Friends Layout

Ever since I got the toy story cartridge I been wanting to do a layout with the phrase "You've got a friend a me" The challenge this week at Fantabulous Friday is to make a fun project for a friend. Here is what I made using the Toy Story Cartridge.



Cricut Cartridge: Pooh Font Set - Used gypsy to weld the words - cut at 2".
Light Blue Card Stock
Stickle: Baby Blue

To cut this characters you need a lot of patience, there is a lot of small pieces you need to glue. All the characters and phrase were pop - dot and they were cut at 5.5".

For the Buzz I used the following card stock: peach, lime green, light purple, baby blue, black, white and chalked it with gray chalk.
Stickles: Lime green
On the cover for his head I put the glossy accent to make it seem like glass.
Buzz was the hardest cut. A lot of small pieces to glue.

For Woody I used the following cardstock: yellow, peach. brown, blue, red, white and black
Stickles: Yellow, Xmas Red.

Cardstock: blue, yellow, red
Stickles: Xmas Red.
This was the easiest cut.

Cardstock: light brown. brown, peach, white, blue, yellow, and red
Stickles: Cinnamon, Yellow, Xmas Red.
I flipped bullseye so he would be looking at Jessie.

My niece and her friend came over today and they wanted to make a card for their fathers.

Light purple card stock = 6" x 7 1/2".
Dark purple card stock = 5 1/2" x 7". Punch the top using America Girl punch.

I Scream for Ice Cream Challenge

Hello everyone,

Sundae: 5.5"
Cricut Cartridge: Celebration
Phrase: 1.5"
Pop Dots
Adhesive
Black fine tip market

Cardstock: Brown, Pink, Beige, Robin blue

Directions
  1. Using the gypsy and sweet treat cartridge, I used the sundae at 5.5". I copied the image and flipped it vertically.
  2. Then I welded the two images and cut it.
  3. I cut the layers, adhered to the card
  4. Stickled the phrase
  5. On the inside, I hand wrote the information of the invitation card.
This was such a fun project to do. I loved using my gypsy, it made making the card a lot quicker.

Wish me luck.

Okay, I posted my old projects, hopefully it is enough for Robyn to consider me to be part of her design team. I really want this opportunity. I haven't had my blog for 3 months, I've had it for 2 months and like 2 weeks. Robyn please, consider it. Well wish me luck. I'm crossing my fingers.
This was my first year teaching Kindergarten, I only had 7 students so I was able to make a one page layout and frame it for my students.
Here it is.

I did this for the other Kindergarten teacher students. I did on a 8"x8" card stock and fold it in half.


Past Projects

I have been scrapbooking for a little over 2 years now. I started by getting the Cricut Expression. At the beginning it took me a while to start using it. After getting use to it, I use it almost for everything I make. The first scrapbook I made took me 8 hours, it wasn't that good. As I practice I got better.My second scrapbook, which it was better than the first one but still not compare to what I do now, was for my nephew, he has been in boy scouts since he was 5. He began as a cub scout and when he was ready to become a boy scout I gave it to him as a gift. About 6 months past and I made a scrapbook for my big sister, a cruise she took to the bahamas. I posted pictures of some of the layouts because this is where my good work began. A couple of months past by and my niece wanted me to make her scrapbook. I posted some of the layouts here too because it just got better.

Here is some of my past projects.
