut at 1.75".

I threaded some brown fiber through the holes in the buttons and used them to cover the round part of the rattles.

The argyle and striped patterned paper is by Stampin' Up!

#35 Love Struck 2010 - Valentine Mailbox

Hi everyone! Hope you're enjoying your week so far! I'm hoping to get lots of crafting done this weekend - I have a ton of projects planned! I'm in a blog hop next weekend (Feb. 19th) at Joys Life.Com to celebrate her birthday and really want to get my project done a few days in advance! I'm also planning to create a Valentine's Day banner with my daughter to enter in the monthly challenge at the Cricut Circle blog. We also need to create 20 Valentines for her classmates and 8 more for my son's little friends. Lots of crafting fun ahead so stay tuned!



Here is a little mailbox I created for my son for his Valentine's Day cards. I will be making two more, likely with different designs for my other two children. I am entering this in the challenge at Crafting with Cristina where the task was to create a Valentine's Day themed project that was not a card.


The cartridges I used are:

Love Struck 2010

- mailbox cut at 11 1/2"

- "sweetie" cut at 1 1/4"

- hearts border on the side cut at 4 1/2"

New Arrival

- frog cut at 2 1/4"


It still amazes me how I'm always discovering cuts on cartridges that I never knew existed. I had no idea that there was a mailbox cut on the Love Struck cartridge - love it!

Hope you like it!

Sweet Pea Card

Hi everyone! Tonight I have for you a new baby card! I made this card for the challenge over at Cricut Cardz this week. The task was to create a baby card using only the colours green, orange, yellow and white. The pea pod cut is from the Country Life cartridge and the Sweet Pea title is from New Arrival. Hope you like my creation!

Throwback Thursday - New Arrival

Hello! Today my daughter and I were working on Emma's challenge from http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ Jenae loves scrapbooking and thinks these challenges are so much fun! This week the cartridge New Arrival was in the spotlight and we had to create a baby themed project using this cartridge. I chose to make a baby girl card. I used New Arrival for all cuts except the stitched circle which I cut from Mini Monograms.

Jenae made another 6X6 layout to put into her new album. She had a picture of her and her baby brother that she thought would be perfect. She chose all the products to use and I think they went together nicely. She loves stamping and used one of my CTMH alphabets for the title. The elephant is from New Arrival but she did not want to use the layer.

Showers of Love for Baby

This is a project I made for the Cuttlebug Challenges Blog #79. It was to be a baby shower inspired project so I made this cute little giftbag - the first one I have ever made! First, I cut out the gift bag with my cricut using the "Once Upon a Princess" cartridge. I ran the unfolded piece through my cuttlebug using the swiss dots embossing folder. Then I folded the bag and attached a brown paper strip around it. I cut out and embossed the butterfly using a cuttlebug combo folder. Then I cut out the footprints and the Little One words using the "New Arrival" cricut cartridge. I added ribbon for the handles, put in some tissue paper and voila! - a cute little gift bag!
