Crib Notes

Hi Everyone!
It's Thursday, so it's Karli- with another Cricut Project for ya. Today, I'm sharing a little crib filled with Thank You cards for some new Mommy friends of mine.
Here it is:
I embossed a piece of tissue paper so it would look like a baby blanket. For the crib bedding (Box) I used a sheet of SEI Bridgeport Cardstock.

I've created 8 cards and included 8 envelopes that are tucked inside.
Here are the cards:
The bottom of each card is embossed with one of the Cuttlebug Embossing Borders from the Just My Type Collection --->the buttons. (click on a pic to see a closer peek.) These adorable little critters are from the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge. I LUUUUUUUV this cart!!! They are just adorable! And the best part is that they are super easy to assemble because there are no little pieces. Yaaay! I think this is the best cart in the new release.
Here's the envelope:
Again you see I've used the CB Embossing border along the edge of the flap so that the card & envelope coordinate :)

All the deets to this project can be found on my blog. And don't forget, you can find all the products for this project at the YMH Store. If you'd like the Create a Critter Cart, be sure to email Kristina & let her know you'd like it.
Thanks for peeking!

My Spring Hat card for you.




Here is my spring hat card for this week!. I used the Sei Mimosa Papers. I choose the pink and green color combination becase is just says spring to me. The Mimosa papers are beautiful. They are double sided and the pack comes with pearl, patterned and textured solid papers. I inked the edges of the green paper and added the pink frilly fiber on the bottom. I hope you can see the 3 dew drops I added to the bottom right hand corner they are from the Orchid dew drop collection. The hat

Thank You So Much!

Hey everyone! It's my turn to post on the Your Memories Here DT blog as the Guest Designer for April! I can't even tell you how much I've felt the need to step up my game when I see the posts the DT does! Wow! Amazing projects!

I've shown a scrapbook page and a set of note cards so far, but I wanted to share a simple and fun card today. The shimmery paper is in the SEI Mimosa Pack, and I love how vibrant the color is! It pairs beautifully with the Sweet & Sassy Primas, and the Island Blossom dew drops like I've used here. This card has me thinking green and Spring, how about you?!

Measuring Up!


I personally don't scrap in cronological order, I just scrap the pictures and moments that speak to me at the time, so it was fun finally putting these pictures together from when my son was first home. He is now almost 4! I used a super cute bird Snag 'em Stamp that you can get for just $.75! I paper pieced him and embossed his belly with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. I also used some fun Primas, Pebbles ribbon and white Dew Drops. My title was cut with my Cricut using All Mixed Up. I hope you are having a great Monday, thanks so much for stopping by:)

Just Call Me Slacker

Good evening everyone. I apologize for getting this posted so late in the day, I'll admit I totally flaked on my post today. I've been out in the woods all weekend riding my new 4-wheeler. But I'm home now, a little bruised and very sore (yep, I flipped it) But it was all fun and I'm sure I'll wreck it again sometime this summer ;)
Being so unprepared for this post I have no project to share with you but I would like let every one know that Your Memories Here will soon be carrying Tattered Angel's products. The first shipment of glimmer mist is on it's way to the store!! I expect it to arrive this upcoming week, so keep a look out for it.

Perfectly Aged Wine Tag

Hi everyone!
It's Karli, with a simple but sweet little wine tag for ya today!
Here it is:
Here's a closer peek at the tag:
I made the tag with the Preserves Cartridge cut at 4". I cut the grapes from the same cartridge & added Grapes & Leaves Dew Drops to create 3D grapes. I'm so tickled with how that looks :) I also used one of the CB Embossing Borders from the Pop Culture Collection to emboss the background. It gave it a basket weave kind of look that I will be recreating for another project- love that! I stamped the sentiment directly on the Pebbles Inc Ribbon (lavender) & added a bit more of that FAB Pebbles Inc Ribbon to the top hole. I tied a piece of twine to attach it to the bottle. So Easy!

