My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday


Happy Monday!

Today is My Imagine-ation Monday at My Cricut Craft Room.  On Monday's the Design Team does projects using the Imagine, E2, Cricut Mini, and/or Cricut Craft Room. 
For today's A2 (5.5 x 4.25) sized card I used my Imagine.
I made this for Best Friend for Valentine's Day. :)

It's a pretty simple card today using Best Friends Imagine Cartridge.  I used the image from page 15, cut at 3.8...I used the layers function and deleted the little girl that normally prints with this image.  I then used the heart on the stock images that come on the imagine and flood filled it with the pattern from page 41, cut at 1.  The off white image is also from the stock images and flood filled with a color I made on my own using the RGB color wheel. (I don't remember the size)

I added stickles to the word You, but it seems like it just made it harder to read.
I can't wait to give this card to Bestie...she is so great!

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 - Christmas Countdown



Happy Wednesday,
Today at My Cricut Craft Room is Would you Guess Wednesday or Christmas Countdown.   On the 25th of every month this year Erica is having a Christmas Countdown.  Isn't that so fun?!  I am so excited to get a jump start to Christmas Cards 2012. LOL   I chose to do the Christmas Countdown so I can be that much closer to actually have cards ready this year.

For todays project I made a card using Jolly Holiday's Cricut Lite Cartridge!  I LOVE this cartridge (especially the Jolly Santa's)  This Santa is button 1 on the overlay and I cut him out at 3".  I love the Santa Clause paper I found made by Canvas Corp...it's called St Nick Words on White and Naughty or Nice Stamps on White (I cut my Sentiment from this sheet).  To finish off my card I added some Twine and Glossy Accents on the sentiment and on my Santa's bag, belt, and boots.

Supplies:
Jolly Holidays Cricut Lite Cartridge
Sew Easy Fancy Floss (Baker's Twine Primary)
Glossy Accents
Paper:  Canvas Corp - St Nick Words on White and
Naughty or Nice Stamps on White
Pop Up Dots
Inside of my card
The santa hat is also from the Naughty or Nice paper

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas Card and can't wait to create more Christmas Cards on the 25th of every month.  Please go to http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to see the other wonderful creations made by my DT Sisters.

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 - Art Philosophy


For today's A2 size card (4.25 x 5.5) I used the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.  This is such an awesome cartridge and I haven't created anything using the coordinating stamps that come with the cartridge so I thought I would give it a try...I even heat embossed. :)  I love that there are coordinating stamps with this cartridge and that the measurements are listed right by the stamp so it's a no brainer on what size to cut your image. 

Cricut Cuts:
Stamp Shape in the background - Button 4 on the overlay, cut at 4
Heart is <Shift> then button 49, cut at 2
The Stamp is button 5 on the overlay, cut at 1


Please go to http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to see what other great creations were made with this must have cartridge.
