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 to my blog from Kathy Salido's Blog then you are right on track. I will provide today's full line up at the end of this post in case you get lost along the way!

On my first project I used  cricut cartridges: Love you a Latte, Kate's ABC's

I cut the Teapot at 3 inches and then left the setting at 3 inches so the other pieces would cut at the correct Dimensions. So the cups were cut at 3 inches also but using craft room I flipped 1 of the cups. I added hot cocoa stickles in dots around the cups and the tea pot. I also used it to make the tea bag string show up and the little tag at the end of the teabag. The Tray in the upper left corner was also cut at 3 inches and I did it in layers and used Hot Chocolate stickles to make the cute little saying stand out.

I used the cream and sugar cut to make the mat for the photo to be placed later on.I inked the edges in brown on the photo mat and around the whole layout to give it a vintage feel.. I also used a wide vintage lace as the table top to also add to the vintage look. I used Kat's ABC's to make the flower cuts and the swirl cut. I placed Liquid Pearls in the centers of all the flowers.

On this next project I used Cricut Cartridge Tis The Season and Mr Frosty

I once again Inked the edges of my Kraft Colored card stock to age it a little. Then I used a Blue card stock and embossed it with a Snow flake Embossing folder and inked the edges of it also. The Winter Wonderland saying was cut at 4 inches I then places a piece of textured shimmer paper on the bottom of the card to use as snow. The snowman and all his layers were cut at 4 inches because it will automatically cut the corresponding pieces at the right size to piece together. I did this project in craft room also and used the Cricut Imagine Cartridge Mr Frosty to color the mittens and scarf in a cute pink mitten print.I then used light pink Stickles glitter glue to out line the scarf and mittens. I used black liquid pearls to outline the snow man and his earmuffs and buttons. I don't know how I got by with out craft room to create my projects in. I love it and am lost when it is down! Well those are my projects for the October 100 Cartridge Blog Hop. I hope you enjoyed your little visit to my blog:)

Scrapbook Friday with My Cricut Craft Room

Welcome to Scrapbook Friday with My Cricut Craft Room

This week it was a back to school layout and we are still using pink in support of Breast Cancer awareness.

I used Kates ABC's and Nates ABC's to do this layout

The letter and number blocks are from Kate's ABC's and I cut them at 1.50 inches in the standard cut then I used the layer option to get the blackout blocks to go underneath. I then outlined them with Pink Flamingo Liquid Pearls. The robins egg blue is also a block cut. I just used the layer feature to get the solid block and cut it at 10.50 inches.

The cute little scissors, pencil and glue are cuts from Nate's ABC's 

they are also done using the layering features. I added Stardust stickles

to the scissor handles and the pencil to give it some bling.

The photo mats are 4x6 and I used a corner punch to makes slots for the

pictures to go in to. I have the perfect 2 pictures to go into this of my grand daughter going back to preschool after break.

Be sure to go back to

My Imagination Monday With My Cricut Craftroom

Welcome to My Imagination Monday with My Cricut Craft Room!

I chose to do a Magnetic Note Board for my craft room. I have had the magnet board sitting on a shelf mocking me for a couple of months so it was time to bite the bullet and show it who is boss. So first I will post the picture then tell you how I did it:)

The first thing I did was tear a piece of black magic paper to create the backround. I used an adhesive spray glue to spray the metal 12x12 sheet and carefully placed the paper on it and set it aside to dry. Then I pulled out my Word of Mouth  Imagination cartridge and found the large center cut that was perfect for what I wanted and the saying was fitting.  You will find the cut on page 23 of your booklet. I did the cut at 11 inches. I then used Stickles Glitter Glue and Liquid Pearls to give dimention and bling to the cut. You can purchase the Stickles here at Erica's Store as well as the cartridges I have used!! Then I set it aside to dry and cut my butterfly magnets at 2 inches from Lori's Garden but I did use Spring Chic to change the colors and patterns on the butterflies. I added Stickles glitter glue to the butterflies to dress them up a bit and set them aside to dry. While the butterflys dried I adhered the Being Creative cut to my base papers and gave it a protective coat of Modge Podge. After that dried I added the ribbon then placed it in a 12x12 scrapbooking frame but did not use the glass. Then I bent my butterflies to make them look like they were in flight and used a glue dot to adhere the butterflies to the magnets. Now I can look up at that magnet board and see:

Being Creative means not being afraid to fail

It is fitting and so true!