The Dew Drops & Pebbles Inc Ribbon is on sale at YMH Store---> Here! Remember you can Special Order Cricut carts by emailing Kristina.
Thanks for peeking today :)

Since handmade flowers are so popluar right now, I thought I would show some for my project this week. The bottom 2 flowers were made with old dictionary pages. I used my Cricut to cut the circles out in different sizes. The bottom being the largest and top being the smallest. Both the bottom 2 flowers were inked and sprayed with silver shimmerez. The top 2 flowers were made with the Sei Mimosa paper collection. The third flower is a fan flower with a lolipop flower on top. The Mimosa paper was a perfect choice for this flower as it already has lot of shine to the paper. In the middle of that flower I used a dew drop fromt the Flame Dew Drop collection.
The top flower was also made using the Mimosa paper from Sei. I used toole between the layers and a feather behind for added intrest. All this great paper and more great items for your scrapbooking needs can be found at http://www.yourmemorieshere.com/ .

Spring Note Cards!

Hey everyone! Today is my second post as the April Guest Designer for Your Memories Here! Are you loving all the cute projects that went up on the YMH blog last week?! I know I sure am, and I'm constantly amazed and inspired by all the talented crafters out there!

Last week I shared a fun layout, and this week I have a cute set of note cards!



I used this adorable Imaginisce Tree Snag 'em Stamp from the YMH Store. Right now this cute little stamp is only 75 cents!! Several of the clear single stamps are on sale, which makes it great to add a few to your collection without breaking the bank!


Each tree was stamped with a small sentiment below it to anchor and ground the tree base. These little mini cards are a great way to give a gift of appreciation, and to show off smaller images like this one. It really brings the focus onto the tree, and is super quick to stamp a bunch up in pretty colors!


You can take a look at all of the great stamps YMH offers here!

This May Make You Thirsty

Well, at least the colors made me want something fruity and tropical to drink.
PCM CC#22
I made this card for the Paper Craft Mania color challenge. We were challenged to use the colors green, orange and brown. Easy peasy with the SEI Mimosa paper. The beautiful citrus colors of that paper did make it a little hard to choose which one to use :) I love the pearl shimmer this one has. I also used the Prima Sweet and Sassy all about me flowers. I think the colors of those flowers compliment the Mimosa papers perfectly (click on those words to see all the colors in the assortment) I stamped my sentiment with brown ink to take care of the "brown" requirement of the color challenge.
I thought I'd share another card made with the same SEI paper (only the reverse side)
The challenge this month at Lily-Boo too challenge blog is to make a spring card with the colors yellow, light green and a blossom.
Spring Green and yellow card
For my card I used one of the Lily-Boo's Boutique Mother's day digi stamp images because it reminds me of being outside enjoying the nice weather (even if you have house work to do).
For the card base I used SEI Mimosa paper chartruse dots and for my blossom I used two Prima flowers layered and a little yellow rhinestone center. Pop on over to my blog to check out all the rest of the details.

But before you go I'd like to remind every one that we are looking for next month's guest designer. If you'd like to share what you can create with the FREE products I give you then send me an email(my email address is at the bottom of the page) with a link to your blog so the DT and I can take a peek at your work.

Emma in the Wild Layout

Hello everyone!! Hope you are having a fabulous Friday!

Samantha here, bringing you another layout made for Emma's puppy album. She has so much fun in the back yard and this paper is just so perfect against the green in the photos.  The paper is from the SEI Mimosa collection. This paper is double sided and the other side has gloss on it to make it shimmer! This side is plain, but the polka dots have a distressed look to them. I just LOVE LOVE this paper. 


Don't you just LOVE those polka dots?! They are divine!
Under the photos, I used some of the Prima Lace Ribbon in cream. The ribbon added a beautiful feminine touch to my layout. After all, Emma is a little girl :)

Monogram Cardfolio

Hi everyone!
It's Karli with a simple but classy little project for you today. I made this cardfolio for my hubby. Sometimes he asks me to make him a thank you card for someone so I decided I would make him a personalized cardfolio.
Here it is:
I used one of my fav papers -Windsor by SEI. I just LOVE SEI and this collection is just gorgeous---> flocked & foiled; perfect for masculine cards & projects. I cut his initial with the Tie the Knot Cricut Cart. It's become one of my fav's! Look at that "D"! Isn't it gorgeous???
Here's a peek at the inside:
Inside there are 2 pockets (enveloboxes). 1 for cards & 1 for envelopes. In the middle I added an area for a pen. Because the paper is double-sided, it is finished on the inside as well. I made matching monogram cards that he can use for any occasion.

