2010-07-20T21:41:00.001-05:00

So I came up with a layout.

Cartridges Used: George and Basic Shapes--- Photo Mats and Hearts (Hearst were welded using the Design Studio), and Create a Critter--- Title, Flowers, and Love Bug

1/2 inch strips of black paper was cut with my cricut trimmer.

Emma at My Creative Time is having a challenge: Do any project you would like by using New Arrival or any older cartridges. The theme for this challenge: Baby
So this is what I came up with!!!

Cartridges used: George and Basic Shapes and Stretch Your Imagination.
I have New Arrival but i did not have the right type of paper for what i wanted to do... and I live about 2 and a half hours away from any craft store!!!

I have 12 spots for pictures... from the baby's first month until his/her 11th Month... I cut 1 inch flowers. I then created the labels on Microsoft Office Word 2007.

Pink Designer Team Submission

2010-07-02T13:00:00.005-05:00

This is the picture I submitted for the Pink Designer Team. Unfortunately, I was not chosen... :( I think it had something to do with me using Sure Cuts a Lot to cut turtle instead of the Cricut.... So Sad.

Anyway, I am pretty proud of it, especially when this is the third card I've ever made!!!

Cartridges Used: George & Basic Shapes

I made the shape of the card by welding two squares and a small rectangle in Cricut Design Studio.

Let me know what you think about it!!!

Happy Birthday Card

I made this card for my brother in law.... I used the Design studio to create card, scalloped border, rectangles and happy birthday phrase. Cartridges used: George & Basic Shapes, New Arrival, & A Child's Year

For the turtle, I used Sure Cuts A Lot. I obtained the free SVG file from Beth at mycricutscrapbooking.com I used inks and a black marker to color it.

Love card

2010-06-11T23:47:00.001-05:00

Hi guys!!!

I made this card for my hubby and gave it to him on our 3rd anniversary. My inspiration came from an issue of scrapbooks etc.... of course i had to make it my own, so i made some changes....

I made the zebra pattern by cutting (by hand) black cricut vinyl. I also cut by hand the hear out of pink cardstock. Finished the card by cutting some ribbon and adding some old stickers I had

My first baby scrapbook!

2010-06-06T14:02:00.002-05:00

I made this scrapbook for my friend Emily a few months ago. Everything was made with the cricut except for the scallop circles on the welcome home pages (I made those by hand) and a rub on the Its a Girl page.

On the Year of Firsts page, you can insert a picture in the pink area. It also has tags to journal those first moments.

My very first Post!!!!

2010-06-01T19:03:00.000-05:00
