Library Pocket Mini album

This is my latest creation for the Cricut Mini Albums website.  I had a kit for this kind of album but I wrote down the dimensions and recreated my own using my Cricut!! In this album, I recorded all of the birthdays in our family so I can refer to it when I'm ready to make and send my cards!  I used Designer's Calendar for the months and the icons hanging off of the twine on each card. The icons were printed and cut on my Imagine using the Kate's Kitchen Imagine cartridge with the Designer's Calendar cartridge. I used the cricut markers on the months first, then cut them out. I really like the look this gives.  The papers used were from the K and Co. stack "Cut 'n Paste".  I used some stamps from My Pink Stamper Winter Punnies and Cornish Heritage Farms On the Desk set.  The library cards and pockets are made with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and my Gypsy. I resized the pockets so they would better resemble a library pocket.  I can add to the cards each month as new family members are added!










Thanks for stopping by today and as always, if you have any questions or you just like what you see, feel free to leave me a comment!

I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the front of the ca

Think Spring Blog Hop

She is our wonderful host for this hop!  On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX.  What is more telling of Spring than flowers?!   I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack. (I think this stack was from last year or maybe even the year before! :-) I'm just finally using it! )  The paper flowers throughout are from the 3 Birds Pretty Petals collection.  Read to the end of this post to find the link for the next blog to hop to and for my blog candy! This is a pic of an open page. Now for my blog candy!!  Just leave me a comment on this post with a way to contact you -

My Pink Stamper Challenge

My Pink Stamper has posted a challenge today to any and all who would like a shot at being on her design team! My project needed to use a favorite Cricut cartridge and the colors: pink, green and brown and another color of my choice. I used my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge and my Imagine with the Mr. Frosty pattern cartridge and Snapshot Everyday cartridges. I am going to frame this project so I can always look at my sweet little, brand-new grandson!! The mat behind this adorable picture was printed and cut on my Imagine from the standard shapes on the Imagine and the Mr. Frosty cartridge. I really like this snowflake pattern! This is a close-up of the tree and layers from page 60 of my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons Cricut cartridge and was cut at 3.5"H. I used Star Dust Stickles to make the "snow" on the tree look like it was glistening! Notice the "wood" paper for the tree trunk - this is a texture pattern on the Snapshot Everyday Imagine
