Hello Thursday ROUND 2 June 2011

Hello, friends!

Today is the second Hello Thursday of the month! I have to tell you I REALLY like this one because all of the cartridges are full cartridges this time. I just love a good full cartridge. Not to mention all of the features that come with a full cartridge.

Not only are they all full cartridges, but they are all REALLY good full cartridges. I am particularly fond of Summer Celebrations and Autumn Celebrations. You will be seeing lots made with those cartridges on this blog for sure.

Summer Celebrations: As per usual I put my favorite at the top. I could make project after project using this one!




I used Bo Bunny and Fancy Pants paper.
This was cut out at 2 3/4".
This was cut out at 2 3/4".
The title was cut out at 2 1/2".
The journaling tag was cut using the Destinations cartridge at 2".







Creative Memories Traveler: Those people at Creative Memories have done it once again! I have not met a Creative Memories cartridge yet that I did not love!




The paper is from Echo Park.
I cut the journaling tag out at 1 3/4" and the flowers out at 1 1/4".
The title is cut out at 3".
This sun is cut out at  4".
The palm trees are cut out at 7".


Ornamental Iron II - The first one was a total winner in my book and this one does not disappoint. Check out the cool font!







The paper I used on this layout is from Fancy Pants. I cut the two  half  circles at 10  1/2".
I cut out 'sweet' at 1 1/2" using the Paisley cartridge.
The frame is 6".
This is the very unique font that is included on this cartridge and it is cut out at 1 1/2".
Autumn Celebrations: This cartridge is really fantastic! I cannot believe how many great holiday images they included on here. 


I should give you  a little explanation as to what my layout is all about. Well, as most of you know my husband is from England and they celebrate every November 5th Guy Fawkes Day. I am pretty excited that this has been included on this cartridge because I know those English Cricut users will now be able to scrapbook this unusual holiday in style!





I used SU! paper.
The title is cut out at 4" using the NEW Phrases cartridge. 
I cut out this Guy Fawkes effigy at 6".
'Bonfire NIght' was cut out at 3".



Teresa Collins Sophisticated: If you have liked any of the other Teresa Collins cartridges you are gonna love this one. It has some really great word art and a very beautiful font. 



I used DCWV paper. 
I cut LOVE out at 1 3/4".
This wonderful frame is cut out at 4 1/2".

Phrases: Been looking fora cartridge with nothing but scrapbook titles and sentiments for your cards? Then this cartridge is a must have for you. It really covers everything!





I used Basic Grey paper.
This FABULOUS bit of word art is cut out at 3 1/2". Also the wonderful banners are cut  out at 3/4".
These fireworks are  from the Summer Celebrations cartridge and are cut out at 2" and the sparkler is cut out at 2 1/2".

Now down to the giveaway. I am giving away a Simply Charmed cartridge. To be eligible to win all you have to do is leave a comment on this post and be a follower of this blog either through blogger or through email subscription.

Now that you have seen what I have done with the NEW cartridges make sure you head over to Obsessed with Scrapbooking to check out what she has done! She knocked that Teresa Collins cartridge out of the park! Click here ==> Obsessed with Scrapbooking


See you all back here later on with even more projects made with the NEW cartridges!


Have a terrific Thursday!

Your projects again are awesome! My fav has to be the Phrases but it was hard to choose just one :)

Heather R... mousemomma said...

Love your projects! They really sell the carts, because the pics provo craft released don't do them justice. I have to say that on first glance I wouldn't give any of them a 2nd thought. Only you ladies would do them proud. Please pass on to Provo Craft what a failure their marketing department is...

Monica said...

You make all the new cartridges soooo tempting. :)

Laura said...

I LOVE your creativity and paper layering! I have learned so much from seeing your projects. Glad to see a phrases cart!
