Oh boy! I knew the PDDU right away and I'm pretty sure I recognize a couple of others but certainly not all. I wish I had more time to figure it out! (I'm on break between classes right now.) You've done a LOT of work on this, but WOW! Your layout looks FANTASTIC!! Incredible work, Melinda! Everything has come together perfectly!!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful project, Melinda! I just love all the dimension you give to your images! That Santa Claus is absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat is just too, too cute.........I love it. Gonna have to scraplift parts of this one!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat project melinda, so adorable. I see some Lyrical Letters in this one! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove all the beautiful detail on this layout. The reindeer are absolutely adorable :)
ReplyDeleteWow, all of your layouts are just awesome! I don't know that I could ever guess what carts you used! I'm just too busy drooling over your finished project.
ReplyDeletePaper Dolls, lacy labels, Christmas SOluitons, CHristmas Cheer, joy of the season, and winter frolic. So I am guessing 6 total.
ReplyDeleteHi you used three carts: Cindy Loo, Paper Dolls (this was the given hint) and Season of Joy. Just love this beautiful layout. Great Job.
ReplyDeleteDebeeze10@yahoo.com
Well I might be way off here but I am guessing you used 5 cartridges. Paper Doll Dress Up (given as a hint), Joys of the Season, Heritage, Winter Woodland and Cindy Loo. I hope I am correct I would love this layout. I would also love to have half the cartridges you do, WOW!! I would be in Cricut Hog Heaven.

This is soooooooooo cute !! I love it. I don't know which cartridges you used, other then the paperdolls :)). Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your layout :)).
ReplyDeleteHugs Monique
Wow, this layout is incredible and you sure used a lot of cartridges! From what I can see, you used PDDU for Santa & the bag, Create a Critter for the reindeer, Christmas trees and the lights, Winter Woodland for the sleigh, Christmas solutions for the wreath & bow, and Celebrate with Flourish for the Merry Christmas. So I'm guessing five. Now I'm not sure whether the photo corners are a punch or cricut, but I'm dying to know because they are gorgeous and I would love to use them on some pages! Again, awesome job and this guessing game was fun :)
ReplyDeleteBeautilful layout! Your work is amazing! I couldn't even begin to guess which cartridges you used. All I know is this is fantastic!
ReplyDelete~Saundra
Awesome layout. I am going to guess you used 6 cartridges.
ReplyDeleteVery Cute Layout! I'm going to guess you used 5 cartridges - Paper Doll Dress Up, Winter Woodland, Create-a-Critter, Celebrate with Flourish, and Picturesque.

ReplyDeletePENNYKITZ@CHARTER.NET
Great layout! I don't know what cartriges you used but I love it!
ReplyDeleteMRedding@cuckooschicken.com
I don't own a Cricut or the cartridges but your layout is great and I love all of it. Okay, even if I did have cartridges, it's more than I'd care to count.
ReplyDeleteCarole Miller
OMG, this is awesome!! From a newbie that hope she'll someday be able to do this!! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI am no good at guessing, because I think your genius art is incredible and I can't imagine being able to create things so gorgeous, but I'll guess you used 4 different carts to make this.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Lisa
Melinda I'm just amazed each time I see your beautiful creations. I've owned a machine since black friday and only tried it a few times and have never achieved a fraction of the results of your creations you create. Girl send some of your creations to some of these layout/pagekit places. You would be hired in no time with you creating your own designs (not using the Cricut carts). As for the number of carts used...........Paper Dolls, Create a Critter, Picturesque, Winter Wonderland,
ReplyDeleteI don't know what carts you used, but I love your layout, it is gorgeous. I have signed up for your newsletter and can't wait to start receiving it. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent. I am a follower of your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute layout!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.

You use a lot more cartridges than I do, and I can't guess which ones, but I'm guessing you used 7 different ones.
ReplyDeleteGreat layout!
I am guessing You have used 5 cartridges and I have signed up for your newsletter. It is darling.
ReplyDeleteI think you used 5 cartridges.
ReplyDeleteThey are Paper Doll Dress Up, Joys of the Season, Create a Critter, Christmas Cheer, Storybook.
The fourishes have me baffed but coud be from Storybook
Absolutely adorable! I love your beautiful creations. Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a cricut, so have no idea so I'll gues 4 cartridges--love the LO, it's super cute!
ReplyDeleteI just love all your layouts. You do amazing work. I know you used at least six, PDDU, Christmas Cheer, Winter Woodland, Celebrate with Flourish, Create a Critter, Christmas Solutions, and I think at least two more. Lacy Labels or Cindy Loo, Joys of the Season. So my guess is going to be 8 cartridges. Eight!
ReplyDeletesandyford77 at sbcglobal dot net
Wow you really used a lot of cuts when you get to trying to find them all. Very inspiring. I couldn't find them all but I'll take my guess I think you used 6 carts. PDDU, Winter Woodland, Create a Critter, Celebrations, Picturesque, and I can't find the merry Christmas but know I've seen it. I'll keep looking. I'm probably missing some but I had fun exploring the cartridges.
ReplyDeletethanks
Melin,
ReplyDeleteI am just getting into your files and stuff. I like your dress form enchanted page and the other detailed flowers. I need to learn a WHOLE lot more to do as beautiful job. I am eager to learn from you.
Question to Melin and others: Do I need the largest Cricut to do most of these of can I do it with the smaller first cruicut? There are so many computer assisted programs out there it is comfusing to get started.
Melin, you are way too clever. This double layout is totally amazing, you have just the perfect eye for detail - I LOVE it, and would be proud to display this in my home with photo's of my gorgeous Granddaughters on it - You have used SIX cartridges, with a VERY clever use of two of them - don't want to say too much here - they are Winter Woodland, Paper Doll Dress Up, Create A Critter, Christmas Cheer, Picturesque and Celebrate with Flourish - I wish I had half your talent.....
ReplyDeleteHugs xx
such a cute and adorable page. I am going to guess you used paper doll dress up, joy to the seasons, cindy loo and wall decor and more. I hope this is right because I would love to have a page. TFS!
ReplyDeleteCarol

ReplyDeletei dont have a cricut so have no idea on the cartridges you have used - my number guess would be 6.

This may be overkill, but I'm guessing 7. I think I see Storybook, Minimonograms, Create a Critter, Noel, George, Beyond Birthdays, and of course, Paper Doll Dressup.
ReplyDeleteWOW! As always Melin, you've created another masterpiece. I really love those reindeer! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great layout. I have searched the cartridges and this is what I came up with, PaperDoll Dress Up, Clebrate With Flourish, Christmas Cheer, Winter Wonderland, Create-A-Critter, and I think Picturesque, not sure about that one, and possible George and Basick Shapes for the photo matts. That is a total of 7 cartridges. I sure hope I win it as it is adorable.
