Theme Day Thursday May 23, 2013 -Southwest Theme

I am looking for some more people to participate in a Wedding themed blog hop this weekend. We want to give as many possibly wedding themed ideas. New or Old projects. It is a 2 day blog hop and you can make anything as long as you use your Cricut and it is Wedding/ Wedding shower/ bachelorette/bachelor party. They can be cards, scrapbook pages, 3-d items, invited, thanks yous, table decor, ANYTHING at all wedding themed. Here is the facebook group to join in and make a few projects. One project, 100 projects or anywhere in between. Again you can make a new project or post ALL of the wedding themed projects you have made.

Card Creating Tuesday May 21, 2013 Critter Cards

Today the challenge was to make "Critter cards" 

Well I decided to add my usual twist to it and instead of using a critter I used Create a Critter 2, but I used everything EXCEPT the critter.  My baby is Graduating from Pre-K to go to Kindergarten so this card is for her big day next Friday!!  I used old paper and Best Creation Glitter paper. 

I cut this at 6" and welded two stars to make my own card. Page 50 the from Create a Critter 2. I thought it came out cute for a 5 year old!

My Mind can Design Monday May 20, 2013 - Child Theme Cartridges with a twist

Erica (me) made these first 4 layouts. I used Cricut The First Few Years for all of them and I just followed the book for the dimensions suggested. I love this cartridge because everything is already proportional for a 12x12 layout. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this cartridge. They layouts seem pretty simple or as jazzy as you want to make them. You can see in the first one how much extra "bling" I added to it. I also used stickles to sparkle up the borders. I also used white liquid pearls to make the white dots "pop"

 

This is Best Creation Safari Girl paper (a few years old)

This is American Crafts Neapolitan paper collection

"Happy Day" and the Ice Cream cone is from The First few Years
