Today I a sharing a project for Erica's <a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/">My Cricut Craft Room</a>, and today's theme is Flowers!<br />
<br />
I have been making a few new projects that you will get to see soon, but I have been very busy with my ornaments. Have you seen them yet? <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ScrapgoodsByBrat?ref=si_shop">Check them out here in my Etsy Shop</a>!<br />
<br />
I made a whole bunch of these this summer and I thought it would be fun to share something a little out of the box with you today.<br />
<br />
I used Mother's Day Bouquet to make the fabric cuts for this, but you could use any scalloped circle cut that you have.<br />

I didn't take pictures of the process, but it's pretty simple to do.<br />
<br />
The first step is to prepare your fabric for cutting. Most people suggest you do so by using Wonder-Under to stiffen up the fabric before cutting. It also keeps the fabric in place while its being cut on your mat. I cut four in one size (toy with the sizes that you like best but know that the largest one you make will be about the size of your overall flower), then three in a slightly smaller size.<br />
<br />
I cut a small piect of circular felt and hot glued the pieces fown after folding each piece in half twice. For the larger pieces you are recreating the circular shape. Do the same with the smaller pieces, but you are doing this just to fill it in more.<br />
<br />
Finish it in the center and voila! In the polka dot one, I chose to make an extra 1-size smaller cut (smaller than the second layer) to make my center... didn't fold it, just kind of bunched it before hot gluing it down.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed today's project and I hopoe to see you back soon!heatherhammenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09109210676200447759noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6475329083343563663.post-69667309119503713982011-12-13T23:48:00.001-05:002011-12-15T02:47:42.037-05:0025 DAYS OF CHISTMAS!

Today I am sharing with you actual ornaments I've made. No tutorial here, just lots of pictures. I have these for sale on my Etsy page, so reach out to me if you are interested. I highly suggest if you choose to make them on your own that you have a supply pf glitter and glossy vinyl on hand. The matte indoor vinyk does not seem to work well with curved objects.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'll be sharing two projects with you. Our theme today was "Animals". I have a really cute page from a scrapbook album I wanted to share with you. I'm sure that you'll be seeing a lot of Create a Critter today, but I wanted to highlight these two pups along side a tree from Heritage. The idea is that the tree will include names of the family and the dogs will also be represented as members of the family too. The paper is DCWV.</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table> My second project to show you today is one I have been wanting to try for a while... Long before my three year old mastered the game, I developed a slight addiction to the game Angry Birds. I'm the type of "gamer" though, that once I beat all of the levels I'm done with the game. My sone, however, plays it constantly. He loves "Ang-y Birds". His Haloween pumpkin was an "Ang-y" Bird, and I searched like mad to find toddler sized Angry Bird apparel (they don't make it... I had to have one custom done..!) Anyway, as I began to make ornaments using my Cricut this year an awesome idea popped in my head. Their design is simple, and I'd bet I can make it out of George. Well (forgive me for this one....) BY GEORGE I CAN!<br />
<br />
Here is a screen shot of what the cuts look like on CCR:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> The larger circle was supposed to be his underbelly. I was using scraps. Up until now, I had been using glossy outdoor vinyl. This was the first WHITE Cricut brand indoor vinyl I had used on an ornament. It did not work well. The contour of an ornament needs plyability which you get with the ourdoor glossy stuff. Not so much so with the matte indoor.<br />
<br />
Anyway.... the final product:<br />

