23 Feb -using cartridge ELEGANT EDGES

2012-02-23T00:00:00.000-06:00

If you have by chance came by - I am glad BUT I would love if you hopped on over to Erica at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to see what projects were created using either the ELEGANT EDGES cartridge or SESAME STREET

I chose ELEGANT EDGES. My friend & I are making goodie bags to go to the Women's World retreat for this weekend. I made a frame (cut out at 5.5in - designed and cut on the Imagine) with a small heart in it. printed it out white and did some colors - but nothing caught my attention as I then decided to use my Imagine, Black & White cartridge. and then to spice it up.

white plain cut and then spiced up using the Black & White Imagine cartridge cut at 5.5 in

We colored several of the roses using the SU colored pencils.

This is the saying for the Women's World Christian Retreat in Manhatten, ks this weekend. We made these for the ladies in our church who is going to attend. goodies inside... This is their verse they picked as a theme this year. I typed it up on my computer and printed out to fit. The yellow heart is a heart that is part of the frame. We stuck a yellow heart behind it using the heart punch from SU. perfect fit!
We randomly colored the roses. it was fun to sit, chat and color!
punched 2 holes in the bag & tied it with a black ribbon from walmart. They can save this later on as it is NOT attached to the bag.

Please leave a comment - I love comments :) PLEASE head on over to ERICA over at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com and see more projects created by my Design Team friends

Here is my miracle story to share...

Years ago we had so much and we got into a mess and lost everything. So my MIRACLE today is we are able to buy a home.... We will close by the 15th March. (praying to God it will happen) We were able to move in recently and we love our home which is so much more than what we had before... ( the dates on pics is the first time we looked at the home.)

a huge corner lot - front - back and sides - is this not awesome!! Our garage is on the side.

KITCHEN - see this HUGE fireplace and the patio doors going outside to back yard!!
loooove it!! even has a sitting area in the corner by the fireplace. lil TV is perfect!

front of kitchen -cabinets galore!! we thought we'd never fill these cabinets all up -we were wrong!! lol and under the island is a cellar. NOW.. mind you you have to climb under it to get down there - BUT with some cleaning -we will put emergency things down there if ever a need for a horrible tornado...

part of our back yard. I LOVE the roof over the sitting area!! - can't wait to sit under it and enjoy the summer. We've moved all the wood to another part (came with the home) -so it gives up more room! Trampoline has lots of room now! Hubby's Grill has it's own space!


this is the basement -it has carpet now and seems to be where everything is at as we still unpack.. MY craft room and a sitting area is here as well as a bathroom and to the back is a nice big bedroom which is ours. so literally the whole downstairs is mine and hubby's and area for tornado hiding!!

HUGE garage.. you can't see all the built in shelves, tall cabinet nor the workbench in this pic -but hubby is happy!!

old garage NOW PLAYROOM - now with carpet! and lots of room that leads down to the basement... have the TV with all his Wii games, etc on that cabinet shelf and all family games all in one place!! Door leads to the other side of outside!!

LAUNDRY ROOM - used to be the kitchen. washer/dryer across from these cabinets with MORE cabinets. WE LOVE IT!! the room isn't very big BUT the room right off this used to be the area for the fridge, stove and table. So we have this space in between the kitchen and living room.

We also have more to this home but enough pics - We have plenty of repairs and things to change - but that will come with time and money...

MY hubby even has him MAN CAVE room! filled with football, basketball and his other manly stuff with a TV and microwave!!

We are truly blessed and we consider it a MIRACLE as we never thought we'd ever have our own home again and THEN to have a BIGGER home with so much more than we had before!! THANK YOU GOD!!!! WE ARE BLESSED!

Would love it if you followed blog by e-mail and became a follower. IF you do, please leave your blog addy so I can come visit you too. P lease leave me a comment telling me (if you want) a miracle in your life)

Crafty friends Blog Hop 17/18 Feb.

2012-02-17T00:00:00.000-06:00

Welcome to the Crafty Friends Give Blog Hop.
We are so glad you could join us for Day 1 of this very special hop. The mission of this blog hop is to raise awareness about bone marrow donations to help Leukemia patients.

Bone marrow donation technology has come a long way, and is now as simple as giving blood. So we are trying to raise awareness and get people to register at http://marrow.org to be a bone marrow donor.

And why are we doing this your might ask? To help a friend a fellow crafter, Liz Decade. Liz is battling 2 different forms of acute Leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. We are hoping that this hop will help her to find a match.
You can see her story at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va6RNwYj4BE&list=UUz-JkPSKRldHJNbbEotv8DQ&feature=plcp.

Even if you are not a match for Liz, you can still help her. You see bone marrow registrations drives are expensive, you have to pay for each person who is registered, and Liz is trying to raise money for bone marrow drives and medical expenses (it costs a lot of money to get a transplant). You can donate to Liz at lizquesada.leukemia@gmail.com. All of the money donated will go to bone marrow drives or medical expenses.

