Holiday Post!

I saw a fun little gift box at TJMaxx with this idea and knew I had to make my own version.

 I used the Cricut Artiste cartridge for the box and the mustache.

In November, we made 3 fun Holiday cards.

 The card above was inspired by Amie Kiger's card I saw on Pinterest.

This card was inspired by the Cricut Artbooking cartridge.

This card was inspired by Lisa Stenz's version and also the original on Lisa Young's page.

These are the ornaments my children made as Christmas gifts this year inspired by Pinterest although I was not able to find the original and altered my version a bit.

October Happenings and 5000!!!

First of all, I am so excited this post will bring me to 5,000 views of my blog!  So, I guess it's worthwhile and you all enjoy sharing in this way. Me too!
This layout is for the October class on the 21st at Bean's Country Store.  You don't want to miss out on ordering from the newly released Holiday Gift Guide (available to order from 10/15/13).  Let me know if you'd like to join us by 10/10/13.  I used the Sarita paper pack, the One-Way Borders Stamp set and of course a few Cricut Artbooking elements.
I cleaned out my stash due to watching too many episodes of Hoarders and Clean House! So, it actually helped to get my creative juices flowing.
I also made a card using the October SOTM.

Artbooking

This month's layout is from the Cricut Artbooking cartridge.  I will demonstrate how to make an Artbooking layout at our next gathering on September 16th.  I used the Huntington paperpack with some bronze glitter paper and bronze glitz glue.

Babycakes!

 

This month we are making a layout using the new Babycakes paper pack. I managed to find some newborn pics of my goddaughter Skylar.  She's now 7 1/2!  Administering the NYS ELA exams prevented me from being there for the actual birth. But, my sis filled me in on the details and I took enough pictures to fill an album.

The layout involved use of the Cricut.  I used the Artiste cartridge to make the fancy squares and the NEW Artbooking Cartridge for the title and animals.  This cart has some nice non-generic items that go with CTMH stamp sets.

This month if you send $50 you will receive the Stamp of the Month Free!
