CASE-ing the Catty # 14- Color Challenge

12:00 AM 1 Comments


This week at CASE-ing the Catty we are doing a color challenge using the above colors. These colors are inspired by the Santa and Co suite. I love the colors for Christmas. 


For my card this week, I was inspired both by the Watercolor Winter Simply Created kit which I used with a piece of the fun DSP from Santa  & Co. I also used the stamp set Endless wishes for my greeting. These three made some fun cards to make. 

Here are two others I was inspired to make as well. 





Just love these all together and they will make my cards so much more sparkle for the holidays!

Also we will be back after the holidays with more fun! We want to enjoy the fun of the seasons with our families. 

Thanks for stopping by!

My Cricut Craft Room- Clouds

12:00 AM 0 Comments


Thanks for joining me at My Cricut Craft Room and today's theme is Clouds!!!

I was unsure how I would do clouds for this theme but I came up with this fun scrapbook page for my daughter and my mother in law.



I used my own file for Hello specifically I imported into CDS SU's hello from one of thier digital sets made for ecutters.

Sunshine was from the April Showers Cart and I used the write feature for the Explore.

The rectangles are your basic freebie from CDS and I sized to fit the picture and layered!




The clouds are from the Crocs Rule cart. I just cut out the layers using different types of DSP from SU. Love how they look! 

I love how simple but adorable the page turned out


Thanks for stopping by!

Mug Swap Fall 2014

12:00 AM 0 Comments





My friend Jessica from Organized  Design  told me about this great thing called a mug swap sponsored by  Meg from Megoonthego and Darby from Life with the Hawleys.  I thought what a fun idea to do and well of course I signed up right away. I love mugs and might have a slight mug problem to begin with!

So I got paired with Chelsea from Red Velvet Rooster  (make sure to check out her blog).  


So I went to work and ventured into Marchall's/Homegoods to see what they had because I know they always have a ton of fun mugs. 

Chelsea mentioned she liked navy and I found this fun mug there. 


It seemed to fit her personality between what she told me and her blog. So I am sending it off to her. 

In return Chelsea is sending me one as well so here is what she sent me.


Here is the adorable owl she sent me!





Thanks for stopping by!

My Cricut Craft Room- Sewing

12:00 AM 1 Comments


So today on MCCR, I am doing something outside of the box. The theme for today is Sewing and I thought what could I do. I love to sew a bunch and well I decided to make a quilt. I wanted to showcase how you can make templates using the Cricut instead of buying those expensive ones from the quilt store. 

I went in and used a basic hexagon shape from the My Quiet Book Cart.  It is pretty big like nearly ten inches across. I used some cardboard I had on hand to cut it out using the poster board setting. 

So here is my pile of fat quarters I used from a stash of fabric I have had for ever. I was able to cut at least two hexagons using the template. 

Once it was all together, it had the sticking out edges so I just trimmed them. 

Here is the quilt top. It is lap size and I need to quilt and bind it. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Case-ing the Catty # 13- Christmas Cards

12:00 AM 0 Comments
It is about two months till Christmas time and of course if you are a paper crafter, you have been thinking about what kind of card you are going to make to send out. 

This week's challenge over at CASE-ing the Catty is taking inspiration from the mini catalog to make Christmas Cards. 

I was inspired by the card on page 16 of the Holiday catalog and just love the Holiday Home set which is also in Digital form. I used it for both Halloween and Christmas cards. 

I also love to use MDS when I make my Xmas cards which gets me to blend both my traditional photo card of the kids as well as some of the fun stamps that SU has to offer. 



This was last year's photo- I need to take the updated one. 


Here is the back of the card. 


Here is this year's Halloween version as well. 


I just love how I can use MDS to make fun cards that can be printed out. I have done it the last few years and like it way better than the stock that many places has to offer. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Guest Blogger on Pam Cuts- Explore Review

12:00 AM 0 Comments


Thanks for coming over from Pam Cuts and my Explore Review. I hope you enjoyed my review over there. I have to say I just love my Cricut Explore and there are so many uses with it. This week, I have used it a ton for the upcoming school dance that I planned for PTA. The kids are super excited about that!


I had so much fun making this fun charger countdown plate using my Cricut. I wanted to tell you all more about how I made it. 

I used a charger I purchased from the craft store (they are usually like 2 bucks this time of year)
I had in my stash already chalkboard contact paper which I cut to about to fit inside the center part of the charger. I suggest measuring it and than making you circle to cut about a 1/4 inch smaller.  

I than used the basic Cricut Craft room font to cut out the letters in bright orange vinyl. 

Finally I had in my stash some adorable ribbon front he dollar store which I tied in a big bow and hot glued on to the plate. 

So isn't this a fun way to countdown to the holidays and super easy!

I am working on one for Thanksgiving and of course most likely one will be made for Christmas. These are super easy and quick to make for a present.

Thanks for stopping by!