And we have some wonderful sponsors who have donated prizes for our hop.

Sweet Stamping Treats Digital Stamps, Trendy Twine, MB Treasurista, Paper Piecings by Nikki, Inspired Stamps, My Pink Stamper and Peachy Keen Stamps have all donated prizes to this hop. In order to be eligible for one of these prizes you must comment on every blog in this hop! There are other requirements for the sponsors so please see Liz's blog post for more details.

If you are coming from http://atuttletime.blogspot.com , you are right on track. If you just came across my blog and would like to hop along, please start over with Liz (http://decadeofscrap.blogspot.com)

USE A PHRASE feature .. on any cartridge

2012-02-15T00:00:00.001-06:00

If you are just coming to say hi - thank you and I am glad you are here!! BUT please head on over to mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to see more projects focusing on PHRASES and many will focus on Would You Ever Guess Wednesday (WYEGW) meaning they pick any feature on a cartridge OTHER THAN the main feature on that overlay pad key My Design Team Sisters are very creative..

go on... stop on by and see... you'll be glad you did! AND while you are it - sign up and become a follower of Erica's Craft Room to never miss any creativity that we come up with just for you!

Today we are focusing on any PHRASE feature on any cartridge. I choose the cartridge, AUTUMN CELEBRATIONS. (I love this cartridge!!)

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS PHRASE and the ribbon on the same cartridge.

- stamp set for a random background is K Andrews Designs called Fashionable Friends. please go to www.kandrewdesigns.com if you would like this stamp set. I used the words associated with our "friends". INSIDE saying 'thanks for your support" is from the same set.

- Ctmh ink pads watermelon, bubblegum and pink carnation. for the random stamping and inking around the edges. Paper is from Ctmh too.

-RIBBON: from Hobby Lobby called Cherish

Bling is from a misc package of misc pink bling shades

Inside is the girl walking from Cricut cartridge Pink Journey (a cut I didn't use.. until now) so never throw away unused cuts.. you never know......

I wanted a simple card to focus on the purpose of the card - THE PHRASE: BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

oops on the top where you can see a lil white.. I clipped a lil more than should.. sorry.

IT does look more focused on the actual card than looking all blended in like I am seeing here...


inside card 'Thanks for your Support"

14 Feb -USE STAMPS ON A CARD

2012-02-14T00:00:00.000-06:00

Please join us at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to see more projects created by the awesome Design Team.

using stamps on a card is the theme today - I then added a cartridge saying...

and by the way... HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

I stamped on the card using the stamps: Technique Tuesday; a little more organized (has tons of random words for paper crafting) and CTMH W189 font Alphabets (I stamped the words cricut, bags & tags)

**Using the CTMH ink pads: chocolate, ocean, sunflower & tulip

** Cricut Cartridge Car Decals was used for the saying "I love crafting"


random stamping to start. Can't say it's done with perfection but as good as I can..... as stamping, scrap-booking and paper crafting is NEVER REALLY perfect.. is it???

Notice the CRICUT in between the I'd rather be... CRICUT.... crafting - that's how I roll..... that wasn't planned but turned out pretty cool!

I am going to keep this for a gift card for either a blog hop or my daughter..

Please head back to Erica's site over at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to see more projects created with stamping on a card OR making of an Valentine Day card by my fellow DT sisters...

let's start... shall we!

I am so grateful to God for these wonderful people in my life!! A place to show off what/who makes me happy. These are important to me - and not in any particuliar order either.. LOL I love my grandkids but boy oh boy... generations have changed.... LOL

HI!! My name is Doris, I love to scrapbook, stamp, and when the Cricut came out - I became a cricut-holic. I started a blog and recently became more involved with blog hopping. Now on my First Design Team on Erica's cricut Craft Room and I am LOVING these blog hops on FB that I am participating in. THIS has made me VERY HAPPY.. It makes me feel important to think I might inspire others to create..
So here i go - loving what is important in my life!! family and friends...

This is our home that we are buying -(this pic when we looked at it) It is awesome.. I have a fireplace in the kitchen and a nice scrapbook area in the basement and plenty of room!! front and back yard with huge garage on the side!! THANK YOU GOD!! This makes me happy because I have a home to call my own and one day for my grandchildren to say to their children - there's a lot of happy memories in that home.. ( I sure hope.. lol)

MY GRANDKIDS at time of photo early fall 2010. ages NOW...

