Tahoe Layout

It's Thursday, so it's Karli,
Today I have a double page Layout I created featuring some of the pics we took during the Tahoe trip from a couple of weeks ago.
Here's the spread:

The trees were cut out on my Cricut with the Christmas Cart & the Winter Woodland cart (luuuv this cart!) and ran them through the Swiss Dots, D'vine Swirls, Snowflake CB, and Textile Texture CB Embossing Folders to add texture. The title was also cut using Winter Woodland. I love that font! The snowflakes were punched out & then I added Dew Drops to the middles for a more icy look.
Here are the pages individually:

As always for more deets, please hop to my blog!
Thanks for peeking! Have a great day :)

100 Days Smarter

This was a fun layout to do. My youngest son brought home the middle section of this, just the pattered paper with the black behind it. I added the purple and the 100 number cut outs. I embossed the edges with purple embossing powder. I also did the edges around the LEARN bingo card. I used my Cricut Expessions to cut out the "100 Days Smarter. I used the Base Camp cartridge to cut them out. I used my 12 x 12 mat to cut out these letters. I inked them with purple ink and then stamped them with a script stamp. I cant say enough about how much I love my 12 x 12 mat. It makes cutting mutliple things at once so easy. The Cricut and mats can be purchased at Your Memories Here online store. So why not good and see what great things are there to make your projects wonderful.

The Chair

Over at the Page Maps Blog there is a contest going on, so I decided to play along. I love the sketches from Becky Fleck so much, I am always inspired by them. This is my LO based on the sketch for this contest. We had just bought this sweet little chair for my daughter and I caught her reading a book on it all by herself, so sweet:) I used Lyrical Letters and Home Decor, Home Accents and Damask embossing folder. You can find these great supplies at Your Memories Here. The paper is from K&Co. and the flowers are silk hydrangeas from Mikes. I love to hear what you think, thanks so much!

Multi-Crafting

Like so many of you I am a multi-crafter. What I mean is paper crafting isn't my only hobby. I've been busy sewing a couple of tiny little aprons for my daughters (4 and 2 years old). What happened was I got a great deal (I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about) on a pair of "flirty" aprons and my little girls just loved them. However, these were made to fit women of all sizes but definitely not little girls who still wear toddler sizes! So off to Hobby Lobby for some fabric. I let them each pick the pattern for their apron. Marlee chose the Princesses and Lilee picked Strawberry Shortcake.

Now on to the multi-craft part. I had to scrap a page of them wearing their new aprons.

I used this week's Sketchy Thursdays sketch because it's a great sketch and Your Memories Here is this week's sponsor! I rotated the sketch but kept the proportions pretty much the same. The background paper is DCWV Nana's Kitchen (appropriate for an apron layout?) I cut out the apron on my Cricut using the From My Kitchen cartridge. The purple card stock and the apron are both embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder (though it's hard to see that detail in the photo). Thanks for stopping by to take a look today. I hope you'll head over to Sketchy Thursdays to play along and share your own take on this sketch.

Be sure to stop by my blog because Just Buggin' Cricut Challenge blog is having a BLOG HOP this weekend with a challenge, lots of inspiration and prizes!

Happy Crafting,

Sketchy Thursdays

Happy Thursday! Just wanted to share with you all that Your Memories Here is sponsoring this week's Sketchy Thursdays challenge. So pop on over, take a peek at the sketch and play along for a chance to win some scrappy goodies. Their sketches are a great starting point to get those creative juices flowing.

Inspired by CHA

Hello there,
It's Thursday, so it's Karli, sharing a project that I saw at the Provo-Craft Booth at CHA. I totally fell in love with one of the projects on this table:

Can you guess which one??? It was the cup :) Did you find it?
Here's my version:

They used one of these cups that you can alter the inner lining --->however you'd like. I love creating custom & personalized gifts, so this was perfect for me! I used gold foil paper and embossed it with one of my fav Cuttlebug folders- Fleur de Lis. Then I simply added some bling for my name & added a bling crown to embellish that's fit for a queen ;) . So super easy, but it looks awesome!

Here's the liner alone:

 and the cup:

You can use patterned paper, cardstock, whatever you'd like! The best part is you're never stuck with a boring cup like everyone else's & you made it yourself, quick & easy :) I have a couple more for next time that I can't wait to share!

Thanks for peeking! Hope you have a golden day!

Black and red Thank you card

Here is a Thank you card that I made. I love the red, black and white color combonation. I used my Cricut to cut out the black squares and the red letters. As I hope you can see in the top picture I used foam tape to pop some of the letters up. On those letters I also added a red eyelet with some black and white ribbon as well. At the top of the card I punched 2 holes and added the same ribbon. For added depth I used black chalk ink around the edges of the red card. I used my 12 x 12 mat to for my cutting. I love the 12 x 12 mat as you can so much at one time.

