Scrapbook Friday at My Cricut Craft Room!

 
Please scroll down to next post for the "MONSTER MASH BLOG HOP" featuring Exploring Cricut and Made Especially For You! 
 
 


Hey all!!!

Today is another post for My Cricut Craft Room!!!

Today's theme is:
 
Scrapbook Friday

Teacher theme for World Teacher’s Day (does not have to be a school teacher…. I teach people through Ustream, so get creative)

So...I wanted to get creative and think of a layout that I could make for someone who DOES teach, and not necessarily in school! So...I got to thinking....And here is what I thought of!!!



I made a 2 page layout for a Cooking Instructor using Kate's Kitchen and my Imagine!!!

I stiched recipe cards for the photo mats (with my Sew Easy) which are cut at 4 inches on the Imagine from the Kate's Kitchen cartridge. Even my background paper is from that cartridge!

I spelled out Cooking Class = Cooking with Class in my Cricut Craft Room using Craft Room Basics. I just love that font! I welded the letters of each word together as well!

I popped up the center images on each page with Pop Dots!

I hope you enjoyed my project today! Please check out the rest of my DT sisters over at My Cricut Craft Room! You will be amazed!!!

OK all, hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'!

Breast Cancer Awareness Challenge at Exploring Cricut

Hey All!

Its time for another challenge over at Exploring Cricut!

The theme for today is Breast Cancer. Here are the details fort the challenge:

Create a Card, Layout, or Papercraft symbolizing hope against the fight of this terrible disease with pink and a sentiment.

This hit especially close to home for me this year because I now have someone close to me that I know that has this horrible disease...My Babci (Polish for grandmother, my mom's mother).

She found out 3 days prior to Christmas last year, and because my Babci is like a typical caring, wonderful woman, she decided not to tell anyone at Christmas what was going on. This INFURATIED me! How horrible must it have been to have this on your mind and not tell anyone or have anyone be there for you! She told me that she didnt want to ruin our Christmas or our vacation....WHAT???? BABCI!!! We are family, we NEED to know so we can  be there for you! Well, needless to say once I DID find out, I have been there for her! She had a masatamy back in January, and has been on Chemo since. So far, all looks good! YEA!!!

So, today, this project is dedicated to her!!! LOVE YOU BABCI!!!


 
Supplies:
Cricut Expression
Cricut Autumn Celebrations
Pink By Design Breast Wishes
DCWV Pattern paper
Recollection solid paper
Real Red Stampin Up ink

Cricut Cartridges in their projects during the two days

luck and have a great time hopping.
 
Hi All!!!
 
You should of arrived here from the talented CHRISTINA, if you did not, please start HERE!!!
 
Between yesterday and today, each of my Design Team sisters and I all had to each pick 4 cartridges to work with to create either a project(s) to showcase each of the cartridges artwork!

The cartridges I chose today are:

A Frightful Affair
Autumn Celebrations
George and Basic Shapes
Moveable Monsters


Can I tell you just HOW excited I was to challenge myself with creating an AWESOME project utilizing these cartridges??? Well, I can tell you I had a BLAST doing it!!!!
 
Here is my project:
 
 
2 page layout featuring 2 4x4 picture mats and a 4x6 picture mat.

 
 Witch from Autumn Celebrations

 
Zombie Man from Movable Monsters, but shadow background from A Frightful Affair

 
Pumpkins from A Frightful Affair

 
Ghost Tree from A Frightful Affair

 
Boo from A Frightful Affair and Moon from George and Basic Shapes. The picture mats were also from George and Basic Shapes

 
 
Tombstone with zombie hands is also from A Frightful Affair
 
 
 
Can I just tell you that this was the FIRST scrapbook layout I have made since World Scrapbooking Day??? How terrible is that??? But, I will say, I have enjoyed it SO MUCH, that I created 3 new scrapbook pages that I will save to show at a later day! And I also decided that I much more enjoy making blank layouts, THEN going in to put a picture in..MUCH EASIER to decide! I also decided that I really enjoy doing whole scenes, creating something around my pictures. Wait til you see what I have in store for you over the next few weeks!!!
 
So, I hope you enjoyed my project! If you did, I have the file saved on my Gypsy and CCR. I would be more than happy to send it to you!

Also, please make sure that you comment on each blogs along the way to be entered to win today's prizes.
