What I do daily....

So this is the final Challenge for the Great Lakes Mega Meet. This challenge was a little more difficult - after all it's a challenge right? This was to create a layout featuring 5 things you do daily. I had to think about it for a few and then realized I didn't have any photos relating to what I do daily. So hence I took some. So here's the funny part - hubby isn't home so I had to set up the camera and do the "10 second" timer and quickly get in the photo. I had to laugh on the photos and how I "created" them. 

I actually stitched on my paper w/ a real sewing machine. I bet my home economics teacher would be proud.
Paper is all from Echo Park - I am loving this new paper line. It's pinks, greens, fun patterns, flowers etc.

Country life - Letters cut 1"
I cut all the flags by hand.
Candis - in  valentine pack - pinks, silvers

The journal box says: 1) Chasing a very active toddler 2) Snuggling with my girl 3)cleaning up her mess (yes she does help but I have to clean up too). 4) surf the computer 5) and crafting.
Yes I normally every day get some kind of crafting in. I either will make a card, scrapbook, or even my daughter I an do a little craft. She loves to color, cut and gooooo (glue).

Hope you enjoy and
Happy Scrappin'

Weekly Challenge #46: Flower Fusion Challenge!

This Weekly Cricut Challenge was to use some of your stash and make a project with the purchased flowers.

The requirements were to use our stash and 2 cricut cuts.

The paper was pretty much all left over stash - and Kraft cardstock for the base, the purple is from Archievers, and so is the Green.

I love the Sohpie cartridge and used a cute little flower/frame cut with the top layer and the base. Then I added some cute little flowers w/ some Prima paper flowers and used some "candi" for the centers. I also used Country Life for the word HI.

Just a sweet and simple little card.

Hope you enjoy

Weekly Challenge #45: Run for the Border Challenge!

So when I saw this challenge I knew instantly what I wanted to make. This challenge was to use a border and make a project.

The rules and guidelines: Circle Blog Challenges are open to Cricut Circle Members only. Your project must be newly created for this challenge and include atleast 2 Cricut Image Cuts. You must submit a project to be entered into the Challenge Prize Drawing. One entry per person, please.

I kept it very simple but love the results.

I made these cute little table name plates. I used the Turkey border from Doodle Charms - cut at 1.5". I love the cute little turkeys. Just sitting on the plate waiting to be ate. MMMM Don't know about all the rest of you but we actually FRY a turkey and it's ohhhhh so good.

Paper - kraft for the base, and then the seaonal package from Cloud 9 Designs (bought at Joann's for really cheap). It has a mix of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and even Christmas. It's not card stock just plain paper but I think it did very well for this type of project.

The little name box is from Art Philosohphy I just changed the size on my Gypsy -- due to I have one person in the family who has 9 letters so I had to make sure her name fit.

The letters are cut at 1" from Country Life - my all time goto cartridge for font.

I then used my chalks to give a little extra to the Turkey - he wasn't quit brown enough for me.

Hope you enjoy and Have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

Weekly Challenge #36: Fabric Challenge!

Well this weeks challenge on the Cricut Circle was to use fabric. The rules are to include at least 2 cricut cut images.

Ok in previous post I had some SEI monster iron on sheets that I made several cute little things. Well I bought some of the SEI iron on fabric. Let me just say I am in love love love with the pink polkadot but the black hounds tooth was way too busy. IT would be nice on maybe a different color fabric too - or for a small area or 1 or 2 letters not a whole saying.

Can I say that the SEI iron fabric cuts so nicely using my cricut.

I designed it in my gypsy welded the word Bling and then Flipped it.

The letters are cut at 1.8" using Country Life Cartridge (one of my favorite font cartriges).

The heart is cut at 2" from George and basic shapes.

The bug head is cut at 3" from Cricut Everyday cartridge

The bling is Imaginisce crystals.

I plan on taking this to Ohio Kings Island Swarm which is next week.

The T-shirt was just a heavier weight T-shirt that works nicely to embelish.

Well I didn't stop with just that T-shirt I had to bling out my little cover for my expression. So I made a cute litle bug head and just added 2 Crystals.

Isn't that cute? My imagine and expression covers are black zebra print with hot pink sides.

Throwback Thursday's Challenge

This time theme is FOOD. She asked for us to use "From my kitchen", but again I didn't have it so I used a few other ones. I used for the silhouette "A Child's year" and The utensils from "Country Life". The letters are all different fonts. I just was playing around mainly. I was really stressed today and just sat down and made something simple.

I know I know - not really food on my page, but my favorite food memory.

I just love the silhouette of the little child and the adult "baking".

This recipe is very special to me. I remember when I was a younger girl my Grandma Helen, making Chocolate Chip Cookies from SCRATCH. She was the best CC Cookie maker. I one day wrote down the recipe (she didn't give it out to just anyone). I wrote it on some paper I found nothing special I was probably 8 or 9 years old. Well a few months ago my mom found that paper and gave it to me. The paper is all splattered and yes that was my own hand writting from a while ago. I guess that is why I really like this page.

While my Grandma is no longer with us, I will have this memory FOREVER, afterall isn't that why we scrapbook - to keep those wonderful memories.

I was really just trying to preserve the recipe. I wanted something simple but nice.

I had a thought in my head but when I tried to make it on paper, really didn't look good at all.

So here is the final project.

I used:
SEI Brown, Red, Pink Card stock
The faces on the "O"'s are from Peachy Keen Stamps

Stickles

White gel pen

Not allot of stuff on it, I think It needs something but can't figure out what I want/need for it.

Any suggestions?

I used MY new favorite TOOL!!! MY FLIP PAL scanner. Its great. Takes a little practice to scan a 12x12 but I figured it out.

WEll here's to Happy Scrappin'
