Java Jen Creations

So, I have thoroughly enjoyed creating decorations for my grandsons' baby showers - all 4 of them! But now we have added a granddaughter to our family and I am thrilled to make some girly decorations!!! Today it's my turn to share over at  SHE'S A SASSY LADY  so I just had to share my excitement there too! Be sure to check out Sheila's blog for awesome, daily inspiration!!  I decided to make a big centerpiece in a basket. Here is what I came up with: Here are some close-ups: I got all the various cuts from Cricut Cartridges. I can't seem to remember them all but I know I used Creative Memories Tiny Treasures, Cricut Lite Sugar and Spice, Baby Steps, Cricut Lite Cupcakes and Sweet Treats. There are so many great images to choose from that I just had to pick a bunch!! I also wrote on a chalkboard sign:  I also made a little snowflake banner that can be hung up in her room! I attached the snowflakes to the dowel...

Well it's another Tag and ATC day over at  MY PAPERCRAFTING WORLD  and this week is all about PINK, my favorite color! I made this ATC as a mini description of me. :-) I used the pink ribbon cuttlebug die.  In my shadow box, I used several cartridges - BABY STEPS, CRICUT EVERYDAY, FLORALS EMBELLISHED and BIRTHDAY CAKES. Here is how I incorporated it into my project: Some close-ups: Thanks for stopping by today and, as always, you can stop by at  MY PAPERCRAFTING WORLD  to see lots of other pink tags and ATC's!

Hello everyone!! Hope you're all having a fantastic day! We are finally getting some rain here so maybe our grass will green up! Today I have a project featured over at  She's a Sassy Lady  ! If you have never been to her blog, you must check it out! There is a new, awesome project and tutorial everyday!! I created this layout using my Cricut Imagine, the Imagine More cartridge for the colors of my layers and the Baby Steps cartridge for the images.  A really wonderful feature about the Imagine is that I only need to put white paper on my mat and then choose the colors through my machine! So easy! This is a pic of the first cut showing the color I chose for this first layer and its position on the mat. The pic below is the first completed cut. The next few pics show the Imagine screens and the corresponding completed cuts. I took a picture of my Cutter Bee Tweezer bee tweezers because that is my go-to tool for adhering my die cut layers. These tweezers give me...

My daughter got me this 7 Gypsies tray for my birthday back in February and I finally got around to making a wall decor piece with it!

So full of ideas, networking and inspiration!   Here is my project: Following are some close-ups of the details: Cricut cartridges used are Florals Embellished, Cricut Everyday, Baby Steps, Quarter Note and Stand & Salute. Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!
