Making "Ladybug Love" Card w. Cricut Craft Room

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!

Today I thought I would show you how I created my "Ladybug Love" Card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog (FCCB) using the Cricut Craft Room and my Cricut Expression.

Here, I've designed my Ladybug using the Create A Critter cart in the Cricut Craft Room.

Then, I decided on what colors would be assigned to which part of the Ladybug.

Loaded up my mat into my Cricut Expression and *CUT*!

Finished cuts.

Took off all of the excess paper.

I used the ever adorable Peachy Keen Stamps to give my Ladybug her darling face.

(PK-755 Critter Faces SET A Large)

Assembled my Ladybug and added white Gelly Roll pen to the eyes.

Chose my background paper (DCWV Extreme "Everyday" Stack), and glued down my Ladybug's shadow as well as the matte for my die cut phrase.

Used foam adhesive to give the words, "love bug" and my Ladybug some dimension.

And, here is the finished product.

This card was also entered into the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #20.

Sneak Peek: Baby Boy Mini Album

Hello Crafty Friends!

Here is a baby album I've been working on for about...  a year!  It's 90% done, I hope to get it done during the week so I can give it to my good friend who had her baby last summer.  I really have a hard time finishing things, mostly because I don't have much free time caring for my toddler 24/7.  I don't have many photos of the album, and I don't want to put a photo of the cover just in case she sees this and well, the cover says his name on it.

So here is just a taste:

Here is a pocket page on the left,

and as you can see, a pocket with the word,

"precious".

Inside of the "precious" pocket,

there is an opportunity for some jouraling.

There is more to come!

What do you think???

May Tag 2012: MARIPOSA

Hello Crafty Friends!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

I hope everyone had a chance to do something creative today.

I did.  I worked on two projects.  I am almost finished with a mini album that I am working on for my sister.  And, I made my "May" tag for 2012.

I used DCWV's "Mariposa" paper.  I LOVE this stack!

And, I used "Vintage Photo" Distress ink for the edges.

I also used Glossy Accents on the small butterflies.

This is also my May submission to

Tim Holtz' 12 Tags of 2012

So, what do ya think?

Thanks for stopping by! :-)