If you haven't caught on to the craze that is Pinterest - be forewarned. It is the equivalent of internet crack. Especially for crafters and DIY'ers... so I'm just saying. You've been warned.<br />
<br />
Anyway - I saw both parts of this Pinterest.com and I'm excited to share it with you! So, you know those Christmas coundown calendars? Well this one, allows you to change the event to anything... vacation, birthday, concert - whatever! <br />
<br />
So first thing's first.... chalkboard paint.. you have a few options...chalkboard spray paint, pre-made chalkboard paint in a variety of colors at yor local craft store, or you can do what I did and MAKE YOUR OWN!!! All you need is a little bit of Non Sanded Grout from your local hardware store. A decent sized can only cost me $3 and the ratio is 1.5 tsp powder to 1/4 cup paint. Thats it. Mix and paint. The KEY is priming your chalkboard after the paint is dry. Take some chalk and run it all over the board.... give it a good coat and then wipe it all off. Then voila! Chalkboard!<br />
<br />
Next step is the vinyl. I designed "Days Until" using Songbird on Cricut Craft Room, welding the letters together and then cut them out on a beige colored vinyl. Adhere to the board, then decorate with chalk : )<br />
<br />

Pictures below are what we put together. Simplu cut from large pieces of vinyl - no alterations here.

</div>Welcome to the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop, hosted my <a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/">My Cricut Craft Room</a>! You should have been sent to my page by the fabulous and talented <a href="http://myimagitivity.blogspot.com/">Jenny R's</a> Blog. If you didn't, please see the blog line up at the bottom of this page and start from the beginning. There are TWO days and over 100 cartridges featured! You won't want to miss a thing!<br />
<br />
Today I will be showing you projects made using Tie the Knot, Songbird, and Create a Critter.<br />
<br />
Did you know about the fabulous Monogram font that comes with Tie the Knot? Well, I used Cricut Craft Room (CCR) to create a monogram ornament for a friend. I like the look of script much better when writing out a name or using just one letter, so I chose the Songbird font for some of the other ornaments. I cut them from different colors of adhesive vinyl which I purchased on ebay, and I also cut several small circles - to save time later I cut about 30 small circles out of red, green, white, black, and metalic pink vinyl so that I would have them on hand for other ornaments.<br />
<br />
Here is how they turned out after some robbon embelishments:<br />

The other project I would like to show to you today is using a modified own on Create a critter - that owl is so cute but her eyes are closed! I had a friend ask if I could make her owl themed birthday invitations for her daughter's birthday. This is the design I came up with:<br />

I'd show you the back, but I don't have a picture of a genericinvite without the family's personal information and I'd like to respect their privacy.<br />

Before I get into my project, please make sure that after you check it out you head back to Erica's page to see the other fantastic projects my DT sisters have been up to... and in December its going to be CRAZY with as many as 25 Christmas Projects A DAY!<br />
<br />
The project that I wanted to share involves an alteration of an intended design from Life's a Party, and how I took this....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YdOQkSz8A20/Tta35sEEjnI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/IkM8eZWl1rM/s1600/book.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="277" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YdOQkSz8A20/Tta35sEEjnI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/IkM8eZWl1rM/s320/book.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
To this....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8ymoqMgsRM/Tta383781pI/AAAAAAAAAfY/Sv8oQOfsPkU/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8ymoqMgsRM/Tta383781pI/AAAAAAAAAfY/Sv8oQOfsPkU/s400/1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
First, it involves Cricut Craft Room (CCR) - if you haven't started playing with this new and FABULOUS and FREE tool from Provo Craft, you are seriously missing out (that is if you aren't already addicted to your DS or Gypsy *wink*). It allows you to design, redesign, alter, and combine cartridge images to get JUST the look you are going after. I wanted to make a door sign to match the other party decor I had created (more to share later)l, and when I saw the map I knew that it was my pefect "backdrop". <br />
<br />
Using CCR I altered the size of the map to make sure I gave myself the maximum amount of space to include my writing. I didn't want to alter too much and mmake it unrelative or things would begin to distor a bit on the edges I thought, so I kept it simple and adjusted it to an overall 11" height which maximized my paper space. <br />
<br />
The top layer of the map is the one with all of the map-like cut outs. They needed to go. Simple! I clicked the "Hide Contour" button and when you move your mouse over the images they turn red. whatever is red, if you click on it, that is what will be removed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-feRm2KjM0hs/Tta6NfMESfI/AAAAAAAAAfg/OMrZqcL9gvI/s1600/map.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-feRm2KjM0hs/Tta6NfMESfI/AAAAAAAAAfg/OMrZqcL9gvI/s320/map.png" width="283" /></a></div>I just removed all of the little dots and marks that made up the map to clear my space for writing.<br />
<br />
Then I used George to write up the sign. I wanted to make it easy on myself, so instead of cutting out the letters and gluing each to the sign, I cut them OUT of the top layer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I15CUs8O4tM/Tta7BQck6hI/AAAAAAAAAfo/FRkBvFz5cKI/s1600/sign.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-I15CUs8O4tM/Tta7BQck6hI/AAAAAAAAAfo/FRkBvFz5cKI/s320/sign.png" width="316" /></a></div>Once cut, I had to glue in the negative spaces of the o's r's b's, etc, but that was a lot less work then having to perfectly line up and glue down all of these letters.<br />
<br />
So, in the end you have the finished project shown at the top. I finished it off with some Walnut ink to age it and accented it with the matching image from the cupcake toppers and banners.<br />
<br />

