Scrapbook Your Food Friday!

Happy Friday! Well for this week’s Friday post, Erica from My Cricut Craft Room has challenged her Design Team to scrapbook food! I am sharing my daughter’s science fair project! I ordered the photos but they haven't arrived yet! So let me show you what she did and as soon as the prints come in I'll post the actual pages!

 

 

 

 

Her experiment was on Bread Mold, YUCK! She collected her data and then she made this board. She used Cuttin' Up1! Cursive 101, and from My Kitchen Cricut Cartridges. On the bread slices, she used a green verdigris embossing powder! I must say I'm VERY proud! She got at A!

February 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

   
Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop

You should have arrived here from
Michelle
http://www.paperaffair.blogspot.com/

This month I'm showing you 3 different cartridges, Cuttin' Up!, Christmas Solutions and Indie Art.  I used all three of these in a scrapbook I made for a friend. I think sometimes we get caught up in the "name" of a cartridge, for example the Christmas Solutions cartridge.  You can always go outside the box when creating a page, it doesn't HAVE to be used for Christmas!  I love this scroll sign and its old fashion feel!

The next pictures are also from the Christmas Solutions cartridges.  I also used the i-Rock tool.  OMG I LOVE THIS LITTLE TOOL!  So much fun!

I used this next tree from the Christmas cartridge and added pictures for the decorations.  Fun huh?!

If you are a follower of my blog, you know how much I LOVE CUTTIN' UP!  I would use this font cartridge every time if I could!  LOL!  Okay my things would be very similar but I don't care!  There are phrases on this cartridge as well. 

Last but not least is Indie Art.  I honestly got this cartridge because I fell in love with the

band-aid! It's just too stinkin' cute!  I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the center of the band-aid to give it some dimension.

Below is the line-up just in case you get lost!  Head on over to

Embossing Powders!

Hello everyone!  My blog post for My Cricut Craft Room has to do with using embossing powders on cards!  I used Doodlecharms and Paisley along with clear embossing powder for this cute little card!  I also used the i-Rock tool for the metal rivets of the basket!  I just love that little tool!

You'll see the clear embossing powder was used as an accent on the little red apples and I covered the green apple completely.  If you've never heat embossed before, remember a few things:

*The heat gun gets WICKED HOT!

*Use the little pull down foot when not in use!

*DO NOT LET KIDS OPERATE THE HEAT

GUN WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION!

*To prevent stray powder from getting heated,

use the little magic embossing buddy pad BEFORE

your stamp the Versa Mark

*(Embossing Buddy is a small "bag" filled with

cornstarch that you swipe across the paper)

I like to heat my images in a small, metal brownie pan.

 I also use a wooden skewer to "hold" my paper still. 

Heat embossing can be so much fun and adds just a different element to your cards, scrapbook pages and other crafty stuff!

WYEGW?!

Hi everyone!  It's time for another Would You Ever Guess Wednesday!  This week I used the super, uber cute Cindy Loo cartridge!  This is from the scrapbook I made for some friends, like I told ya, just a few pages at a time!

The tree is from page 65, using the shift option .  It's about 10" in height and I just let my Gypsy calculate the width!  I made this a family tree of sorts.  As you can see the second page is actually the negative from the cut out tree.  I'm not wasting any Bazzill paper!  That stuff ain't cheap!

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!

Remember, you need to visit every blog and leave a comment or "love" as we like to call it, on each persons blog to be eligiable for Erica's blog candy!  She randomly chooses comments from our blogs! 

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