Spring Forward with Cooking With Cricut

Happy Wednesday! Today marks a new challenge week over at Cooking With Cricut. This weeks theme is Spring Forward! Your project must have either a clock or time piece on it. I decided to make a layout for my project.



Please forgive my photography taking skills. haha! I can never seem to take a decent picture of my layouts. This is a layout of me and my dad on the beach when I was 3 years old. I recently ran across some pictures from my childhood and have been tossing around the idea to scrapbook them. I really hope I did the pictures justice. My father is no longer with me and I treasure all the pictures that I have of him. I am thinking about framing this one. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation. Don't forget to stop by Cooking with Cricut to check out what the rest of the DT came up with and to enter the challenge! Have a great crafty day!


Supplies:
Cricut--Graphically Speaking
Card Stock--Bazzill Bling
Misc.--Martha Stewart Traditional Eyelet Border Punch, Offray Ribbon

Cartridge Toss-Up with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More

Happy Monday! I know I normally post the Cartridge Toss-Up on Tuesdays but I have a rather busy blog week this week so I will be posting it today. My very good friend Kimberly from Kimberly's Crafty Spot has agreed to help me out with these projects every week. So, from now on instead of seeing just 2 projects a week from one cartridge, you will get to see 4! 2 from me and 2 from Kimberly. How cool is that? She is super talented so you will not be disappointed.

This week, Kimberly and I are focusing on the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cricut cartridge. I was so happy that I was able to get the free download of this cartridge through the gypsy promotion.

The cut I chose to work with for todays project is purse1.



I loaded the purse onto my gypsy and sized it at 9.25". After it was cut out, I did some faux stiching and assembled it. I then used a flower cut from Graphically Speaking at 2.5" and attached it to the front of the purse with some foam adhesive. I then added a little bow to the handle and a little rhinestone to the center of the flower and Voila! So cute! What a cute little gift to give to someone filled with some candy! I love having little projects like this on hand and at the ready. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation! Don't forget to stop by Kimberly's blog to see what she came up with. :)



Supplies:
Cricut--Tags, Bags, Boxes and More & Graphically Speaking

Inking It Up Crazy DT Project

Happy Friday! I am so excited to be able to announce that I have been picked to be on the Inking It Up Crazy Design Team!

Kassidy, thank you so much for allowing me this amazing opportunity to be on your amazing design team with so many talented ladies! I am truly honored!

For my first project as an Inking It Up Crazy designer, I decided to make a card for my hubby. I love making him cards and giving them to him for no particular reason/holiday other than just to tell him "I love you". Here is what I made:



I love the red/black/white combo. For my card, I kept it a A2 size and stamped the white background with a heart background stamp. I cut my main image out of Graphically Speaking at 3". Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today to see my latest project! Don't forget to head over to Inking It Up Crazy to see what the other designers came up with. Have a great crafty day!
