Shaped Album from Blog Hop

Shaped Album from Blog Hop

This was all made from the shaped album from Bo Bunny the Camp-a-lot collection



I used bottle caps the make the 2 circles on the left. I used gold stickles for the banners and The Twinery Twine for the twine. On the right I used the embellishment set, made my own bottle caps and applied stickers.






The page on the left took a VERY long time. I used cinnimon stickles for all of the brown and then gems on every other dot. The page on the right is all stickers and Bo Bunny embellishments





This was all cut out with square punches, and some stickers. I used the Martha Stewart Punch around the page Stars and then put brown star paper behind is.




The hat on the left is my favorite page. I used netting, some embellished brands. The page on the right was from the 12x12 cut outs for the "Let the Adventure begin"





The page on the left I stamped the raccoon from the Bo Bunny stamp set, the "Have a Wonderful Day" is a Scrapbooking Queen The King's Birthday stamp set
The page on the right is stickers, bottlecaps I made and the small paper is from the 6x6 paper pack.





The page on the left was embossed with the Retro Kitchen Cuttlebug set and stickers. The page on the right was embellished with Gold stickles.





Castle Album from the blog hop

Castle Album from the Blog Hop


In this first picture I used Pretty Pennants and cut them at 2 3/4"

I used Creative Memories Divine Wedding for the letters in them. I designed this with Cricut's Craft Room to get the letters right where I wanted it. I used an older Bo Bunny Collection of papers called Paradise.






On the left striped paper I used the Skyward Set of Cuttlebug embossing folders then I turned the paper over and inked the noh-embossed parts. So the actual embossing does not have ink, I did the parts around it.



Square Happy Camper Album.... from the Blog Hop

Square Happy Camper Album....

Here is one of the TWO camping albums I made.
This was all made with Bo Bunny Camp-a-lot papers and embellishments and some embellishments that I made myself.


Here is the cover....
I left it partially blank so the person who would add their pictures and their own title.



The page on the left is a 6x6 stripe paper from the 6x6 pack. Then the cut out is from the 12x12 cutout papers. Then I added some stickers from the cardstock stickers. The page on the right also uses a 6x6 paper as the background, then the cutouts from the 12x12 cutouts paper. I made the silver tag myself and the rest are stickers from one of the 4 sticker sheet sets in this collection.


The page on the left is the dot paper from the 6x6 paper stack. The tag on the top right is from the embellishments, the stickers on the top are from the 12x12 sticker pack. The cut out at the bottom is from the 12x12 cutouts paper.
The page on the right is the pack of the 12x12 cutout paper. No embellishments at all.



Each of these pages are from the 12x12 cut out papers. The tent on the right is a sticker from the 3-d cardstock stickers. The banner was cut from Martha Stewart All Occasion Cake Art. Cut at 1 1/2" I used my Xyron sticker maker to make the banner letters into stickers.


The page on the left is from the 12x12 cut outs paper. The page on the right is from the 6x6 paper and the row of animals on the bottom is from the back side of the 12x12 cut out paper. The tag on the top left I made.



This page is from the bottom right corner of the 12x12 paper. The Man with a plan is a sticker.

Design Team Call

June is the end of the first year's term.

January 2012-January 2013 or July 2012-July 2013
Those who joined in January are here until January, but those who joined last June....
their term is up and some of them are moving on.

I am looking for 6 new members.
There are 6 members moving on and I would love to offer those positions to talent ladies.
Here is a little bit about it....

My Cricut Craft Room


I am looking for people for all talent levels, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.

So even if you have never shared anything that you have made,
even if you do not know much about a blog.... I still want you!

You have to make one project each week. You also must participate in the 100 Cricut Cartridge blog hop the first full weekend each month.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the typical weekly guidelines.
Within the guidelines the themes from week to week vary.

On Monday we use a letter of the day, Let's say the letter is D, They can make something with a cartridge that begins with the letter D, such as Damask Decor, Doodlecharms....etc
Or they may make something that starts with the letter D, Dog, Dish, Dots....etc
Or they make something using a feature key that starts with the letter D,
The other option for each Monday is the option to use the Imagine cartridges in the Imagine machine or the E2, the cricut mini or the Cricut Craft Room Exclusive cartridges.

On Tuesday we make cards. You can use that week's sketch from the challenge to make a card or use that Tuesday's theme

Wednesday we use cartridges in unique ways that most people would never think of.... Would You Ever Guess Wednesday, the idea is to say I would never have thought of that. We will also show you a specific technique used then I will teach that technique Wednesday night on Ustream.

Thursdays are our Theme days, I give a different theme each week or within that theme you can make a home decor project, card, scrapbook layout.... or anything.
I also give the option to use that day's specific cartridge.

Fridays are Scrapbook days.
There are always two options, one might be a color choice, theme, or another fun thing.
---------------------------------

You get the weekends off, except the first weekend of the month when we go through 100 cartridges during our 100 cartridge blog hop the first weekend of each month.

As a design team member you would be responsible for one posting a week on your blog and link it back to my blog.
