I saw this idea at the two peas gallery. A lady had inserted the inside of her craft drawers with scrapbook paper. My daughter and I did the drawers in her room where she keeps all of her lip glosses etc. Next up we will make the circle tags and then I can do my craft drawers. Hey Kristi I need to borrow your crop-a-dile!
This I made for a good friend of mine who is going to be a Grandma. I hope she does not check out my blog anytime soon! If she does I hope she likes it and I hope it is a BOY! I used my Cricut software and Base Camp cartridge.
My sisters had a chance to go back to where we use to live in Texas. Wow it is amazing how a picture will take you back and flood you full of childhood memories. This was our first apartmenent (#143) in Garland, TX we lived there in 1975. I was seven years old at the time. Seeing these pictures really makes me think how important my scrapbooking is that I do for my kids. Right now they seem so so on it but looking at this picture I know that some day they will appreciate what I have made for them and they too will be flooded with childhood memories.
Okay this has nothing to do with scrapbooking and everything to do with my crazy Mom. I don't handle death well okay who does but I really really do not! So my Mom is always teasing me about the flip side. So today she calls and tells me all about these new crackers that I must try they are half cracker and half pretzel. So I go on a hunt for them. What do I come up with?? You guessed it FLIP SIDE crackers.
Too funny! I thought my Mom worked for "The Mouse" at Disney now I am beginning to think she works for "The Elves" at Keebler!
Here is my latest Cricut Project. I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut Cartridge to make these Easter themed baskets. I also used the Doodle Charm cartrige to make the bunny.
Instructions:
Cut a nut cup using cardstock and the tags, bags, boxes and more cartridge at 5.5” and using the ‘blackout feature’.
Score, fold and adhere cup closed.
Cut a strip of cardstock for handle and attach to cup using brads.
Cut a bunny from white cardstock using the doodlecharms cartridge set at 1.5”. Cut a bunny nose [shift-bunny] from pink cardstock and glue on white bunny. Cut a bunny "shadow" from a piece of coordinating cardstock and layer bunny to the shadow.
I then drew the whiskers and mouth on and then used pink chalk on the ears and cheeks. Next I attached a paper flower and brad that I had bought onto one of the bunnies ears. Finally for the eyes I glued on a couple of "googly" eyes and then attached the bunny to the basket.
I plan on giving one to each of my coworkers and one to my son's teacher.
Okay I own the fiskars paper trimmer and the Creative Memories one too. So why the provo craft one? Well it not only cuts but it has a scoring blade too! Which comes in very handy when using my Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut Cartridge. I most likely will leave the scoring blade in and use it for scoring only. I could not believe how easy things went together after using the scoring blade. Oh and the up side is it only cost $7.49! There is also one made by Cricut for the same price. But they did not sell those where I was. I am sure it works just as well as the provo craft one since Provo Craft makes the Cricut.
I joined a card swap on the cricut forum. Here are the ten cards I created. I cannot wait to get back ten more! I used doodlecharms on my cricut for the birthday hat and a stampin up stamp for the "Happy Birthday" Then I used my cuttlebug to emboss the orange paper.
Here are my Easter Pails I found at Target in the dollar spot! I LOVE them! At Hobby Lobby I found this chocolate looking bunny on sale half off. I paid $1.50 for it! What a deal!
I used my cuttlebug to emboss the orange paper and I used a stampin up stamp to stamp happy birthday and a $1 stamp from Michaels to stamp the flower. I love how the colors pop on this card and the simpleness of it all.
Well I am buggin' out! I bought a new bug! This one is the cuttlebug. It is a diecutter and embosser. I bought it to emboss with. www.creativexpress.com had it on sale for $35 they retail for $89 how can I not get one? Especially since it will compliment my cricut and my card making!
