Cricut Pumpkin Carving cart

I recently got this got and just had to try it out. I love wolves so I was pleased to see a howling wolf on this cart. I used the expression and the 12x12 mat. I selected the wolf and fit to page. Cut it out of chipboard and then again out of shiny black metallic cardstock from walmart. I glued it to the chipboard. I then took a 12x12 sheet of translucent vellumfrom paperbilities and glued it to the back side.  Here you see it with no light except the flameless candles from behind and then with the light on. Please excues the camera flash.
I just love this and plan on do more for Halloween.

Thanks for looking!

Hosting a swap on the Cricut MB

I am currently hosting a swap on the Cricut MB. It is Twilight Saga Fire and Ice recipe swap. I can hardly wait to see what everyone does for this. Each person has to decorate an 8x8 cardstock. On one side they are to put a Fire (Jacob) and the othere Ice (Edward) recipe and add a pic from the movie or a quote from the book-movie and some sort of embellishment. I will post pics of the completed book in Oct. That is when the swap ends. Thanks for checking out my blog~

My brothers wedding

I am working on a scrapbook of my brothers wedding. In a earlier post you saw the paint can I made for them for their gift. I have taken out the names and covered their faces for protection. I used the Hannah Montana cart for the words. Pop Princess for the first letter of each word and just the shadow feature for each letter behind them and the frame for their names. Assorted ribbons and prima flowers. The Wedding cart for the basket, rings, tux, gown and crown and the cardstock is DCWV The Luxury stack. As I get more done, I will post more pics.

Thanks for checking out my blog:)

Cricut Circle stamp

Here is the stamp I made with DS to make the Cricut Circle Cricut. I used Storefront the cricut face in blackout. Circle from GBS. I will have it uploaded to the site I have my cut files on. It is on the right side of my blog under My cut files. I used a new mat to hold the material, the deepcut blade and multicut twice.

Cricut Circle

I got my welcome kit in the mail the other day and I was excited! I decided to do something for this special day. I scrapbooked the items I had received. You can barely tell but on the page that has the certificate, I stamped some cricut circle cricuts in white and pink that I had made with the DS and the Cricut stamping material. Thank you PC and I will soon be checking out my new cartridge French Manor!

Glitter always getting all over your mats? Here is my solution to stopping this.

I use alot of glittered carstock and such, but I was tired of it getting all over my cricut mat. If you are like me you know they are costly. So here is the solution I came up with. I keep the left over sheets that came with the mats, mostly for shaker boxes. Then I thought, I bet I could use them to keep gliiter from getting all over the mat. I put my cardstock on the mat, any exposed areas I had left I then covered with the sheets from the old mats. I cut them down so they would not over hang the mat. WALA!! No more glittered covered mat~

Asian Inchies quilt

 A few years ago on another site, I was in a swap to make inchies, this is when I was introduced to it. The theme was oriental/Asian. We each had to make 12 of our design. Mine is the last row second from the bottom. It did not turned out as well as I had hoped, but it was the first time. The woman then put them on cardstock like a quilt pattern. I inked the edges so it would stand out more.

The stamped images of La Tua Cantante, Bella & Edward, the lion and lamb plus words all came from dragonflycurls.etsy.com. The others from the internet, sorry I have forgoten who and where they came from. The bookmarks, I used the Twilight set from Neca for the Cullen crest. The words I like books with a little bite and My vampire can beat your werewolf any day! and the swirly filigre is from artfulinkables. com

Alter cakepan calendar

Here is a calendar I made for the swap I am in. We were to alter an item and I chose to do a cakepan. The numbers and such are magnetic. I used a font called Twilight for the numbers, months and the days. The scrapbook paper I found at biglots in a package of different kinds of papers, cardstock and matching punchouts called Crush by colorbok. I alchol inked the edges of the pan with cranberry, stream and metallic silver with a little bit of blending solution. I also did the same with the clear dvd protectors.

Thanks for checking it out!

Twilight Alice Book