Two posts in a row! I'm out of control!<br />
<br />
Today's post is part of Erica's My Cricut Craft Room's Card Creating Sunday. Please make sure to check out her blog today to see the other fantastic creations my Design Team sisters have created to share with you!<br />
<br />
So.... I'm not a big card maker. I'll MAKE them, but I'm more of a scrapbooker. But with all of the incredible toys I have at my disposal, buying cards at the store seems like a silly thing to do. Not to mention, my family sees me make projects and things for others all of the time. I want them to know that they are worthy of my time and effort on a hand made project too.<br />
<br />
My Husband? He's a MAJOR card guy. He'll spend hours picking out just the right card, that says just the right thing - they matter a lot to him - what the cards say, whether its funny or serious each card has a point that comes from his heart. Not just cards for me either - he's like that for anyone he buys a card for.... they LOVE him at the Halmark store : )<br />
<br />
So for our 5th anniversary, I wanted to make him something that was meaningful, something he would appreciate. I used Sophisticated to cut a 5 in black and a white shadow at around 4.5". Then I used a punch to make the black arrow which points down and placed ot on a damask paper (Recollections) with a blue band (these were the colors used in our wedding). So, the front of the card reads, "Five Down". Inside I wrote, "and forever to go." I listed at the top of the card my five favorite things about being married to him - some funny some serious, all true : ) <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uVF0an7Qvi8/Tr4QIOvfGLI/AAAAAAAAAe4/HWVRtfDnS-A/s1600/100_6481.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" nda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uVF0an7Qvi8/Tr4QIOvfGLI/AAAAAAAAAe4/HWVRtfDnS-A/s400/100_6481.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
This card idea could be incorporated for any anniversary year and could be done with or without the list. I thank you for taking the time to read my story today and check out my card - you make my day when you stop by!!<br />
<br />
Have a great day today!heatherhammenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09109210676200447759noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6475329083343563663.post-80792779153471700162011-11-12T01:07:00.000-05:002011-11-12T01:07:46.799-05:00Tween Mini AlbumHere's a shocker for you - I'm about to share ANOTHER mini - yep.

