Merry Christmas

 Good Morning!

 Today I wanted to share with you all a Christmas Card I made. This Card is 9 by 4 in size which was very different for me to do. I actually think I love the size of the card and plan on making more and also doing other cards of different sizes and shapes!

 The trees are from the Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge. I had to use a different star than the one on the cart because the explore wasn't cutting the stars on this tree to well.

 The sentiment is done using the explore writing tool.

 I even dug out my knock out punches which I never used and did the stars across the bottom!

 Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You Cards Cricut

Happy Saturday!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!

Today I wanted to share a couple of Thank You Cards I made.
The butterfly is from the Paper Trimmings Cartrdidge.
And I used the cricut markers to write out the text.

The paper was Close to my Heart. But for the life of me I can not remember what the paper pack name was.

And of course I had to add some glitter!

Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Pebbles Hip Hip Hooray Card

Happy Friday! Today I am sharing with you two cards I made using the bright and cheerful Pebbles Hip Hip Hooray collection!

And cut the the frame using Cricut Design Space, the Explore, the Artise Cartridge, and the note card image.

Today I wanted to share a card I made following One of She's A Sassy Lady's Video Tutorials.
I honestly hardly ever touch my gypsy and it sits collecting dust because I really have no clue how to use it
and really never bothered to practice. But I am going to start! I had so much fun following along with Sheila's video that I want to give my gypsy a little more one on one time. And the fun part is she is having a challenge and you can enter what you make!

I did pretty much follow hers step by step because I am not too familiar with my gypsy yet. I am for sure going to be checking out all of her videos. TY Sheila for making this card so easy!

I also wanted to announce the winner of my blog candy for the Getting Crafty With The Cameo Blog Hop.
It was so much fun!

Flower Arrangement

Good Morning Everyone!  Today is my first post for being on The Bugbytes Design Team. I was very honored when Pam asked me to join in! TY so much Pam for having me!

Today I have to share with you a cute flower arrangement I made to display on my front porch.

 I had saved some oatmeal containers because I had seen a project in a magazine for Valentine's day using them. Well I never got around to using them in February so I brainstormed another way to use them. I had been wanting to put a cute decoration on our front covered porch so I decided to use it to make it.

I covered it in paper. And filled half way with Kitty Litter.

Created my cut outs in the Cricut Craft Room.

 

The flowers were cut from the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials.

The Butterfly is from the digital Cricut Basics in the craft room.

Flowers cut at 3. Butterfly at 2.25.

Here is my paper button buttons I chose to use

I painted some white dowels with brown ink.

Assembled all of my pieces

I arranged each flower into the kitty litter ( holds the sticks up great ) and then filled it the rest of the way  with shredded paper. Tied ribbon and hemp around top and added butterfly.

Thank you so much for looking:) Hugs!

Spring Wreath

Good Morning Everyone!

I am very honored to be guest designer today over at She's A Sassy Lady.  Thanks Sheila for having me again!


I am so ready for spring so I decided to make a springy project!

For this project I used my Cricut Imagine.

I used two cartridges. Cricut Imagine Blossom and Cricut Sophie Cartridge.

These are the supplies I used. I ended up adding a SU ribbon to the mix that isnt shown in the 

photo.

I went into cricut craft room and flood filled flowers, butterflies, and bird using the Sophie and Blossom 

cartridges. 

Assembled the items with some cute buttons. 

Wrapped the circle with the ribbon.

And then glued the flowers, butterflies, bird, and bow to the front of the wreath.

Thank you so much for looking.

Mini Valentines

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hey everyone! I just wanted to quickly share with you a simple valentine I threw together for my sons preschool party. I made them all the same because of time restraints.

I used the Cricut Imagine Better Together cartridge for the cute bear.
 And the Sentiment is from MY Pink Stamped.

 Did you hear that Google is pulling the plug on google friend connect for all non blogger blogs?
 If you subscribe via Google connect come March you will no longer get updates on my blog via the friend connect. I don't want to loose any of my blogger friends.

 I believe that it is mostly all non blogger users it wont work for but I am looking for alternatives to use for non blogger users and blogger users.

