Erica's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

It's the first weekend of the month and that can only mean one thing....
it's time for the 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop!

If you've landed here then you've arrived from the very talented Tracy at
http://scrappininthewoods.blogspot.com/

If you came from somewhere, please head on back to the start to see all the wonderful creations from my friends!

This month I'm using New Arrival, A Child's Year & Cuttin' Up!

My little sister is pregnant and she is having a boy.

For Christmas I made her and her husband a 6 x 6 scrapbook for their new little boy.

Next, I made a 12 x 12 scrapbook for a friend. Her husband came to me (he's also a friend!) and asked me to re-do her baby book. It was a mess! The pages were literally disintegrating around the pictures. I took it all apart, and the pictures were still in pretty good shape. Here are a few pages from the scrapbook, first I used Cuttin' Up! and A Child's Year.

Next, I used Gypsy Wanderings for a few pages.

The scrapbook was 38 pages by the time I got done!

Stay tuned for more pages in future postings!

Would You Believe it Wednesday?!

Well, I'm at it again!  I am a proud Design Team member for Erica at www.mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com!  Each day of the week Erica asks us to sign up and create something to share with all of you.  On Wednesdays, we can only use the "feature" keys on the cartridges, not the main design.  Not as easy as you might think!  Lots of time, the feature keys are cards, or words, or "pieces" for the main image.  But I am happy to share with you my creations from the feature keys!

First, I want to share my "word collage" from Preserves. There is a new cartridge which is called "Word Collage". which is fabulous, but no feature keys! So I used Preserves cartridge Word Key and this is what I came up with! I used plain black cardstock, and DCWV Kitchen background and DCWV Summer Color texture paper for the word "fruit".  I used my Gypsy to weld the words together and to rotate a few!

Next up, is the Pagoda cartridge.  This is a really fun cartridge with lots of interesting things on it.  Of course the pandas are cute and so are the bonsai trees, but I really like the traditional Kanji writing key.  Since we are in the fall season, what better way to share it!  I used black cardstock and a simple background paper on a black mat, followed by a rust background.  The word "Autumn" is from Gypsy Wanderings. 

Hope you've enjoyed what I created!  Come back anytime, but before you go, if you head on over to Erica's store, you'll find great deals on Cricut cartridges and stamps, and paper and so much more!  Some cartridges are as low as $10!!!!!!  Here's the link:

Happy shopping and as always, Happy Crafting!