Me, Doris holding Shayanna, 3 & Madison 8 on the hip :) -Jayden, 7 & My Hubby Vernon -
(in tree) Mikhail 6 and Kiana age 9 (for a another week). They think I am old and they think I am awesome at times! They also ask me questions about their mom's and this is FUN to tell stories. THEY make me HAPPY

Mikhail, 6, Jayden, 7 and Shayanna, 3 are siblings. I honestly did not pose them like this! ah... Shayanna is my pride and joy.. Such a grandmas girl! I have been around Shayanna since birth as she lived near me and I have been watching her since she was a baby.

My daughter Kristal, 27 is still a Mommy's girl.. when it comes to her advantage LOL she makes me happy because she likes to scrapbook :) (BIG SMILE) and I am proud that she is advancing in the medical field!

My oldest daughter Elisha who will be 30 in October. She makes me happy because she almost wasn't here. Dr's at one point gave her 5 yrs to live because she had cervical cancer. Bullheaded she is -wasn't listening to the Dr's or me.. at 21 she had a hysterectomy and today is cancer free. She makes me happy with her determination and she gave me 2 healthy happy (stubborn) granddaughters. (pictures above)

That is me in the purple -BURNT (was by pool for a few days). MY friends of MANY years. I lived in flagstaff, Az for years and my friend Barb in white moved to Surprise AZ and the rest of my friends, Dawn (yellow), Paula (red), Jaime in (black) we ALL worked together and were each others friend through EVERY problem that arose in our professional and personal lives! We are missing one friend in this pic. I am grateful for such friends!! This picture they all chipped in for my birthday and brought me to AZ for 5 days to visit with them as they took time off of work, I was having depression issues at this point. I was having withdrawals of missing them after moving to Kansas in June 2009 after 15 yrs at my job, I quit and moved to where my daughter Elisha lived and Kristal followed. How could I not be HAPPY with friends like them!!

NOW... I am thankful and blessed for Jayden, 7, who is our Bio grandson BUT we have been raising him on/off since birth and continually since age 2. Adopted him in May 2010. So we are MOM and DAD now again.. Jayden is Autistic - High functioning BUT none the less - we are learning how to be parents again.. (how does things change so much over the years..) As you have probably can see.. My hubby is not the BIO dad/grandpa BUT he is my girls and Jayden's DAD and GRANDPA as we have been married for 12 years and together 16 yrs. Jayden makes me get up and go.. I have no choice.. I am blessed because God has given him to us when he knew his bio-mother couldn't.

Jayden at one of his Occupational Therapy meetings.

My home at Thanksgiving! Love when the family comes together, friends & family at my home either eating, playing games , crafting or just chatting!! MAKES ME VERY HAPPY!!

My church Haysville Christian Church. This is a sign I made - Were all about LOVE. I LOVE my church home and Church family!! This is my giving to the Lord and to his church - My making signs, whatever needs to be done with decorations and the WOW (Women of the Word). I didn't go to church and lost faith for 17 years. When I moved to Kansas - This church is down the street from me. God provided the day and time as Debbie who is never there at that particular time was there when i went in... I have been going to church and became a member ever since Sept. 2009!
I am blessed and so happy I have a church family that accepts me for who I am...

My crafting - THIS makes me happy and I feel so blessed BECAUSE I have so many down days of just feeling ugh and so tired of no strength nor energy that I am NOT me or at least the ME I used to me even a couple of years ago. I mean... This blog hopping - it helps me to get my mind going and it makes me keep crafting. Another reason to scrapbook - I want to leave memories for my grandchildren; the good, the bad, and the uh oh! moments..

TRULY they ALL light up my life!!

Please head on over to http://snap-schotts.blogspot.com and visit Jann and what makes her world a little brighter!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

This was so much fun to make: I had the colors and just went about with no plan in mind... What is awesome about this card - it could be for a wedding - valentines day - anniversary -or just a I love you - just change the colors.

** Smooches: sassy pink, cape cod, molasses
** Cuttlebug embossing folder: (OMG.. I cannot remember the name of this.. BUT It looks exactly as you see)
** ctmh pink and brown paper and ivory that was embossed on, Chocolate ink pad- distressing around edges
** sentiment: PEACHY KEEN stamp JAN 12 stamp set from Club
** ribbon - stash

I used the different smooches to paint the embossed raised part. AFTER I was all done - I took sandpaper and lightly distressed over it. I hope you like my card. I actually made this for someone who wanted these colors in a card :)

Happy Birthday Matey...

2012-02-10T00:00:00.000-06:00

Stamp set for background stamping : Rusty Pickle Cap'n Jack Stamps

designed and cut from the Imagine 6in card with matching envelope printed out.

This was an invitation printed on front BUT with the change of the paper - it becomes a card - and the happy birthday matey card BUT because how small it came out and I was in a rush.. the envelope became the background (with the skulls) and the background behind the HB matey WAS the card itself and this WAS printed out at 6in..
hmmm.. doesn't seem quite right there.. HB matey printed out at 1.5 and the boy (isn't he cute) at 2.5. The bag of gold was cut at 1.5in. I inked around the edges with and Holiday red & black Ctmh ink pads.

