Cooking with the Cricut - Challenge #76 - Happy Birthday, Dr. Suess!

Hello everyone! I have a fun project to share with you all today as my first post as a COOKING WITH THE CRICUT designer !!!  I'm so excited and honored to be a part of this great team!!


As you may or may not know, March is Dr. Suess's birthday month so this week's challenge is to create something that will encourage others to read and/or celebrate reading! I chose to make a calendar page.

I used a digi stamp from Paper Crafting World's awesome site and the following Cricut cartridges:
Designer's Calendar
Paper Doll Dress Up
George & Basic Shapes
Hello Kitty Greetings

Here are a few close-ups:



Thanks for stopping by today and remember to head on over to Cooking with the Cricut to play along in this week's challenge and link up your project!!

Hello everyone and welcome to the "Be My Valentine" blog hop!! This is the first blog hop that I have had the opportunity to participate in and I've had so much fun!   If you arrived here from  Macy Bella Designs  then you're on the right track. If not or if you have missed a few blogs along the way, be sure to go to the beginning at  Creations With Kathryn  so you can see all of the great Valentine projects today!!

I made a box to put a set of Valentine's cards in. I used a 12x12 piece of double-sided cardstock from K and Co. The cards are made with Kraft paper and are a 4x4 size. I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square.

Think Spring Blog Hop

                                Welcome to the THINK SPRING BLOG HOP!!  You should have arrived here from the amazingly talented  Crafty Baskets  !  If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to go back to the beginning at  Creations With Kathryn  . She is our wonderful host for this hop!  On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX.  What is more telling of Spring than flowers?!   I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack. (I think this stack was from last year or maybe even the year before! :-) I'm just finally using it! )  The paper flowers throughout are from the 3 Birds Pretty Petals collection.  Read to the end of this post to find the link for the next blog to hop to and for my blog candy! This is a pic of an open page. Now for my blog candy!!  Just leave me a comment on this post with a way to contact you -
