Thank You!!!

I am so excited!  I found out this morning that I won the Cricut Classroom Contest on Facebook, which means the E2 Anniversary Edition is on its way to me!  Thank you so much to all of you who voted for me!  I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! I want to thank Provo Craft for this awesome prize too!

The project that I posted was the biography bodies my 2nd graders made last spring.  I'm teaching four of those kids as 3rd graders this year, and they were as thrilled as I was to hear our project had won!  We are all looking forward to playing with the E2!  Thanks again!  I have the BEST followers and subscribers!!!

Quick, Easy, & Cute Birthday Notes!

Today one of my students is celebrating her birthday, and it's the first birthday in our class this school year. I usually give each child a birthday pencil and bookmark on their special day.  I never got around to buying the bookmarks this year, so I decided to make little notecards instead.  These were very quick.  I cut the cupcakes from the Cricut Sweet Treat cartridge at 2 1/2".  The Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes and Divine Swirl folders added some fun dimension to them.  Of course, I also had to use Action Wobbles to attach the cupcakes to make them even more fun!

My actual notecards were made with the Papertrey Ink Lunchbox Note die.  

On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the My Creative Time Gift Card Sentiments stamp set.

Throwback Thursday Challenge with My Creative Time!

Thanks so much for everybody who has been voting for my students' biography projects in the Cricut Classroom Project!  A few people have asked how I'm doing in the contest, but I don't see counts of votes anywhere.  I guess I'll find out on Friday!  If you'd like to vote, I'd really appreciate it!  Click here  for voting - you can vote every day through Friday.  Thank you!!!

It's another Throwback Thursday Challenge with My Creative Time!  We have a fun challenge for you this week - you need to create something using any Cricut FONT cartridge!  You can use the font, the phrases, or any of the images that often get overlooked on these cartridges.  Can you believe I got my mailbox and the plants on my card from the Jubilee cartridge?

Most of the images on the font cartridges do not come with layers, but it's easy to create them yourself.  I cut my mailbox twice - once in brown, and once in the red pattern, and just did a little cutting with my scissors.  Before adhering the red layer, I tucked in a little envelope that I created with the My Creative Time Embossed Envelope Die.  I stamped "miss you" by masking part of the "I sure miss you a lot!" sentiment from the My Creative Time Happy Mail stamp set.  I didn't want part of the sentiment to be hidden in the mailbox, so I just made it shorter.  I also embossed my post and used my Scor-Pal to create the line showing the corner of the post.

Now, this is an A7 size card (5" x 7 1/8").  I needed a big mailbox that would match the scale of my envelope.  The mailbox is cut at 6 1/2", and the plants are cut at 5" and 3 1/2" REAL DIAL SIZE.  I know the plants don't look that big, but they are part of a bigger cut that includes a tree, etc.  I just hand cut the grass.  The other cute sentiment is also from Happy Mail, and I stamped it upon an oval that I cut with the My Creative Time Stitched Oval Die and then trimmed to fit my card.  My pretty cloud paper was printed on my Imagine using the Best Friends cartridge.

Be sure to stop by My Creative Time to see more fun font cartridge projects made by Emma and the design team AND to join in the challenge!  Below are pics of the My Creative Time products that I used for my card.  Click here for purchasing information.

Sunflower Hugs Card

Here's a little card I made for a sweet friend who hasn't been feeling well lately.  It's a 4 1/2" square card, with the brown layer cut as a 4" square, and the yellow polka-dot layer cut as a 3 3/4" square.

For my focal point,  I stamped a sunflower and sentiment from the Papertrey Ink Simple Sunflower stamp set on a 2 1/2" shape cut from the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge.  Because I cut this pretty small, the little holes didn't cut out completely with the Cricut.  I went over them with a Fiskars hole punch so the brown layer beneath would show through.

Before I get started, I want to thank all of you who went to Facebook and voted for me in the Cricut Classroom Project.  I really appreciate it, and my fingers are crossed!

While my Gypsy is in the Provocraft hospital, I'm doing some old school crafting.  I know it's a bit early for Christmas, but I just got some of the new Papertrey Ink Christmas stamp sets that I couldn't wait to use.  For this tag, I used the Holiday Lights set.  To dress it up, I heat embossed the light string with silver embossing powder, and then I added Glossy Accents to each of my stamped bulbs.  I love the shine and dimension it gave to them!  My tag shape was die cut with the My Creative Time XL Label Die.

Please help!

Okay, my wonderful followers and subscribers, I could really use your help!  I've entered myself into the Cricut Classroom Contest.  I don't usually enter contests in which you need to ask people for votes, but this is a school related one, and my students would also be really excited if I won.  This is the project I entered.  It's the biography project that my  2nd graders did last spring.  Each student researched somebody who has made a difference, wrote a report, and made the person using my Cricut and the paper dolls cartridges.

If you would like to vote for my entry, click here.  I'm hoping to win an Expression 2!  Thank you!!!

Papertrey September Blog Hop Challenge

Click here for Gilby's Crafster Makeover Walk.

