WOULD YOU GUESS WEDNESDAY


Today I am Featured at
My Cricut Craft Room
for Would You Guess Wednesday.






Would you ever guess...
that I used the Disney Happily Ever After cartridge
to create this Fall layout.


Both the owl and squirrel came from the Disney cartridge.
There are so many great images other
than just the main images on cartridges.

Check out more Would You Guess Wednesday projects

September Cut Swap



Here are my September KC Croppers cut swap cuts. I recently purchased the Four Legged Friends cartridge, so I used it on both cuts. I know I am always talking up the great deals to be found on Ebay, but this cartridge served as an important reminder that every once in a while, you find a bad apple. I bought this for $23 in August, and never received it. Ebay canceled the listing before I could dispute, so now I'm having to go through the Buy It Now service for a refund, and it's slow going, to say the least. I guess it was fated that I own this cart, though, because I happened to find it at my local Walmart- the only one left, tossed on a bottom shelf- even though it has been out of stock forever.

I feel a little silly about the lengths I've gone to to get it, considering that I really only bought it for one cut- the cute little hamster. I do really like the other cuts too, though, now that I have had a chance to examine them. I think I'll be using Four Legged Friends a lot. It's not quite Create -A- Critter, but it does have a lot of cute animal cuts, and I'm all about cute little animals!

Card Creating Tuesday

It seems like here lately I have been making more cards than layouts.

Here are some of my most recent.




The two cartridges I used for these lil' cards are...
Simply Charmed cartridge... for the sun
Just Because Cards cartridge... for the card itself.





Then I added some paper from DCWV Stack 7,
a little red button to each, and used some
yellow twine to attach the button to the card.





For this card, I used Create A Critter cartridge
to create the cute chick. I also used yellow cardstock,
DCWV Stack 7 paper, orange ribbon, and I printed
the wording on with my printer. I really love
how this one turned out... very simple!






I made this Batman card for my 9 yr. old nephew.
This cut actually came from Anndell McGuire
(a fellow KC Cropper) from the KC Croppers Cut Swap group.
I knew right away I had to make a birthday card
for my nephew with it. The cut was made from
Batman: Brave & the Bold cartridge.
Thanks Anndell!! I used yellow, navy blue, and black cardstock.
Inked the edges and added little bats on the bottom with a marker.




The final card, I made for my Mom...
I used the
Spring Holidays Card cartridge
and added a few lil' embellishments.

Wedding Card



Remember my KC Croppers Cut Swap cuts for last month? Of course you do! This is the little card the cuts were made for. One of my cousins was married last weekend, and this is the card I made her. The cuts are altered from Twinkle Toes dancers, and I used one of my Sizzix embossing folders for the textured background.

My Cricut Craftroom Scrapbook Saturday

Here is my layout for
Scrapbook Saturday!

I used cuts (from Molly Burkett on the KC Croppers
Cut Swap group) on this layout.
The flower came from Walk In My Garden and the leaf came
from Plantin School Book Font cartridge.
Thanks Molly for the cute cuts...
they worked great on my layout!!
I also lightly inked the edges of my
photo mats with purple ink.
Sorry, I can't remember where the paper came from...
It is some that I have had lying around for awhile.
Now to adhere my pics!
