the winner of the pink cricut is....

Julie Orear! I will be emailing your shortly, Julie!

Thank you all very much for your business in December! You are VERY appreciated!

Now on to today's project....

Today I have a layout that I made using the Sophie and the Teresa Collins Sophisticated cartridges. If it looks familiar to you perhaps you noticed it on the Hello Thursday look book. It was a project I made for Provo Craft and was thrilled to see it featured!

This layout has lots of cuts and was somewhat time consuming.However, with all of the cut sizes I am about to give you this should be quite easy to duplicate.

The paper is from Crate paper and the cardstock is from Close To My Heart. 'Sister' is cut out using the TC Sophisitcated cartridge at 2 1/2".

Everything else is cut out using Sophie. I cut the leaves out at 1 1/2". The leaf cluster is cut out at 5". The daisies were cut at 3" and 2". The pink flower is cut out at 1 1/2" and a 3/4".

The roses are cut out at 2", 2 1/2", and 1 3/4". The blue flowers are cut out at 1 1/2".

This journaling tag is cut out at 3 1/2" and 3". The large shape (found in the doily portion of the cartridge) that everything sits on was cut out at 10 1/4".

Thank you so much for popping by today!

Dream home decor project using the Flower Shoppe and Sopisticated cartridges.

Hello, friends!

Today I have a home decor project that you can hang on your wall or just simply let it prop up on it little leg. I bought it in the clearance section at Hobby Lobby and just altered it using modge podge, the Teresa Collins Sophisticated cartridge, and the Flower Shoppe cartridge. It was super simple and it did not take that long. LOVE IT!

I used Girl's Paperie paper and Close To My Heart cardstock.

I cut the rose out at 3" and the 2 daisies out at 2 1/2" using the Flower Shoppe cartridge. 'Dream' is cut out using Sophisticated at 2 1/2".

When making the flowers I used a hot glue gun for assembly. I highly recommend investing in one if you buy this cartridge!

Now I know that you guys want me to do a video on how to make these flowers. I have not fully decided on if I will do that or not. Most likely I will do a photo step by step though. Joy will most likely do a video and she is way better at doing those sorts of things! She makes beautiful flowers as well!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Peace, Love, and Crafts!
