Special Sunday Post at Exploring Cricut

Today I am doing a Sunday post at Exploring Cricut  I made this cute little treat container by recycling an old Prima flower tin. I keep anything that I think I might be able to use in my crafting and this came in handy. I had some scrap Halloween papers in my stash and used it.  I used the cartridges Celebrate with Flourish , Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art, and Mini Monograms.  I used some pieces of ribbon that I keep in a jar.  Small pieces are great for this project.  Below are the measurement and cuts. Be sure to stop by the blog and meet our new design team members.  New challenge starts on Monday!

Celebrate with Flourish-witch cut at 3.5 inches
Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art-trick or treat cut at 1.5 inches
Mini Monograms-scallop circle cut at 3.75 inches

First Date Layouts

Today I am sharing a two page layout for my granddaughter Peyton's 2010 scrapbook. I am almost finished with hers, I have Mary-Kate's completed and then I will finish my grandson Cameron's next. I will then be ready to work on 2011!! As you see, I am way behind, but will not run out of anything to do! I used the cartridges Mini Monograms, Cricut Essentials, and Close to my Heart Art Philosophy. I used the pattern papers from Close to My Heart Stella collection and their cardstock too. Below the pictures are the cut measurements. This is a friend of Peyton's and he took her a ride in his Harley Davidson truck in her yard for her first date. He even stoled a little kiss too!

Mini Monograms- Cut the scallop on first page at 11 inches

Art Philosophy- Cut banners at bottom of 1st page at 2 inches and mounted them on the chipboard pieces that came with the cartridge. I also inked the edges with brown.

Cut the title at 1.5 inches, inked edges and ran through Hobby Lobby folder wood grain. I also coated them with Paper Glaze to give them some shine.

Cricut Essentials- Cut buttons on 2nd page at 1.75 inches and tied ribbons and popped up
