10 March Guest Designer St Patricks Day on...

http://creativecraftin.blogspot.com

Today I am a Guest Designer on http://creativecraftin.blogspot.com  I am so excited and I thank Angela     for letting me be a part of her blog and blog hop, in which will be the 17 & 18th March.

So don't forget to come back and hop with us, starting with Angela at creativecraftin.blogspot.com on the 17th March - St Patricks Day Blog Hop..

Even though I am part Irish, have the red hair (or at least used to, now mostly grey)  I just think it's fun to celebrate the GREEN day regardless of your heritage background!!

Starting out with 8 x 10 mat with a 5x7 opening, I used the paper and cut what I wanted to focus on this frame.   I also used the words from the cricut cartridge Word Collage -  St. Patty's Day. Using Imagine Vinyl and the color green from the preset colors on the Cricut Imagine. I just used some of the words within this awesome cartridge.

** The green doily on the corner is from our LLS that I thought was awesome, so no idea who the company is as they opened a package and sold them each. The "LUCKY" is from the Word Collage cartridge cut words.  I used the Gold stickles to outline the clover surrounding LUCKY!

** The paper inside the frame is a sheet of patterned paper from Karen Foster Designs (kiss me I'm Irish collage)   I just cut out what I wanted to focus on.  I used Gold Stickles to highlight the 2 bags of gold as well as the lil Leprachaun buttons on his shirt.

** the buttons are from  simplicity wood group; they are wooden buttons. The top button has gold Stickles inside of it and glued to the bigger button.  The O in gOld has gold stickles too.

** ribbon is from a set of ribbon for St Patty's Day.

this is the vinyl cut-out from the cartridge Word Collage.  It is on Imagine Vinyl.  I didn't set the pressure properly, therefore only pulling a few of the words off of it.

patterned paper used and cut from. Bought at my LSS.

gold stickles enhanced the gold bags and his buttons.

First I share with you WORD COLLAGE:  

 In my laundry room on the wall I have this cute lil sign I created using Red Vinyl and created on my Gypsy and expression.  CUT OUT AT 11.28w X 10.76h.   I have more to add to this BUT am awaiting another cartridge to arrive to complete...


PRINCESS PARTY EVENT cartridge:  I wanted a spin on an event cartridge as in using it mainly for party planning - Here I used it for Home decor in my granddaughters room that they have in our home.


Using the Imagine Vinyl  - I used the blade and cuts at regular speeds and it cut so much nicer to work with. (only do this with the IMAGINE VINYL).

Cut at  5.4in   I hung it on the wall and added a large clear heart rhinestone with glossy essentials.  to show that you can spice up your wall art as well.

I love this font...  actually this word..     Cut out at 6.5 in.

different rhinestones and that adding Stickles to the different areas that are open and around the heart added a little extra Sparkle to this awesome crown.

adding a new product I received from my friend Erica at My Cricut Craft room and so loving these are: LIQUID PEARLS colors: white opal & petal pink    I added to the points of the crown  and then used stickles to the rest of the crown.

here to the flowers I used white opal in middle and petal pink for flower

YES, I know it looks crooked as I see it in the picture BUT I had to wait till everything is dry before moving it around ..again.....     the princesses represent my 3 granddaughters.....  literally I have a redhead age 8, brown hair age 10 and the last princess looks like my youngest grand baby girl who is 3...  I bought these at the Dollar store where everything is 1$

Both  of these images are on 2 separate walls in the room..

ROBOT PARTY event cartridge:

creating a card using a little twist  of cutting the same image out 2x at different sizes.  (keep the cuts not used for another project or a 2nd smaller card).  cut on the Imagine.
1.5 sentiment happy Birthday
4.5 frame (smaller inside frame)
5.5 (outside frame) 
cuttlebug folder from Robotz and inked over with the orange ink pad 
Imagine cartridge for the color of the paper is: Blast Off

outlined using a black marker around the tools.

Please head over to Janet's blog for more creativity!!