If you are here for the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop, hosted my <a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/">My Cricut Craft Room</a>! Welcome!!! You should have been sent to my page by the fabulous and talented <a href="http://www.scrappininthewoods.blogspot.com/">Tracy</a>'s Blog. If you didn't, please see the blog line up at the bottom of this page and start from the beginning. There are TWO days and over 100 cartridges featured! You won't want to miss a thing!<br />
<br />
Now! On to my project. I am really proud of this, for two reasons - it was hard. AND it was the first time I had "designed" a book. I used Cricut Craft Room to weld words and blocks together to make different length pages, then sized the layered words to fit. I used the Cars cartridge for this project, and I have a few pointers for working with this:<br />
<ul><li>The designers who made this cartridge were brilliant. The characters really come to life as you piece them together. Save yourself the step of cutting out pieces in black and simply use a black background. Use a pen to mark in extra spaces if needed.</li>
<li>The larger the cuts the better, mine were cut at 2.5 inches (Mater was cut at 4.5) and I did not find the pieces too small to work with, but I could see how some could.</li>
<li>Use chalk and glitter glue for small pieces instead of cutting them out.</li>
<li>avoid using thick "premium" paper. I actually found that my cheapest, thinnest card stock cut the best for these itty bitty pieces!</li>
<li>Have PATIENCE!</li>
</ul>Here you go - enjoy the pictures, and thank you for blessing me with your time today! I can't wait to see what everyone else has to share today!! <br />

Wow! A blog hop to make you clean your room! Now THIS was something I needed to get involved in!!! What a fun idea! I first want to thank Susan P for presenting this idea as I'm sure we'll all get a lot of great ideas today as we hop from room to room!<br />
<br />
I feel that I should say though, that my room is fairly misrepresented here... it NEVER looks this clean. I am a MESSY scrapper. I throw stuff on the floor, I toss things around as I go, and when its that way, I can find EVERYTHING! When it's this way? I'll LOSE everything ; )<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of my room, beneith some of the pictures, you will find either small bits of information about what you see, or organizational tips I thought might be helpful to share. Thank you, as always, for taking the time to see me today - I am excited about the new friends I might make from today's hops and the new ideas I might get from all of this sharing!!<br />

This week's page is about my son, Alex. My goodness is he silly. And the kid won;t sit still for a picture, if he does, he's making a face. And I'm ALWAYS catching him in the act of doing goofy stuff like what is captured in these pictures. Letters are cut using Opposites attract (silly) , Ashlyn's Alphabet (quirky), and Alphalicious (happy, fun).<br />

Welcome to Scrapbook Saturday hosted by <a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/2011/10/scarpbook-saturday-october-22-2011.html">Erica's Cricut Craft Room</a>! If you came here because you are one of my followers, please stop back at Erica's page and check out the other fabulous pages from my Design Team Sisters! Erica also offers AWESOME deals on Cricut Cartridges... check out her shop by <a href="http://www.shop.ericascraftroom.com/">clicking here</a> : )<br />
<br />
Here is my page I wanted to share with all of you today. This was made for my honeymoon album chronicling our time on the amazing island of Oahu, Hawaii. I really wanted to show you these two pages to show off those hula girls. Aren't they CUTE!!!?!?!! LOVE them! Also, I wanted to share an idea about what I did with the tropical flowers for this book. I made a large number of cuts from several different sheets of patterned paper (all from the same book for consistency), and then just put them all together at random - different flower tops with bottoms, different papers, one with another - just whatever I thought looked good. I made tons of them and then used them as embellishments at will throughout the book, helping me to create a consistent theme. You'll see on one of the pictures at the end, that I used several flowers layered together to make a page border.<br />

Welcome to Would You Ever Guess Wednesday! The day of the week where we, the member's of Erica's<a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/"> My Cricut Craft Room</a> Design Team, create projects using nothing but the creative features on our cartridges, helping you find the full value of the catridges we all love to spend out hard earned cash on : ) Once you are done here, hop over there to see more projects!<br />

Today I'm excited to share with you an invitation I made for my daugther's 13th birthday party. We have a local tea house that serves a proper "English High Noon Tea", complete with scones and tea sandwhiches. Its a lovely place - and we wanted to create just the right invitation. I found just the thing on "A Child's Year" - not the first place you'd go to look for a 13-year old's party invitation.<br />

