I am so excited, as this is my first post for the blog! I love Pintrest and all the grand ideas it gives for me for. . . well everything!  One of my favorite pins has been the glass blocks. I have made a few in the past with images on them. I founds some that had just a letter and I thought that they looked so elegant. I had a wedding coming up and decided that I should make them something. I looked at several ideas, chose one, then changed my mind, chose another, and then changed my mind again. Finally, I made a decision. Below is the glass block that gave me my inspiration. You can see the orginial creation by visiting  Finding Time to Create . Which if you like her project then I encourage you to visit and let her know! You will, also, find this pictured pinned to my Pinterest boards  Stuff I've Done/Tried .  Feel free to visit me on Pinterest and be a follower! Now, for my creations inspired by the above!

Over at Cooking With Cricut  there is an Easter challenge going on! Easter to me is all about my Lord and Savior, so when we were asked to do a project that was Easter themed, I knew just what I wanted to do! Last year we went to a church that put on a live reenactment of Jesus's time on earth, His crucifiction and His resurrection. My layout below is all about His resurrection. Jesus did not stay dead, He died for our sins and then rose again on the 3rd day so that we may go live with Him in Heaven one day for all eternity. What an amazing sacrifice He made for me and you! Not mention that we don't have to do anything at all to earn this gift as it is free, all we have to do is ask for it! Thank You Jesus! This layout was made using two cartridges. The New Testament Cricut Cartridge was used to cut out the tomb and the Inspired Heart Cricut Lite Catridge was used to cut out the He Is Risen sentiment. I used the negative cuts from the green grass of the tomb to add...

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room 25 Days of Christmas, with 25 Cricut projects a day. Don't forget to stop by Erica's blog to see 24 more projects today.... and every day in December. http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com TODAY'S THEME IS NATIVITY Well, this is it the final project for the 25 Days of Christmas at My Cricut Craft room. I have to say it's been a lot of fun and inspiration! For today's theme I decided to make an ornament, because you never have enough right? I used the Winter Frolic cartridge for Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus as well as the star. The stable comes from the Inspired Heart cartridge, however, it does not look like this when you cut it out. I cut the circle away so that it would just be the manger.  Every year since I can remember we have always awakened on Christmas morning to a birthday party for Jesus. That is what Christmas is all about, after all. My mom would bake a cake and we would sing, blow out the candles, and read the st...

Hello everyone, it's Monday again and that means it's time for more Monday challenges. This week I was blessed to be working with some great ribbon from My Craft Spot . I love this ribbon, it is so much fun and it is so pretty. I made a light box for this weeks challenge at Fantabulous Cricut : Rolling In Ribbon. The glass box came from Hobby Lobby and I used two cartridges to make this box; Inspired Heart Cricut Lite and Winter Frolic for the star. From My Craft Spot I used two colored crinkle ribbons weaved around some holiday gold trimmed ribbon. The crinkle ribbon is from the Christmas Eve Crinkle Ribbon set and I used cranberry and olive green colors. This set also comes with a color called Gingerbread Cookies. And now for my light box.    *********************************** It's also time for another challenge from the Made Especially For You blog. This weeks challenge is create an card or layout that features some form of snow or snow flakes. I decided to mak...

It's time for a Made Especially For You monday challenge!! This week's challenge is make an explosion box. Now this seems overwhelming at first, but I encourage you to try it. It really is a worthwhile and fun project to make. Take a look below at the explosion box I made for this challenge and keep scrolling for a look at an explosion box that I made for a Christmas gift exchange last year. I decided to make this box to showcase our family pictures for each year during the fall season. I began with the first year of my daughter's life and so on. So, I currently have four years of fall seasons represented and plan to add to this box each year. When I am done there will be 20 years worth of family pictures. The cross diecut is from the Inspired Heart cartridge, the praying girl and boy are from the Chore Chart Lite cartridge and the corn diecuts are from the Just Because Cards cartridge. Here is the view from the otherside of the explosion box. And now, for a look at...
