CWC #70 – What’s yellow, has polka dots and it’s not a card?

Hi everyone!  This week at CWC you have to make something that is NOT a card, it has to have yellow and polka dots.  Now, let’s just start by saying my polka dots are not traditional polka dots, but they make these cute little flowers, but just in case I picked a cut from the cricut that had some polka dots cut into and I doodle around them. As soon as the gals posted the challenge I knew I was going to make a bookmark.  Why?  Well, because I needed one, using my daughter’s bookmark didn’t seem right while reading a romance novel.  LOL!!!

CWC #69- Staying Warm…

This week’s hostesses for CWC #69 are: Heather and Linda.  The ladies decided on a “Stay Warm” theme… Here we finally need to stay warm the temps have dropped to single digits tonight.  Winter is FINALLY here… LOL!!! I made two cards for this week, I know a bit of an over achiever… LOL!!!

It was my niece’s birthday last week and I know how much she would have loved to have gotten some snow for xmas, so since that didn’t happen… we are sending her some…

I am not a big fan of these Sesame street or Disney cartridges because they are a pain to cut and put together, but I kind of like how it turned out… and yes, I think Elmo might be a bit color blind… check out that pattern combination he is wearing… OUCH…

The second card is apparently a portrait of my daughter… LOL! Check it out… LOL!!!!

CWC #68: Be inspired!

This week at Cooking with Cricut is all about inspiration!  This picture from justbesplendid.tumblr.com is ours for this week.  I was completely enamored of it.  It’s calming, beautiful and unique.  I remembered seeing this adorable nest with eggs in a cartridge and I knew that was the cut I HAD to use.

Happy Angry Bird Xmas to you too~

Here is what happen when I showed Bianca (my 5yr old) this tag shaped card.

  • ME: (thinking to myself: gosh this little fat baby cardinal looks so cute!)
  • BIANCA: Hey, mommy what are you doing?
  • ME: I just made this cute birdie.
  • B: Cute “angry bird”, he is just like the one in your phone.
I had to laugh at her comment, because he kind of looks like the angry bird.  So to all those angry birds lovers here I give you the xmas cricut version.  LOL!!

CWC – Day 14 Holiday cards, gifts and tags. easy last minute ideas

Day 14 Holiday cards, gifts and tags. easy last minute ideas @ Cooking With Cricut & Paper Crafting World.  I did a search in my Gypsy and found this cute tag in my Birthday bash cartridge.  I really like it, but of course my cricut decided not to cut through the cardstock.  My fix for that was to distress it to my hearts content.  :)
