Walking into Animal Kingdom was such a fun experience. Right off the bat we were greeted by some great cast members who gave the kids 1st Visit badges and explained where things were. Then we meet a Vine Lady. We almost didn't see here, she was so good at what she was. She moved enough to get our attention and that was all. She was beautiful and these pictures really don't do her justice.  I decided to use a sketch from Sketch n Scrap  for these pictures and I think it all worked together very well!

The challenge this week at Fantabulous Cricut is to create a project for a special couple, (Wedding, Anniversary). I have a some friends who are getting married soon so I decided to start working on a wedding scrapbook for them. I am making the layouts, but I will leave the photo matts empty so that they can add the pictures that they want to each page. The album is not yet done, but I will give you a sneak peek at some of the layouts that I have finished so far. The paper that I used for all of these layouts come the DCWV All Dressed Up Stack as well as the DCWV Glimmer Stack This layout was created using the Tie The Knot and Forever Young Cricut Cartridge. The flowers are from Petaloo. Tie The Knot Wall Decor and More Wall Decor and More Now it is your turn to create a special wedding project and upload it to the Fantabulous Cricut  blog.

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 th...

This weeks challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut blog is all about April showers. We are to use an umbrella, rain, or clouds on our projects. By this time I'm really hoping the showers are done, I've had enough of the rain! So maybe this project will usher the rain out and the sun in! Here's hoping :) For this card I used the umbrella from the Tie The Knot Cricut Cartridge. The title base is also from that cartridge. This cartridge really has been usful and has so many wonderful cuts on it. I have been able to use it on so much more than anything having to do with weddings. Just a tempting thought for you! The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed, then I added ribbon for an extra touch. The pattern paper comes from the My Mind's Eye Love Nest paper stack. Thank you for joining me on my blog this week. Now, you go and upload your April Showers inspired project at Fantabulous Cricut!

I recently went to a personal bridal shower, the theme was Victoria Secret. Talk about a fun shower! I don't think I've ever gone to a shower that was that much fun. They had the shower at a local Cupcake Shoppe, called Frosted  in Coeurd'Alene, Id. It was such a nice atmosphere and the cupcakes were amazing! This is the card I made for the bride to be. I am also entering this in the Made Especially For You Card challenge this week. Their challenge was to use three different papers for your project. I used the Sentimentals Cricut Cartridge for the Do Not Disturb sentiment and the Tie the Knot Cricut Cartridge for the corset. I used some pink and black polka dot pattern paper, some black glitter paper, and a piece of the grey metallic paper for the diecuts. Inside the card I made a bookmark using a Love definition stamp with more of the metallic paper and some black fiber.

I recently discovered a great new challenge blog, ok not new but new to me. The blog is called Cooking With Cricut . So, I decided to join in on their challenge this week. The challenge was to create a grown up valentine using the color black and brads. I dry embossed a black peice of cardstock and punched the corners using a Martha Stewart Corner Punch. I cut the heart and the sentiment base from the Tie The Knot Cricut Cartrige. I stamped the sentiment base with versamark ink and then used silver embossing powder over the top. For my brads I attached two heart shaped brads on either side of the sentiment after threading some black fiber through the holes. ******************************************* The layout below was made for a challenge on the Let's Scrap  forum. This is a great resource for sketches, if you like to scrap using sketches. They have cards and layout sketches to work from, plus great challenges every week. Below is the sketch and then my ...
