Fabulous Mini Album

The pattern base was started from Paper Phenomenon's Confessions of a Shopaholic pattern.  I had to add my own twist to it.  The pattern had flaps on main pages but with my Cricut I switched the flaps to purses.  I have to laugh because Kathy has produced over a dozen tutorials in the time that I have taken to get this done!  LOL

Cricut Circle Magazine, Thrift Store Find Challenge

On the way to visit my in-law's, I stopped in the Salvation Army Thrift Store looking for some goodie for the Cricut Circle thrift store find challenge.  These wooden trays caught my eye, I thought I could make a shadow box.  Perhaps in a later life, these trays were type-set boxes or maybe some old organization tray for a desk.  With my new Give a Hoot cart in hand, I thought I would make some earthy, peace loving, nature themed shadow box.  As you can see, I switched gears to accommodate my dear daughter's funky style.  All of the cuts are from Rock Princess except the deer who is from Give a Hoot.  The box has some of my daughter's bracelets and rings on display for some extra bling.  This is proudly on display in my Daughter's room, aka, the purple palace.

Easy Candy Box Sleeve

These are a last minute Halloween treat for my girls to give their friends at school.  (because I am sure they won't get any candy this weekend- sorry moms)  I used rock princess for the skull cut.