A Child's Year features a card making button! Choose the proper size (I chose a 5 x 7 card, and cut at 5") and embelish at will. I also thought it would be neat to cut the image again using patterned paper and hand cutting the tea pot away from the card for a layered look, but thats not what my daughter wanted. <br />
<br />
The letter is from Sophisticated and the bows are handmade with a bow easy. I really liked that when you open the card, there is a little tea pot icon inside as well. We printed the party info on velum and placed that inside using vellum tape (can't see it).heatherhammenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09109210676200447759noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6475329083343563663.post-76014233390812684712011-10-10T22:32:00.000-04:002011-10-10T22:32:33.313-04:00Jesus Knows Me This I Love canvas workSo excited to get to share this with all of you. A few months ago, my mom found this play-on-words-phrase and asked me if I would make her a sign with it. I conveniently forgot and decided I would make it for her birthday or for Christmas. Turns out I found the mojo to make it for her birthday. Armed with cheap canvas and a box of old paint, some mod podge, and my Cricut, I set to work.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I used Cricut Craft Room to weld the words "knows" and "love" and to create the general shape and feel of the canvas layout. I started with a blank canvas not knowing why some canvases cost more than others (so I bought the cheap stuff... worked fine), I learned though that the lesser quality canvases "drink in" the paint more and it took several coats to get even adequate coverage. The first layer was done with a tan color, then I took a lighter cream color and kind of swirled it around the corners to give some variation and deph to the color. Once it was dry, I took my cuts crom my cricut that I made on vinyl and layed it out on my canvas. I made sure it was stuck down very well and then painted over the vinyl with the tan again to create a "seal" of paint around the letters. Then I had at it with the blue. Painted the whole thing then let it dry. Then I peeled off the vinyl, exposing the tan letters. I still felt that the overall look was a little bland and needed more depth, so I took some Walnut Ink, sprayed it onto a paper towel (not recommended, I'm certain I wasted a lot of ink... felt next time maybe?) and brushed the brown ink across the whole canvas, giving it a varied-aged-coffee-stained effect. ThenI gave it a generous coating of Glossy Mod Podge. While that was drying I decided to make some flowers to give the work some dimension. I LOVE the Flower Shoppe cartridge - there are so many options with it! This is the "fun" flower cut at 4" and at 1 and 3/4" Each flower piece was wet, crumpled, inked, heat dried then pieced together. Lastly, the flowers were hot glued to the canvas.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Welcome to DAY TWO of our monthly hop around the block and visit a wide range of wonderful Cricut crafters. SO MUCH TALENT on this Design Team that I am honored to be on, and on your travels you will see over 100 different Cricut cartridges in use!<br />
<br />
You should have come from the super amazing Laura's blog. If you did not please start at the beginning of the hop at <span style="color: #4c1130;">h</span></span><a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">ttp://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> <br />
Too many great projects we don't want you to miss! NOT TO MENTION THERE ARE PRIZES INVOLVED!!! WOOO! Should you get lost the entire lineup can be found at the bottom of this post.</span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Onto my cartridges for this month. I was recently asked to make a banner and card set for a John Deere themed birthday party. I thought... sure... I could do a green tractor, but how cool if I could get the logo on there somewhere. So here's how I did it:</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Using Cricut Craft Room (trust me, its worth the wait. The kinks are annoying and the program seems to work better every time I use it) I selected the tractor from "Everyday Paper Dolls" and then found the perfect deer shape on "Going Places", tilted it, and dropped it ontop of the tractor engine area. I cut that from green. I cut one of the same without the deer in yellow. Once cut, I trimmed the green seat, wheel and bumper away to further show the yellow. Then I custom created ovals to match the wheel sizes to cover over the tractor wheels. Once it was put together it looked a little too "clean" to me so I dirtied it up with some walnut ink brushed on with a piece of felt by hand.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Not sure what to do with my new little creation, I decided to give it a sceen on a card. Not sure if I will put a child's age in the clouds? Either way, its blank for now. I used Plantin Schoolbook for the grass and Going Places for the clouds. The sky and grass hill are hand cut. Chalking completes the detail. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Once I saw this posted photo on Amy's page, I wanted to show what a custom mat could do to enhance the photograph. I wanted to compliment the soft browns and reds of the photos and add some femininity with a soft purple. I used CCR to create a mat, and a plum border for the mat opening. I chose a little sentiment from "Sugar and Spice" and cut it at 3.25" in a dark gray color and used the plum cardstock for the heart. For a variation, I made a second mat "accessory" cutting "S" from Ashlyn's Alphabet in black and used a prima flower on the bottom right side.</span></span><br />

