Hello everyone! Today is another Cartridge Showcase over at CRAFT WITH CUTTERS ! Today I am showcasing the awesome Mini Books Project cartridge! There is so much wonderfulness on this cartridge! Mini Books are one of my favorite things to make so when this one came out, I just had to have it!!  You will see that on all 3 projects that I created, I used K and Co.'s double-sided paper. I love their papers for these kind of projects because it looks so much better than a plain/white side.  Here are pics of the 3 projects finished with details about each one following: PROJECT 1: EXPLODING BOX (YES! There is an exploding box cut on this cartridge!)  ---shown on page 11 of the handbook and assembly instructions are on page 17  ---cut at 3.6"  ---paper is K and Co.'s Life Journey Stack ------ isn't it great to be able to see both patterns on all of the papers??                       ...

My Pink Stamper  is having another design team call so I made this scrapbook page that can be used for a birthday, an eventful year or really just about any occasion that you want to celebrate!  We had to use the colors brown, green, turquoise and orange and one other color of our choice in our project for this submission. I threw some purple in here since it was already on the printed paper! :-)  I thought that these prints from K and Co.'s Confetti stack brought these colors together nicely! RECIPE: BANNER: from the MOTHER'S DAY cartridge cut at @ 2.18"H LETTERS ON THE BANNER: from the ALL MIXED UP cartridge cut at 2.18"H TITLE LETTERS: from the ALL MIXED UP cartridge cut at 1.47"H PAPER: K & Co. Confetti stack (just love this stack!!)

Yes, I know that Christmas is over but I've been out-of-state for over a week so I thought I would post these two projects that I made for gifts at Christmas. I made Holiday recipe albums for my Mother, sister-in-law, daughter and daughter-in-law using a K and Co. Christmas stack and my Your Story. They were quick and simple to make! The next project is simply a little open box that I made by scoring a 12x12 piece of double-sided cardstock to create a place to slip in gift cards! I also included a jar mix of my Sour Cream Coffee Cake with a recipe tag. Thanks for stopping by today and just FYI, I'll debut as a guest designer on  She's a Sassy Lady  tomorrow, March 10th!! I'm so excited!!

For our niece's 8th birthday, I made her a princess minibook!  It was so much fun! I used a chipboard book that I got at Michael's for $1!  I used 4 cricut cartridges: Once Upon a Princess, Sweet Treats, Paisley and Going Places.  I will list the cartridge and then the cuts from that cartridge. ONCE UPON A PRINCESS:      - crown letters on front cover - 1.24"H      - pull up tag behind some of the pictures - 2.88"H      - butterfly - 1.82"H      - crown - 1"H SWEET TREATS:      - flower and center - 1.24"H      - cupcake and layers - 1.24"H      - number 8 on back cover - 4.30"H PAISLEY:      - shoes and layers - 1.24"H      - necklace - 1.71"H GOING PLACES:      - Smile - 1.24"H The papers that I used for covering the chipboard pages is from a big "The Best of K and Co." paper pad. Of course, I used some sti...

Hi everyone! This is the layout that I did this week for the Weddings with the Cricut blog, ( www.weddingswiththecricut.blogspot.com ) . The background paper is from a big K & Co. paper pad called the Best of K & Co. Too.  The metallic paper is from Walmart. The other papers are from my scrap stash!  All of the cuts are from the Graphically Speaking cricut cartridge. "Me & You" is on page 29 and is cut at 3.63"H. "Together" is also on page 29 and is cut using the jumbled feature at 1.95"H.  "Memories" is on page 31 and is cut at 1.95"H, also using the jumbled feature key. "Journey" is on page 48, is also 1.95"H and also cut with the jumbled feature. I added some flowers and some bling to perk things up a bit! All in all, this was a very simple layout that would work for a wedding, engagement or anniversary pic! It would also look great in a scrapbook page frame as a home decor piece! Thanks for looking and have ...
