Fantabulous Save The Earth Cricut Crawl

Welcome to the Fantabulous Cricut blog Save The Earth Cricut Crawl!

You should have just come over from Holly at http://ribbonsandglue.blogspot.com/



This week we are crawling around to all the design team blogsites to see how we can save the earth by recycling and item and using it on our projects. Well, I did just that with my layout below. The 8x8 peice of pattern paper comes from the DCWV All Dressed Up paper stack.


The photo matt/frame was part of the plastic covering that came with one of my cricut cartridges. To hear more about this idea, check in tomorrow at Fantabulous Cricut for the Quick Tip Tuesday post.


This metal embellishment used to be a pair of earings. I haven't worn them in so long I figured instead of selling them or throwing them away I would use them for my project. Who knew??


For the my heart, that was cut from the Tie The Knot Cricut Cartridge, was cut on scrap paper. Ok well, that's not exactly recycling, but it is using all the scraps and that is saving the earth in my book!

I hope you enjoyed my project! Now it's your turn, upload your recyling to Fantabulous Cricut!

War Binder

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner. I spent a lot of time looking around on FB and Pinterest to get ideas and eventually just decided that I just needed to start it.  I have struggled with making time for Bible Study and prayer ...

Let's Scrap - Friends Forever

Since moving away from my home town I don't get to see my old high school/college friends very often. There was a core group of us that hung out beginning in high school and we are all friends still. The one friend that was responsible for all of us meeting and ultimately becoming friends was getting married. It was so fun to all be back together for an evening. What was also fun was seeing all of our children together. Definitely one of those sentimental moments that needs to be scrapbooked and kept for all time! Let's Scrap has a fantastic sketch up on the blog that was perfect for these pictures. This sketch included a fun element: booklet. At first I had some trouble figuring out how to do this but then it became clear. I hope you enjoy the layout and the booklet as pictured for you below. I decided to use the left side of the layout. And I hope you are inspired to try this fun element on your next layout! The Sketch: My Take (on the left side of the...
