Countdown to Christmas - 22 Days!! with MCCR

Welcome back!!

Today's theme with My Cricut Craft Room is 

Angel

I am in the process of making some gift card holders for sale at work so you will be seeing a lot of these in the next couple of days.

The Angel is from Christmas Noel cut at 2.5 inches. I did both layers white and added diamond stickles to her wings. 

I put some strips of Tim Holtz tissue tape behind the angel to ground her and I am done!

So cute and so simple. Make sure to check out My Cricut Craft Room to see what else my design team sisters have done :)

Hope this gets you in the crafty mood!

December 100 Cricut Cart Blog Hop with MCCR

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's Monthly 100 Cartridge Blog Hop for December!!

If you got here from Mary's blog, great you are on the right track!

If not, head to My Cricut Craft Room to see all the great projects along the way!!

I had 4 cartridges to use this month. I combined them and made two projects.

For my first one, I wanted to do something Christmas since it is right around the corner

I used Teresa Collins Sophisticated and Gingerbread for this project. The scallop border is from Sophisticated (page 44, cut at 1 inch), the swirl is also from the same cartridge (cut at 2 inches). The wreath is from Gingerbread cut at 2.5 inches.

I added stickles in xmas red, green, gold and diamond to decorate my wreath. The paper is from last year's (I think) DCWV christmas mat stack.

For my other project I still needed some birthday cards so that is what I worked on!!

I used Pretty Pennants and Celebrate with Flourish for this project.

The pennants are cut from Pretty Pennants at 2 inches for the small ones and 3 inches for the large middle one. The happy birthday is from Celebrate with Flourish and was cut at 2.5 inches.

I ran the middle pennant through a cuttlebug folder and sanded the raised area. The pattern paper is from Echo Park - A Walk In The Park 6x6 paper pack. I inked everything in Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Pink Cheeks.

Well I hope that inspires you to get out your cricut and start creating!!

Your next stop on the hop is my DT sister Teresa!!! 

Wait til you see what she has in store for you!

Have a great weekend!!

Vacation with Just a Scrappin

Welcome back!!

This week over at Just a Scrappin', our challenge is:

VACATION!!

add 3 buttons and at least one ribbon

I think beach when I think vacation. How about you?

 I love this (discontinued) paperline from Quick Quotes for my vacation pictures. I used it here as well. And I pulled out a (discontinued - Seaside) stamp set from Stampin Up to go with my beach theme.

I inked my stamps with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Tahiti and stamped right on the pattern paper. I also inked the edges of all my paper layers with Tahiti. I added the Thank You sentiment and punched it out. I added Caribbean twine and buttons from my stash.

 I hope you like my vacation thank you card and join us for this week's challenge!!

V with MCCR

Good Morning!!! Today with My Cricut Craft Room, the letter of the day is

"V"

I made my Violet Valentine using Sophisticated

The tag is cut at 4in, the heart at 2.5in and the Love at 2in

I embossed the tag and inked the raised parts with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Purple Passion.

I added some Violet and Silver Chrome pearl pens, a doily, ribbon, twine (in Lilac) and a button from my stash.

I just love the way this turned out :)

Hope you are inspired to do some crafting today!!

Quick Quotes Challenge

Hello everyone!

Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend and black friday shopping! I know I did! New 55' TV downstairs to prove it. I think my boyfriend is in love. LOL

This month's challenge over at Quick Quotes was to 

Make a page with a black and white photo

I almost missed entering this one as the deadline is today. I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I read the challenge so I took some time today and worked on a page very close to my heart

I still look at some paper and think to myself "Grandma would have loved this line" and that was my first thought with this Cherry Truffle line from Quick Quotes. 

I inked everything in Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Bloody Mary. 

I used the Teresa Collins Sophisticated Cricut Cart to cut the "Remember When"

I just love this chipboard tree, also from Quick Quotes. I thought it pulled together the page perfectly and didn't embellish it any more than just adding a bow of Cappuccino Twine around the trunk.

I hope you enjoy the page and check Quick Quotes next week to see what next month's challenge will be!!
