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??                       ...

Our son, who is 14, will be going to church youth camp next week and I thought it would be fun to make him an autograph book to take with him for old and new friends to sign and write a little message in. Actually, he doesn't think he will use it but I'm going to tuck it into his bag anyway and see what happens! LOL!                                                                                          Here is the finished book: Now...

Hi everybody! Hope you're all having a great day! It's sunny and warm here in Branson, MO, as I sit and type this! We have been traveling together as a family because my husband's job takes him all over the place! I've been able to take some craft stuff with me - (but not nearly enough!) :-) Since I have limited supplies with me, I have to be even more resourceful in making projects!  I brought several  Club Ruby  kits with me to make things easier.  When papers and embellishments are coordinated like they are in these awesome kits, projects come together like a breeze! I am a guest designer over at Sheila's blog:  She's a Sassy Lady  today so this project is featured there too! So many great tutorials over there so check it out if you haven't already! I'm also using this project as my entry in the Cricut Circle Blogaversary challenge. This is the sketch we had to work from so I modified it for my mini album cover. Today's project was inspired b...
