Cricut Circle Magazine Challenge

Today I made an entry for the Cricut Circle Magazine Challenge.  The challenge was to take one of the Circle Design team sketches and put your own spin on it.  I chose to make a St. Patrick's Day card to go with the little project I made earlier in the week for my hubby!

I used the rainbow from Create a Critter and the pot of gold from Paper Doll Dress Up.  I also used 5 Cuttlebug folders, 5 colors of twine from The Twinery and the sentiment is from Jaded Blossom stamp set Luck of the Irish.  Here is the sketch and my take on it....

I hope you enjoyed looking at my little project today....I'll keep on posting, so please keep on checking back!

Jaded Blossom March Challenge Entry

Hi!  Well, can you believe it two posts in two days....How is that possible?  Well, I am taking some time off from work right now and I am determined while I am doing that I am going to make as much fun stuff as I can and enter as many challenges and contests as possible.

I had an idea in my mind that I wanted to do for the Jaded Blossom monthly challenge, but that all went out the window when I saw this cute little candy container.  The challenge is to use green (my favorite color) and at least one Jaded Blossom product.  So, I used Green Stayz On ink and stamped using the Jaded Blossom Luck of the Irish stamp set.  I used a little Peapod baker's twine from The Twinery to tie the little candy scoop!  Viola....Got a cute little something for my hubby for St. Patrick's Day.  I filled it with Lemonhead candies as he loves lemon!

Thank you for checking out my project.  I hope you like it!  Check out www.jadedblossom.com for some super cute stamps and other products that will make your party favors and gift giving really easy and memorable!

Smash Book ---- Where's mine?

I made my niece a Smash Book last Summer for her 12th birthday.  I have been wanting to make one for myself ever since.  I am taking a few months off from work, so I think my first project will be to make myself a Smash Book.  I have a friend that jokes I never make anything for myself....well, here we go!

I wish I had taken pictures of the inside, but this is 8x8 and I used the DCWV

Doodlin' Around pad to make most of this.  This was the first thing I made with

my Bind it All.

Valentine's Day Coloring Book

Hi, All -
I shock myself at times....I have been wanting to attempt a coloring book by using my Cricut and the marker sets I got a year and half ago....Well, I actually did it! I made a coloring book for my nephew with some of his favorite things for Valentine's Day. I designed it on the Cricut Craft Room.  Had the "cuts" drawn on plain white cardstock and cut the pages to 4" x 6".  Next, I scored them at 1/4 inch for easy opening of the book when bound.  Lastly, I used my Your Story to bind the cover and the pages and added a little vinyl for the cover.

Hubby got a little home made goodness today, too!  I gave him this shape card that I made using Jaded Blossom Stamps and Lovestruck 2010 cartridge.  My first ever shape card.

Happy Valentine's Day - mailboxes

Hi, All -
I finally did a project that was in my head in the same year I thought to do it!!!!  I wanted to decorate the little Target mailboxes for my team at work for Valentine's Day.  So, I did!  I made 17 of them and put a box of conversation hearts in them.

Check it out.....

Used vinyl from VinylEase and several different Cricut Cartridges including Calligraphy and Lovestruck.