I MIGHT ACTUALLY POST SOMETHING THAT IS NOT A MINI ALBUM THIS WEEKEND!!!!!! Wooo! LOL If you are a follower, lookforward to my participation in a 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog hop that takes place this Saturday and Sunday. There will be prizes from the hostess! <br />
<br />
Since I'm here, check out these super cute and VERY easy to make headbands! I ordered the headbands and silk flowers off of Ebay, glued them together, and voila. The ribbon ones were made with a Bow Easy. VERY cool little tool and if you don't have one, I highly suggest looking it up and paying the $5 or so it costs to order it - WELL worth the money. I never made bows and now I make them for everything : ) Comment below if you would like to see a future tutorial on using the Bow Easy, and I'll be glad to put something together if I get that feedback. <br />
<br />
Thank you, as always, for stopping by, looking forward to my post this weekend! I can't wait to share it with you!<br />

Hi! Back again sharing another post as a Design Team member for <a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/">Cricut Craft Room</a>! Please head back to her page and check out the other fab posts from today for interesting outside-of-the-box ideas for how to use your cartridges!<br />
<br />
I decided to share, what I think it a pretty odd use of the Wrap It Up cartridge. I've been using this cart a LOT lately because the cuts and phrases on it are great for so much more than just for gift boxes and little bags (though they are super cute too!).<br />
<br />
Aaaaaaand... you guessed it. ANOTHER mini (sorry!!) but it's my blog and I'll do what I want *wink*.<br />
<br />
This one is made using the onsie cut from this cartridge. I felt that it was just slightly too narrow, so I used CCR to widen it a little bit and maximize the space when cutting - I cut 4 to a 12 x 12 sheet. My first attempt involved using ModPodge to adhere and it looked AWFUL. so, round two, I used a good old elmers glue stick. Worked AWESOMELY. I really like how there is a differentiation from the front and the back of these super cute onsies. This is a great and really simple gift to throw together for a shower and give away as a gift! Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for looking!<br />

I am excited to share a project I made for <a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/">My Cricut Craft Room's</a> Scrapbook Saturday. If you stopped by today because you are a follower (thanks!!) please check out the other posts on Erica's page. There is some fantastic talent being shared with this group! Also, Erica recently opened a store, and I'll tell you that her prices for scrapbooking supplies can't be beat. Check her out again later this week as she will be filling up the rest of her inventory!<br />
<br />
Ok! Onto this week's project!<br />
<br />
I decided I wanted to try my hand at making a paper bag album - I had made them a LOOOONG time ago and used to give them as shower gifts. Now I have all kinds of cool tools to make them with : ) Take a look at the pictures and I'll walk you through the process.<br />
<br />
First, you start with three paper bags and lay them opposite of each other, one up, one down one up. Fold them in half. I used the crop a dial to punch two holes and put in two large eyelets for the binding. I cut 12 sheets of 5 x 5 coordinating papers and ran them through my xyron to make them more sturdy and easy to adhere, and then applied them to the book. Everything else were simply cricut cuts and embelishments! I ran colored ribbon through the eyelets to complete the binding and made little slider cards to pop out of the open spaces in the bags. Enjoy, and thanks for looking!<br />

