My Night Before Christmas Mini Album

I have been working on this for a while and I am happy how it turned out AND that it is done and waiting pictures.  I used the folded pocket pages from Kathy's (http://paperphenomenon.blogspot.com) Domestic Goddess Album.  She has a lot of punches but I do not so I used my Gypsy to make some Holly leaves for a faux punch look.  I also used a corner punch from Martha Stewart with my Fiskars straight line punch.

Sleepy Mouse, this is a flap page



For these pockets, I mixed two brands of punches to punch around the corner



Tags tuck behind the tree

My  Sweet doggie with this yummy dreams



These pages have a plastic disc attached with a brad  behind their beds (so the goodies can dance in their heads)



Santa is getting close!

Merry Christmas to All!

Birthday Card for My Brother

Here is my brother's birthday card this year.  He likes to restore cars and has a new project that looks like this beauty to me.  The car is Hudson from the Cars cartridge and I used my gypsy to remove the eye-balls on the car.  That sounds like it hurt!

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.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #41

A card of Encouragement was the theme for this Peachy Keen Stamps' Challenge.  I have a few sets of Peachy Keen Stamps and they are wonderful and work with your cricut cuts nicely.  The cat face is from PK-754 Critter Faces Sect A Medium.  This happy cat from Create A Critter is thrilled with his pin wheel.  Those pinwheels were a major score when I was a kid. So, I thought it was perfect for this kitty to hold and tell someone they are perr*fect. 

Cricut Cirlcle Weekly Challenge #9, Black Friday

This weeks challenge was to re-use something, at least 2 cuts, and use the color black.  I picked up this pine cone from my front yard.  (at times I think it is raining pine cones in my yard)  I put a little house and trees cut from Winter Woodland on a base of fabric.  I covered the house and trees with glitter.  Holly leaves are from Jubilee.  The little snowman has a BLACK hat and I made the snowman with beads and a circle cut for the hat brim.

Poodle Gift Bag

I made this gift bag with my Tags, Bags, and More Cricut Cartridge.  I love this cut because it works with directional paper, you wouldn't want your poodles to be upside down.  This is an entry for the Cricut Circle magazine challenge for December.  The paper and stamp are from Imaginisce Perfectly Posh line.  I found a poodle on Once Upon a Princess and tried to match the cut with the cute poodles on the paper.  I added pom poms and stickles to the poodle. 

Christmas Recipe Book

This is my version of Kathy's (paperphenomenon.blogspot.com) recipe album.  I an not much of a cook so I made mine for Christmas cookies.  I am so happy how this turned out... it just makes me smile when I look at it.