 I used one of the Cuttlebug Embossing Borders from the Pop Culture collection down the center of the card & on the envelope flap to coordinate. Luv that custom look! Then I simply adhered the monogram to the card. So easy!

You can find all the deets to this project on my blog & you can find my fav SEI Windsor papers, Cricut goodies, and the Cuttlebug Embossing Borders at YMH Store ---> HERE. (Did I mention the SEI papers are on sale? Yay!!!) Don't forget, you can custom order the Tie the Knot cart with Kristina. Just shoot her an email & let her know you'd like it :)
Thanks for peeking!

The top 2 layers of my flower come from Prima sprites the Aqua collection. The bottom flower is a chipboard piece. I stamped the word happy and the vine for the flower.

Happy Birthday!

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be here today as the April Guest Designer! Thanks so much to Kristina, and the wonderful YMH DT girls, for letting me join in on the fun! Today I have a bright and summery layout to share with you!


The SEI Mimosa papers scream summer to me (and those cute dots match my daughters teeny bikini!), so I had a blast pairing these together. Both the dotted paper and background paper are in this 48 page pack! The banner was created by cutting triangles, and layering them under this super cute Prima Lace ribbon. Little Prima Flowers and Dew Drops finish off my page. I love how the primas and dew drops match perfectly with the colors in the Mimosa pack!


If you like this combo of colors as much as I do, make sure to visit the Your Memories Here store today!

Just A Table

I am always amazed at how kids find the most ordinary, mundane things, especially when they are new to them, facinating. These are pics that were taken right after we bought this table, the kids were thrilled! For my fun, bright paper I used some new SEI, Mimosa, Bitty Primas and of course, my standby, Dew Drops. For my title I used my Cricut and Lyrical Letters and for my little bird used my new Stamping cartridge:) I hope you had a wonderful Easter! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Vintage layout

Happy Easter everyone...

It's Linda with a simple layout I created for my Grandparents Picture on their wedding day Oct 16,1925. I have been wanting to make a layout for this picture for awhile now. This Picture means a lot to me because I did not get the chance to know my grandparents my Grandfather passed away before I was born and my Grandmother passed away when I was a little girl..



I used SEI Windsor Paper one double sided sheet, I love SEI Papers. Goldenberry Dew drops for the middle of the Prima flowers that I placed in a half circle shape.

Special Saturday

Hello, it's me again! I've got a special Saturday post for you. What's so special you ask? Well, the project I have for you today doesn't use any of the products in my store (GASP) I will remedy that here in a minute but first my project:

These are ceramic tiles that I stamped with some Stazon Timber Brown ink. I used a Unity stamp for the flowers and the other stamps are from TAC. You can click on the photo to be able to read what each tile says because they are all different ;)
On the back of each tile are little cork pads to protect the surface of whatever you set these on.
I made these to give as a house warming gift.

And now the part where I share some useful information about products that can be purchased at Your Memories Here.
For the month of April you can get a Cricut Gypsy for $190.00!! Oh yeah, that price includes shipping to the U.S.!!
I'll be ducking out now from the blogging world but before I go, I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter.

Hoppin' Along

Hello and Good Friday everyone! It's Kristina here posting for Samantha. She made this awesome layout but blogger isn't cooperating with her so I have the pleasure of sharing it with you today.
Her layout features sweet little Emma "hoppin along". Samantha used the SEI Mimosa papers for her page. Though you can't really tell in the photo, theses papers have a shimery sheen to them. Samantha also stamped that cute little froggy and then colored him in and cut the image out to mount on her page.

That little frog is an Imaginice Snag 'em stamp and he's only $0.75 right now at Your Memories Here. So hop on over and snag some :)

Easter Garden Teacher Gift

Hi everyone!
Today I'm sharing a little gift I made for my son's teacher. It's a little easter garden with  a giant, juicy carrot growing beautifully in it:
I used my Cricut to cut out the fence 4 times with the Songbird Cart at 3" each. I embellished it with a little Prima flower with a dew drop in the middle.
Here's the carrot:
To make the carrot, I cut out the cake box in the Bags, Tags, Boxes, & More cart at 5 1/2". Then I added my favorite jelly beans- Jelly Bellies! MMMMM!
For more deets & a tutorial, please hop by my blog---> here.

Thanks for peeking and have a great Easter if you celebrate it & if you don't happy Spring. :)
