Summer in Paris Cartridge

Wow the craft store finally got it in! We had dinenr at the happy Panda next door and got ot go look before we ate to see if they had it yet. My DH offered to let me get the other limited edition cartridges but I wasn't very intersted in them. I can't wait to make the 3-d furniture!

so Design studio broke on my laptop?!?( 2nd time ) so I called provocraft on friday morning. They had me reinstall it completely and it worked??!! but meanwhile the lady asked me if I had registered my cartridges b/c if I didn't register them they couldn't help me if I had a problem. LOL I believed them and yesterday afternoon got out all my cartridges and started registering them. it took forever! but the good news is I found lots of rewards points I hadn't put on my account yet!!

Strawberry Card

I used the cricut to cut out the card from the hello kitty cartridge, the card stock was from my scraps, luminarte mica in oyster makes the card glimmer just a bit, the strawberry seeds are little ribbon triangles poking out, the curly part of the stem is ribbon I colored green with my green nile copic marker

I entered this card in the Hope Stamps Eternal cupcake challengehttp://hopestampseternal.blogspot.com/2010/02/cupcake-inspiration-challenge-48.html

Spring Card

Irritated with my card reader on my desktop, it won't read the new memory card so hopefully this will read on my laptop. Wohoo it worked!!

What you can't see in this card is the amount of sparkle there is!!

I used my new glitter atyou spicas to color Maisy and to highlight the flowers

I used afs paper,

words cricut - gypsy cartridge

ketto - maisy stamp

atyou spica

this flower is about 4 inches across made with sheer organza. I can't wait to go get some green tommarrow to make a leaf!

Birthday Card

This is a birthday card for my bestest friend, I know she will see this before I give it to her, but tough. It is green to match the Elf Sweat Soap that I gave her today.

I used paper from my stash
the cricut
ketto agnes
cuttlebug flower and birthday die
rhinestones
ribbon from pinkhedgehog
stickles
and one raindrop

I entered this card in the cupcake challenge at Hope Stamps Eternal. Funny how you see one thing and think one thing and when it comes together it isn't what you thought. lol

Disneyland Autograph Books

The girls and I set out last year before our Disneyland trip to come up with a book that we could use to get signatures that was easily expandable, but not too heavy to carry. We ended up getting simple journals from M's





I told the girls I would cut out anything they wanted with the cricut but they had to assemble and decorate how they wanted it to be. One of the challenges is you don't know the direction of the picture you might end up with so it is hard to pre-do too much of the pages, we ended up using sticky notes to make flags and once we had a characters picture and signature, we removed the tab from the outside of the book and stuck it inside with the signature, so we could come back and decorate.

Here is Lilia's Mickey Mouse page we finished up tonight.

Etched Glasses with the Cricut (and wedding pics)

Here I used the cricut vinyl to cut out Bride from the Calligraphy cricut cartridge. I also created a Groom glass and then as our favors we did wine glasses with an design from one of the disney princess cartridges, the double twig hearts, then I used the calligraphy carridge and put a "D" in one and a "L" in the other. Not sure our photographer took a picture of that one though still looking through pictures