** the twine was than and then inked through the black ink to give it a old look and wrapped around the nice several times.

** Black ink was inked around the tan (which is a paper selection in this awesome cartridge.
Simple yet an awesome card for a birthday boy!

MORAL of this story... never throw anything away - even mistakes of wrong size cutting can be used!

8 feb USE FEATURE TAG (dt)

2012-02-08T00:00:00.000-06:00

I hope you came from Erica's craft room over at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com
IF not, please head back over there when you are done visiting my blog to see what other creative tags and creative ideas they have for WYEGW (Would You Ever Guess Wednesday; which is taking a feature OTHER THAN the focused one on the page) from my Design Team friends

use any feature tag on any cartridge is what

I am showing you today...

** using the cartridges TIE THE KNOT and Imagine cartridge Blossom along with the cartridge Imagine Enjoy the Seasons for the happy couple.

I picked the tag feature on page 57 and #34 on the overlay.

"I DO" is the feature on it.

I cut out on my Imagine 2 tags at 5. in using the colors with the Imagine cartridge Blossom.

*the bottom layer and the patterned paper (from the Imagine cartridge) is just an accent to give it some depth and color.

**The top layer which is a pretty white/yellow pattern. I stamped on it using the stamp set- Simple thoughts - Wedding by Cloud 9 Designs Focusing on the words "this is my promise not only on our wedding day but for each day that follows" I stamped in chocolate ink from ctmh. I then used that same stamp set and randomly stamped on the card and used an image design to fill in.

Even thought I love to do random stamping for a background - still getting it perfected to making it look and feel more even..

II tore two layers of the tag to give it a softer look and inked all with the chocolate ink pad from CTMH. Used icicle stickles to enhance her bow, cheeks. and distress stickles for his mustache and hat.

blue organdy ribbon is used on the top of the tag.

Please head back to mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to be inspired by my fellow DT friends.

Please leave a comment and tell me what creativity you have created using the tag feature.
IF a new follower and signed up for my e-mails - let me know so I can come to your blog too!

NOW onto our scheduled Blog hop....

MY cartridges today being featured are: CAR DECALS - FATHERS DAY and BATMAN

CAR DECALS
I was asked to make a card with feet for the toes.. (um okay..) for a lady who is getting a pedicure from her friends for her birthday! hmmm. so as i was looking for this blog hop and... - WHALAA.. there is feet on my featured cartridge..   CAR DECALS! So here goes.
-SMOOCHES - various colors! I used 12 colors. I know 10 toes... white on the tip of toe and red on the card itself.
- TOES cut at 5.5 inches on the Imagine and then using the RGB code of 255 220 177 for the feet color.

- I typed the sentiment on my computer. There needs to be more pedi-mani word stamps! lol   SEE all the spots on there - it's to represent all the nail-polish we brush off first before our toes gets it..

- stamp set is from Inkadinkado - Stamp It, Girlfriend. I used the nailpolish bottle and stamped randomly on the card base with the black stazon ink pad. then using the SMOOCHES - I just pained in the middle of the bottle.

- inked around the edges is ctmh ink pad bubblegum

- Peachy Keen Stamp set PRINCESS faces 1 1/8th PK 641 and high-lighted with extra color from ctmh watercolor pencils. I saw after I was looking - I forgot her blush -so I went back and highlighted her pretty cheeks.

I have got to say -It looks MUCH cuter in person!

FATHER'S DAY CARTRIDGE

my hubby wanted this made to the size you see.. I wanted to go bigger but nope - this is exactly what he wanted and where it is!!

Using Fathers Day and cutting out at 5in & Using the Imagine for the built in colors just makes me so very happy! wanted to use vinyl but as he says -it's my project and I want paper. (okay then..)

on HIS door.. to HIS room..

Using the pre-selected colors in the Imagine - this made this card an easy quick card. ALL cuts in the Fathers Day cartridge. Is this not a cool recliner cut out at 3in. I love the remote control whcih is cut at 1.5 (word of wisdom.. the larger the remote control the better). the Remote control up on 3d dots to give a little depth. DAD came from CTMH June stamp set. Twine is yellow and black from ctmh.

NEXT CARD AND LAST for FATHERS DAY!

Notice that Jayden wrote on the top of the card... TO DAD... before I could take a picture...
Hope you like his card, he says!

The FATHERS DAY seasonal cartridge is perfect as dad just likes many of the items on this cool cartridge. so we have an 81/2 x 11 card-stock folded in half and inked blue (like the sky, I am told) since Dad does these outside.

* I embossed the life jacket with the Cracked Sizzix from Tim Holtz embossing folder. *The Golf handle is embossed with the Herringbone PC cuttlebug folder and Spots and Dots embossed folder on the golf ball. Jayden insists this is what the golf ball looks like. the tee that the ball sits on was colored green since dad has some green ones.

