Scrap Queen

The sketch that we have up on Let's Scrap  is so great! I had a lot of fun putting this one together with the help of Cricut Design Space. I choose to use some photos from our trip to Silverwood with my parents. It was such a fun day and I think it came through as I used bright colors and fun embellishments. The Sketch: My Take: To Create this Layout I used: Amy Tangerine: Sketchbook paper stack and stickers Project Life: Highfive - photo overlay Bella Blvd: Addison - paper clips Colorbox: distressing ink Cricut Cartridges: Small Talk Frames & Tags: star frame (right side) Birthday Bash: banner/photo bases (left side) Stretch Your Imagination: Swirly frames (both sides) Bits and Pieces: banner/flags Cricut Basic Shapes: Diamond shapes Wild Card 2: "Silverwood" title For a Closer Look: Thank you so much for stopping by, Blessings,

Let's Scrap  has another fabulous sketch up on the blog that you simply must check out! I loved this one. At first I was a bit intimidated by it and thought how can I make this less pictures. But, then after looking through all our Disney World pictures from our recent trip I realized I had the perfect pictures for this sketch and tackled the sketch just as it is!  Check out the sketch:  And now my take on it: To create this layout I used the following supplies: Paper Echo Park: Jungle Safari pattern paper DCWV: The White Ginger paper stack DCWV: The Nantucket paper stack Cricut Cartridges Dino Play: Dinosaur title Dinosaur Tracks: T-Rex and Raptor diecuts 3 Birds on Parade: "ride" title Prehistoric Party: Pteranodon wrap, Brachiosaurus wrap, and dinosaur mask Stretch Your Imagination: Scalloped Frame The First Few Years: Pointy Border Frame Other Simple Stories: Say Cheese II stickers Recollections: washi tape And now ...

My kids did this awesome triathlon with a few of their friends. It was one of those events where I had a bunch of photos that I wanted to have in the scrapbook, so this week's sketch over at Let's Scrap was perfect!

I want to share about another great site for scrapbookers. This forum is called My Scraps and More . I love this forum because they always have something going on there. If you like online crops and games than this is a great site to check out. Right now they have a Sketch-a-thon going on that runs until Sunday, April 7th. At this point I have completed the first three layout sketches. And, of course I will share them with you here! Sketch #1 The Twist: 2 different alpha's on your page My take: For my two different alpha's I used the Country Life Cricut Cartridge to cut out the title "France" and I used my alpha stamps to stamp the "For Work" underneath. I added some gears to tie it in with the corresponding layout that you'll see next. Sketch #2 The Twist: 2 sets of 2 on your LO My Take: For my two sets of two I used two sets of gears, one set on the left side of the picture and the other two ...

Welcome to another Monday challenge at Fantabulous Cricut . This week we are honoring the leaves that fallen to provide the way for winter to come and then spring and then. . . ok  you get the idea and I guess I'm feeling a little dramatic this morning. LOL. This is my favorite time of year, mostly because I love the colors of fall. I love the feeling in the air and the cooler weather and I love the fall paper lines!!! Ok I'll get my project :) I decided to create a layout for my family scrapbook. One of the things we love to do in the fall is to visit the farms. So, I made this layout using the following Cricut Cartridges: Tree - Stretch Your Imagination Leaves - Straight From the Nest Phrase - Country Life Well, now it's your turn. Create away and then upload your creation to  Fantabulous Cricut .

This week at Cut It Up  we are getting into the swing of Thanksgiving, as it is soon approaching. This is the time of year that we make an effort to voice our thankfulness and that is exactly what we want to do for this challenge. We are asked to make a Thank You card that includes a digital or stamped image and a die-cut. Don't forget that die-cut :) Here's mine. For this card I used the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cartridge to cut out the bird house. I embossed it to give it a little texture and then cut out a tag using the Tags, Bags, and Boxes Cricut Cartridge. On the tag I used a definition stamp that had the definition of thanks and then I heat embossed it using some copper colored embossing powder and versa mark ink. I hope you enjoyed my card and now it is your turn to go to  Cut It Up  and link up your creation!

Now I have prefrace this post with the fact that I am not a big fan of Halloween, therefore, this challenge was indeed a challenge. This wee at Cut It Up Halloween is right around the corner. We are asked to create a Halloween/spooky themed project. Include a die-cut. Challenge ends Oct. 31 at noon EST. I decided to make a more cutsie spooky card. Check it out: I used two cartridges for this card. The bird ghost and the spooky word come from the 3 Birds on Parade Cricut Catridge and the bird house comes from the Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Catridge. I totally forgot to mention here that I used twine from   Trendy Twine !  Thank you  Trendy Twine ! Now, it's your turn! Head on over to Cut It Up and link up your Spooky project!

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 GINGERBREAD For today's theme I choose to do a layout. Every year it is tradition for the youngest in the family to decorate gingerbread men, or houses, with homemade icing and as much candy as you can fit on the poor gingerbread man. Featured in the above layouts are my two adorable children and my two handsome nephews working hard on their gingerbread men. To embellish this layout I decided to use a different gingerbread man to represent each of the different children. The gingerbread men come from the following cartridges: From My Kitchen, My Community, Winter Frolic, and Stretch Your Imagination. The gingerbread house comes from the My Community cartridge.  I hope that you are inspired to create this Christmas Season! Bles...

So, I stayed up late, brewed too much coffee and got 8 layouts done last night. Love it!!! I did these based on sketches for the Scrap It to Win It contest for My Scraps and More forum. So, check them out!!
