Erica's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop (http://www.mycricutcraftroom.com is our proud sponsor)!

Welcome! If you landed here then you've been following Erica's Craft Room Monthly Blog Hop you should have come over from
 Laura http://laurascraftsandmore.blogspot.com/ !
So glad you hopped on over to me! I'm a little sad to say that I only have one project posted. We were hit by hurricane Irene and my craft room flooded! Still assessing the damages! You can see by the pictures I have quite a mess to organize! But we are all okay, and in the grand scheme of things, we were very lucky!





So here's my project!  My daughter Jordan had a school project, called A Hero's Journey.  They watched the Wizard of Oz and had to write 12 different prompts about the story ranging from ,"The Ordinary World" " Call to Adventure", "Meeting the Mentor", and "The Resurrection", just to name a few.  They had to write examples from the movie and discuss in detail.  Keep in mind Jordan did this in June, in the 7th grade.  They also had to make a poster detailing the journey.  Here's what Jordan creating with some help from me!  (PS:  She got an A+ and the teacher used it as an example for the entire 7th grade!  So proud of my girl!  She even had it laminated!  Gotta love her!  Definitely the kid of a crafter!)



For the barn and silo we used Country Life and for the fence we used My Community.


This is Munchkin Land!  How cute!  We used the Paisley cartridge here.  Patterned paper can really mix things up!  Love it!


The Wicked Witch of the West!  No better cartridge for this than Happy Hauntings!
Glitter pens = SPARKLE!
One can never have too much SPARKLE!


The woods were cut using Zooballoo!  One of my first cartridges and still one of my favorites!



Swirly Yellow Brick Road, we used Accent Essentials.


The Corn Field we went back to Country Life.  Of course GLITTER!


And last but not least, my favorite font of all time!  Cuttin' Up!

I hope you enjoyed your visit!  I use my Cricut for so much more than cards and scrapbooking.  My kids love coming home and telling me they have a project due because they know that I'll help them, but I really think they enjoy creating fun stuff as much as I do!  Thanks again for stopping by!

You should head on over to:


Here's the complete line-up if you get lost!
