Precious Cupcake

 KaDoodle Bug Blog hop is HERE

I have been experimenting with digi stamps and my Cameo.  I was able to get the print and cut function working with the Designer's Editon software.  This adorable image from Fun 'n' Flair Stamps, Polkadot Pretty, is colored with Copic markers.  She is ADORABLE!  Oh my goodness, I want to put her on everthing!! Today, she in on a cupcake card from Cricut's Sweet Treats cartrige.

Peachy Keen Stamp of the Month!

I have a post today with my first project made with Peachy Keen Stamps May Stamp of the Month.  The Stamp of the Month and co-ordination add on sets will be available for purchase on Saturday.   I stamped this kabob and made a skewer out of wire.  My BBQ "rack" is a cupcake liner from a Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge.  AND if you ask that pearl onion on the grill... He was pushed! (I would cry too, LOL)

Wrapping Paper Tube Mini Album

I wanted to share this quick mini I made using a wrapping paper cardboard tube.  The pockets are roomy and could accommodate more tags.  I plan to embellish more when I get pictures placed in the album.  The tags are from the Sweet Treats cartridge, which in my humble opinion, has the best tags because they have toppers.  An additional pull was placed on the tags, a peppermint, was cut from Holiday Cakes.  Holiday Cakes was used to cut the sentiment on the cover.  The word "merry" on the cover was cut with my sizzix dies.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge # 10

Here is the challenge:  So this week we want you to create a project that is about, includes, or holds a holiday recipe. This could be a scrapbook page, a mini album, a recipe box or book, a Gift for a Neighbor . . . the sky’s the limit. But we want to see you pay tribute to a holiday recipe in some way.

Well, I am not much of a cook but my neighbor's do enjoy my brownies so I was inspired to share them this Christmas with this cute treat box.  I cut the present party favor from Sweet Treats including the present tag.  I cut the favor at 5 inches and there is room for a good size brownie and a little candy too.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge # 8

This weeks challenge was to follow their sketch provided with a vintage theme using 3 vintage elements and at least 2 cuts.  I love vintage and shabby chic and made this design to hang in my sewing room.  Now I need to find a frame AND a sewing room!  (Aww, someday.)  My Mom taught me to sew and I used buttons from her button stash for this project.  It was a great treat as a kid to sort through mom's button box. 

Cut Summary:  dress form- French Manor, sewing machine- Country Life, thread- Happily Every After, phrase- Nursery Rhyme,  tags- Sweet Treats, layers for flowers- Forever Young, lace circle- Holiday Cakes.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #4, Boo!

This was a fun challenge requesting a Halloween project that used at least 2 cuts and a transparent element.  I used Sweet Treats to cut my favor box and Mini Monsters for the sweet little pumpkin.  I cut vellum for the pumpkin leaf.  The handle is made from the plastic net that you buy oranges in at the grocery store.
