I have to admit since I got my Cameo my little cricut has been collecting dust, so I made it a challenge to myself to get in there and create something for today .... boy was it interesting LOL I forgot how to do layers!! But thank goodness I am smart (well not really) and was able to figure it out to make this little puppy:

look at him isn't he adorable!! I love create a critter is my FAVORITE!!!

Well that was FUN, when was the last time you used your cricut? I have so many cartridges I really need to get in there and use it more often. Now that I sort of got the hang of it again I am gonna try and use it more often so I don't forget LOL 

Now head on over to Sandy's Blog and check out her creation.

Cooking with Cricut Blog Hop - Crops of Luv

Welcome to the second day of Cooking with Cricut Crops of Luv Blog Hop. This month our designers chose to create layouts for the Crops of Luv Organization. If you came here from Lynden's Elegant Touch then you are in the right place, if you need to start from the beginning, then just head over to CWC.

Crops of Luv works hand-in-hand with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and creates scrapbooks for families who have children facing life-threatening illnesses. Our hop will focus on creating 12 x 12 Scrapbook double page LOs using these themes: Princesses, Pirates, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Summer Fun (e.g. swimming), Christmas or general Disney themes.

Crops of Luv has some specific guidelines for the layouts. They need to include a journaling block or tag and mats for 3 4 x 6 pictures on each page. They also do not want the photo mats permanently adhered to the page. That way they can flip them whichever way they need to.

We hope you will enjoy our creations! We would love for you to participate. You can make a two-page layout following the parameters outlined above and mail it directly to Crops of Luv c/o Roberta Baker, 11424 S. Pawnee Circle, Phoenix, AZ 85044. Since this blog hop is also a challenge, be sure to link your project to CWC/PCW.

If you would like more information about this organization, or would like to make a monetary or supply donation, please visit their web site, www.cropsofluv.com.

For my project I created a girlie layout using CREATE A CRITTER:

For my journaling tags created some secret tabs that would allow them to journal and insert the tags under the picture mats.I used ribbon and the sea shell as the tabs to pull out the tags.


 Please join us in this challenge as we support the efforts of CROPS OF LUV.

Now head on over to:  Evelyn's blog and check out what she has made for this great cause!

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for another layout.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Cooking with Cricut Challenge #94

Welcome to another challenge at Cooking with Cricut! Today we bring you this month's edition of I FEEL THE LOVE PROJECT which this month is partnering up with Sheffield Place in Kansas City to bring smiles to the kids at this homeless shelter. If you too would like to donate cards for this worthy cause, please stop by CWC homepage and find out how you can also bring a smile to one of these kids. 

For my project I was inspired by the trendy zebra patters I keep seeing everywhere!

For my card I used the create a critter zebra as the main theme of my card. I decorated with bordered paper, ribbons and bling!! For the sentiment I used Jadded Blossom's make-a-wish stamps.

I also added a cute little flower also from create a critter to the inside. I like to add a little something to the inside of the card, it makes them more fun! Thank you for stopping by today and feel free to join us for this weeks challenge!

The cute little dino is from the create a critter cartridge. I used my cuttle bug to emboss and washi tape, ribbons and buttons to decorate. The inside reads: you're Dino-mite!!

#78 Spring Song Inspired Challenge

Another challenge day over at Cooking with Cricut !! This time we got to create using a spring song as our inspiration. This is what I came up with:

I was inspired by the song "Here comes the Sun" I just kept singing it in my head (ok ok I did it out loud too  .... in private only lol). My cute little sun is from Create a critter. I used the base a little skewd to make it look more dimensional and more sunshiny. Simple yet it screams warmth, which we are not having very much of in northern cali. But at least it warms my heart to see such a pretty sun. 

Have a wonderful day bloggy friends!
