smile! card made using the NEW Cricut Decals cartridge!

Hello, friends!

It's Friday, folks! Ok, a few of you had some questions about the Scrap & Easel that I talked about yesterday.

-The first question was how to find this product. Now, to make things easier for you, I usually highlight and bold words that I have linked to another site. Yesterday was no exception, so if you click on the words 'Scrap & Easel', it will take you to the Scrap & Easel site.

-Someone else was confused at what it does, so I will give you more of a full purpose instead of what I am mainly going to use it for (which is photography). The Scrap & Easel allows you to scrapbook at more of an upright position. Instead of hunching over your table to scrapbook, you can sit in a chair upright and see your page completely. Also, it comes with super strong magnets to hold pieces of your layout to your layout before you decide to glue them down. In fact, the Scrap & Easel has three positions "flat", "inverted", and "work". The flat is fantastically flat too! Which is great because it makes storing much easier.  Also, the workspace has measurements and comes with a magnetic ruler.

Ok, now lets talk about today's card. I made it using the new E2 machine and one of the new cartridges that is included with the machine, Cricut Decals. I asked over at Everyday Cricut yesterday if anyone had any questions about the machine. We are going to answer them and post them next week over at Everyday Cricut, so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask! We will do our very best to answer them for you!

The paper is from Bo Bunny.

I cut this cute little figure out at 2 1/2".

This is from Emma's 'Turn That Frown Upside Down' collection.

The ribbon is from Papertrey Ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by this week! I look forward to seeing you all back here next week! Have a most fabulous and creative weekend!

Let's go fly a kite! Card made using the NEW Boys Will Be Boys cartridge

Hello, everyone!

Here is a card I made using the NEW Boys Will Be Boys cartridge. I fell in love with this kite as soon as I saw it. I heart kites! Anyway, this cartridge is one of my new favorites because I have a 6yr old little boy and there are not tons of Cricut cartridges dedicated to the males of the species.

This cartridge, however, is chocked full of cool boy stuff. My favorite being all the great word art. Complain all you like about Provo Craft, but they ROCK when it comes to word art as of late. I love love love it!



This is a 5" x 5" card. The cuts from the cartridge are all also cut at 5" and fit perfectly!



The paper is of coarse double dot by Bo Bunny and the stamp is from Papertrey Ink.



Have a great weekend and I will see you back here tomorrow with even more projects made with the new cartridges!

Hell, friends!

Have a goodie card made using Lovely Florals Cricut Lite cartridge and copic markers

Hello, friends!

Today I have a card that I made using the Lovely Florals Cricut Lite cartridge and my copic markers. This nice scalloped image is just perfect for stamping an image and coloring it in with your trusty copics. Forget nestibillities...try one of these shapes instead!



The scalloped shape is cut at 4". The stamp used if from Papertrey Ink.



The paper is the Bo Bunny Double Dot. Speaking of which I am going to have to get some more because I am running low!



I hope you all are having a great week! I went to the dentist yesterday because I was having trouble with one of my wisdom teeth....so if that tells you what kind of week I am having. The worst part is I can't get them extracted until August!! Oh well, I guess I have waited 16 or so years to do it. What is a couple more months. Have I mentioned how freaked out I get by even going to the dentist? It has not been a great week ;-)

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Have a great day card made using new Cricut Lite Feeling Groovy cartridge

Hello. friends!!

I am back today with another card I made using one of the new Cricut Lite cartridges. This smiley face can be found on the Feeling Groovy cartridge. Not only does it have some fun shapes, but a really cool font can also be found.



I cut the face at 4". I used the double dot paper again from Bo Bunny.



As a sentiment I chose a cool stamp from Papertrey Ink. It almost could not be a more perfect sentiment!

Laugh--card made using Wall Decor and More Cricut cartridge

Oh, dear! This was not supposed to go live yet! That is why it did not have any text. I am SO sorry! Since it is already up I will do the right thing and give you a write up. I am so embarrassed that I did not even know that it was up until Joy emailed me how much she liked the card. She was nice enough not to even mention the lack of verbiage. She is such a good friend!

This A2 sized card was made using the Bo Bunny double dot paper(which totally rocks!). I used my Signo Uniball white pen for stitching.

I cut 'laugh' at 2". I just love the word art on this cartridge. It makes card making so easy!!

Ok, here is the deal....I have been slaving away making projects for the next Hello Thursday(which is going to blow your mind), so I have not had much time to make the regular everyday stuff. I am hoping to make some stuff for this blog tomorrow after class and my carpets get cleaned(have I mentioned that I am having a crazy summer?...and it has just started! ;-)) Also, I am shipping all of the prizes out tomorrow, so if you are a winner keep an eye on your mailbox!

I hope you are all having a great holiday!!

Hello- ric rack card made with Holiday Cakes cartridge

Hello, friends!

I hope you are having a great week so far. I know I am!

Today's card was made using the Holiday Cake cartridge and a die from Papertrey Ink. I used the die in my cuttlebug to make the colorful 'ric rac' background. Isn't that fun! I love this die!

I cut the lettering at 1 1/2" with my Holiday Cake cartridge. I think this font is super cool!

The paper is from Bo Bunny except for the black polka dotted paper it is from Papertrey Ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a great week!

All you need is love....

Hello, everyone! happy Sunday to you! I hope you are all having a very nice weekend. I am crafting almost all weekend making stuff for the next few weeks on the Holiday blog and this blog.

Oh and don't forget to leave a comment on my batman Valentine post from Friday and sign up to follow this blog. That way you will be eligible to win the Batman cricut cartridge that I am giving away to one lucky winner. Also, make sure you head over to Joy's blog and do the same, so you can be eligible to win a Superman cricut cartridge!

On to the card...

this card was made with my favorite Bo Bunny double dotted paper, a Martha Stewart around the page punch, and some seriously cute stamps from Taylored Expressions and Verve. I colored the images with my copics and added a little bit of liquid glass accents to make the chocolate look a bit more realistic.

I hope you all have a nice Valentine's Day with the one or ones you love. I know I will be with my DH, my 5 year old, and little Lucy our puppy. That is either a combination for a good time or......well, lets just say or not such a good time ;-)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Thank you card using Stamping Solutions cartridge

Hey, guys!

This is another card that I made using a cricut 'wallpapering' technique that I like to use. I cut out all of the circles from Forever Young and the sentiment is from Sentimental.

Sorry for the lack of wordy post! I am just on the run today.....no, not from the law ;-) I have class and a little puppy to tend to. I need a vacation!

Have a great day!!

Forever Young thank you card

Hello, everyone!

This is the card that I demo'ed at CHA. As fun as it was doing the demo with Joy on the stage, I do not think my future is in stage demonstrations. I was so nervous before I did the demo. As a small girl I thought I would love to be a stage performer, but now I realize that life on the stage is not for me! Like I keep telling Joy...I just like making pretty things!

I made this VERY easy card using Forever Young. I think the flowers on this cartridge are REALLY cute. They are so fun and versatile!

If anyone has any really good tips on house training a 10 week old puppy let me know. We are trying to crate train her and it is going ok so far, but we are not there 100%....who am I am kidding we are not even close! I can't get irritated with her though because she is so cute! I will have to post a picture of her soon.

One last thing, if you have not already checked out Scrapguy's blog...you really should! He has fantastic give-aways and even better projects and videos. I met him at the super show and absolutely adore him! He is one of the funniest people I have ever met!

Have a great day!!
