Love Ya Froggie card

Hi everyone! Today I took part in a challenge over a the Cricut Circle messageboard. The task was to create a project with our favorite cartridge. I have so many favorites (like all of them :-)) but decided my most favorite at the moment is Paisley. I cut the frog out with Core-dinations cardstock then ran it through the cuttlebug and sanded over it. Cute eh?

Hope you like it! Thanks for looking!

You're an Angel card

Hello everyone! Tonight I created a card for the Throwback Thursday challenge at My Creative Time The challenge this week is called "Frame It" and we are to use the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.

I decided to make a window card with the cute angel. All cuts are from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge, except for the actual card which was created on my Gypsy with George and Basic Shapes.

The cloud and stars were made on white cardstock using the Cricut markers first, then cutting. I then coloured in the yellow stars. The garland at the top was five pieces from the Accessories 3 shift feature welded together.

I used my Princess Face Assortment stamps by Peachy Keen for the face on my sweet angel. The "You're an Angel" was stamped using the Tiny Typewriter alphabet set by CTMH.

Hope you like it! Have a great weekend everyone!

It's Your Bird-Day card!

Hi! Here is a card put together this evening using the Cindy Loo cartridge. I just love this doily cut and thought it would look really cute put together as a card. I used my Gypsy to create the card shape. I cut out an extra bird and used a pop dot to stick it on top of the other one. The hearts are from Gypsy Font and I can not remember which cartridge the flowers are from and I have deleted the file from my G! I used my new I-Rock tool and gems for the bling. What a cool tool!!!! Or should I say HOT tool? Either way, I love it! It "It's your bird-day" sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's "Punnylicious" stamp set.

I am entering it in this week's Cricut Cardz challenge where the task was to create any card.

Hope you like it!

My New Cricut Cartridge Storage System

Hi everyone! I haven't got much crafting done lately, I have been organizing my Cricut cartridges! I ran out of room on my shelf and keep buying more so I figured it was time for a change. I found a lot of great tips on the Cricut messageboard and on youtube. I decided to remove all of the books, overlays and cartridges from their packaging and store them using a file system. It was a lot of work! I bought some Iris plastic stacking drawers from Bed Bath and Beyond. I couldn't believe how perfect the dimensions of the drawers were! To make the file folders I scanned the back of each cartridge box and resized it in Microsoft Word to fit. I made the green tabs with the From My Kitchen cartridge. Once I had the folders together I laminated them with my YourStory machine. I decided to make little boxes for my cartridges to protect them. I used a bag cut from Once Upon a Princess and altered it with my Gypsy to fit.

I think I am really going to like this new system - it just seems so much easier to find the cartridge I want! I have put all of the cartridge boxes in a large rubbermaid in the storage room so they are there in case I ever change my mind. I tend to do that once in a while ;-)

Back to School Layout - Paisley

Hi everyone! Wow, I am up late scrapping AGAIN!!! I really need to start getting to bed earlier, the kids don't care if I stayed up late when they are up at 7:00 demanding breakfast! It's starting to catch up with me!

At My Creative Time, Emma challenged us to use our Paisley cartridge to create a project in a Back to School theme. Paisley is one of my very favorites! I decided to make a layout of Jenae's back to school outfits from last year. I remember how excited she was going into Grade 1 choosing all her new clothes, and telling me how cool they were. She wanted me to take a picture of every outfit. I chose her favorite three for this layout.

All cuts are from the Paisley cartridge - I just LOVE those outfit cuts! So adorable! The patterned paper is by Imaginesce. Hope you like it!

Sunshine Smiles

Hi everyone! Here is the card I created this evening with my Cricut. I used Doodletype for the sun and Gypsy Wanderings for the word "Smile". To give my sun a cute little face I used the Princess Face Assortment by Peachy Keen Stamps. I used some scalloped scissors to create the border on the yellow strip of paper. This card will be entered in two challenges this week:

Fantabulous Cricut - Create a project with the word "smile"

Lipstick Card

Hi! Here is a card I created for the challenge this week at the Cricut Cardz challenge blog. The challenge this week was to create a teen birthday card. I used Slumber Party, which is one of the Cricut Lite cartridges that a member from the cricut messageboards was nice enough to pick up for me since in Canada we only have 4 of the 24 cartridges in our Walmarts. I LOVE these cartridges - they are so easy to use. I just love how the layering all fit together! Hope you like it!
