Hi everyone! Today was the baby shower I was hosting at work and boy am I tired! But I promised I would get on and draw winners, so here I am :)
The winner of the original prize for over 500 is #114 Elisha! She said:
Congratulations!! You are now at 600 followers. Very cool!! Can't wait to see more projects.
I will be contacting you at the email you left and send this out as soon as I can!
So since this candy started, I hit 600 followers!! Thanks again everyone! So I decided to draw another winner for some different candy. I thought I would have had time to shop for all of it and let you know, but it was a busy week. I do have one or two things, but this one will have to be a surprise!! So the surprise prize :) goes to # 79 IRW Dana!! She said:
Congrats on the followers. I check your blog regularly but now I'm a follower too. Thanks for the inspiration you share.
I also will be contacting you at the email you left and send it out after I finish shopping--LOL!
Thanks everyone for all your sweet comments and I'm sure I'll have some more giveaways soon! And I'll get back some regular posting now that my big event is over :)

Crazy Busy Week!
Hi everyone! I know I was supposed to draw 2 winners for my blog candy today, but I'm hosting a baby shower at work tomorrow and this week has just been crazy because of it. I will pick and post Thursday night.
So I think I have everything ready to take in. Here's a picture of my 1st every diaper cake. I have always wanted to make one!
I used the blackout feature for all the cuts from New Arrival. I'm not sure of the sizes--I'll have to post that part with the rest of the things I made tomorrow or the next day. I'm beat, so I'm off to bed for tonight!

Wow!!
Hi everyone! Sorry I don't have anything to show you today. I made 2 cards last night but they are Design Team projects so you'll see one on Monday and the other on Tuesday. And today, I had to leave the house too early for a Saturday so my daughter could take the ACT test through the Duke TiP program. It seemed like such a good idea until we had to get up early--LOL! So half my day was shot. The rest of the day was just wasted since I started to feel run down.
But, I am now at 600 followers---WOW! Thanks everyone!! I promise I'll get back to more regular posting--it's just been a busy few weeks.
Since I hit another milestone, I am going to draw 2 winners from my Blog Candy post. Make sure to comment on that post to be eligible. I'm not sure what that prize will totally be yet, but I did pick up some good deals at JoAnns while my daughter was test taking. I'll let you all know the prize when I draw the winners!!
Have a great rest of the weekend! I do hope to post a project on Sunday unless I feel worse.

My Pink Stamper Blog Hop
Welcome to the My Pink Stamper Blog Hop!! If you started here, please make sure to go back to the beginning at My Pink Stamper so you can get all the Key Words so you can play along. This first hop is for Robyn to introduce her 2011 Design Team. She asked us to give you all a short bio of ourselves.
I started out scrapbooking 12 years ago. My friends talked me into joining Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator, but I wasn't very good at selling :) I got my baby Cricut for Christmas in 2007 and upgraded to my Pink Cricut Expression in May of 2010; the Gyspy came in June that same year. I mostly make cards right now, but love scrapbooking and really need to get back to that, so hopefully, you will see more pages from me in the future. I am so honored and excited that Robyn asked me to be on her Design Team again this year!! I LOVE her stamps and can't wait to see what else she has in store for all of us!!
Now, on to the blog hop!! If you just came from Lori at Live Laugh Scrap you're on the right track! Make sure to read all the way to the end for your key word to play along :)
Here are the details on the card:
If you leave a comment here, you'll be entered to win a set of Robyn's stamps. Please leave one comment and a way for me to contact you. One winner will receive her Love-alicious set!! (Thanks Robyn!) I'll leave this open until Sunday night at 9pm.
Your Key Word to collect is IN. Now your next stop on the hop is Agnes at Flowerdisco's Scrap Hut. I'm sure she'll have something wonderful, as always to show you! Have fun and I hope you play along :)

A little birdie told me....
Hi everyone! We have had quite a cold, snowy/icy week here. I am finally back at work today after having 4 days off which is a bit of a bummer since my kids are still off. But then I get a three day weekend so I really should not complain :)

Winter Wonderland Frame
Hi everyone! We are on Snow Day #4 here in GA. I supposed to go back to work tomorrow but 2 hours late. Then I get 3 more days off. What a crazy time it's been here! But at least it's supposed to be warm and I should be able to get out and about finally--LOL!
I made this for a challenge for the Circle Blog. I am really tired of snow, but I had to use white paint, metal and a snowflake--Ugg! I have some snow pictures from Christmas that would be great for this, but our mail delivery was delayed 2 days and they haven't come yet. Here are the details:

- Winter Wonderland cut at 2 inches and Snowflake cut at 3 inches from Wrap It Up
- The frame is wooden and came from a kit I had never put together so I painted it white. The metal part is a book plate that came with the kit.
- Bazzill Basics paper in Baby Blue Dark and Caribbean Breeze
- Recollections Rhinestore Sticker--I cut pieces off to add to the frame
- Frosted Lace & Baby Blue Stickles
- iRock Gems

Dishwasher Magnets
Hi everyone! Today I have dishwasher magnets to show you. No one in our house can figure out if the dishwasher is clean or dirty. Half the time, they don't bother putting their dishes in anyway--LOL! We've been using a magnetic chip clip with a ratty piece of paper that I wrote clean on to let everyone know it's time to empty. My husband said before Christmas that I need to use my Cricut and make something nicer. So I finally did yesterday (Snow Day #2).
It was super easy and I can't wait to cut more magnets out for decorations!! That's after we are not snowed/iced in and I can go to the store again--LOL!
Don't forget that My Pink Stamper is having a blog hop this Friday night at 9pm Central --that's 10pm Eastern, 8pm Mountain, 7pm Pacific. This is her first monthly hop introducing her new My Pink Designers so make sure to hop along!!
Here are the details:
- From My Kitchen Cartridge--Ovals cut at 3 1/2 inches; Silverware cut at 1 3/4 inches
- Alphalicious letters cut at 2 1/4 inches
- 5 x 8 inch Adhesive Magnetic Sheeting (I used two of these)
- TCP Studio So Delish Toast & Pear Delight Patterned paper
- Bazzill Basics Paper in Suede Brown Medium and Caribbean Breeze
- Zip Dry Glue
I cut the magnet material out with the Deep Blade x's 4. Then I cut the patterned paper out from the same cut and just stuck it on since the magnetic was adhesive. I used the Zip Dry Glue to stick everything on for a better hold.

You're a Great Catch!
Hi everyone!
We're waiting for a snow and ice storm here in GA tonight into tomorrow, so I hope to have an extra day at home to create!
Here's a card I made with Simply Charmed and a My Pink Stamper stamp. I knew as soon as I saw the caught fish on the cartridge that Robyn had made the perfect stamp to go with it :)
Here are the details:
I think I might start to try to make videos--what do you think? I'm really not sure I'll like the way I sound on it, but I'm going to try to borrow my daughter's Flip she got for Christmas and test it out soon!

#1 Star
Hi everyone! I've bought my domain name and my blog link will change in the next day or two. It will be CraftingCricutMom.com--which is way shorter now--LOL!
Here's a card for this week's Circle challenge. We had to make a shape, other than a rectantagle, use a number on there and bling.
Here are the details:
I'm hanging today and hope to get some more creating done. But I had to take the puppy out at 5am and hit the barrier for her at the bottom of the stairs pretty hard. I have a nasty bump and cut on my leg--it's not pretty. But at least I can walk a little better now.
I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!! I have to go back to work tomorrow :(
