Erica's December 100 Cartridge Blog Hop!


Happy Holidays!

You know the first weekend of every month, Erica's Craft Room has a 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog hop!

You should have arrived here from the very talented and crafty Laura at:
This month I choose to use Quarter Note and Word Collage!
Quarter Note is an interesting cartridge!  It has lots of musical "stuff" on it, but it also has great sayings and a beautiful font.  I used my Gypsy to weld the words "before" and "after".  "Amazing" and "Beautiful" were phrases that were already on the cartridge.  This layout is from July when my oldest daughter Jordan got her braces off!  She had them on for 2.5 years, she had to wear headgear, rubber bands and had all kinds of appointments!  But when they came off....OMG!  She was even more beautiful than I could have imagined!  When we asked her what she wanted to eat more than anything....POPCORN!  Gotta love her!  We are so proud of her!



Next up is the Word Collage Cartridge.  If you are familiar with this cartridge, you know that it basically is a series of words, themed together to make a pretty collage.  I've used this cartridge to cut out Halloween sayings and other fun themes.  But as you can guess, there are alot of little pieces that need to be glued down and sometimes, they get lost.  So this time around, I used my Cricut markers in my Expression to make this sign!  The mat board is actually a 11 x 14 flat canvas, that I stamped with coffee cups from the Fiskars coffee stamp set.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Rusty Hinge for some color, as well as the i-Rock for some bling in the corners.  I matted the green paper with black card stock and added a bow!  I love how it turned out!

Here's the whole line up just in case you got lost!