It's time for the September Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!  I picked up some fun Christmas goodies at the last release, and I was so excited to play with them!  For today's hop, we were asked to gain inspiration from the photo below.  We could focus on the colors, the strips, or the repetition.

For my card, I focused on the repetition, creating three Christmas trees with repeating patterns.  All of the stamps I used on this card are from the Papertrey Ink Love Lives Here:  Holiday stamp set.  The trees were cut using the Love Lives Here:  Holiday Die Collection.

To add some dimension to the trees, I cut the base layer of each with a Papertrey Ink coaster and then added the layers using the Christmas Prints patterned paper.

Gilby's Makeover Walk

Welcome to Gilby's Makeover Walk!  Wendy, over at Gilby's Crafster, just got an awesome blog makeover and is celebrating with this "Doggie Walk"!  If you just stumbled upon this post, be sure to head over to Gilby's Crafster to see her cool new look and to begin the walk!  In honor of the makeover, Wendy has asked each of us to do some type of makeover project.

For my makeover project, I decided to play with the cute tray shown below that my mom bought for me years ago.  I love it how it is, but I thought I could also easily transform it for different holidays without harming the original tray.  

For my project, I decorated a 12" square piece of cardstock and then just laid it in the tray. If I ever wanted to prop the tray up, I could just use some removable adhesive to make it stick temporarily.

Within the 12" square, I made 4 smaller squares by layering 5 9/16" squares of patterned paper onto 5 13/16" squares of solid cardstock.  To decorate this first square, I cut these words from the Cricut Word Collage cartridge in black.  I then used my Gypsy to hide all of the words and just cut the pumpkin again in orange.  Unfortunately, my Gypsy died this week, so I don't have access to the sizes of any of my cuts for this project.

For this square, I made some fun Halloween Bingo cards using the new My Creative Time Anyday Bingo & Crossword stamp set.  I love this set because you can create any word that you want on your Bingo card.  The witch is cut from the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cartridge.

This square has two more fun cuts from the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cartridge.  There are a lot of gems on this one!

Finally, to create this square, I cut two pumpkins from Create a Critter and put them on poles that I had cut 1/4" wide using my paper cutter.  My little ghost and alien costumes are from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.  I was excited to "hang" them from my clothesline using these cute clothespins that I've had for a while, but never used.

"Grunge" Thank You Card

One of my former third graders, who is now a junior in high school, gave me a really sweet gift the other day.  I made this card for her thank you note.  It was pretty easy to make, and I think she'll like the bright colors and the "grunge" look.  I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock at 5 1/2" x 3 3/4", distressing the edges with my Tim Holtz Distressing Tool, and stamping all over it with the stamps from the Papertrey Ink Grunge Me stamp set.  On top of that, I glued the "thanks" that I had cut from the Cricut Don Juan cartridge (sorry I don't have the size - my poor Gypsy died yesterday).

To get my pink layer just the right size, I first cut my cardstock 5 1/2" wide and trimmed one end with my ekSuccess Bumpy Roads border punch.  Then I was able to trim it to 5 1/2" x 4".  The turquoise layer is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".

Get Well Butterfly Jar

My mom had surgery on her throat yesterday, so I made and sent her this A2 size card over the weekend.  Hopefully it will be waiting for her when she gets home from the hospital today and will cheer her up a bit.

The cute butterfly jar cut is from the Cricut Kate's ABCs cartridge at 3 1/2".  I used my Gypsy to hide all of the tic marks on the base cut of the jar, cutting it once in white and once in vellum.  After adhering the plant and butterflies to the white layer, I adhered the brown outline to the vellum.  It was then easy to put the glue on the vellum, just around the edges, where the brown layer could hide it.  I made a little "Feel better" tag with Papertrey Ink stamps and die, and attached it to the jar with some Trendy Twine.

My sentiment, stamped on the My Creative Time Stitched Oval Die, is from the My Creative Time Pain Pain Go Away! stamp set.

First Time with Glitter!!!

I'm not usually into the messier side of crafting, but for some reason I had the urge to try using glitter the other day.  It actually wasn't as messy as I feared, and I love the results!  This is an A2 sized card, and my image is cut from the Cricut Sophie cartridge at 3 1/2".  To glitter my bird, I covered it with my Zig 2 Way glue and some Martha Stewart glitter.

For my sentiment strip, I put 1/8" Scor-Tape on the top and the bottom of the front and the back of a 3/4" x 4 1/2" strip of vellum.  After adhering the strip to my card, I sprinkled glitter on top of the Scor-Tape on the front of the strip.  My next step didn't work out so well.  I stamped my sentiment directly on the vellum, but apparently I did not use the right kind of ink, and it smeared.  I was bummed, but there was no way I was giving up now, after all of my work.  So I just cut a strip of turquoise paper that matched my bird, stamped my sentiment on there, and adhered it down the center of the vellum strip.  I actually think I like this look better!  The final touch was a button that I made with Smokey Shadow cardstock and my Papertrey Ink Button Die.  I covered it with Gossy Accents to give it a more realistic look.

