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.

Theme Day Thursday with My Cricut Craft Room

Welcome to Theme Day Thursday!!

Today the challenge was to make a card for a girl. Well I only have 1 daughter and she has 2 daughters so this was a piece of cake for me!!

My oldest Grand daughter will be 4 this month and loves bling and Hello Kitty so she got both on this card. The cupcake card was made using The Cricut Cartridge Hello Kitty.

I know that Hello Kitty is a hard cartridge to find and if you 

can score 1 at a decent price grab it up. I used all the layering features to create the cupcake then added Stickles Glitter Glue to make the sprinkles on the cupcake. For the Hello Kitty on it I had a piece of paper with the image so I used my Extra large punch and Itop to punch out the pic. Now a little tip from Erica if you have a glue machine like creative station or any of them that will allow the image to run smoothly through it then I suggest you use it because it will make it so much easier to adhere it to the brad or button when you snap it together with the Itop so that it makes a flawless embellishment.

Well ladies that is what I have for you today!! Please be sure to go back to Cricut Craftroom to see the amazing work from my very talented Design Team Sisters!!

Welcome to Imagination Monday with My Cricut Craft Room!

Here is a pic of my project then I will tell you the size of each cut and the cartridges used!!

The believe in magic is a 4 inch cut from word of mouth. I did go in and change that back round on it to Pink for Cancer Awareness. I then out lined it in Brown Stickles Glitter glue.

The rest of the cuts are from Santa's Village. It is my favorite Christmas cartridge to date.

The tree is cut at 4 inches and I used ruby slipper glitter glue to give some of the cranberry strands dimension.

The Jack in the box was cut at 1.75 and I added some liquid pearls to the box.

The Teddy Bear is cut at 1.75 and I added stickles star dust to his green bow. The rocking horse was cut at 2 inches and I added ruby slipper stickles to the saddle. That cute little baby riding the horse was cut at 1.25 inches and I only added a little stardust stickles to her hat. She is such a cute little thing! Now to find the cartridges used  I will give you direct links to them in Erica's store.

Welcome to Octobers 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 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 Cricut Craft Room

Happy Halloweenie Blog Hop with Paper Patch Crafts

Welcome to your 1st stop on the Happy Halloweenie  Blog Hop with Paper Patch Crafts. 

I have 3 card to show you and 1 layout. All of the projects were made with Websters Pages Once Upon A Halloween paper and embellishment Line which is available for purchase now at

Paper Patch Crafts

So here are my projects :)

 This layout was super easy to do. I just layered the die cut paper onto the orange print. I then added 1 of the journaling cards to the center bottom of the layout. I then cut 2 pumpkins out using my Cricut then added the Prima fall leaves. I outlined the pumpkins with Stickles Glitter Glue in of course Pumpkin:) I then added the blooms, buttons and bling that Anne provided. I used Trendy Twine threaded through the buttons.

 On card 1 I used the front and back side of 1 piece of the Once Upon A Halloween Paper and a beautiful piece of lace trim from Paper Patch Crafts the cute little pennant is from the same line so is that adorable little owl. I then added the cute blooms that Anne provided and buttons as well. I used halloween Trendy Twine in place of ribbon. The bottom blooms I used Liquid Pearls for the center of the flowers.

 On card 2 I used the cute trick or treat bag paper and I cut out the paper with the wording from another sheet of the Once Upon A Halloween line then used the spider acetate overlay. Then I added the skeleton key embellishment.

This last card is a combo of 3 papers from the same paper line as the others. The Happy Haunting Sticker is also Websters pages. The pretty orange bloom and the web charm are all from Once Upon A Halloween. Now all of the Papers and embellishments are available for purchase right now at

Welcome everyone:) Today's project was to make something for Halloween using Pink in the design for

My Cricut Craft Room

So on this project I used Cricut Cartridge
A Frightful Affair which can be purchased here Erica's Store

That link will take you directly to the cartridge in her store and it is on SALE!!!!

Ok with that being said the instructions on how I did the cuts for this card are below the picture!

O.k I made this card for my grand daughters ages 1 and 3 so I did modify the witch cut.

In the original cut she is holding up a mouse so I removed it. I did not want to scare or upset my 3 year grand daughter who loves all living creatures. I wanted you to know that up front I put the little flower in it's place. O.k we will start with the Spider web which is on page 67 in your booklet. I did the blackout cut of the web first in the dark purple. Then I did the standard web cut and it was done at 3 inches.I used Stickles to add the sparkle to the web.  Next I did the Happy Halloween phrase and I cut it at 3 inches also and is on page 34 of your booklet. I cut it first using the shadow option then again in the standard cut and layered it. I then added Fire Fly Stickles on it to make it blend with the Purple Pink and Green theme that I have going on. You will find the witch on page38 of the booklet. She is cut at 4 inches. I did the shadow cut first in Black then cut it at the standard cut in white and then again in layers. I had to do it that way in order to add the flesh color with a copic marker then I cut the layers in pink and added Cotton Candy Stickles to bling it up. When that dried I added Fire Fly stickles to the brim of her hat, boots, and cauldron. I then used a tiny flower to put in her hand and some bling rhinestones for the bubbles because this witch is cooking up happy Halloween wishes:) I finished the card with a Bo Bunny double dot lime green bow. I purchased the ribbon from Erica's store. So that is my project in a nut shell! I hope you enjoyed it and leave me a comment!!!