* the fish were cut out on grey ctmh cs on the Paper Dolls for Everyday cricut cartridge.

** The sentiment inside is such a cute one that I have had for years. 2005 Stampin up. I don't recall the set name except it came with a little girls and boy dressed up like mom & dad.

BATMAN CARTRIDGE

This is my project for today which isn't much BUT it's what my 7yr old wanted... his name .. just like that! Cut out at 4in for each of the capes (which in #36 on the overlay) and is shown for a party decor BUT as we know.. there is no limitations to creativity and the font is on the cartridge too and cut out at 1.5 each. Colors are from the built in from the Imagine. Threaded and hung on Blue twine from Ctmh.

some previous batman creations I have made for a birthday boy last year. (HINT: The larger the cut the better to put it together for the characters!!) ALL characters are cut at 6 or 7in.


details are awesome!

strips of black card stock & batman patterned paper, had in stash. Batman font letters cut from cartridge; misc stickers are on here too as well as some cricut cuts
It still hangs up in his room. - "HOLY BATMAN IT"S MASON"S 5 BIRTHDAY

take a white sandwich bag ink it up with yellow ink and glue on bats for party bags - easy and cheap!

Who knew a door hanger could be turned into an invitation!! FRONT & BACK. It's a door hanger BUT an awesome invite that also fits in the invitation envelopes! Cut out at 4in. The sentiment is from the cartridge too! I just typed up the invite details and cut to fit.

Please head on over to to continue on this fun day of creativity of my fellow DT sister... JAMIE

2 Feb Sports Theme Cartridge, dt

2012-02-02T00:00:00.001-06:00

Sports is the theme for today

Sports Mania is a very popular cartridge and is my theme cartridge for today!

If you came from mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com - perfect and if not... (thank you for being here) Then please head back over there to see more SPORT theme CARTRIDGES from my fellow Design Team friends!

Printing 101 is used for the words cut out at 1inch each letter. designed in the Gypsy. Vinyl is perfect for this project. I used Cricut Vinyl -white. It has held up for a few years through car washes, hail, etc.. and here it is - still in one piece!! it sits on my back window. AND let me tell you.. WHEN you are searching for your vehicle.. It is easy to find!!

I ordered other vinyl for another project and it did not come in yet So.. I took another picture. This posting was up about 2 years ago and so I am pretty hopeful that no one has seen it.

Sports Mania Kick Pose is awesome for martial arts. Cut out at 4.5 in. I manipulated the words (the name of the organization) around the kick pose. My son attended Tae Kwon Do for a while and is getting ready to start again..

can you see me taking the picture... lol

Putting Vinyl on picture frames to enhance your theme of picture or pictures. created at 1.5 in this same pose sits on top of the glass.

this is the actual board and his first that he kicked and broke! We were so proud!

Please head back over to mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com and see other AWESOME sports cartridges used by my fellow DT friends.

PICTURE IT PERFECT blog hop 28 jan 2012

2012-01-28T00:00:00.001-06:00

SO.. I bet your wondering how this name and thought came about.. During the 13 days of Halloween I was participating in - Gill had this awesome card with a picture.. It gave ME a thought.. hmm.. a blog hop showing a PICTURE from either one you took OR from a magazine and create a project from that.

Onto my project for today.. What could I do - so many ideas came to mind.. Here is my first thought..
an invitation... I have my son, Jayden who will be 8 this year under water and he loves pool parties and again.. we will have yet another pool party. I am making them ahead of time so that his friends from school can come (no excuses this year..)

I used a 4x6 pic from last year summer pool time. I used a underwater camera from Wal-mart. I used Rub-On's from American Crafts called Jack. This will be the front of the invitation.

the back of the invitation is..

all pre- cut and created and ready to be put together.

FRONT of invite~ This is my Jayden from last years pool days. and this years INVITE lol!!

this is a closer look to the picture invite I added the cut WATER FUN at 1 in from the cartridge H 2 0 - these are 2 most used cartridges for summer!

back of the 4x6 picture. I used ctmh ink pad moonstruck BUT for the rest of the invites I will be using blue Stazon as when you STILL touch the back it is still inky. ** I cut the wave and the beach balls from the cartridge Life is A Beach. Wave cut at 1.4in and the balls at 1in in the Imagine and using the built in colors. ** I typed up the format of the invitation on my computer and then inked the edges with ctmh crystal Blue ink and tore the bottom.

I hope you like my Picture Perfect invitation for today!!

Please visit LINDA and see what awesome picture taking project she created!!