Got Dirt?

Is it Tuesday already? Sorry, my hubby took the day off yesterday and cut into my crafting time, I get more done when he's not around ;)

Here's a layout that has been in my "to do" pile for a while now.

In the summer we like to spend out weekends in the woods on our ATVs when we can. I got brave one trip and took my camera along.

I made the cuts on my Cricut using Plantin for the title font and Camp Out solutions for the 4 wheeler. I wrote my journaling on a Chatterbox wood tag and attached it with some glue dots. I felt with all the mud that the page was a little blah, so to give it some "bling" without being "girly" I added 3 sets of Dew Drops by each photo all from the Sunflower mix.

I embossed the title with my Cuttlebug Diamond Plate embossing folder though it's a little hard to see in the photo.

Pretty Flowers

A springy card for you today! I decided to leave the sentiment off this one as it will be easy to personalize when I need too. I used several supplies from Your Memories Here, the Primas, Pebbles ribbon, the Rosey Nook paper, the Mother's Day cart for the mats and a Swiss Dots embossing folder. For my scallop border I punched some 1" circles and adhered them under my mat layer. I hope you have a wonderful Monday!

Simple Birthday Card

Simple Birthday Card

Hello everyone and happy Sunday... here is a simple Birthday card I made just using three items. A great card to make if you don't have much time and need a quick birthday card.

I created this sweet and simple card using Birds and Swirls A2 Embossing Folder
a Prima Flower and New from Prima Marketing pearls and crystals accents for the flower center.

Happy Birthday Blocks

Here is the birthday card I made for my hubby (yesterday was his 34th birthday). He's a no frills kind of guy so I kept it clean and simple (but oh how I wanted to add Stickles and flowers) This is a 6"x6" card and the little rounded squares are 1- 3/4" cut on my Cricut with George and basic shapes. I stamped each square with the Imaginisce "Piece of Cake" stamps (there are 3 designs in this set. The middle square is from another set that i threw in to change it up a bit. I inked all the edges with the same color as what I had stamped to help them "pop" of the background. I "borrowed" Karli's idea and added a button to the center of each circular "happy birthday" stamp. I lucked out and just happened to have buttons to match each color , cuz the buttons were an after thought ;)
Hope you have a great week end and don't forget to enter your scrapbook page in the February Share Your Memories Here contest. Today is the last day to link up!

Happy Birthday Coupons

Hey everyone!! Samantha here!

My mom's birthday is on Monday so to celebrate, I made her a little coupon book to go along with her presents. This coupon book was cut out using the Cricut Mother's Day cartridge, which is available in store here.

The Mother's Day cartridge is a GREAT cartridge and it has many great cuts on it that could be used for any occasion, like the little coupon book cuts.

All my pieces were cut out at 2inches with the REAL SIZE DIAL button OFF (not lit up!). That made the cover and the pages all fit together nicely.

The green piece is actually bound to my book and there are perforated lines so that you can rip the coupons out as needed.

Since my mother's birthday isn't until Monday, I can't post the full details on my own blog until Monday (she occasionally takes a peek at my blog and I would hate to ruin the surprise! LOL)

Happy Crafting,

Cake in a Box version 2

Hello everyone!
It's Karli, with a simply sweet little project to share with you today. Remember this card I shared last week?

Well, this little box

was supposed to accompany it, but I was all out of one key ingredient...
a Hostess Cupcake!

It's a cake in a box :) Very easy to put together.

I used the Snag 'Em stamps from the Piece of Cake set on the lid. The insides of each circle are glittered. The sentiments were cut on my Cricut with the Wild Card Cart. I tied Pebbles Ribbon around the lid and the candle.

Here they are together:

It's an inexpensive, but sweet way to give a little birthday treat!
I'll have a video tutorial on my blog later this week if you're interested. Thanks for peeking at my little project. Hope you have a sweet weekend!

Happy Halloween mini

Here are some pages from my Halloween mini that I just finished. I used my Circut Expression to cut out the letters on this front page. I cut all of the paper for my pages at 4 x6 on my Cricut as well. It makes it nice and easy and all my pages come out at just the right size. I used my 12 x 12 mat to cut my paper for my pages and my tags.

We'll Miss You Brenda

Our fabulous DT member, Brenda, has just been informed by her employer ( a large crafting retail store) that she is not allowed to participate in any "outside of work activities" that promote any other competitor stores. So that means she's not able to be on the Your Memories Here DT any longer :(

That leaves me with the decision of how to fill her Tuesday posting spot. At this moment I'm thinking "Monthly Guest Designer". I'll be posting more about this later, when I figure out all the details.
