If you didn't you will want to go back so you don't miss anything along the way!!!

I am very happy to be a part of this hop with all of these crafty ladies! Here is a picture of project my then I will tell you how I made this layout and all the cuts and cartridges used.

.

On this layout I used 5 cricut cartridges. I always use Cricut Craft Room as my main design tool so I am able to use any cartridge I own and design a project using multiple cartridges I love it! O.k the Gazebo is a 4 inch cut from Spring Cottage. This cartridge does not have feature choices so I used craft room and went into edit and erased all the cut lines so that all that was left was the outline which is the same as using the blackout feature. I then did the cut again in the standard way that is on the cartridge. Using the same cartridge I cut the tulip leaves and tulips at 1 inch. I used the Flower shoppe cartridge to cut the other 2 flowers at 1 inch and put little rhinestones in the center.. The stems on those flowers are from Walk in my Garden and were cut using the blackout feature at 1.25 inches. The Enjoy Life cut is from Graphically speaking and was cut at 1.25 inches. The clouds and the butterfly are from Craft Room Basics which is only available using the Online version of Cricut Craft Room. I used Doodle Twine for the body and antennas. The little Bear and net were cut using the Imagination Cartridge Enjoy the Seasons. I used 2 machines to do my cuts. I used the E2 and the Imagine machine. The sparkle that was added to the cuts is Star Dust Stickles. It is the first thing I grab to add a touch of bling or to highlight certain cuts. What makes it different than other stickles is that this one allows the original color of the cut to come through and it just adds a touch of sparkle. It is one of many little tricks that I have learned from Erica's UStreams and from her blog. I hope you enjoyed my layout and will come visit my little blog again!

Imagination Monday with My Cricut Craft Room

Welcome to another My Imagination Monday with My Cricut Craftroom.

On this project I used 3 Imagine Cartridges:

Word of Mouth

Notebook doodles

Lori's Garden

Now here is the picture of my project and then I will explain the cuts I used to make it:)

The fun Blue and white back round paper is from the Notebook Doodles Colors and Patterns cartridge.

I did a full 12x12 so I would have some of it to use on other projects.

The blue paper I embossed with a butterfly embossing folder then attached the Bobunny ribbon to it and ink the edges with red ink to tie it in with the card base. Then I attached it on top of the pattern paper. Next I used Word of Mouth and did the Live well cut at 3 inches I then used Stardust Stickles on the dots in the lettering and frame to give it a little sparkle. Then I did the Butterfly in flight cut from Lori's Garden at 3 inches and used stardust stickles on it also.
Just an FYI I tried to do the butter fly cut smaller but the flourish in it was so thin there was no way to remove it from the mat without tearing it. And for the first time I did not use Craft Room. It was alot harder without that designing tool and I won't do it again!! Be sure to go to

My Cricut Craft Room Card Tuesday

Welcome to another Card Creating Tuesday!!

This week I chose to do the Cheer up card option.

Here is a pic of my card then I will give you the info on how I made it!

The card is a standard half fold in chocolate brown. I then used a shimmer bazzill card stock and embossed it with a Cuttle Bug Folder. The fishing background paper is from Bo Bunny Camp alot. The beach chair is from the Life's a beach cricut cartridge and I cut it at 3 inches. The Umbrella is from the same cartridge and was cut at 3 inches also in 2 layers. The flip flops are also from Life's a Beach and were cut at 1.50 inches in 2 layers. The tropical drink is from Life's a Beach and the first layer was cut once. The layer cut was cut 3 times in order to get the colored straw and fruit. The table is from Kate's ABC's. In order to just get the table I had to use the layer feature. I hope you enjoyed my project and I love to hear from you!! Be sure to go back to My Cricut Craft Room to see all of the wonderful creations from my Design Team Sisters!

On my project I used the following cartridges:

Sophie, Word Of Mouth and Spring Chic.

I chose to make a cork board for my craft room. It started out looking like this.

Not pretty I know but it is a perfect 12x12 square and you can purchase them in many scrapbook stores. 1 side is sticky so I used that side to adhere my 12x12 base paper and it went on like a dream! Now here is a picture of my finished cork board.

I used the Imagine Cartridge Word of Mouth for the Live what you love Die cut. I cut it at 4 inches.

I used My George basics cartridge for the floral square and cut it at 6 inches. Then I used Sophie to make the grey doily and cut it at 6 inches also. In order to get the perfect Grey for the doily I used Cricut Imagine Spring Chic. I do my projects in Craft Room and would be lost with out this awesome free tool!!

My roses were cut from Sophie at 2 inches and I did them again using the blackout feature to give it a little pop of color.

I did the same thing with the leaves. It is amazing how a little layering can make a huge difference! 

I cut the Butterflies at 1.50 inches and did those in layers also. I then used Doodle Twine for the body and antennas.

I also embellished them with a little stickles. I also used Stardust Stickles over the lettering. A trick I learned from Erica is that the Stardust can be used over any color and it just enhances it and gives it a little sparkle. I love it!!

Theme Day Thursday with My Cricut Craft Room

Welcome to another Theme Day Thursday With My Cricut Craft Room!!

This week my project from the box of doom!! For those of you that don't know what that is it is Ugly paper that get thrown in our boxes from Erica when we miss a post or when she is being funny :)

Now on this project I used the following cartridges:

Flower Shoppe and Winter Woodland.

Here is my project then I will tell you how I made it and covered up some of the ugly:)

Now to be honest I only felt that one piece of the set was ugly but it is amazing how just the right Cricut cut and a little Diamond stickles can hide ugly!! LOL

My flower is the Daisy Cut from Flower Shoppe. I did 3 inch and 2 inch cuts to give it fullness. Then I used my I top and made the brad from the same paper group. The Warm Winter Wishes cut is from Cricut Cartridge Winter Woodlands. I did the standard cut in Ugly paper then the shadow cut in pink. I did the cut at 3 inches.

After putting the words together I used Diamond Stickles to

shhh don't tell Erica:) hide the ugly and it was ugly!

I used a pink ink pad to ink the edges of some of the flower petals to have it blend in a little better.

Thank-you for stopping in and I love comments:)

Theme Day Thursday with My Cricut Craft Room

Welcome to another Theme Day Thursday with My Cricut Craft Room. This week I chose the Any Kids Cartridge option. Here is the picture of my card then I will tell you how I did it!

On this card for one of my amazing Grand daughters I used the Once Upon A Princess Cartridge and Berries and Cream.

I did my project in Cricut Craft Room and used my imagine machine so I was able to design it and change the colors to what I wanted then cut it all at once.

The Teapot was cut at 3 inches in the standard cut and using the shadow option as well as layers. I then added stickles glitter glue to give it a little sparkle. The Tea Cup was cut at 2 inches in layers and in the shadow. I then used a cute face stamp to make the cute little face. I used Stickles glitter glue on this one also.

The butterflies were cut at 1 inch and I used the berries and cream cartridge for the print and solid colors on both butterflies. I used doodle twine for the center. A trick I learned from another crafter on facebook. It gives it a little extra cuteness :) I then added stickles to the little butterflies also.

I hope you enjoyed my project!! To see more projects like this one please go back to My Cricut Craft Room
