4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Here is a cute layout I made using my Imagine.  I used Enjoy the Seasons and Stand and Salute.  All the patterned papers are from the Imagine.  I love using just white CS.  Pus I have a million ink refills to use.  :)

Birds of a Feather!

Hello. Misty from over at The Daily Scrapper

The challenge this week was to create a layout the depicted a scene. These are layouts I do all the time so I decided to challenge myself and do one with my Imagine and as a 1 page layout. These pictures of my daughter and her best friends from her old preschool were perfect for the task.

I used several cartridges here, Best Friends, Enjoy the Seasons, and Imagine More.

My daughter is the one is the ladybug costume.

a day of thanks...

Hi ~ Lori here from ScrappinMyStressAway.  Today is my day at SweetSassyDiva's and I made a simple Autumn card.  I say simple, but I am not a card maker and I tend to make them harder than they seem!!! 

I uncovered my Imagine and took out my Enjoy the Seasons cartridge.  In order to prevent waste, I try to print and cut several pieces at once.  I used the haunted houses for another project.  I put the pumpkins and gourd in my que as one image.  I then broke a second image into layers (the same size as the first image) and printed and cut them both out.

Here is the paper after I printed and cut.

I used the stamp "a day of Thanks" from Close to My Heart sentiments stamps.  I practiced on the layer piece of the banner first.

I used pop dots to layer the small pumpkin and gourd onto the base.   I used 2 pop dots together on the left side of the gourd to even out the layer.

Here they are all layered up!

I cut out a 4x8 piece of brown kraft cardstock for my card base.  I trimmed some green paper from my scrap stash to 3.75x3.75 and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage ink.  I tied a bit of brown twine on the right side.

I took the remaining pumpkin and adhered it to the bottom corner of the card.

I trimmed it and inked it a bit.

I added a little bow with green twine to the stem of the gourd.  I hope you have a wonderful Autumn!!

If you would like to order the cricut cartridge or this stamp set, please send an email to Click Here! and I will send you an invite to my CTMH party.  There are some freebies until the end of this month as well as a stamp of the month set.

Enjoy the Seasons!

Hello- This is Summer from www.cricutdiaries.com and this week over at SSD we were all asked to make you an Easter card, so this is what I did for you all! Recipe: 12x12 white card stock Imagine cartridge "Enjoy The Season's". Pop Dots Pink Ribbon White and Pink Gel Pens Stickles




I really love this cart and have been wanting to use it more so when I saw the super cute bunny I knew it would be perfect for this Easter card.




The scalloped ovals were cut at 5 and 4.5 using the imagine colors and patterns to fill them in.




The bunny and chick image was cut at 4.5 I used pop dots for all the layers, gel pens to go around the ovals and the edge of the card. I then added stickles for some sparkle.

Overspray!

Enjoying another day at Sea on the Cricut Cruise.  Today Robyn and Tammy are doing classes with the Cricut Expression and the Gypsy.  We are on our way to the Bahamas! woo hooo!! Hey, maybe I need a Bahama Mama Drink!   This day is pretty full with a lot of Cricut Crafting.  I sure do need to catch some rays between their classes and maybe some surf n turf.  I will have to see what is on the menu today. 

Also, the cricut will be joining us tomorrow for a beach party!  I wonder if there will be a Luau or just making sand castles and burying the cricut until s/he chirps!  :) 

So, we will be getting our bathing suits on to strut our stuff at the beach Party tomorrow.  Check out Summer's layout! Overspray is good on a hot day as long as you don't fall overboard!  See how she uses the overspray feature on the Imagine!  Her layout really would look great with some beach party themed pictures!

Hey Everyone- this is Summer from Cricut Diaries and this week Bobbi Jo From Sweet Sassy Diva has asked all of her DT ladies to make a 2 page mini-book LO. I normally am not a huge LO person but I was able to use a new cartridge and created this simple LO for you all!
Recipe:
Imagine Art Cartridge - Enjoy The Seasons
2- 12x12 white sheet card stock
Distress Ink "Spiced Marmalade"
Ribbon
Pop Dots

I started by using the "Print Paper" button on my Imagine,this is only the 2nd time that I have printed whole 12x12 and I LOVE it! Since I have only done this twice and both time I used the Medium over spray, I cannot really give you any tip on which setting is better. Even with the Medium setting I still had to run a baby wipe on the mat once I pulled the paper up. I then cut 2 pages (5 3/4 and 8 3/4).


Most of the images are cut from the "Enjoy The Season's" cartridge. The Letters were from Birthday Bash cut at .5 and filled with a pattern from "ETS" to spell out "Mimi's Beach bum's" as the 4x6 photo is of my girls and their Mimi last year out on the sandbar. The sun and all the layers were cut @ 3 inches, the girl was cut at 5.5 inches, the banner was also cut at 5.5 taken from another image and flood-filled with orange to match my LO. All the edges were inked with Distress Ink and I used some pop dots to make my sun's glasses pop. Added some ribbon and used the white scraps left from the Imagine to make the 2 small photo boxes. 

Here is the schedule at sea for the Cricut Cruise:

9:30 - 11:30 am Cricut Expression class with Robyn
12:30 - 2:30 pm catch some rays at the pool and perhaps some yummy food.
3:00 - 5 pm Tammy's class with the Gypsy and vinyl
5:30 - 8 pm enjoy the ship's entertainment
8:00 pm dinner with the cricut
9:00 - 11 pm Open crop and Make 'n take
11:00 - ? Enjoy the night life!

What crafty project are you making today?  I can't wait to show you all the wonderful things that we have made!
