Welcome to my little part of blog world.  Hope everyone out there had  a wonderful Christmas!  If you don't celebrate Christmas I hope your winter holiday was just as wonderful.  For my project today I'm sharing a layout of Allie.,  This particular layout is about our drive home after I picked her out.

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas

Hello one and all!  This week's challenge at Exploring Cricut is to create a card, layout, or other paper craft to celebrate Christmas.  For my project I created another Christmas Card.

For this project I used the Sparkle & Shine paper line from CTMH along with Ruby, gray and juniper cardstock.  I added a silver and white ribbon.  I stamped the three trees with the stamp set Trim the Tree (CTMH) with Juniper ink, the two in back are in 2nd generation.  I then added a sparkle outline to the front tree.

Cricut cut:

Art Philosophy:  3 trees at 2.5"

Daily Project; October 17, 2013

Welcome to another daily project for Exploring Cricut.  This week has been my Fall Break week and so I've been trying to get caught up on some of my scrapbook layouts.  Today's project is a layout for a TNT activity.  This one is bittersweet since it took place right after my dad found out he had cancer.  This was an activity that he would have had a blast with, but he wasn't feeling up to going.  At the time we were thinking "maybe next year", but we didn't know there wouldn't be a next year.

Cricut Cuts:
Cursive 101:  Title welded together using Gypsy at 2.06"
Create a Critter:  Fish cut at 2"

Pattern Paper and Cardstock from Buzz and Bummble(CTMH)

October 3 Daily Project

Hi all and welcome to another Thursday project for Exploring Cricut.  For today's project I decided to step out of my comfort zone and do a layout.  This was going to be a 2 page layout, but I ran out of time.  My only cuts were on the first page anyway.

I've been very proud of myself not flooding my blog with Allie projects, but it's time to start working on her book.  I don't have children so I do books for my dogs.  I'm not sure how I took pictures of Ella, but Allie is not as cooperative.  Most of her early pictures are of her back.

Cuts:

Title:  Artbooking cartridge at 2"
Sun:  Life Is A Beach cartridge at 2.53

Happy Scrappin' this week!

Down on the Farm challenge

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by for another fantastic challenge at Exploring Cricut.  The challenge for today was to create a card, layout, or other paper craft with a farm theme.  I thought this one would be very difficult since I don't have kids to take to the farm.  Here's my take on this challenge.

 I used the new cartridge from Close to My Heart "Artbooking" to create a farm book.  This is my first project with this cartridge and I must say I love it.  The cuts made were

<1> using Photo Mat 1 feature at 8" I cut 2
<1-s> Photo Mat 1 feature at 8"
<1> Photo Mat 2 feature at 8"
<1-s> Photo Mat 2 feature at 8" I cut 2
<2> Photo Mat 2 feature at 8"
<2-s> Photo Mat 2 feature at 8"
Overlay feature at 7.5"
The letters for this page were cut at 1" from the Doodletype cartridge.

The lettering for this page was cut at 1" using Sans Serif.

The lettering for each of the animal cards was cut from Sans Serif at 1"
Each animal was cut from the Animal Kingdom cartridge at 2.53".

For the goat, cat, and sheep I used fun flock to make it look fluffy.  I used pink stickles for several animals noses and black sparkles for some of their eyes.

To assemble the book, each inner page is a little over half the size of the big page.  I alternated one on top then one on the bottom.  Then used ribbon to tie the book together.

Thanks for taking the time to view my project.  Don't forget to play along and link your project back at Exploring Cricut.
