Erica's Craft Room Theme Thursday

It is Theme Thursday over at Erica's Craft Room. I chose to use the Forever Young cartridge. As I sat trying to decide what to make, I flipped through the booklet and this shadow reminded me of this picture of my daughter. I dug out the photo and got to work on the layout. I cut both the shadow and the piece it is mounted on were cut at five inches. I added some liquid pearls that are available from Erica's Craft Room Store. I typed up the text and couldn't resist using a play on words with the cartridge name as my title and last two words of the journaling. I used the shadow feature in Calligraphy to cut the title. The title was fading into the printed paper, so I went over it with stickles to help it stand out. I hope you enjoy the layout.

Okay, I don't know what is wrong with the camera. It is leaving what looks like a grease spot in the middle of all the pics. I will try to figure it out.

Okay, since I had the cart out and I needed something to put some stick pins in to send to someone I had to make this little purse. Isn't it precious? I love it. I just cut it fit to page and then cut the flower at 3inches. Added a little stickles, okay I admit it. I have a stickles addiction. Anyway, don't you love that polka dotted paper? It is the back side of one of the BoBunny Sweet Tooth papers. If you don't have these papers, trust me you want them. Head over to Erica's store and order them now. Check back tomorrow and I will show you a little set of cards I made using a sheet of this BoBunny paper. Yes, me the non card maker said a set of cards. These papers make it easy. They are just so fun to use.

Well you know I love your comments, so feel free to leave me a little love. If you want to see more projects like mine head over to Erica's Craft Room and check out all of today's projects. You will love what the other team members have come up with to share with you.
Hugs!

A Little Card Set

Hi everyone! I could hardly wait to share this project with you. I got the cutest papers from the Erica's Craft Room Store. They are from the BoBunny Sweet Tooth Collection. I made a couple of birthday cards and a couple of notecards.

On the first card I did a fussy cut around the cake and added a Jillibean Soup Label that I also got from Erica (did I tell you she carries some great products and has super customer service?). How is this for a quick easy card?

For the next one, I used a stamp amd my Zing embossing powders. I am still not great with embossing, but I am getting better.

This one uses the embossing again and a few fussy cut flowers from the back side of the polka dotted paper.

The last one has a cricut cut flower from Forever Young, I added some stickles and called it done. These were super easy and super quick. All four only took about 15 minutes. It literally took longer for the stickles to dry than it did to make the cards. I hope you like them.

A Card, Yes you read that right... a card!

Okay, I don't consider myself a card maker. I have decided it would be beneficial to become a card maker and keep some cards on hand. I was doing some blog surfing this weekend and came across one of the best blogs I have visited in a while. It is My Cricut Craft Room: Erica's Craft Room . There is so much going on at this blog. Daily postings, Challenges, Swaps, and more... I decided to create the card for their current card challenge. I used two cartridges to make this card: Forever Young, Twinkle Toes, and Cricut Craft Room Basics. The two actual carts had never been used. They were still wrapped in the plastic shell. They probably still would not have been used it it were not for the free Cricut Craft Room. I went into CCR and started designing the card. It is really an easy program to use. Anyway... I laid out the card and then did the cutting. When I was looking for a rectangle with rounded corners, I found one on Twinkle Toes. I was looking for a person or animal to put on the card and found one in Forever Young. I was excited, because I was going to use not one but two carts I hadn't used before. It is one of my goals to use my cricut more.

Those of you that know me know I LOVE Echo Park papers. I wanted to use the Be Mine collection again they are great papers even though it is not Valentine's Day. I cut out the individual layers. I made the base out of Recollections black paper, as well as the lady and the word. Once I had it all layered, I added some black diamond and diamond dust stickles. What do you think? Head on over the Erica's blog and join the challenge yourself.

Have a super week and check back soon. I will be posting things more often.
