Winter Time fun layout made using Everyday Paper Dolls, Don Juan, and Hannah Montana.

Hello, friends!


I have a layout for you today that I made using Joys of the Season, Everyday Paper Dolls, Don Juan, and Hannah Montana cartridges.


When I was planning this layout, I wanted to do something with those cute little paper dolls all dressed in their winter outerwear. So, I figured I would make a layout for all those pictures you have of your kids playing in the snow, maybe making snowmen and snow angels or throwing snowballs.



I cut the boy and girl dolls as well as all of their accessories, hair, and clothing at 3". If you take a close look at the card stock I used as the base of my layout, it is core'dinations. I sanded it down to the cool shade of aqua to give the look of a snowy day.



The first part of my title was cut using my Hannah Montana cartridge. Here is the cut file for the 'winter' portion: http://www.4shared.com/file/127934594/7bb58c54/winter_courtneylaneblogspotcom_.html
'time' was cut with my Don Juan cartridge at 1". I also cut out the shadow at 1" and adhered that to the back of the original cut.


I cut the little trees from page 59 on Joys of the Season. I varied the cuts between 1" and 2" and scattered them about. All trees were made out of core'dnations paper and sanded.



The pine cone is from the Joys of the Season cartridge. When I cut this I knew I wanted it to face the opposite way. So, I used the flip feature on my expression and cut it at 4". I then sanded the core'dinations card stock to give it a rougher look and then added liquid applique as snow.


'Fun" was cut with Don Juan using the under pressure feature key. I cut the 'f' at 1 1/2" and the 'u' and the 'n' were cut at 1 1/4".




This week I am giving away a Team Spirit cartridge!

Just a few oldies, but goodies...

Hello everyone, I thought that I would post some of my favorite cards I made over at Christmas with the Cricut.




This first card was made using the Pink Journey and Joys of the Season cartridge. Can you believe that the paper I used is from that same pack of Basic Grey we have used all week. It is so versatile!!! I also used core'dinations cardstock as well.

I used my copics and air compressor to airbrush the white cardstock a pale blue. I love how it turned out!



The ovals were cut at 2 1/2" and 2 3/4 using the Pink Journey cartridge The tree was cut using the Joys Of the Season cartridge at 3".



The stamp sentiment is from Close to My Heart and it is called 'Just for the Holidays". The felt corners are from Close to My heart.

Here is the sketch:

The second card was made with the same pack of paper pack and also core'dinations cardstock.



The "snowflake" like cut was cut at 3" and layered with the main cut, shift cut, and shadow cut.


I also used my cuttlebug 'snow dots' folder on the core'dinations paper and sanded it down. I also distressed all the edges of the paper with my Close to My Heart edge distressing tool.



The sentiment used was called "Holiday Trinckets" and is from Close to My Heart.

here is the sketch:



Have a great Christmas Eve Eve ;-)

Just a little something for school....

Hello, guys!

Well, my kindergartner came home with a paper plate and a note attached. It said for us to add a family photo to it and decorate around the picture. It also said that it was going to be an ornament for the classroom tree. I had a few ideas in my head and I pulled out some awesome SEI paper, turned my cricut on, and before I knew it this is what I had.



Now the problem is, do you think his teacher will think that it was a family project? Maybe I will let him stick a button or something on it and call it good.

Please tell me this has happened to another mother.....I am feeling a little guilty!

Have a great day!
