And now for my projects....

I decided to make some back to school bookmarks for my 5 grandkids.
Today I am sharing the 2 bookmarks I made for my 2 grandsons.

For this first one I used All Star Sports.
In the past, a few of my teammates have creating
backgrounds using multiple stamps, so I though
I would give it a try.  The soccer ball is from Miss Kate's Cuttable's
Papers are from Doodlebug

For this last one, I used Gotta Wear Shades

I just love these adorable bears!!  I used

the free SVG files to cut out the bear

and the background for the sentiment.

I added some color to my bear using chalk

and even gave him a little bit of a sunburn!!

Papers used on this one are from Echo Park

I tried to make these all super simple and

not bulky.  It was really hard for me to resist

using foam dots to pop up the images!!

Festive Fridays - Gingerbread

Hello and welcome to

Festive Fridays with

My Cricut Craft Room.

Today we were asked to use

a Gingerbread!!

I wanted to do something a little

different so I made a tag using the

Gingerbread Snowflake from

When It's Cold Outside.

I really like the way it came out!!

The actual tag was cut using

My Creative Times Tag Die.

The papers are from

Echo Parks Vintage Christmas Pad.

I cut the snowflake at 3" from glitter paper.

The base is Coordinations Glimmer Cardsctock.

I added some xmas red and

cinnamon stickles.

I also added a some

pearl bling from Recollections.

The label that I stamped the sentiment

onto is the curly label die from

My Creative Time.

The Sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's

Christmas Wishes stamp set.

I added a little bit of

designer trim from Webster's Pages.

I also sprayed the entire

tag with Walnut Gold

Glimmer Mist.  I also inked

it up with Distress Ink.

I will be entering this project

in the following challenges:

FCCB - Let it Snow

BBTB2 - Make a Gift Bag or Tag

I hope you enjoyed my project today,

please make sure you check out the

other Gingerbread project that

my DT sister Jaime made over

Letter of the Day - Letter P

 

 

 

Hello and Happy Monday!!!

Today at My Cricut Craft Room

it is Letter of the Day,

and this week it is the Letter P.

We can use a cartridge or an image

that begins with the Letter P.

 

I made a christmas card using

Pooh and Friends.

I have have this cart for along time

and this is the first time I have used it!!

 

 

I used the cute little Pooh Head from page 18 of the handbook

cut at 2.5".  The Santa Hat is from page 60 at 1.40".

All the paper I used is from Echo Park Very Merry Christmas

Paper Pack, which I purchased from

Erica's Store.

I cut the card base at 9" x 4 1/2",

so I ended up with a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"

square card.  The second brown layer

is a Spellbinders Label 18.

The green layer is Spellbinders

Lacey Circles.  Each layer is

popped up with foam squares,

Pooh is mounted on an Action Wobble.

 

 

 

I cover the white trim on the hat with

Ranger's Snowflake Embossing Tinsel

which I also got from Erica.

 

The sentiment stickers were from the same

Echo Park Paper Pack.

I added some crinkle ribbon from

My Craft Spot in Cranberry

and Vintage Pine.

I also inked all the layers

with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

Theme Day Thursday - ABC Carts

Hello and welcome to Theme Day Thursday with

My Cricut Craft Room. 

Today we were asked to use one of the ABC carts. 

Kate's ABC's, Nate's ABC's or Noah's ABC's.

I used Kate's ABC's and Animal Kingdom.

Here is a sneak peak:

The word Baby and the banner pieces

 were cut with Kate's ABC's.

I added some liquid pearls to the

word Baby and some Glossy Accents to the

letters in the banner. I kind of messed up because

I was in a hurry.  I tried using my heat gun to dry

the liquid pearls, and they exploded!!! 

So do not try this at home...LOL

 I made this card for one of the girl's at work.

We had her baby shower yesterday and the theme

in her babies room is monkey's!!

She loved the card!!

This cute monkey head is from Animal Kingdom.

She is mounted on an action wobble.

I stamped the eyes with Peachy Keen's

Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed stamp set.

The adorable crochet flower was from

Tatiana Belova's Etsy Shop.

She hand crochets these herself!!

I added a piece of lace and inked all the edges.

The adorable pattern paper was a gift from

our wonderful leader Erica!!

It is from Echo Park "Bundle of Joy".

Hope you liked my card as

much as the recipient did!!

Please stop by My Cricut Craft Room

 to see what the rest of the design team created today!!
