Discover The Joy Cricut Layout

Good morning everyone,

I am sharing a layout I did for a couple of challenges this week. It was my first real project including the use of the Gypsy! I am still VERY NEW to it, but so far, I am loving it :-).

I made the birds from Gyspy Wanderings and from Animal Kingdom.

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a closeup of one of the birds and the Digi Sentiment I created. The download link for the digi sentiment will be below.

Here is a closeup of the other little birdie. I flipped the wings for this one. That was because I wanted to show that you can cut the wings out and flip in either direction and it will still look so cute!

Here is a closeup of the AI Factory Image I used. AI is this week's sponsor over at PIO. Please be sure to pay them a visit HERE. They have some WONDERFUL digi files and some FREEBIES to get you started.

So now for the challenges this layout followed:

PIO-Stickers The lettering "The Joy and little flourish are MM glitter stickers

SOUS-Stuck on Sketches. Layout Sketch.

Paper Take Weekly - Ice Cream Flavors. This page makes me think of my beloved Sherbet!

Crafty Creations #72 - Stitching

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Nice and Girly

Rosie Dees - Something Blue. My little blue birds :-)

Wee Memories - Get Sticky with Stickers - MM Red glitter letter stickers

Just Scraps - Butterflies, Birds and Flowers - I hope having two out of three qualifies :-)

UPDATE: Digi sentiment is no longer available. Please visit PCW for all our reasonably priced cutting files and digital printable stamps.

Happy Crafting!

Guessing Game Giveaway Winner

Good evening all,

So sorry for the delay in posting this. I didn't stop to consider that it was Father's Day on the 20th. Whew, what a weekend. I hope everyone was able to enjoy time with family and or remembering that special man in your life.


On to the winner, but first.....The BIG question.....Which cartridge did the Giraffe come from?


Drum roll pllleeeeaaassseeeee........And the cartridge is........Not from my craft room, not from my bedroom...(even though I have thoughts of layouts when I am sleeping....lol), but......


FROM MY KITCHEN :-) That's right Cricettes, it was all from the wonderful cartridge, FROM MY KITCHEN! Anyone who knows me, knows about the only good thing to come out of my kitchen is a paper Giraffe...HA HA HA :-) I am SO NOT a cook.


So of the many comments, 13 of you lovely crickettes guessed correctly, so I had to run over to random.org to pick a winner. So of the 13 correct guesses.....lucky number 4 hit the Giraffe jackpot!!!
