#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:

• Smiley Cards Star shape card cut at 5 1/2 inches
• Graphically Speaking for top star cut at 5 inches
• Hannah Montana #1 cut at 7 inches
• DCWV Flower Power cardstock
• Yellow Stickles
• Yellow iRock gems

It was super simple to put together! 

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 :(

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge--AChoo!

Hi everyone!  Today is my 1st DT post for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  I am so excited to be part of this wonderful team :)

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

Hi everyone!  You might remeber that I am now on the Design Team at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  I haven't had my 1st post there yet (it's next Monday), but wanted to tell everyone to go over and play along.  They have wonderful prizes and a fun challenge every week!

The challenge this week is to use a circle and the color green.  What better cartridge to use that Smiley Cards :)  All the cuts for this card came from that cartridge. Here are the details:

• Card base cut at 5 inches
• Party Smiley and pieces cut at 4 inches
• Envelope cut at 5 3/4 inches
• Pattern cirlce cut at 4 1/2 inches
• My Pink Stamper Everyday Life stamp
• Fruit Punch and Frosted Lace Stickles
• i Rock gems
• pop dots

To cover the hole in the envelope, I used some clear plastic that a embossing folder came in.  I'm still hoping they come out with an online booklet for this cartridge, at least.  I had to re-cut the cheeks in pink since I had done those cuts in green. 

Saturday Smiles on Sunday

I thought I would start making something from the new Smiles cartridge every Saturday.  Well, yesterday we had 2 soccer games, and we actally have one more today.  I was so tired, that I fell asleep very early!  But I thought I would just post it today anyhow.

This is the guitar from the last button on the last row.  I thought I would go in reverse.  Here are the details:

• Guitar, shadow and parts cut at 4 inches
• You Rock! from My Pink Stamper Friends and Family set
• Swirly Pattern Paper
• Lilac Twine from The Twinery
• Black, Pink and Red Stickles

There doesn't seem to be a glasses cut for this so I filled in with the black stickles.  And I added the twine for strings for the guitar.  This is such a cute cartridge!

A Smiley Banana

I took the day off since my kids didn't have school so I could sleep in a little.  That just hasn't been happening on weekends either with all the 9 am games.

So I was able to cut out this card and envelope from the Smiley Cards Cartridge this morning.  Everything is from Smiley Cards.  The card and envelope were cut at 5 1/2 inches.  I think the card needs to be a bit smaller to fit in the envelope though :)  But that is the biggest size I could cut the envelope on a 12 x 12 mat. 

The banana and all it's parts was cut at 4 inches. I did not know what the little parts were for, so cut them all in the same color.  There was one that was the tounge, but it was the same color at the lips, so I just added pink stickles for that instead.

I finished it off with gold stickles for the eyes, a little ribbon and inking, and a My Pink Stamper Punny-licious stamp.

A Smiley Card

I was able to get the Gypsy carts download last night--WooHoo!  I LOVE being a Circle Member.  So I had to try out cutting something from the Smiley Cartridge.  I really would love a handbook so I know what the heck I'm doing.

I think this ice cream has some cheeks to cut out.  But, my Gypsy was going red and I wasn't feeling great (but had to finish!) so I improvised with i Rock gems.  I also added them for the eyes.  I added eyebrows with a marker because the pattern paper ripped just a bit and looked white, so I tried to fix it.

This is cut at 3 inches and only the base and the ice cream.  I also used a white pen for the stitching, MS Loopy edge punch and some pink ribbon.  The card is a bit smaller at 5 x 4 inches, I think.  The stamp is from My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns.

This looks to be a really fun cartridge!!!
