My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. 

I spent most of mine in my craft room so it was a very fun weekend for me. :)

Today is My Cricut Craft Rooms My Imagine-ation Monday.  I just love my Imagine...today I used Hello Kitty Greetings and Better Together Imagine Cartridge. 

 One of my favorite features on the Imagine is flood filling images from other cartridges with an Imagine pattern.  This is what I've done for today's card.

Cricut Cuts:

I used the Card Feature Button on Hello Kitty Greetings, Button 9, cut at 5.0 Rel.

This image was flood filled with the pattern from Better Together, page 36.

Feture Button Clothes Layer's, Button 9, cut at 5.0 Rel.

Flood filled with the light yellow that comes with the Better Together Color Palette.

Feature Button Sillohette, Button 9, cut at 5.0 Rel.

Flood filled with the darker yellow that comes with the Better Together Color Palette.

To finish up my card I used pop dots to pop the sun's face and added googley eyes.

I also attached Lemon Divine Twine

 and of course some Stickles (don't remember which ones exactly)

Here is the inside of my card. 

The seintiment is from Pink By Design's Take the Cake.

It says "Hope your day is filled with sunshine & smiles."

The stamped border is from My Creative Time.

Now isn't that just perfect? :)

Please go to My Cricut Craft Room to see all of the other great projects today.

Thank you for stopping by today.

My Cricut Craft Room 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop - Day One

Happy Saturday Crafters,
Thank you for joining us today on the first 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop of 2012.  You should have come from Karey's crafty goodness.  If you came across this post as one of my followers please start at the begining of the blog hop Here.

For my project this month I made a calendar using Chipboard Hanging Calendar that I got from Erica from My Cricut Craft Room.  I used Create A Critter for my images and patterns from the following Cricut Imagine Cartridges:  Best Friends, Better Together, Imagine More, Imagine More Cards, Kate's Kitchen, & Nursery Tails.  For the calendar part I used My Creative Time Stamps (Whimsical Calendar Days & XL Label Borders)  I also used the XL Label Die that coordinates with these stamp sets.  I am going to use this as my Birthday Calendar in my craft room since it is not year specific.  I didn't want every month to show so instead of hanging it as intended I am going to have them sit on the pictured easel three months at a time.

 

Below each picture is the Imagine Cartridge used and the size of the Critter.

On the back of each month I created a pocket and used the My Creative Time's die so I can write the name of who's birthday's are on that specific month or any other notes I might want to add for that month.  I like to include the year the person was born...I have a lot of kiddos in my life and it's getting harder to remember their ages, so this helps me a lot. :)

I had such a blast with these Critter's and the Imagine patterns.

My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

Happy Monday...It's Thanksgiving week.  Is everyone ready for yummy food and spending time with family?  I am super excited for the short work week!  For today's project I am feartured on My Cricut Craft Room's My Imagine-ation Monday.  I created this plaqure for Thanksgiving.  This is the first Home Decor project I made and really love how it turned out.

For the plaque I used a foam board that was in my husbands Nook packaging as extra filling.  I love finding ways to reuse packaging like this.

Cartridge Cuts:

Create A Critter - Button 47 on overlay including all three layers, cut at 3.5

Storybook - Feature Key Shorty/Holes <Shift>, button 40 on overlay, cut at 4.5

Holiday Cakes - Feature Font <Shift>, button 46 on overyay, cut at 1.5

Imagine Better Together - Images flood filled  with patterns on pages 38,40, & 42

I embossed using the Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots embossing folder and added some ribbon to complete my Happy Thanksgiving plaque.

I hope you enjoyed my project.

Please go to My Cricut Craft Room to see what the other Design Team members created.

Thanks,

Jen

My Cricut Craft Room 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop

Happy Saturday...I hope everyone is having a great start to this Labor Day Weekend.

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop...this is my first time participating in a blog hop so I am super excited.  You should have come from Jen R if not please start at the begining http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/  if not please start at the beginning. 

On this Blog Hop you will see 100 different Cricut Cartridges used.

For my first creation today I made a 5.5x5.5 card using Hello Kitty Greetings, Storybook and Better Together (Imagine cartridge).  The cuts are as follows:

• Hello Kitty Greetings (Page 39 cut at 4.5).  I flood filled Hello Kitty's dress and bow layer with a pattern from Better Together (Page 42) and the ballon layers were flood filled with coordinating colors in the Better Together Color Palette.  I then embossed these with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. 
• Storybook (Page 75 - Function Key - Accent Frame - Shift - cut at 5")  This shape was flood filled with the pattern from Better together (page 38). 
• Storybook (Page 71 - Function Key - Accent Blackout - cut at 1.5 x 2) and I stamped my sentiment in that shape (the sentiment is from My Creative Time Stamps - Many Greetings).  I then cut this same shape at 4.5 x 2.5 to go on the inside of my card.  I added some stitching and all done.

Now for Mini Monsters.  One of my Besties asked me to help her decorate for her son's third birthday party and he wanted a Monster theme.  This was perfect because I just got Mini Monsters and I couldn't wait to use it.  I made a couple projects to help decorate for the birthday party.



Mini Monsters Birthday Banner
All of the monsters for the banner were cut at 8" and the letters are from A Child's Year cut at 3.31".  On the Gypsy I used the Hide Countour feature so the eyes wouldn' cut so I could use googly eyes.  I then attached the monsters to 2.5" Celbrate It Basic Ribbon that says Happy Birthday.  They were attached to the side without the words and then the ribbon was flipped so you can see the Happy Birthday on the ends.

Mini Monsters Goodie Bags
 The orange/green goodie bag was cut at 5.71"...this size I was able to cut two monsters on the mat.  The blue/orange goodie bag was cut at 6.18"...this size only allowed one monster per mat because of the handles.

Birthday boy Landon biting the monster's toe...Isn't this cake absolutely adorable.  This cake was made by Landon's mommy.  I striclty create with paper. LOL  The little monster is tired after his party. :)

Thank you for stopping by along the hop.  Next stop is the lovely and talented Laura.
