My Cricut Craft Room - Scrapbook Friday

Happy Friday my Crafty friends!

TGIF...I am so happy it is friday and today is Scrapbook Friday on My Cricut Craft Room.  The theme for today is Wedding/Love.  My wedding album is a work in progress and I was posting a two page spread once a week before Christmas, but it got moved to the back burner.  I want to get back into this as it has helped me to get my album worked on.  I have been married for three years and am just now getting to it. LOL  So if you want to see the other Wedding pages I have done please go to my

Labels: Scrapbook Pages - Wedding. :)

Here are the images again a little bigger...I wanted to show them side by side above since it is a 2 page LO.  Sorry for the poor quality of the pics...any good tips for taking pics of scrapbook pages would be appreciated. :)

The first page is before the wedding of my husband and his family.

The second page is the Mother's/Grandmother being seated along with my sweet ring bearer and flower girl.

My Cricut Cuts:

I used a fun image from Storybook (Border Feature <Shift> Button 2 on overlay - cut at 4) to make the green background on both pages.

On the first page I grouped two pictures together and added photo corners, which can be found on Straight From the Nest (Corner Feature <Shift> Button 1 on overlay - cut at 1)

Please go to My Cricut Craft Room to see what other wonderful LO's were created today.

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 - 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.

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. :)

My Cricut Craft Room - Would you guess Wednesdays

Happy Wednesday,

We are half way through the week.  Yay!  Today I created this 5x5 card using the Storybook Cricut Cartridge.  This cartridge has a lovely font, but it also has some great Function Keys which is what we DT members focus on for Would you guess Wednesdays at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/. 

My cuts today are from page 47 of the handbook.  I first selected the Accent/Frame Function key and pressed shift and this was cut at 3.75.  Then from the same page I selected the Shorty/Holes Function key and pressed shift for this cut as well...this was cut at 2.34.  I used my Gypsy so I was able to place the flower over the frame and used the sizing arrow until it layered perfectly.  I then stringed some ribbon I had from my stash through the holes on the frame, popped up my flower with some foam adhesive squares, doodled, and added some stickles for some bling and ended up with this super simple yet elegant card.

Supplies:
Cricut Cartrdige:  Storybook
Paper:  DCWV Lemon Flower Stack (I am loving this stack!)
Stickles: 
Recollections Foam Adhesive Square
Sakura Gelly Roll Pen:  White

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today.
