Friends Turtle Layout

Good morning Cricutlicious Friends,

Here is a project I created for the Simply Scrapping Crafts Cricut Challenge. Our challenge was to use some of the feature keys on our Cricut Machines.

Here is a view of the entire page. The DCWV background paper was perfect. It is from the DCWV Grade school stack. The little flies, frogs and stitching are all already on the paer and the little frogs are glittered.

Here is a close up of the little Turtle. I used the Create A Critter Cartridge to piece this turtle together. It is my own version of a turtle.

Here is a side shot of the turtle. You can see the glitter on the frog and on the shell of the turtle.

Here is a close up of the friends title cut. I used Crystal Stickles to “glitz” it up.

Every Day in May Blog-Aversary ~ Day 22

Welcome to Day 22 of Cooking With Cricut's "Every Day in May" Blog-Aversary Cele"bear"ation!  First, a thank you to everyone who joined our party yesterday for the Cele"bear"ation Blog Hop ~ we're so glad you came to the party.  A second thank you to the wonderful Melin and the Design Team ~ ladies, you totally rocked the bear/celebration challenge.  Awesome projects!

For my project today I created a birthday card for one of my seven year-old daughter's friends.  I asked the all important question ... "So, which Disney Princess does she like best?"  The answer this time was "Jasmine." 

Now, I know what you're thinking -- all those little-bitty pieces and parts!  And you're right!! 

But, in spite of the struggle to get them to cut properly and then place them correctly, I think this card turned out pretty cute!  And so did twelve little girls at the party on Saturday.  It always fills my heart with joy to hear my daughter proudly say, "My Mom made that for you!"

Jasmine and the genie's lamp are from the Disney Dreams Come True cartridge.  "It's Your Day" is from George & Basic Shapes.

If you'd like paper information and cut details, please hop on over to my blog ~ Musings of a Crafty Mom.

CWC Cele”Bear”Ation Blog Hop

Good morning Crafty Friends,



Welcome to our Cele”bear”ation Blog Hop!  We’ve been partying all month long in honor of CWC’s first blog-aversary.  This is the place to start our fun hop!


Our theme for today’s party is bears and/or celebrations. As many of you may know, I started this blog as a way to force myself to use my Cricut and PC products. Most of the time it sat there and collected dust. I am truly amazed at how it has grown in one year.



There are so many talented crafters and I have met some of the most wonderful people by having a blog. It has truly been a blessing for me!



So now onto a few projects that I have made with my Cricut, Cartridges and sometimes Gypsy. I selected projects that I have made through out the year that have our “Bear” theme to them :-)


A BOY’S BEST FRIEND


This layout was created for The Bug Magazine’s March/April 2011 edition. It features a bear and puppy. I used the DOODLECHARMS Cartridge and My GYPSY to create the bear and puppy. The Gypsy File was a give away for the magazine.


BEST FRIENDS



This layout was created for a challenge a while back. I created this layout using:
George and Basic Shapes
