I must admit that this was somewhat difficult to photograph in my small space.  I love the way it turned out though.  I had hoped to take a picture at the shower that I made this for, but was unable to.  I used the following tools and supplies: Paper from my stash 3 ivy bowels from Joann's Pink tissue paper from Walmart Styrofoam rectangle cut into blocks (wrapped in the tissue paper) Dowel rod cut into 10" pieces Rose metallic paint Heart brads from my stash. Cricut - CCR Exlusive -"Party Picks and Pennants" Cricut - Country Life Template - us cut a 5X5" square I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching and have a great day.  The inspiration for this project came from Sarah at LiveloveandSCRAP on You Tube.

Hasn't this week of projects been fun?  Some of the projects I've seen have really inspired me to pull out some of those cartridges I haven't used in a while.  Nate' ABC's is probably at the top of the list.  Everyone has done such a great job.  The stamps from K. Andrew Designs are so versatile.  There have been so many creative pairings of sentiments with cartridges this week! The stamp set I chose to use on today's card is Food for Thought . You can click on the picture to order this and other stamps from K. Andrew Designs. I wanted to give a little background for this card.  My daughter has been having some health issues over the last few weeks.  In an attempt to discover what is causing this, we eliminated dairy products from her diet.  Saturday will be the end of the 2 week period and the day that she is able to re-introduce dairy.  It's been a tough 2 weeks.  You never realize how much dairy you eat until you attempt to elimi...

I'm really sorry to be so late with this post.  It's been a long day and I've not made it to write this post.  Today, I made a bookmark to go in my "new" guestbook.  It was a pretty simple project and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Let's Get Started - I used a left-over piece of the cardstock from to guestbook to form the base of the bookmark. This was cut to be 9"X4" and was from "penny's Playground - Quick Quotes Paper".  I then cut a piece of smooth Coordination cardstock in purple at 8"X3 1/2".  I pulled a piece of cream colored cardstock from my scrap stash by "Recollections" and cut it at 7 1/2"X3".  I then rounded the right hand corners of all three pieces using the 3/8" side of my corner chomper.  I inked around the edges of all 3 pieces with "Dusty Concord" Distress Ink.  Holes were placed in the left hand side of the bookmark with the Bind-It-All and then the ...

Good morning everyone and welcome to the Tuesday Tutorial at Getting Cricky.  Today I am combining the Tuesday Tutorial with the "Choose a Cartridge" pre-hop challenge that is going on.  I really hope you have been following the fun.  If not, you might be a bit confused.  Several Getting Cricky Design Team Members are challenging themselves to use one Cricut Cartridge all week.  The extra challenge is that we are using a cartridge that we haven't used in at least 3 months!  To add to the fun, we get to use any stamp from K. Andrew Designs that we wish.  It is challenging and a great way to think outside of the box. The fun doesn't stop there.  Anyone can play along.  All you need to do is link a project using a cartridge that you haven't used in 3 or months.  You will also need to use stamps from K. Andrew Designs.  I hope you join in the fun. Today, I am showing you a guest book that I altered.  No, I'm not getting marri...

Welcome to day 2 of Getting Cricky Fun.  If you missed day one of this fun series, you will want to go back and see that post.  In it, I explain all about the fun going on at Getting Cricky and I also post a preview of the stamp set that I will be giving away.  Today's entry chances are listed at the bottom of this post.  Today I made this fun Valentine Card for you to view.  I used the "It's Valentines" stamp set from K. Andrew Designs. So now on to today's project.  The heart has a homemade wiggle wire.  I learned to make this from one of my Getting Cricky Design Teammates.  You can see this great tutorial by Amy at Love to Crop by clicking here . This is probably the last Valentine I will post this year.  I hope you enjoy it as well as the video tutorial.  Thanks for watching and have a great day! Blog Candy Entries 1.

Welcome to day one of Getting Cricky Fun.  This week those of the Design Team playing along have chosen to use only 1 Cricut Cartridge or SVG set to create each day's projects.  The week will conclude on Friday with the "Cabin Fever" blog hop.  Our goal is to show you just how versatile Kristal's stamps are and also to get out those Cricut cartridges we have never used or at least not used much.  But the fun doesn't stop there.  You will also be able to link up your projects using a cartridge you haven't used in awhile.  To link a project you need to: 1. Choose a cartridge you haven't used in a while 2. Use K. Andrew Design Stamps in that project I have chosen to use Country Life.  I believe that I have only used it 1 time and it was time to explore this great cartridge.  I think its going to be a bit of a challenge, but I think I'm up for it.  There are some interesting ideas racing through my brain.  You should find something th...

In this video, I will show you how I made a couple of ribbon books.  This project was not that difficult.  I hope you give it a try.  Thanks for watching.  Hope to see you back soon. To see the book that inspired me to make this one, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2rDfEJBcKE