CRICUT CHEAT SHEETS

2012-01-25T00:00:00.000-06:00

Thanks to Linda Scott on over at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CricutCheatSheet/ She got me started on printing them out by alpha (ex: looking for a heart... look under HEART and you would see all the cartridges that had hearts) Weeeelll... this list has grown from 35 pages to 140 pages and there are so many many files of information regarding the cricut cartridges!

SO.. What I have done is.. go under the master sheets under by cartridges.. and print out a sheet for me to keep next to my cartridge I own... I add on the top under cartridge what functions the cartridge has. Here is an example:

IF you would like this and more of these.. here is a way to get them. GO to the link I have at the top..
** http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CricutCheatSheet/

** either register in her site OR sign in.

** click on LINK

** click on FILES

there is TONS of info on this page. click on the different links to see all kinds of valuable info that Linda has put together over the years)
** MY files are under DORIS PARKER SHEETS

I don't have them all done but I will continue getting them together. I am basically doing the ones I have first and then will do the other ones.

JUST to add.. I print off my cricut cartridge sheets from cricut.com under INFORMATION then under LIBRARY.

let me know if you are printing these off and find them useful..

24 Jan Get Well card dt

2012-01-24T00:00:00.000-06:00

Today our MY Cricut Craft Room Design Team is on a mission to make others feel better by making
Get Well cards.
So please when you are done browsing my card and making a comment (hint hint) :) Please go back to mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com and be inspired by my fellow DT sisters and their creativity!!

Perhaps, this card may be kinda 'weird" in a way of a get well card.. BUT when I saw the phrase.. and then that guy.. (minus the bottle) I know someone who felt like that.. LOL

so I hope you find the humor in my card!

Using buccaneer Imagine Cartridge.. this was all designed on the Imagine as well. The black paper behind is cricut 12x24 paper left over scraps.

the sentiment and the one below is from Stampin Up from the early tom mid 2000's

Sorry it looks fuzzy - showed a perfect shot on the screen...

Letter D bring today the Cricut cartridge..

Dinosaur Tracks... what a cute cartridge for the old and young alike....

** stamp saying - Cloud Nine designs; simple thoughts - happy birthday.
**Mountains created at 1.5 in (there are different layers) I cut the same layer out few times and layered them to give it the effect of a BIG mountain.
** the T-Rex (#1 on overlay) cut out at 2in.
** the twine is from Ctmh as well as the ink that is inked on here through the dino and the paper itself
** embossed using the bird Call from cuttlebug for the background I wanted the feel of the leaves, twigs etc.. that I imagined would be.
** Dino has a cute googly eye and is embossed using Burlap from Sizzix tim holtz.

This is a tag on #1 overlay "TAG Function and just inked with chocolate ink and given a special eye.

Here is a card I made a while ago that I wanted to show you since I bet no one has ever seen him.. Still with the LETTER D -Dinosaur. I had in mind for an older person for this card.

I loved creating this dinosaur from Create a Critter cut at 2.80w & 2.68 h.
. Other items used: *Gypsy wanderings used for the frame that Dino sits on and then embossed using the Cracked embossing folder from Tim Holtz from Sizzix.
** Cuttlebug set of Animal prints was used to emboss the tail and the top body of the dinosaur. I used peachy Keen stamps from critter faces set A med.
** I also used cardstock from Ctmh: kiwi (deleted now) , orange and clover meadow. Bamboo Ink from ctmh used on the edging of card. I love inking around edges!!
** the twine is also from CTMH
. ** oops.. fogot which cartridge the leaves came from.. My gypsy is not near me (how dare I .. lol)
** The saying on the outside of the card is one my hubby thought of when I told him I was making a birthday card.. Cute huh!!
** the inside of the card saying is from CTMH D1111 card sentiments.
I hope you have enjoyed this card.

Inside of the card said - "You're not getting older... You're getting better".

I also used a dinosaur from the 25 days of Christmas - Day 9 CLICK HERE if you'd like to see another example of a dinosaur but he too is from Create a Critter.

So please as you get started - there are a lot of pictures -
(and I didn't even use all my pictures....
so a potty break and a refill of your drink might be needed.. I am so excited you are here. My first time to share my room.

I just moved into this home recently and been trying to get it cleaned up and organized since I joined this Blog Hop..
I am in the finished (??) basement - most room my hubby would give me :)
ARE YOU READY???

This is my CRICUT BOOK.. It holds all the print outs of every cartridge and Imagine cartridge I own (well almost.. waiting for Cricut to update their library) it has a Cricut Cheat Sheet that tell me ALL that is on that cartridge. and I have print out's of the RGB's for a quick reference as well as some Cricut tips, PKS faces tips, etc.. IF you's like more info o the Cheat Sheets - let me know in comments (make sure your e-mail is there)

curtain holders holds up the punches above my cabinet of stamps.

This is my list that goes in the inside of the container that goes along with the cartridges inside and all the functions it has. Sorry it's a little dark. This is how I see it when I look for a cartridge

this is the container that holds 10 cartridges and the books and overlay.

