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!

Card Creating Sundays!

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone, shopping and decorating have begun for most! I'm being very "frugal" this year. This economy is just brutal so I am shopping locally, and trying to make lots of my gifts!

This week for Card Creating Sunday, I am showing you the cutest Christmas card! I saw the directions online at Splitcoaststampers.com (Pyramid Card by Kirsteen Gill). I just thought it was adorable and easy to make. I tweaked a few things to make it my own so to speak. I used Twinkle Toes for the tree skirt and the squares were cut at 3.75" from Plantin Schoolbook. I added lots of holes with my Crop-O-Dile and then added bling! The gathered ribbon around the based of the tree skirt is actually paper I accordion folded and glued down. I do recommend using Terrifically Tacky Tape to hold down the completed tree skirt. Have fun and enjoy!

Would You Believe it Wednesday?!

It's Wednesday and you know what that means, it's Would You Believe It Wednesday?! at Erica's Craft Room! We only use the features keys to create a project.

Today I'm sharing two nursery room pictures. I used Animal Kingdom, the "head" button as well as the "sound" button. You just gotta love a pink pig and a purple lamb! I also used my Cuttlebug to give the lambs tuft of fluff some pizazz as well as the pigs snout a little something extra! Googly eyes and ink accents along the edges complete the look!

Giving Back Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Giving Back Blog Hop! We wanted to give back to the person who has given so much to us! So, this is in honor of Erica from My Cricut Craftroom.

You should have come from http://craftyandgreen.blogspot.com tina's blog .
If you are starting at my blog, you will want to start with Kat’s Blog, http://katscrapfever.blogspot.com, so you don’t miss any of the great layouts.

When you get done hopping, you will want to go to Erica’s Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/EricasCraftRoom) and leave a comment on her page.
We will be randomly selecting someone from those comments to win blog candy.

Some of you have asked, what do you do on a design team?
Well I suppose it's different depending on the person in charge, but for Erica's team, we are given differnt themes and weekend blog hop challenges and we areasked to create something to share with all of you!

We are incredibly lucky to have someone who shares our love for the Cricut! Erica is kind, caring, flexible, generous and most of all she has allowed me to become part of a community of people who just care for each other so much! So much has been going on in my own life personally, that this design team is a refreshing outlet for me. I can find comfort in knowing that others care and don't judge. For that I am truly grateful!

Here's my page for Erica! The tag pulls out and I wrote her a note of thanks on the backside of it. I used Cursive 101 and Plantin Schoolbook for the tag, the word Thanks is from Gypsy Wanderings. I also used the Cuttlebug to emboss the tag itself.

The next stop on the hop is http://mississippihippycrafts.blogspot.com

Card Creating Tuesday!

Well, it's card day! I have been using my Cricut so much that I have ignored my other love, stamping. So this week I wanted to combine the two. I have a few cards to share and some are stamped with Cricut embellishments added.

The first on is from Pagoda. Just a simple flower to set off my Christmas Rose card. The stamp set is from Stmapin' Up!, I used watercolors to color the image and a yellow skittle for the flowers center.

Next up is From My Kitchen. Just a little card to send to a friend! The background paper is from DCVW.

Last but not least, is a pop card that I used Plantin School Book on. I think sometimes I try to over embellish, and often, simplicity is best. I used the rectangle and the circle cuts from Plantin to give me the mats and base for my card. Each chef is water colored and glitter pens were used as well. The stamps and the papers are from Stampin' Up!

Cricut Craft Room November 100 Cartridge Blog Hop!

If you have found your way here, you are following Erica's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop from mycricutcraftroom.com. Today is day two of the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop! You should have come here from http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/

I LOVE FROM MY KITCHEN!!!!!!!!

What a fun, almost retro feeling cartridge! I made these 12 x 12 pictures for my kitchen, mainly because I love the words on this cartridge. They are so much fun!

I used a white pen to make the stitching on each word.

Meal Time was the only one that I used the shadow feature for, I think the other ones stood out enough on their own.

I did use Crayola glitter paper on each one to tie them together and make them unified in some way. Bright colors add zing to any room, and since my kitchen is boring ol' beige, this should do the trick for sure! Enjoy!
