Wow, I actually made something that wasn't pink, wedding related or for my daughter!!  How liberating LOL I needed to make a birthday card for my father-in-law.  I saw the birthday cake cut on the Cricut Celebrations cartridge and really liked the image so I decided to go with it!  This is an adorable fold for a card.  I've seen it called the Tri-fold, the double fold and even the joy fold.

Hi and welcome to day #23 of My Cricut craft room's 25 days of Christmas.  Today's theme is snowmen and I chose to make a home decor item using the Potpourri Basket cartridge.  Both the snowman and the trees behind him are available on this cartridge.  The frame is a simple $1 frame from Michael's.  I covered it with paper from the signature Christmas Holiday Glitter Book by My Mind's Eye.

We almost have all the arrangements finalized, Then my husband gets laid off and cramps my crafting time so I haven't been able to lose my thoughts in my craft

Welcome back my crafty, wobbly friends!  So glad you decided to stop by for our second day of the action wobbles blog hop hosted by Haidee.  If you didn't start at Haidee's blog, you need to start over from there!  You have just left Martha's wobbly project! For today's project I made a tag that wobbles.  Using my Gypsy I cut two tags from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge, one just

Hello all!  Today I had to make two sympathy cards for co-workers who lost family members.  I used the same colors and cuts, but made them a little different.  The butterfly was cut at 2" from the Ashlynn's Alphabet cart, which was the first cartridge I bought at a Black Friday Wal-Mart sale years ago and don't really use very often. I used basic A2 card bases and re-folded one into a gate fold

Hello all my crafty friends thanks for stopping by!  Today I have a Diamond Fold card to share.  Creations with Christina has a tutorial on her blog and it was so interesting that I had to immediately try it.  Go to her blog for some very detailed instructions on how to make this. Basic instructions are to start with a 4 x 12 piece of cardstock Score at 2",4",8"&10" make a mark at 6" and

Well the summer season has ended (I know there are 14 more days) but for me and my family Labor Day marks  the end of our big camping season and day trips.  The grandkids are back in school and the days are shorter so we spend less time together. On the up side (slightly up) it does leave me more time for crafting.  I get to scrapbook all our fun times throughout the summer. This year we took a

My youngest grandson turned Two!!!!  What a crazy age, they are adorable and demons at the same time.  You laugh at them while they're misbehaving just because they do it so adorably!!  Andrew is obsessed with Mickey Mouse and 'toodles'!!  The only Mickey Mouse cartridge I have is the Mickey Font, but it does have a Mickey head on it, so that's what I used.  I put Mickey on an Action Wobble and

For Employee appreciation week I made some Post it note covers from a tutorial I found at split Coast stampers.  I just love these little covers and so simple to make!  Because they are for my office, for playing my Word search and Crossword Puzzle games I wanted some to reflect team play.   I used stickers from Life's Little Occasions medley packs.  They were school themes but some of the

Wow I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted. It's been that long since I've facebooked or blog hopped too!  Summer is quickly coming to end and it has been super busy, but fun.  In the Midwest we have 9 months of cold weather (LOL) and only 3 months of warm outdoor weather (at least to me) so we have to make the most of it.  I've still been crafting, just not taking the time to blog

Hi all happy Tuesday, the count down to the Holiday weekend has started!!!  Today I have two quick and simple birthday cards.  My daughter needed two cards for the twins of friends who were turning two, and she needed them in 30 minutes because they were leaving for the party.  Gotta love it!!  I used the Birthday Bash cartridge and cut the card feature at 6", which made a 3 x 3 card.  The bird

Hi all, thanks for stopping by.  I haven't been as crafty lately probably because of the great summer weather!!  Well I do have a couple projects over the next couple days to share though, so please stop by tomorrow too! When my daughter said she needed to make father's day cards and had seen a really cute shirt card online while browsing at work I knew exactly which card she meant.  The faux (?

Mary at Cardztv is having a challenge this week to create a beach theme father's day item.  Because I needed a card for my father-in-law anyway I decided to make a card.  I really liked Mary's lighthouse design and because my father-in-law collected lighthouses the design was perfect.  I used Life is a Beach and cut the lighthouse at 4 1/2".  I really didn't like the way the lighthouse cut and

Here is a birthday card I made using Birthday Bash, the Polka Dots embossing folder and scraps from my scrap box. The banner is cut from Birthday Bash.  It is on page 39.  I cut the little bird off the top.  The bird is adorable but I didn't want him for this card.  I used my Gypsy and made each pennant about 1 1/2" wide.  Because the banner is one piece I had to cut it four times and then cut

Here is a spinner card I made for my grandson's 5th birthday.  Being overly obsessed with sharks I knew I had to make him a card with a shark on it and this spinner card was the perfect choice.  I knew he would only be interested in the moving shark so that is the only detail I put on the card.  I used Birthday Bash to cut the shark and the "5".  He loved the card and we made up games with the

As a family we go camping a lot, like almost every weekend starting in April and closing up in October. "C" was a very easy letter.  This paper from Creative Memories is adorable. The zigzag border down the side came that way. It is double sided paper to make matching so easy. The wiggles at the top and bottom of this page were cut from the coordinating paper using a template from Creative

When I first started working on this book I was so excited, but as each letter progressed I was having a hard time thinking of things for each letter.  It was also because summer and other family activities got in the way of my weekly get together with friends for our scrap night and slowly the book found it's way onto the shelf not even half done. Here are a few more pictures of some of the

I've been neglecting my scrapbooking it seems like forever.  I had started a ABC's book for 2nd grandson and put it aside for over a year now.  I got started on this book because I went to a Creative Memories party and fell in love with this kit. It's called "Little Boy" and came with stickers, paper, journalling tags, etc.   I bought the 12x12 kit, because that is what I was used to making, but

I didn't get a chance to post the napkin rings that my daughter and I made for Easter this year.  My daughter had Easter at her house so her family wouldn't need to go between two homes this year.  We had a blast.  We made these napkin rings from toilet paper rolls we cut at 1" each, covered with paper and then using Create a Critter and Easter 2010 we cut images and attached them to the rings.

My daughter was going through my latest scrapbook album and commented that she wasn't in it, well actually she was about 7 times but there wasn't a page just for her.  Being the only daughter she has always been treated like a princess and I guess even though she is a mom now, she still wants me to treat her like a princess, my fault, because we ALL still do almost 30 years later LOL!!  So I

Inspired by a 3 Birds presentation I saw on HSN during the Premiere of the E2, the Die-Cut mats, I decided to try this myself.  Using my Gypsy and the Easter 2010 cartridge I did a quick one page layout for our Easter egg hunt. The "Happy Easter" didn't come out how I imagined, so I had to ink it up a little and then stick it back into the mat, trial and error. The eggs, bunny and grass border

This week over at Mag challenge by the page you had to design something using only the cuts on page 68 of Everyday Paper Dolls.  I've been dying to use some clothespins in one of my projects so I was so excited when I saw the cuts were of the farm and included some overalls and shirts!!
