100 Cartridge Blog Hop with My Cricut Craft Room

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop Day ONE

You should have started at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/ if not please start at the beginning

If you came from Miranda's Blog then  you are right on track!!!

I have made a few projects for you today!!

Here is my First Project. On this layout I used  Imagine Cartridge Santa's Village and Dec 25th

 Santa in the sleigh is from Santa's village and was cut at 3 inches. The reindeer is from the same cartridge and was cut at 1.50 inches. The Merry Christmas cut was done at 1.25 and is from the Dec 25th Cartridge.

The gold sparkle I added using gold Stickles.

Here is my 2 nd project and on this one I used Santa's Village and Rock Princess

 I started this one by embossing the white card stock with a snow flake Cuttle Bug Folder and tying on the gold ribbon before I attached it to the Red 1/2 fold card. Santa is cut at 3 inches and the cut is from the Imagine Cartridge Santa's Village. The guitar is a cut from Rock Princess and was cut at 2.50 inches. The Jingle bell rock was cut at .50 and is the Heart lettering option on Rock Princess. The cut that the letters are on is also from Rock Princess. When I attached Mr Claus I used a wobbler so that every time he is moved he dances. I wish I could show that here but can't so you will just have to picture him Rocking out :)

Here is my last project.
On this one I used Teddy Bear Parade, Imagine Cartridge Santa's Village, and Imagine cartridge
Word of Mouth

The Believe in the magic tag is from Word of Mouth and is cut at 1.50 inches.
The Christmas Tree is from Santa's Village and is cut at 3.00 inches. The cute teddy bear is from
 Teddy Bear Parade. The images on this cartridge are so cute and there is several for holidays. I chose to use the reindeer.I used every layer feature on this little guy and he is cut at 2.50 inches
The card base is a standard White card stock then I added the snowflake paper and the big bold red and white bow.  I use Craftroom to design all of my projects. After the latest update it has worked so well with my Imagine I love it. Most of my projects are made using my Imagine machine I love being able to design in craftroom and use the colors and patterns available on the Imagine cartridges.  From now on I will take a pic of the craftroom screen so you can see all of the layers laid out. Well that is all I have for you today!! Your next stop should be Lisa's Blog

Would you ever guess Wednesday with my Cricut Craftroom

The challenge this Wednesday was to use a gel pen holder and gel pens on our design.

I love using the cricut gel pens and holder in my E2 to write out little sayings for both the inside and outside of the card. On this card I used Alphalious with the bold feature to do the lettering. I did them at .25 and used the feature to have it go over them twice. Since you are dealing with a pen it is always a good idea to go over it more than once.

The stars are a cut from Rock Princess and I did that cut at 1.75.

Twinkle Twinkle little star is a bed time ritual for my Grand daughters. They sing it to the stars before they go to bed. My oldest Grand daughter that is almost 4 sang it to me on the phone because she said the sun was tired so the stars came out and it was night night time. It was so sweet and it touched a place in my heart. Every time I see the stars it will remind me of that sweet little girl singing to me on the phone. So here is a picture of my super simple project but it has special meaning to me.

Now be sure to go back to My Cricut Craft Room to see all of the great projects from my awesome design team sisters!!!
