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!!

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!!

Anything Goes with Just A Scrappin'

This week's challenge at 

Just A Scrappin' is

ANYTHING GOES!!

Who doens't love this challenge!? Just finish up anything you are working or or use it as an excuse to get that page or card you have been wanting to do done!

:)

I worked on a layout for my co-worker's album. She wanted a sisters page to put pictures of her two girls together on.

I used some felt flower borders I had and added stickles to the middle to make them pop

Sister is cut from Teresa Collins 

I used Quick Quotes Powder Puff Inks in Purple Passion, Blue Hawaiian and Lemonade to ink around the edges of the paper. The paper is an old stack from DCWV. 

Hope you like my page and will play with us this week at Just A Scrappin'!!

Home Love Family

Who still loves 2page layouts!?!?!

I do! Good thing I have been doing so many of them lately!

A family page is always needed in a scrapbook. My co-worker requested that I title it Home. Love. Family. I have this DCWV stack that I have wanted to use forever and it just screams family at me. So I pulled out Linen Closet and got to work!

I was inspired by a page I saw on A Page for All Seasons blog that I saved as an idea a long time ago. I used their page as a sketch for this one. I inked everything in Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Biscotti and a little bit of Blue Hawaiian.

Here you can see the border on either side of the large photo mat on page 1. There was a pattern sheet in the stack that was all of these scallops. I cut 2 out and added them to the sides as borders!

I usually hate making bows but I felt like this layout really called for it. I wanted it to lay pretty flat so I put my ribbon all the way across the page first, then tied a bow with the same ribbon and glued it on top.

Home, Family and Love were all cut from the Teresa Collins Sophisticated Cricut Cartridge. I layered the blue from the stack with some cream to make the words stand out. 

I added some Twine in Cappuccino and Caribbean at the bottom of the small photo mats to add some interest.

I hope you like this soft family layout.

Celebrate with Craft!

While catching up on my new years resolution, I am trying to get some of the cards entered in challenges. Over at Little Red Wagon this week, they challenged us to use craft cardstock. Lovely! I had seen a craft and white card done with a doily in a magazine somewhere and knew that is what I wanted to base my card off of. 

 I got the doily from the bakery section of Michael's. The lace ribbon is from my stash. The Celebrate and Fleur de Lis were both cut from Teresa Collins Sophisticated cricut cartridge. I added some detail on the Fleur de Lis and under the Celebrate with my Viva pearl pen in cream.

The piece of doily I trimmed from the bottom of the front, I added to the edge of the inside to really finish up the card.

I hope you like my clean and simple version of a craft card!

Come back Thursday for my first design team post!!