18 containers fir in the larger container - I have then all cartridges in one place!

work area - I know messy!

misc needed items

My new collection of Copic markers - now I need to use to learn them properly LOL

flowers galore and I just added Tulle to this area

glue sticks, hot glue and magnets

tim holtz distressing and access

Making Memories paint - love them!!

another view.

pop dots, glue etc galore

all my stickles and smooches

I am always seeing household items being used - so here goes to recycling!!

markers galore

this is my sheet from Tim Holtz for heat embossing, his alcohol inks, etc...- love it!!


Here is the Imagine cartridges -you can hold A LOT!! 24 of them - I had 2 of them out.. I don't have the print out done yet on this container.

embellishments are mostly stored here... the pink container all stickles & smooches the white butterfly container is chalks and markers the pink and blue lil bins is fibers, ribbons in packages, etc.. Ctmh ribbons, brads etc in on the bottom shelf as well as the embossing etc.. flowers, glues, etc all sit here too. small containers of brads, buttons, etc are all kept together (sits next to the container with pink lid)

keep my cricut stuff here with mats all hanging on.

this shelf holds all my magazines, and all cricut access. gypsy incl. The lg container holds all my cricut cords (below), Imagine ink, pens for cricut that have never been used!! rewards, etc.. I keep all my chipboard for cutting on the shelf below.
the lil container with white lid is for my cricut cake access. See my gypsy sleeve.. That container and another hold all those cricut cuts that never made it or I had the cut and wrote the size on there - left overs, misc projects worked on go here!!

cuttlebug blue binder and this green container hold all my embossing folders and yet.. I need/want more folders LOL so this shelf is my embossing shelf!

this shelf besides the embossing holds cards of different sizes, shapes, and colors they are premade card bases. Also containers near the top holds embellishments galore. and blank albums on the bottom shelf The coffee cup is still awaiting a name to be put on there... See my Cricut Mini... on the shelf alone...

PAPER! PAPER! PAPER!! I love paper! Can you tell!! patterned - solid - vellum - 12x12 -81/2 x11 - and it's here. What order is it in.. only I can know LOl I have it sectioned out by themes only.. it's a mess BUT still a work in progress. the stand up with all the colors is my ctmh paper by color 2 colors to a stand.
The black binders on bottom shelf is CM binders full of every sticker & rub on I have been collecting for years. I stopped buying so much when I got my cricut BUT I cannot get rid of it and challenge myself to use it now. See the top row - I keep misc stuff there -wooden stamps, misc crafts for kids. The first shelf -the bottom 3 shelves hold all my Christmas more info a couple of pics below

a closer look at my paper - I love PAPER!!!

wooden stamps. I use to fill up 2 shelves (from top to bottom not the single shelf) full BUT then I discovered Acrylic and I downsized!

Christmas galore! the white boxes all hold PAPER!! as well as the stand up! Container with red/green, etc polka dots - this is ALL my Christmas Ribbon. container on very bottom holds all kinds of embellishments and misc Christmas / winter / items

acrylic stamps and acrylic blocks cabinet. The black binder holds misc acrylic stamps from many companies. Blue container holds currently the on-line companies (ex: k andrews, mps, mct, PBD, etc.. I don't have many yet BUT I am working on it!)
The black cases AND the big clear one with stamps standing up is ALL CTMH sectioned by words, months, misc, fonts, etc..
I have in a small container and will need a bigger one soon is the PKS holder of faces. I just signed up for the monthly PKS stamp club and will need a new holder too for that!


my Peachy Keen Stamp faces.. I want them all - i need to USE them more too. LOL!!

side view the back room holds the boxes, bags, etc.. cartridges boxes

A view.. See the top row it is too filled with comp books, mini albums, tons of binder clips, wooden items, etc..ALL kinds of bulky items!

whew. a mess but this rack holds all the misc stuff I use to decorate with or shall I say.. ON... all kinds of stuff goes on here..

THIS is all my scrap patterned paper! 3 containers full! I have small baggies if there were quite a a bit of the same cut and pattern,

this my friends is a mess to you.. but I actually have it organized.
a 12x12 bag holds a color family or a few depending on the color. (you can see the blue bag on top) they actually sit up in this container.
I have tons of sheets I need to cut apart to put into their homes... That's what you see as the mess... the sheets can be 1/2 or even smaller - if I can punch through it or cut it up - it stays!

60 + ink pads fit here in this photo case.. the other side of photo case is flat for water brushes, small embellishments, I even had at one time the spritzer for cleaning and pad to wipe.

misc container of paintbrushes, sponges, spritzers, brayers, etc..

see the other holders.. ready for more paperwork.. My walls cannot hold shelves as this is a "fake" wall up against the cement wall. Sooner or later I want to paint them..