Welcome! Thank you for stopping by today! I am excited to share a project with you for Festive Friday hoseted by <a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/">My Cricut Craft Room</a>! Festive Friday is when the Designn Team Members show you our holiday related crafts using out cricut. If you are one of my followers, be sure to jump over to <a href="http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/">My Cricut Craft Room</a> to see more fabulously festive projects : ) <br />
<br />
Lately, I've been a little mini-album obsessed. And today's post is no different! I recently purchased the Elegant Edges cartridge and fell in love with all of the fun cuts! That plus a huge sale on chipboard sheets at Joanns = mini album heaven!!! Enjoy!<br />
<br />
I usually make 4 books at a time, in a 6 x 6" size. If you take 5 sheets of chipboard and get 4 cuts from each, you will yield four ten-paged books. For this album I chose a cut I liked from Elegant Edges and cut 4 to a sheet x 5 sheets.<br />
<br />
Then, I chose 10 pages of patterned paper (DCWV) 2 each of 5 designs and cut them at 5" for my photo mats. I mixed up the mat designs but find the simpler ones to work better with this project.<br />

To finish, I adhered the paper to the chiboard FIRST before punching a hole in the top with my Cropadial. Then add a binder ring (I use 1"). Embelish with cricut cuts or stash you have on hand (what scrapper doesn't have a TON of extra christmas stickers and embelishments?!!?) Adorn with ribbons and tags, ink the edges and VOILA! Mini Album! Super easy, super fast... 4 books took about 2 hours.<br />

I hope you are enjoying today's blog hop! I know I will be learning alot as I browse through everyone's talented cards! For those of you that haven't visited my page before, welcome! <br />
<br />
I have a secret to share.... I'm not a card maker. I CAN make cards... and do on occasion, but my main passion is scrapbooking. That being said I love a good challenge and when I learned about today's hop, I wanted in. Pop Up Twirl card? What is that? A sliding ladder? Interesting! Count me in I said. Not knowing what any were I bravely asked to be assigned to a card and then looked up some tutorial and watched some viseos on how to make them. I watched and said - HA! Easy-Peasy! I can do that!<br />
<br />
Er. That is, I THOUGHT I could do it. My project turned out to be what my 13 year old would call an "Epic Fail". There are paper scraps everywhere... splinter shards, glue in my hair, and about four different cricut cartridges laying on my floor. Yeah, I'm a messy scrapper and it usually works for me. Tonight, however, no go. So sorry to dissapoint, but I cannot discrace this hop with the tangled mess of paper and twine that sits upon my desk.<br />
<br />
If you would like to learn about how to make a Pop Up Twirl Card, there is a very easy to follow tutorial by Split Coast Stampers which can be found <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/popuptwirl">here</a>. I hope that I haven't offended and that you choose to check out some of my other projects so that you see that I'm not a total dud : )<br />

Here is the fun projects I made to share with you this month! For this project I have used the cartridges:<br />
<ul><li>Elegant Edges</li>
<li>Mother's Day Bouquet</li>
<li>Sophisticated </li>
<li>Tags Bags Boxes and More</li>
</ul>Do you like mini books? Lately I'm a little obsessed : ) I've decided to try and make 50 of them for an upcoming trade show, so we'll see how it goes : ) If you DO like mini albums, the Elegant Edges Cart is a MUST HAVE. It makes the process SO fun and easy! Mini Albums can be made by simply cutting chipboard into squares or using the cricut to cut out shapes into thinner chipboard. Either can be embellished with a full coat of paper adhered by Mod-Podge or left "naked", like I did with the "Tween books below." I make my books in sets of four and all are in 6 x 6 size. <br />
<br />
Here are the Tween Books:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The second set of books aren't quite done yet, but they have a more "shabby chic" feel to them and are accented with handmade flowers from Mother's Day Bouquet. These Flowers are SO simple to make, just cut in various sizes and colors, wet a bit using inks (I used Walnut Ink), water, or glimmer mist crumple or bend, let dry, then put them together. I just kind of do it haphazardly... playing around with which ones I think look best with what. I also change up the centers, but when I'm making many, I tend to go for glitter glue, it's fast, easy and CHEAP : )</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
