Wednesday Exploring Cricut Daily Project

Hi! I am filling in today for one of the other DT members at Exploring Cricut and my project is scrapbook pages of the Disney parade that my granddaughter Mary-Kate went to on her vacation in 2010. Does that tell you I am very behind in my scrapbooking, but am working hard on it. I used the cartridges Old West and Toy Story for these pages. Below the pictures are the directions for the cuts and materials.

New challenge at Exploring Cricut

Today we are starting a new challenge at Exploring Cricut. It is called "Food Frenzy" Create a card, layout, or papercraft using an item of food cut with the cricut. You can do any theme or colors, just let your imagination go wild. This week my granddaughter Peyton who is 2 1/2 years old came to stay with me one day and we had some bananas that need to be made into muffins. She loves banana muffins and she loves to help. She peeled the bananas, smashed them, (her terms) put them in the batter, taste the batter when nana went to get the pans, put in pan and bake. This is how she described to her Dad on how she baked muffins complete with hand gestures, but he was on the phone lol. Her favorite part was eating them when they were finished. For this project I used the cartridges Everyday Paper Dolls, Create a Critter, Preserves, and From My Kitchen. Below the picture are the measurements.

Something to share

This is a layout I created for the magazine "The Bug " which is no longer printed. I loved how it turned out and even though they did print it in the last digital issue, I wanted to share. This is a layout of my granddaughter Peyton's first time in the snow. Below the picture are the details and the many cartridges I used to make this fun page. It is hard to see but I used Close to My Heart Liquid Applique on the hat and mittens which made them appear to have fur.

Exploring Cricut Tuesday Project

Today I have the project at Exploring Cricut. I made something quick and simple, but I love it! I used the digital images from Happy St. Patrick's Day and cut out a pot of gold 5 inches and the rainbow and shamrock at 4 inches. I cut these from cardstick and used lots of stickles to make them shiny. The pot of gold coins was cut with glitter paper, but it was not shiny enough so I added stickles, but do not recommend doing it because they will peel off. I just used some removeable adhesive to cardstock so I can take it off my plate. The plate is from Taste of Home, but I bought it cheap on ebay!!! Just added ribbon and it is a great decoration.
