Here are some more Cards made from the directions in the book card Making With Cricut. They did a great job with this book.

I've been using my Cricut a lot. This weekend I dedicated my time learning some new ways of doing things. I bought the book named Card Making with Cricut. It is published by Annie's Attic. I was very pleased with the easy to follow directions and the freedom it has to make the designs with your own style. Here are some of the Cards I made from the instructions in the book. I Had so much fun playing with my Cricut and I recommend If you have a Cricut at home to buy this book. You will be excited how your finished projects will come out.

Nature Tag

I use stamping and rub- ons to make this tag. I also sprayed glimmer mist to make the back ground. Making this card was so inspirational. I was thinking of all the things I enjoy in nature. The world brings us so much beauty witch craves to be loved and admired by our hearts and eyes. It's amazing how much emotions come hand to hand with inspiration. Experiences is what we are prompted to create. Amazing how we reflect what we think and feel in our creations. Thank You everyone for stopping and looking at what is created and inspired by my heart. I share a little piece of me and my inner soul with everything I create.

Scar Crow

A card I made using digital stamps from http://www.mygrafico.com/

I wanted to make a scrap page that shows how much my youngest son loves his dad. He is always waiting for him at the window. One evening around Christmas I caught the action on camera. I finally scrapped the page. It is so special to me.. I hope you enjoy the journalism.

This was a long day for you Ian.

You sat in front of this window for hours waiting for daddy to come home.

You didn't understand why daddy had to go to work so close to the holiday.

So much excitement going on.

You would say "Were is my daddy"?

Back to the window you would stand looking out waiting Patiently.

On the envelope is written in Ian's words.

My daddy should be home soon. Mom come sit with me. We will wait together.

It won't be long. Look mom I am still waiting for my daddy. He will be so happy to see me when he gets home. I just know it..

Inside the letter has mommies words

Yes he will be so happy to see you when he comes home.

Daddy won't be home for a while.

Come away from the window and help me with dinner.

Daddy will be happy if you did that too.

Ok ! you sit there as long as you want.

I will join you when I am done here.

Look daddy came home before dinner is fixed.

Now you and daddy can play until it's time to eat.

Its all about the Hat

It's all about the hat!
All the pattern paper in this layout was made by the techniques we learned from Create Scrapbooks.
http://www.createscrapbooks.com/
The back ground lace was painted with the Lumiere paint. I was lucky to already own some. The color in this layout is called (564 super copper)
The paper with the yellow and red flowers is made from the masking technique.
The red paper above that is made from the resist technique.
Now to the three pieces in the front running up and down.
1st lace one is made from Gesso and oil pastels. I use light yellow and light pink.
2nd is the masking tape technique with water color paint. I used red,pink and yellow and embossed it with white swirls.
3RD ONE IS THE TISSUE AND PERFECT PEARLS technique. I used Hot Pink with Gold perfect pearls on top.
The flowers were all cut out by yours truly and they are all made from the resist technique.
The Howdy is stamped on transparency and added over the center of the flower.

Title: Its All About The Hat
Journal Part says:

What a fun night we had trying on the red hat.
we took turns and had a little show of our own.
Even mom tried on the hat.
We played all night till it was time to go to bed.
Your little brother was laughing,but was to fast for mom to catch.
He loved watching us play with the big red hat.
we had a great family night.

Here is my most recent tag. It was made by using double decided tape and then stretching it apart. I added three different Martha Stuart brand glitters .. I really like the look of the glitter background. It really makes the tag pop.

The layout on the left was done Hybrid Style. I tried to make them look alike ,but different. The layout on the right is digital. My very first Digital and Hybrid layout ever done. Hopefully, I will be making some more soon.. I've been enjoying my creativity by learning new thing..

I made this two tags in one. Use the shiny paint in the back ground and the rest is done with perfect pearls. The green leaves and I also stamped the word happiness with perfect pearls. they flower is Martha Stuarts raise punch flowers and I added ink and Stickles to it.

I made embelishment gathering watching paper clipping live. I really enjoyed the show and scrapping along with the paperclipping live audience

Mini Book

This is a mini book Made by me, but inspired from watching Create Scrapbooks live show on facebook. It is a 4x4 mini with pockets. It was put together with Jump rings. It most definitely was a fun gift to give. I gave it to my daughter Kindergarten teacher. It was a Thank You gift. The paper is made by three bugs in a rug (spread your wings line.) I really love the bright Beautiful colors in this line. It made it easier for me to create using it. I simply love It.

Mixed Media Project

My mothers birthday just past and I had a challenge from Create Scrapbooks to do a Mixed Media Project. So I decided to make this Mixed Media about the three Generation of girls on my side of the family. Since I no longer live in Massachusetts were all of my family live. The three generations
Have not been together like this many times. I was looking for a picture of all of us together and couldn't find one. This sadden me since there wont be many opportunity to capture one. So I decided to Create one... I drew the pictures of us on regular paper. Then use oil pastels to color them. I adhere the drawings to the canvas with Mod podge..This Mixed Media has many emotions tied to it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

Three Acrylic paint colors and white embossing ink background

This tag was made by using three acrylic paints all different shades of the same color. One was a shiny acrylic paint. You apply it randomly on the tag.. You need to take your paint brush with one stroke run it across your tag. This will make the colors blend ,but you will still see all the pretty colors on your tag. Do this in strait line motion till your tag is covered. Do not blend to much or it will turn into one color. You want to see the three different colors on your project. It will make your tag more appealing to the eye. Let the paint dry completely Then emboss the tag with white embossing ink and use a back ground stamp. The butterfly was stamped on some sanded coordination paper. I also added glossy accents on the middle of the butterfly and antennas. I use pop dots on the wings.. I added the fibers I had in my stash... I hope you like it.
