Custom Album Cover

It is time to start a new 12 by 12 album, so I thought I would customize the 4 by 6 window on the front.  Gypsy Font was used for the monogram and for the layers behind the monogram.  The "H" was flipped so the scroll would balance better.  This is an entry for the Cricut Circle's weekly challenge where they asked you to create a project withe the starter cartridges that were included with your machine. 

Two Snow Birds

This scrapbook page stars my little gals, they are my little snow birds ready to ski.  The paper dolls are from Everyday Paper dolls and have peachy keen stamps for their faces.  Ski jackets were dry embossed with my cuttlebug.  Everyday paper dolls cartridge plus embossing are the requirements for Emma's Throwback Thursday's Challenge which I be entering with this project.  Three Birds on Parade cartridge was used for the title and the snowflake journal spot. 

It is Me

A scrapbook page of me for the B.A.B.Y. (Brads, Aqua, Butterfly, and You) Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge.   I cut puzzle pieces with My Community and welded icons on the puzzle pieces to tell a little about me.  My husband took this picture on the Mark Twain paddle boat at Disneyland. 

Party Animal

This crab is crawling by with snappy birthday wishes.  My card is for Peachy Keen's sketch challenge where they asked you to follow a sketch and pick monochromatic colors.  The crab's face is stamped with PK-754 Critter Faces Set A medium. 

Paper Flower Pomander

I made this flower pomander as an entry for the Cricut Circle January Monthly Challenge:  Scraplift a circle blog project!  A perk of the Cricut Circle is access to their Cricut Circle blog, which in my humble opinion is worth the membership fee alone.  Such inspiration!  So when asked to make one of their projects for a challenge is was more like, "Which one?" 

For the challenge, they require you to use at least 2 or more cricut cuts.  This project has 176 separate flower cuts.  I chose the October 15 entry, Nancy Damiano's paper flower pomander as my project to scraplift.  Nancy had used a cuttlebug daisy and chrysanthemum quiling kits to create her flowers.  I just used my cricut and the Forever Young cartridge to make my flowers.  Each flower is actually 4 flower cuts and pinned on a five inch Styrofoam ball with a floral pin.  In addition, to qualify you must use at least two products from the sponsors of the Cricut Circle.  I used Bazzill Basics for my card stock of choice on this project.  The ribbon was attached to the top with some stick pins from the Your Family History Scrapbook kit by Creating Keepsakes.  

Let's Party, Sponge Bob Style

Here are some decorations I made with my cricut and Sponge Bob cartridge for my daughter's slumber party.  The banner says "party" and the font is from Life is a Beach.  Many cuts of pink jelly fish tied with thread were hanging  throughout the house, a few are hanging from the light fixture over the table.  I cut a large Sponge Bob to play "pin the tie on Sponge Bod" game too.

Whale Tails

Here is a scrapbook page capturing the last time I will set foot on a boat.  I got so sick and was horrified that the children on the boat were more interested in this sick lady (me) than the amazing whales that were popping out of the ocean right before our eyes.  This project is for the Cricut Circle's Weekly Challenge #16: Cute As a Button Sketch Challenge!  Rules are to follow their sketch, add stamps, and buttons.  The whale is from Just Because Cards, and the "tails" is a "details" cut from Graphically Speaking.  That is my favorite whale... a girl has to have her favorite whale cut.  Wave boarders are from Life is a Beach.
