The first project I decided to make is a dishwasher magnet. I decided my guys needed a little hint for when they should put dishes IN the dishwasher and not in the sink. Knowing the dishes in the dishwasher are dirty should prompt them to do that right?

Recipe: Love You A Latte
Shape - 3.50"
Cup - 2.50"

Storybook - Font .50"

Next, I used my grandkids' Halloween photo from 2010 to create this layout.

Recipe: Autumn Celebrations
Ship - 4.50"

Letter Envy
K & T cut at 1.50"

Threading Water punch for the border layers
Core'dinations Chocolate paper for the ship. I loved this paper. Brown on one side and red on the other and I sanded it.

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.

You can click on the photos to make them larger to see all the details

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.
Winter Frolic - Bird house
Winter Frolic - Christmas tree
Paper Trimmings - Peachy Keen Stamps - Snowman
Simply Charmed - PenguinWinter Woodland - SkateSimply Charmed - Santa

Your next stop will be at Lisa's blog where I am sure she will have something great to show you!

Happy Hopping!

Erica's Craft Room Card Creating Tuesday

Happy New Year everyone!! For today, we had our choice of using the color blue or using a Cuttlebug folder. I decided to use my Cuttlebug and to create a Thinking of You card.

The recipe for my card is:

Card base in black 4.25 x 5.50
White Cuttlebug-ed layer 4 x 5.25
Flower Shoppe - Flower on page 14 cut at 2" and glued to a pearl topped corsage pin.
Sentiment was placed on the Love You A Latte shape on key #47. Cut at 2.25"
Stamp is from Stampin Up Sincere Salutations.

I also wanted to introduce a new product that I used which was sent to me to test and critique. It is Japanese Washi Tape from Sawyer's Place. The website to check out this product is http://www.sawyersplace.bigcartel.com/ Here is a photo of the new rolls that I was sent to try.

Can you see what I did with the tape? I took strips of it and stuck it to some cardstock and then cut out the middle layer for my flower with my E2. It cut so easily and stayed stuck to the cardstock! I also used it to jazz up the ribbon on my card. I started with a wider width pink grosgrain and then put a layer of the same Washi tape on it and it looks wonderful!!

Hope you enjoyed my card today. Please remember to go back over to Erica's blog to see more cards made today by other members of our design team. We have some new members and I dont know about you but I cant wait to see what they have made!! You can visit that blog by going here: http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/
