Lady Bug S Card

Hi everyone, Today, I have a fun card to share that uses the Stamp of the Month from Stephanie Barnard - Stamps of Life. I am a club member so I receive a club stamp once a month in the mail. It costs about $12.00 a month with shipping and it's an inexpensive way to get something fun in the mail! Even if you are not a big stamper and prefer your die cutting machine, many of these stamps have some great sentiments that would work well with your diecuts. Be sure to watch the video to get the recipe and see how it all gets put together.

Hawaii Album!

Hi everyone, Today, is my day for the Cutters Creek Design Team blog post. My project today is dear to my heart, it's my family scrapbook for our summer vacation to Hawaii. I used the tutorial from Enchanted Scrapper on YouTube.
 




I used Tropical Travelogue from Graphic 45 which is retired but the new Bohemian Bazaar would make a fabulous travel album too. Some of the other products I used include stickles, scor tape (lots of scor-tape!), the Mickey Mouse and Friends and Font cartridge, Robotz, Artiste and Elegant Edges cartridges and flowers. All of these products and many similar ones can be found in the Cutters Creek store.

Winners!

Hi everyone, I am so sorry that I didn't post the winners sooner but I was in Las Vegas. I didn't win much just enough to have fun! The only downside is that the Valet broke my sister's seat. Whoever drove it put the driver side seat all the way back. When we got into it my sister could not move it back and no one there could. All of us were too short to drive it home! Luckily, purely by chance, my parents were not only in Vegas but still there when we were ready to leave. My dad was the only one who had long enough legs to drive it home. I rode with my mom in my Dad's Fit. That car has no guts and my poor mom had to floor it to get up some of those grades between Vegas and California! But we made it! My sister is borrowing my car so hopefully it will be fixed tomorrow. I also forgot to mention that my sister is six months pregnant so those poor valets who were there tried extra hard to fix it! Now onto the winners: Cricut Package: Janet (anonymous) Stamp Package Patti I will be emailing you both so please get back to me asap so that I can mail your prize! Pin It Now!

Noteworthy Event Mini Album

Hi everyone, I have a not so mini mini album to share. I say not so mini because it is quite large. I used the Sophistication tutorial and kit from Kathy Orta at Paper Phenomenon. I gave it to my daughter's preschool teacher as a end of the year gift. Be sure to watch the video to get all of the details.

FCCB #169 Set the Scene

#169 Set the Scene

Hi everyone, It's Monday which means it's time for another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge! This week's challenge is to create a scene. It can be an indoor or outdoor scene, such as a beach scene of the inside of a room like a baby's room. I chose to do a "home sweet home" scene. Be sure to watch the video to get the recipe and see how it all gets put together.




I even gave this card to someone. Yay me! My brother and his wife just moved into a new house so this was the perfect card. And... gasp, I decorated the inside too!
Thanks so much for visiting today. Be sure to visit the FCCB blog and join the challenge!

 I had a hard time getting in the mood because I've just been doing so many Hawaii projects. I finally decided that a Christmas Planner would be a fun project, plus its useful!

 
 

 
I also made a tutorial. There are 4 videos because I tried to keep them all around 10 minutes so they wouldn't take all day to load!







 
 
Be sure to visit the Cutters Creek store to get the products that I used today.

In the video, I show an example made with Echo Park Very Merry but I think Holly Jolly and Season's Greetings would be awesome to use too!
