My most favourite challenge of this series!! My Sister in Law turns 30 tomorrow so I thought I could get creative with her card and design it with this challenge in mind. I used Designer’s Calendar for the number 30 in a cricle frame – I hadn’t realized before how great this cartridge could be … Continue reading
BLOGIVERSARY: Monochromatic Color Challenge!
Well wouldn’t you believe that my entry for the first Blogiversary challenge could have applied to this one too!! Instead of putting one card into two categories, I made this one monochromatic as well – I was too excited to use my new Close to My Heart Stamps and Art Philosophy Cartridge!!! I love this … Continue reading

Over at the Cricut Circle Blog, they are celebrating their one year “blogiversary” with a new challenge every day of the week.

Hope Spinner Card

I have a hard time putting interactive elements on my scrapbook pages because I have a strict “keep that page in it’s page protector” policy when it comes to my books! LOL Back to … Continue reading
Bee Themed Gift Bag
Another multi-tasking project! I wanted to fit time in for the Circle’s Magazine challenge and also needed to create an entry for our upcoming fair, under the category of: Decorate a plain purchased gift bag, with the “busy bees” theme. The magazine challenge required the use of some kind of Cosmo Cricket product, at least … Continue reading
Splish Splash Layout
The current monthly challenge for Cricut Circle is to create a “scene” using cricut cuts and since I have been wanting to do something with this photo (possibly my favourite Summer photo!), I decided to go ahead and give it a try! I’ve never really created a “scene” on any of my layouts before… not … Continue reading

We made quite the girl’s weekemd out … Continue reading
Cricut Anniversary Layouts
When the Expression 2 launched on HSN, Provocraft issued a challenge to create up to 3 birthday themed layouts for a contest. The winners would win the new machine (which I wanted oh so badly, and still do!) and some of the layouts were shown on the air during the launch. These are the three … Continue reading