I must have some organization since I became involved with a Design team and I have a few guest Spots and MANY blog hops i am happily enjoying. I type it up and hang it here on this wall. This one is my monthly calendar with my Design team that I printed and then I keep all my info pertaining to those days I create for.. and even when I send the previews off, etc....

A basket of paint chips and color combo's.. A needed for any craft room!


One must have some music, a few pictures and my trusty crop-a-dile's along with a few shaped rulers


MY ribbon wall that is NOT in containers... SEE the black 3 binders - these hold LO's NOT even completed yet.. got the paper, the pictures and perhaps a saying and drawing to be done..

junp rings on picture holders

dowels held up by curtain holders

clothes pins hold up on curtain holder.

17 Jan Using a Crop-A-Dile dt

2012-01-17T00:00:00.001-06:00

I love my Crop-A-Dile! In which is today's THEME. It would be awesome if you'd head back over to Erica's at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com to see my amazing DT sisters awesome projects when you are done browsing and hopefully oohing.. and aaahhing.. :))(big cheesy grin)

There are so many things you can do with this awesome tool... I have used it to punch holes in the lil tin buckets to holes for ribbon in composition notebooks, just to name a few.. Do you know you can cut a hole in a cookie sheet to hang it up!!
I am going to show you a couple of older LO's I have done using the crop-a-dile. mind you they were yeeeaaaars ago that they were created...

My daughter Kristal who will be 27 soon. She was 4 then :)

using the crop-a-dile to hold down this journaling.


my oldest granddaughter Kiana who will be 10 next month and her 1st pr of shoes I got her at 6mo old. This is page 2 of 2.	It is a 2 pg LO. and so darn plain!! lol

NOW for today's newest project:

Not sure if you know, but the colorful puzzle piece is the symbol (icon) for Autism.. I have a 7 yr old son, Jayden with Autism and a 10yr old niece, Katie with Asperger's Autism. This will be given to my sister in law, Marti as my niece is in a group home right now with such issues relating to the Asperger's Autism and trying to get it all in control. Bless my niece's lil heart. This will cheer her up.

Don Juan Cricut cartridge is used to cut out the large puzzle piece at 5 inches and the smaller puzzle pieces at Colors were random on the Imagine built in colors. Snapshot Every Day Imagine Cartridge was used for the Crayon look for the "Autism; you color my world" Letters were designed and cut out from the CCR & Imagine. at 3.028 inches down to 2.486in. Ribbon has multi colors & is some scrap ribbon left from a pile. ctmh twine is green, blue and yellow. Crop-A- Dile used to punch holes and then set the eyelet in which it is red hearts.

all done.

this lil sign is one I found on-line somewhere... the smile faces are eyelets set by the crop-a-dile too.

cardboard used for the large hearts that are hanging down.

49 puzzle pieces at 1.5 in were on this mat and all used on my project today. selected colors from the Imagine color built in.


here is the red puzzle piece cardboard printed with RED. I punched a hole using the crop a dile and set it with this cute eyelet heart. I then hung the ribbon and the twine through it.

LETTER C today is featured using the cartridges Cricut decals and Cricut Imagine Country Carnival

Cricut Decals and using the Imagine Vinyl. colors are from within the Imagine machine pre-set.

This is cut from my Imagine at the FULL PAGE . I wanted it to be BIG BUT to fit on one page. here it is! Cricut Decals is the cutest cartridge ever!! These are actually 3 cuts from the cartridge! They eventually will be on my car window!

IN MY CRAFT ROOM IS WHERE THESE AWESOME SAYINGS ARE!

I have this awesome saying over my Cricut area!
I know my wall is plain right now but my room is a MESS and I am in the midst of cleaning it for the blog hop I am in on the 20th Jan. So I see that the cricut is kinda crooked.. off to fix it.. sorry.

My 2nd project is from the Imagine cartridge Country Carnival. A beautiful cartridge - paper, tag and butterfly all come from this awesome cartridge
** I used CTMH inks Sorbet, chocolate and cranberry. ** chocolate ctmh paper for the outside
** frosted lace stickles for the roses.
** CTMH stamp saying (inside and outside on tag) D1197 My One & Only

*** Can you see the tag in the middle - cut at 2.8in and then embossed using the rose embossing folder from Once Upon A Princess.. I inked the middle of the roses with sorbet and lightly dabbed with chocolate ink after I lightly sandpapered it. I used the stamp set saying "I have learned from you, leaned on you and Loved having you in my life and stamped several times on the tag. The same saying is inside as well. ctmh gold twine is wrapped around it and the pretty butterfly sits among the tag.

** inked around the edge of the pretty paper with sorbet ink.
*** Butterfly cut at 1.5in. ~ Paper (top layer) cut at 6.3 then trimmed to the size desired. ~ tag in middle cut at 2.8
