Hi, everyone! Today I am sharing a little Thursday inspiration with you and everyone over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY !  I am always making centerpieces as gifts for people. I like to think of them more as paper bouquets! :-)  I made this one for a co-worker and she was amazed that I made it! (I just didn't tell her how easy it really was!) :-)  I used several different cartridges like Sweet Treats, Birthday Bash, Birthday Cakes and Celebrate. I simply cut my images out at the size I thought would look best and attached them to wood skewers and stuck them in a foam block inside a mason jar.  I used tissue paper to hide the foam block! So easy! Thanks for stopping by today!!

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 and welcome to Day 5 of the 25 Days of Christmas over at  PAPER CRAFTING WORLD ! You really must head over there because there is so many wonderful and festive holiday projects being created each day!! Today's theme is all about baking and/or Gingerbread so I decided to make a Christmas Baking Checklist to keep track of what I need to make all of our wonderful Christmas goodies! I simply grabbed a clipboard that I had at home and added a few Cricut cuts and Voila'! :-) Christmas Baking Checklist - cut from Birthday Cakes cartridge Cookies - cut from the Gingerbread Seasonal cartridge I laminated a piece of green notebook paper with my Your Story so that I could use a dry erase marker on it to write my list. Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to stop over at  PAPER CRAFTING WORLD  so that you can take advantage of the new freebie digis available everyday!

My husband's nephew's daughter recently turned 1 so I am sending this mini for them to put some 1st Birthday pics in!  This album is also featured over at  Cricut Mini Albums  .  I used the file folder album from Fabulous Finds and cut it at 6.18"H. That seems to be my "go-to" cartridge when I want to make a "from-scratch" mini! I also used the Sweet Treats, Robotz, Storybook and Birthday Cake cartridges in this project.  The printed cardstock is from the K and Company stack called Confetti. (Love this stack!) If anyone has any specific questions about cuts or sizes or whatever, feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you.

This mini album has to be a record for me for the most cricut cuts in one project - 28!! That doesn't even include the layer cuts and duplicates!! I found so many images that just had to be included in this mini!! Even with all these die cuts, it's not too much because it allows the real stars, (the recipes) to shine!! This album is also featured over at Cricut Mini Albums ! I used a 5x7 album that I put together with the bind-it-all. I used some 7 Gypsies cardstock stickers to embellish this album as well as the cricut cuts. I have a stamp set that I used for the words on the tabs. I am hoping to make this album into a kit that I will have for sale on my blog, so be watching for that announcement!!  Here are the cricut cartridges that I used:  From My Kitchen Gypsy Wanderings Birthday Cakes Thanksgiving seasonal Simply Charmed Winter Woodland Winter Frolic When It's Cold Outside I think I am going to attach a pocket to some pages in the back so that when I...
