On this project I used:



Floral Embellished, Potpourri Basket, and Imagine cartridge Floral emporium.

I started by rounding the edges to give it a finished look and faux stitched around my base with a white gel pen. I then glued down my largest tag centering it as much as possible. I then attached the 2 smaller tags to use as the back drop for my flower and butterfly. I then put a small brad in to hold it together and used perfect Pearls to outline it and cover the brad. The butterfly is a cut from Potpourri Basket and I cut it at 1 and 1/2 inches. It is a clear cut using Graphix clear cut plastic. You will need to use the multi cut feature and cut it twice. I then used perfect pearls to outline the butterfly. The leaves are actually rain drop that I cut at 1 inch from the Potpourri Cartridge then used perfect pearls to outline them. The Best Wishes Sentiment is from the phrase feature on the Florals Embellished Cartridge and I did it in layers. I love color and normally use pretty bold colors and I love to bling projects up. Thank-you for joining us this weekend and good luck on Erica's drawing!! Next you will go to Cheries Blog and here is that link:

My Cricut Craft Rooms Baskets and Bunnies Card




Hi everyone! This is my first project as a design team member for My Cricut Craft Room!




For this 1/2 fold card I used Cricut Craftrooms Happy Easter and Create a Critter cartridge. I also used Ribbons and Rosettes to make the border.




I cut the bunny at 4 inches and used the layer features . I did the base layer in Black then the next layer in pink and the top layer in Grey. I then used the last layer feature to give her a pink tummy. I placed the yellow tulips behind the bunny to give more spring color. The tulips were cut at 4 and 5 inches. I used jell pens to give the blooms a little faux stitching. The basket I did in 2 layers and the cut size was 4 inches. The eggs were cut at 1 inch and I used acrylic dabber paint to color them. The sign was a cut from create a critter and the happy easter is from Cricut Craftrooms Happy Easter. The yellow border is a border cut from Ribbons and Rosettes and was cut at 8 inches.
Be sure to check out the rest of the great Bunnies and Baskets Cards that my fellow design team sisters have created!! Here is the link back to My Cricut Craft Room!!


Thank-you for stopping by!

My first board book using the Beautiful new prima Embellishments

My First attempt at a board book!!!


For this project I used a Kaiser Craft board book and painted it with Adirondack Paint dobbers.
Then I used Paper from Websters Pages and they are available here :http://stores.ebay.com/Paper-Patch-Crafts?_rdc=1 All of the embellishments and flowers are Prima and also are available at Paper Patch Crafts. So is all of the trim used and I believe it is all Webster's pages. This book was a challenge for me and I discovered that I have no patience for drying time. This line was a joy to work with and I love every flower and embellishment in it!!LOL Hope everyone likes it and has a wonderful crafty day!!!

Challenge Card for Erica's Craftroom

This is a card I just finished for a challenge at




I used the Easter 2010 cartridge for the cuts. I cut the lamb at 2.50 inches and did it in layers.


The bows are from the same cartridge but I used the bunny bows at .50 inches.


The Happy Easter Cut was done at 2 inches. The Foil Circle was a 4 inch circle cut and I embossed it with a cuttlebug Die. The foil is available at Erica's store and this stuff is awesome.


This one is actually a beautiful pastel Orange but would not show at it's true color no matter what I tried. Hop on over and check out the challenge!!

Spring Challenge at Paper Patch Crafts



Well it has been awhile since I posted and I am sorry about that. Here is my take on the spring challenge going on at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Paper-Patch-Crafts/184726517185






On this card I used my Imagine to cut the cupcale from the yummy cartridge . I did it in layers to give it depth. I cut the butterfly from the in my garden cartridge. The pretty yellow trim and the flowers are available in Annes store. You know me there has to be bling so I used stickles and one of the pink Embellishments from Annes store. Hope it makes you smile :)


Happy Crafting and for me off to the next challenge!!!!