My Creative Time September Stamp Release Blog Hop

The day you have been waiting for is finally here!  Today is the official release of the brand new My Creative Time stamps and dies!  You will just love these sets - they are so much fun to play with!  If you haven't been to Emma's site this morning, head over there now to see her video introducing all of her new stamp sets and dies!

Anyday Bingo & Crossword is my FAVORITE of this release!   I love Bingo cards, but I've never purchased them because you are limited to what is pre-printed on them.  Emma's set is so much fun because it comes with a complete alphabet and adorable little images for the "free space."  The possibilities are endless!

I decided to make a Christmas card because I've been dying to use the My Mind's Eye "Lost and Found Christmas" 6x6 stack that I bought this summer.  I love the vintage look to this paper, and I thought the letters and numbers on the Bingo card were a great match for it.  I first stamped my Bingo card on one of the patterned papers from this pack, using dark chocolate ink.  I cut it out, rounded the corners, and inked around the edges.  I then stamped "MERRY" and the Christmas tree, using colors of ink that coordinate with my papers.

Because the patterned papers have such a vintage feel for them, I used my Gypsy to find an old-fashioned stocking.  This one is from the Christmas Cheer Cricut cartridge, cut at 3 1/4".  I really wanted to pull in the scarlet cardstock that I used for my card base, so I cut the layers with this color.  It looked a little plain to me, so I dressed it up by stamping the layers with a pattern from the new Build a Banner Kit and some dark chocolate ink.  I then attached the stocking to the card with a My Mind's Eye brad and some crinkle ribbon.

My Creative Time September Sneak Peek #4

It's Day 4 of the My Creative Time September Sneak Peeks!  We saved the best for last!  Build a Banner  kit is just too cute and a blast to play with!  This kit comes with 4 patterned background stamps and 4 dies!  So fun!  I'm showcasing a banner today on a cute Halloween layout of my son and his cousins back in 1999.  The little construction worker is mine. :-)

For my banner, I used just one of the two different banner shaped dies, along with the rosette and circle dies.  Don't you just love the embossed stitching on the banner and circles?  The other GREAT thing about this set is that the alphabet from My Creative Time's Anyday Bingo & Crossword (sneak peeked on Tuesday) fits into the circles perfectly!  The polka dots on my banner are from one of the pattern background stamps in this kit.  I also used another My Creative Time die, the Stitched Oval Die, to record my date.

Since my son was dressed as a construction worker, I thought it would be fun to add a ghost wearing a hardhat to my layout!  The ghost is from the Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge, cut at 6 1/4", and his hardhat is cut at 4 1/4", from Paper Dolls For Everyday.

My Creative Time September Sneak Peek #3

Good morning!  It's time for Day 3 of our My Creative Time September Sneak Peeks!  Today we are showcasing Emma's new stamp set, Whimsical Calendar Days, and die, XL Label Die.  This is another set that can be used in so many different ways.  I chose to use it in a Halloween card today.  This is an A2 sized card (5 1/2" x  4 1/4").  My cute witch is from the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art Cricut cartridge, cut at 3".

For the calendar, I began by die-cutting some cute My Mind's Eye Halloween paper, using the XL Label Die.  I then stamped the coordinating frame in orange.  This stamp set comes with one set of dates, but if you are using a month with less than 31 days, it is easy to mask off the days you don't need by covering them with scotch tape before inking (just remember to remove the scotch tape before stamping).  After stamping the dates and month, I used the little square that comes with the set to highlight October 31st.

I couldn't resist adding one of my favorite My Creative Time Halloween sentiments.  This one is from the Mixed Holiday Sentiments stamp set.  A pretty brad finished it off!

My Creative Time September Sneak Peek #2

It's Day 2 of the sneak peeks of My Creative Time's September stamp release!  The set I am showcasing today, Anyday Bingo & Crossword, is so much fun!  I focused on the crossword part of the set for my A2 size card.

Anyday Bingo & Crossword comes with the boxes, that I stamped on pink paper, and the letters, which I added with red ink.  Since you can build any size crossword with any number of boxes and an entire alphabet is included in the set, you can make anything you want!  After creating my "Birthday Wishes" crossword, I cut it out with regular scissors, inked up the edges, and adhered it to my patterned paper.

My cute little flowers are cut from the Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge at 1 3/4".  The stems are cut at 2" and the flowerpot is cut at 1" from Walk in My Garden.  I also added some twine and a cute brad to the flowerpot.

My Creative Time September Sneak Peek #1

It's Sneak Peek Week for My Creative Time!  Emma has designed the funnest and most UNIQUE stamp sets ever this month!  They really are a blast to use!  Today Emma and the My Creative Time design team is giving sneak peeks of the new Game Night stamp set, which will be release this Friday.  This is a must have for everybody who loves poker, bunco, dice, etc.  It is seriously cute!

For my project today, I decided to make a little treat box that would be fun to give out on Bridge or Poker Night!  I cut a box from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge at 8 1/4", using white cardstock.  Before assembling the box, I stamped it with the hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades from Game Night.

My tag is also cut from Art Philosophy, at 2 3/4", and I heat embossed the Game Night sentiment.
