Would You Ever Guess Wednesday - Ericas Craft Room

Hello!! Today for my design team post, I created something that we call a Would You Ever Guess Wednesday project. That means on Wednesdays, we make something from our cartridges that only uses the function buttons on the overlays. It means not using the main image shown for a button but one of the other images shown. We also can use a Cake cartridge to make a paper project.

I decided to use my go to cartridge, Art Philosophy for my card shape using the Card function button. This came from page 37 in the AP handbook. I cut it at 4.25" I also cut another card at 3.75" from the flowered paper and then cut at the score line to create the top layer for my card.

Next I chose to use the Cricut American Alphabet cartridge that came with my E2 to cut the sentiment Thank You. I also cut a shadow. Both of these cuts came from page 63 of the handbook and used the Font 3 and the Font 3 Shadow buttons.

To complete the card, I added some doodling with my white Signo Uniball pen and then added the crocheted butterfly. I ordered these handmade elements from a lady on the Cricut.com message board. She also made some cute flowers in assorted colors for me.

Hope you enjoyed my WYEGW card. Please also visit Erica's blog to see the projects posted by my fellow design team sisters.

Erica's Craft Room 100 Cartridge Blog Hop - Day Two

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop

You should have come here from Laura's blog. If not, you will want to start at the beginning with Erica at Http://MyCricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

For today's hop in my continuing effort to create more layouts, I have created this one using four different cartridges. Isn't my granddaughter just so adorable in her tap outfit for her recital? They performed a dance for Little Bunny Foo Foo. Now she is also in ballet and I can't wait to see this year's recital that will happen in May.

Here is the recipe I used to create this layout:

Twinkle Toes - little girl Image #2 cut at four inches. I used my Gypsy's hide contour feature to hide the face. I also cut her hair down on the top. She had a huge amount of hair! I used the extra parts cut off to make her hair longer in the back to mirror Taylor's hair. I also used a marker to add dimension to the hair. I added detailing to her dress with my white Signo Uniball pen and added a ribbon so the little paper doll matches Taylor's outfit. The face is a Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kids stamp. I colored in her eyes with the white pen and added chalk to her cheeks.

American Alphabet - I cut the rabbit at 3.50: and then cut his ears off to make the bunny ears for the little paper doll. I cut this twice - in pink and in white and pieced them together until I got the desired result.

Shall We Dance - The word "Dance" and its shadow cut at 1.25
The word "Recital" and its shadow cut at 1.50

Love You A Latte - Pink layer cut at 7.25 x 4
Green layer cut at 7.50 x 4
Again, I used my Gypsy to alter the shape on cut #7. It originally was more squared and I stretched it so my words would fit. I also hid the cupcake.

For this month, I also am still trying to finish my advent calendar so it will be all ready for next Christmas. I know many of you asked me to show pictures of the rest of the pages. I am still working on getting pages 19 - 25 done. Here are photos of pages 13 - 18. I will post the rest as soon as I get time to finish it.

My Cricut Craft Room's October 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop Day ONE

My Cricut Craft Room's October 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop Day ONE

Welcome to our October Blog Hop! If you came to visit from Jen’s blog, then you are in the right spot. If you just happened to come to visit and didn’t start at the beginning, then please go to . Erica’s – http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

I don’t want you to miss out on any of the fabulous projects that will be posted today. Erica has blog candy if you stop by and comment on all the blogs in the line up. Also check back on her blog again tomorrow as the other half of our design team will be participating the the Blog Hop – Day TWO!

Ok, are you ready to get started? I have three projects to show you today. The first one is a birthday card that I created for my great nephew’s birthday. He just turned 13 and he is on the track team. I used my Sports Mania cartridge to complete it. I began by choosing to make the background with my Cri-kits pens. Next I cut the runner out of chipboard and cardstock and cut it at 3 inches. The shirt was cut twice so I could pop it up to add dimension. The inside sentiment said “Hope you are on track to have your happiest birthday ever!”

My next project is one that I really loved! My niece shares her birthday with her 13 year old cousin for which I made the track card. She loves girly things so I found this wonderful pink zebra printed paper and zebra print ribbon at Hobby Lobby. I used Forever Young to cut the shoes out at 4 inches. I wanted to add some extra texture so I also created little tiny pinwheels to put on where the flowers normally go. To top it off, I added pink rhinestones. The sentiment on the inside said “Kick up your heels and have a great birthday!”

The last project is a layout of my Mom and Mother In Law that was taken this summer. I loved this photo so much. I still need to add a title to the layout so I would love to have some suggestions on what it should be. I used my Cricut American Alphabet that came pre-loaded on my E2 for the doilies behind the photo. The top note shape was cut using my Gypsy (because I wanted a silhouette and not a solid shape) and was cut at 6 inches from the Create A Critter cartridge. The cut little flowers came from the Cherry Limeade Lite cartridge and I cut them at 2.5 and 2 inches. I also ran them through my Cuttlebug and then sanded the cardstock so that the polka dots showed up better. I love the Core’dinations paper. It really works great in the Cricut! The leaves came from yet another cartridge which I forgot to write down (oops sorry!)

Hope you like the projects I have posted. Since hops are way more fun when there is candy involved, I am doing a small giveaway. All you need to do is be a follower and leave a comment with a way to reach you. If you saw my post from Thursday, already know that I am giving away the cute little Cricut jar that I made for Thursday theme day. I will add some little goodies inside of it too! Commenting will end on Sunday night, October 2nd at 11 PM. I will try to pick a winner no later than Tuesday morning.
