Creating with Cricut Cake Cartridges

Today I am sharing with you my second Cricut Circle project. Today is "T is for Tuesday" and I choose to focus on some fun scrapbook trends. You can see my full article on the Cricut Circle Blog. Please feel free to stop by and let me know what you think. And don't forget the blog is open to everyone until October 11th, so make sure you take the time to stop by!
I had a great time working with this photo. My photos always seem to be a major source of inspiration for me. I took this photo last summer, when I went camping with my parents and my niece. Here my mom and Emma are having a blast blowing bubbles. Emma loves camping, blowing bubbles and spending time with Grandma. So she was in heaven that weekend. I guess I should have called the LO triple the fun! LOL!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time!!!
Happy Hugs!

Creative Scrappers #124

Sketches! I love them! In fact, I usually make a quick sketch before I start working on a LO. It always helps me kind of figure out where I want things to go. They especially help me make sure that I leave room for a title and/or some journaling. I have been known to have to squeeze these in at the end when I realize I am running out of room for them! LOL! So, with all that being said, when Kristine Davidson the owner of Creative Scrappers asked me to guest design for her, I was super excited! They release a fabulous new sketch every Sunday and even have a contest each month with a great prize awarded to one lucky winner who plays along with at least one of the sketches for that month!

So without further ado, here is the sketch I got to play with...
And here is my take on it...

I also want to give a special shout out to my BFF Rachel for sharing these photos with me! They really made this sketch and LO come together! Thanks so much girlie!!!

Happy Hugs!

This is my first Cricut Circle Blog project and I am sharing it with you today! It was first posted yesterday on the Cricut Circle Blog as they introduced me as part of the new design team!
It is a altered frame/home decor piece that measures 14 x 14 inches.
You can't see all the glitter and shimmer in the photos, but the background was coated with Glimmer Mist and sections of the deer, squirrel and outer border are coated with Stickles! Aren't those 2 little critters just adorable?! I fell in love with them instantly when I first saw them!
Bling found it's way onto this project by way of the cute little trees!
I got the wooden frame at Hobbly Lobby. I painted it with white acrylic paint and then decoupaged the Doily 2 border images around the edge.
(Patterned paper and cardstock: Bo Bunny from various collections)

Thanks so much for stopping by and remember to make sure to leave a comment HERE for your chance to win a Gypsy!!!

Happy Hugs!
