My Imagitivity: Scrapbook LO

My Cricut Craft Room - Scrapbook Friday

Today is Scrapbook day at My Cricut Craft Room.

Today we are to use Pink & Black in our LO. I scrapbooked pictures I had from New Years Eve 2010. Every year my husband and I spend New Year's Eve with my sister and my Niece and Nephews. This particular year I didn't get a photo of my oldest nephew, but I did love these pictures and wanted to make a fun LO.

I used two Cricut Cartriges and my Gypsy for this LO.

The Font is from Wild Card and is sized at 1.75 and welded. I have to say welding is my absolute favorite feature on my Gypsy!

The second cut helps ground the New Years Eve sentiment and is from Storybook - Feature Button Accent Blackout, button 45, cut att 7.35.

One last tip...I put all four pictures on a single mat, but to make the one picture of me and my husband stand out I made a separate mat on that picture and turned it a bit. I'm happy with how it turned out.

My Cricut Craft Room's October 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Happy Sunday Crafters,

Thank you for joining us today for Day Two of My Cricut Craft Room's October 100 Cartridge Blog Hop. You should have hopped to me from Karey Jeans bloggy goodness...if you just came across my blog and would like to start at the beginning of the hop please go to My Cricut Craft Room. This month I chose to use three cartridges (Elegant Edges, Straight from the Nest, Best Friends - Imagine) Can you believe it's already October? In honor of October I created a couple fall projects. My first project is an A2 size card and I used both Elegant Edges and Straight from the Nest for this project.

Cricut Cuts using Gypsy:

Elegant Edges - Using Feature Button Oblong Frames <Shift>, button 41 on overlay

Straight From the Nest - Button 13, welded on to the frame sized at 3.75

Button 13 <Shift>, cut at 3.5", Layer Feature cut at 3.5"

The Leaves are button 29 cut at 2.5" three times

For my card I used 12x12 paper and had enough left over for a 12x12 Layout, which is my next project.

I used the same cartridges (Elegant Edges & Straight from the Nest)

Cricut Cuts using Gypsy:

Elegant Edges - Feature Frame <Shift>, button 4 on the overlay, 1 cut at 4.88" & 2 cut at 3.81"

Straight from the Nest - The tree is button 12 on the overlay, cut at 4.5

Same button and size <Shift>

Feature Phrase, Button 49 on overlay, cut at 2.5"

My last project for today's hop is an A2 sized Birthday Card using an Imagine Cartridge - Best Friends.
I'm new to card making and am still trying to build up my collection of cards I have on hand.
