My Cricut Craft Room 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Welcome to
My Cricut Craft Room's
100 Cartridge Blog Hop

You should have come from
Simply Sweet by Sharon
If you did not please start at the begining of the hop at
My Cricut Craft Room

For my project this month, I created an interactive songbook
for my preschool class to use during Circle Time.
Obviously, the kiddos would destroy this in a second
if I let them use it on their own. So, I plan to only
use it during our Circle Time... with teacher supervision.

If you are interested in any of the lyrics to the songs,
you can email me at shellabc@prekfun.com
and I would be glad to send them to you.

(For the cover, I used Plantin Schoolbook cartridge)

(Old MacDonald Had A Farm page... I used Create A Critter)

Each animal is laminated with velcro on the back...
as we sing Old MacDonald Had A Farm... one child at a time
will place his/her animal onto the barn and we sing about that animal.

(All the Fish Are Swimming in the Water page...
I used Everyday Paper Dolls)
(Mr. Sun page... I used Simply Charmed Cartridge)

(Five Little Hotdogs... I used Simply Charmed Cartridge)

Each hotdog is attached to the pan by velcro...
this is a fun counting song.

(A Pirate's Life For Me Page...
I used B is For Boy Cricut Lite cartridge & Paper Doll Dress Up)

(I've Been Working On the Railroad & Engine, Engine pages...
I used Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge)

(Zoo Animal Pages... I used Create A Critter & B is for Boy Cricut Lite)

(Airplane page includes an airplane "puppet"... attached the cut to a popsicle
stick... so child can "fly" the airplane around. I used the "B Is For Boy" Cricut Lite cart.
to create the airplane.)

Happy Terp-day

My husband turns 30 on Friday, so I made him a little card. He likes terrapins, so it seems as if I always make him terp- themed cards. This card uses one of Sliekje's digital stamps, DCWV Summer Dream paper, and some of my homemade "baker's twine".

Would You Guess Wednesday

Today is...

Would You Guess Wednesday
over at
My Cricut Craftroom.

This means... when you look at the handbook,
you cannot use the main image on the left side of the page.
But you can use ALL of the other features or layers.

(Which is what I have done for this project)

or

You can use a CAKE cartridge to make a Paper creation.

or

On certain days we can use the same paper
and see what everyone does with
the same paper collection.

or

You may also pick a 'partner'...
Basically we partner up and use the same cartridge
with the same pages, sizes and cuts.

For my project, I used an apple from
HAPPILY EVER AFTER DISNEY cartridge.
The cut was actually made by Kitty Cropper
and I used it to create this cute Back to School card.
But she used my Disney cart to cut it
for the KC Croppers Cut Swap.
I actually use the "other" features on
this cart more than the main images.
This is a great cartridge to have even
if you don't like all the Disney princesses.

Thanks for stopping by!
Be sure to check out the other talented ladies
projects for Would You Guess Wednesday
over at My Cricut Craftroom!

Wizard of Oz Chipboard Album

Okay...
I am not completely finished with it... yet....
but I wanted to show you all a lil' teaser pic!

I absolutely LOVE this album!!
It is a kit from Archivers.
I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.

I was a bit intimidated by it at first but once I opened up my pkg.
and started reading all the directions... it was a breeze!

More pics of the Oz album to come later this week!!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow too...
I have a card I am posting that I created for
My Cricut Craftroom's DT.

Thinking of You

A little card I banged out in a few minutes using a cut from the KC Croppers cut swap and some pretty new Me and My Big Ideas paper I got for a song at TJ Maxx. I'm a sucker for those fall colors!

Fall / Halloween Cut Swap

Hello

First of all... I apologize for not posting much lately....
I have been super busy.
I'm so glad that Kristie and I share this blog...
seems to work out pretty good...
she posts when I am unable and I post when she is unable to.

Last week I had Jury Duty... it went pretty good...
I got out of it after the first day.
I was one of the lucky ones who was not chosen for the actual jury.
Thank goodness!!

I have been doing a lot of scrapping in what little spare time
I have had recently. So there will be plenty to post in the near future.
One project that I am super excited about is a Wizard of Oz chipboard
album kit from Archiver's that I have almost completed...
I absolutely LOVE it!!
Pics are coming soon!!
I am hoping to have it completed sometime this week.

I am currently participating in two Cricut Cut Swaps...
the first is the KC Croppers Cut Swap and the other
is the My Cricut Craft Room Design Team Fall / Halloween Swap.
I have added a pic below of my cuts for the Fall / Halloween Swap.

I hope everyone has a great week!
My thoughts and prayers go out to all
those who were affected by Hurricane Irene.

Cuts are from:
Simply Charmed (Ghost),
Speaking of Fall (Pumpkin),
Hello Kitty Greetings (Bat)
