Smile... I used the Cricut Craft Room Software

I would like to learn more about the Cricut Craft Room Software and there is a blog, Cricut Craft Room Blog, that is focused on this tool.  They are having a Basket Challenge, basically weld any shape into a basket.  I used an old favorite Mini Monograms to make this basket.  This looks so easy but it is a learning curve.  I like how easy it is to weld and align shapes with this software. It is a long story BUT my lesson to share is "don't put images off your mat".  My machines where moving the 12 by 12 mat out because there was an image saved off the mat.  This would cause the Software to cut on my machine instead of the mat.

Smile!  I did it!

Hello Kitty Mini

This little mini album was made to capture the upcoming school photos for my daughter.  I cut the bags and tags from Platin Schoolbook cricut cartridge, cutting off the handles of the inner bags.  The cover bags were made sturdy by cutting some lightweight chipboard and gluing inside the pocket.  This is my entry for Cricut Circle Blog's Weekly Challenge #39, A-B-C, 1-2-3 Challenge. (A) pop of (B)right (C)olor as well as 1 of something, 2 of something...  These were hard rules from me but that is what a challenge is for, right?  So my "pop" of color is the robin's egg blue that pops on each page.  My 1-2-3: one Cuttlebug folder, only two cartridges, and three stickers.

Crafting with the Dog

Happy Saturday-  Here is a scrapbook page I made with my new Sophie Cricut cartridge and Nate's ABCs.  The circle doily is from Sophie and the cute doggy cut at 5 inches and is from Nate's ABCs.  I combined some Peachy Keen Face stamps to make the dog face.  This is my entry for the Peachy Keen LFIF Furry Friends Challenge.

I combined these stamps to make a face that works with my dog cut.

The Best Autograph

My girls, thanks to their uncle Steve, have season passes at Disneyland this year.  We visited Disneyland almost every week and the girls have been filling their autograph books.  Captain Hook has the best autograph so far, with Jessie coming in a close second.  I was so thrilled to use my Imagine for Captain Hooks face. 

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #58

Just follow the sketch at the Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge for a chance to win some darling elf stamps from their Christmas collection.  I cut an orange slice right out of the patterned paper and put a cute peachy keen face on the slice.  How easy is that?

Hooked on my Imagine

I am making a scrapbook page from a Disneyland trip but had to share my Captain Hook face with you.  Using Cricut Craft Room, I was able to print his face.  The faces of the Disney Characters have always been very hard for me to layer.  Captain Hook has tons of layers but if one were skilled in Cricut Craft Room you could print and cut the whole image. 

My BFF loves snails... NOT!

I am taking care of my BFF's house while she is on vacation.  I made this card to "welcome her home" because I am sure she can't wait to get back to her assault on the snails in her garden, ha, ha.   This project is showing some of my favorite things, Create a Critter cricut cartridge, my Cuttlebug embossing folders, inking, my Peachy Keen Face stamps, and most importantly making a custom project for my friends and family. This is the challenge for the Pinkalicious Blog Hop for August, show some of YOUR favorite crafting things.  Be sure to check it out and share your projects too-