I found a cool site called Blog Lovin http://bloglovin.com where people can follow blogs. So if you do not use Blogger and want to continue following my blog please try following through that instead. Even if you use blogger you may like to follow blogs using this platform. It puts all blog posts in one spot for you.
Follow my blog with Bloglovin

 Or if you want please follow by email .

Or use Google reader to follow me.

 Or you can subscribe through my RSS feed ( which I will be adding a gadget for today )

 Or on Facebook... I have an account but don't use it ... now I will have to start ..lol And I will get a widget up for that over the next day or so too.

 I may do a twitter ( for those that prefer that )
I will also be adding the networked blogs gadget too. http://www.networkedblogs.com/

 I also may try the Google plus although I looked at it and it seems like a lot of work. But will look some more into it.

 I will keep everyone posted on what I found to help so we don't loose all of our blogger friends. With links to the sites so you all can add them to your blogs. Also I recommend once you have added all your gadgets send out a newsletter to all the followers on Google connect asking them to choose another method if the change will effect them. If you sign into Google connect there is an option to send out a newsletter. But before you do get all of your alternatives up on your blog so when they get the newsletter their options will already be there for them.

Valentine's Day Gift Jar

 Good morning everyone. I hope everyone has a great day today!

 I was honored to be guest post again over at She's A Sassy Lady. Thank you Sheila for having me again this month!

 For todays project I put together a cute little Valentine's Day jar. I had a lot of fun doing this project. 

First I started with an old peanut container. I peeled off the label and ran it through the dishwasher.

I then took some Stampin Up paper and cut it at 7x4 so it would wrap around the jar half way.

Then I opened up my Cricut Craft Room.  

The bug is from the Cricut Cartridge Simply Charmed. And the scalloped circle is 

from the Cricut Craft Room Basics digital cartridge.

The bug and its layers I cut at 3 inches. The scalloped square I cut at 3.25 inches.

I used a red ink around the scalloped square. 

And black ink and red chalk to draw in the face ( I hid the contours of the face when cutting it )

After glueing the paper to the jar I took my pink ribbon and wrapped it around

having it meet in the front of the jar. Taped it in the front and then glued the the scalloped square 

over it. I then took a couple of 3d pop dots and added the cute love bug to the front.

Took another piece of the pink  ribbon, some read thread, and a red button.

Created the bow and then glued on the side.

Then I added some glitter to his antennas and his heart. 

The lid on the jar I took off white ribbon and glued it around the jar.

And then added the finishing touch of the red thread and button to the lid.

I then added some fun Valentine's Day candy to the inside:)

Thank you so much for checking out my post here at She's A Sassy Lady.

Hugs

Chris

Christmas Train Frame

Happy Sunday

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

Today I wanted to share with you all a Christmas Train Picture frame:)

This project took me days to complete and I was not as happy with the end results as I had hoped to be.

I used a couple of cricut cartridges to make the project.

I used the cricut craft room to make it:)

The trains are from the B Is For Boy Cricut Cartridge. I did cut the train a bit different by using hide contour to hide some parts that I did not want on the train. And I grouped a square in three places so it would cut out a spot for the pictures.

I used cereal box in the middle and coved both the front and the back with heavy card stock.

I flood filled the train with colors from the Mr. Frosty Imagine Cricut Cartridge.

I cut the track using Cricut Pop Up Neighborhood cartridge and flood filled it with a basic black.

I cut the tracks four times and glued all four pieces together to give the tracks some dimension.

The tree is from The Give A Hoot Cricut Cartridge. Flood filled with basic colors. I also cut several layers of card stock to make the tree sturdy.

The hills in background is from the Give A Hoot Cartridge too:)

I mixed glitter and flock together and applied it on the tree, the hill, the ground, and the tracks to give it a snow like effect.

Added some embellishments and I was done.

Oh I also cut white card stock and bent it slightly on one side. Glued the hill to it and the tracks and stuff so that the frame would stand up on its own.

It was a lot of fun to try something different but I am not 100 percent pleased at how it turned out. But definitely a learning experience and I hope each time I try something different it comes out better each time.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a peek:)
