Hello everyone!! I'm here today to share a simple calendar page with you and all of my friends over at  CRAFT WITH CUTTERS  !  I'm revisiting this project to share it with my new followers - You may remember that I did it last year as one of my regular blog posts. If you have seen any of my previous posts, you probably know that I do a different calendar page each month to showcase on my fridge and then add it to my scrapbook in front of all the pics I took that month.  This month, I decided to show how you can make a calendar grid if you don't have the Designer's Calendar cartridge.  Here is my finished page: Let's break it down a bit.

Hello everyone!! I'm here today to share a simple calendar page with you and all of my friends over at SHE'S A SASSY LADY  .  (If you remember, I did a post over there just last week because I goofed and thought my Thursday was last week! It actually worked out best for Sheila that way so I offered to share another project this week!)  Thank you, Sheila for being so gracious and I'm so glad I could help! :-)   If you have seen any of my previous posts, you probably know that I do a different calendar page each month to showcase on my fridge and then add it to my scrapbook in front of all the pics I took that month.  This month, I decided to show how you can make a calendar grid if you don't have the Designer's Calendar cartridge.  Here is my finished page: Let's break it down a bit.

Hello everyone and welcome to another COOKING WITH CRICUT  Challenge Wednesday! This week we all created Father's Day gifts - no cards! I chose to make a little centerpiece using the Father's Day seasonal Cricut cartridge and the DCWV Guy Stack. To give you some perspective of the size of this centerpiece, the glass vase is about 4" tall.  I attached my die-cuts to wood skewers. This is a simple project, but one that can really add some pizazz to your Father's Day table! :-) Be sure to head over to  COOKING WITH CRICUT  to link up your own Father's Day project for a chance to win a great prize!! Thanks for stopping by today - now, go create something beautiful!!
