Hello everyone!! This is the mini that I made as my first project on the design team of  Cricut Mini Albums  !! I made a 4x4 book with my bind-it-all. I love using black pages and clear covers! The cricut cuts I used are: leaves on both sides of front cover and pumpkin on both sides of back cover from Gypsy Wanderings - fence from Everyday Paper Dolls - football corner from Sports Mania - garden sign from Walk in My Garden. I also used some little Creative Memories punches and stickers and some Hobby Lobby cardstock stickers.  I also had fun using my gel pens to do some dotting and stitching - one of my latest "obsessions"!! Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to do something creative!!

Ok, it's not any big deal, but here it is!! I was anxious to try out my new toy so I picked a quick little thing to do.  I chose this little onesie because my first grandchild, (a boy), is due this December! Thanks for looking! Isn't it cute??!! I used pop dots to pop up the layers. This is what my white paper looked like after I print and cut. Very cool!!

Hello everyone!! It's finally my turn to share my project on the Tuesday Treats blog! We are featuring the Life is a beach cartridge over there this month so I designed a die-cut page using the starfish border on page 64. In this video you will see how to weld 4 of these border shapes and some other single shapes to form a beautiful die-cut page. Since this is only my second video ever, I hope that anyone who views it will give me grace for my imperfections! :-) My cursor size was set at 3.24"H for everything throughout this project. The "surf's up" icon is on page 74. Please feel free to leave me a comment if you have any questions or to let me know if this video helped you in any way! I will try to have the gypsy file for this project posted here in the next day or two. Thanks so much for stopping by!!

I've been using my Create a Critter cartridge this week to make some woodland critters for my daughter's baby shower decorations. I love how they turned out!! They were all cut at 3.24"H. I couldn't help myself - I had to do stitching on them so they would look complete!  :-) This is the only critter from another cartridge - Disney, Happily Ever After I'll post some pics of the completed decorations as soon as I can! Thanks for stopping by!!

I remember exactly where I was on this fateful day - pretty sure that everyone does! I made this card to remember all those who have served and are serving our country in such noble ways! We must never forget the sacrifices made so that we can "Let freedom ring" ! All the cricut cuts for this card are from Stand and Salute, page 30. The bell and shadow are cut at 3.12"H. "let freedom ring" and shadow are cut at 2.30"H. This card is 5x6.5. Thanks for looking and remember to never forget!

Hello everyone! I want to share my latest creation that I made using the August Kit from Club Ruby! For those of you who may not know, Club Ruby is a fantastic community of crafters who share ideas and projects with each other!  To see exactly what I'm talking about, check it out  HERE!  Now, back to this project.  To make the cover: Cut one 5"x12" piece of double-sided scrapbook paper, (I used Kraft paper); score and fold at 1.25" and 7" from narrow end.  To create accordion: Cut two 4.75"x 11" of cardstock ; score and fold one of the strips at 1" and 6" from narrow end.  Adhere 1" section of one cardstock strip to the back of the other one that is scored and folded at .50" and 6.50" creating one long accordion.  Fold .50" section at end of accordion back onto itself and tuck inside 1" section of cover.
