Cricut Obsession

I am totally obsessed with my Cricut Cartridges, Expression and Gypsy!   I think about what I can make with my cartridges all day long at work!   I troll blogs and get such great ideas from all of the ladies and men out there that are so talented.    I picked up the new Cricut Cartridge PRESERVES last night on eBay for $26 and free shipping!   I saw some really great paper in the new CTMH catalog that will be perfect to use with the PRESERVES cartridge.   I have an all day crop tomorrow and I plan on creating with my E and G all day!  I will post all of my creations either Saturday night or Sunday morning.  Hope you stop by and check it out.  Once I get my blog more organized and I get better at updating it several times a week with my creations I will start promoting more and have some blog candy!

Updating of Blog

I made some changes to the looks of my blog and I am committing myself to posting more of my creations and card/scrap related posts. I tried to scrap on Sunday night while I was watching the Survivor finale but my darn cat kept getting in the way, if he wasn't laying on my papers he was messing my Expression so I gave up!

I am attending an all day crop this Saturday and plan on working on cards. So look for an update on Sunday hopefully full of great new cards I made with my Expression and Gypsy!

Cards

Here are some cards I made this past Saturday at the crop I went to in Quakertown. I had a great time and made some fun cards I gave to my mother for Mother's Day. Here they are:

I used CTMH paper and inks, the stamp and punch were SU and I embossed with a cuttlebug folder.

Paper, stamp, ink and rick rack all CTMH and the adorable Hippo is from the new Cricut Create a Critter (CAC) cart.

Cardstock, stamps and ink CTMH, Patterned paper is Basic Grey Kioshi and the Panda is from CAC.

Again paper, stamp and ink CTMH and the Owl is from CAC.

I LOVE Create a Critter

Ok, Create a Critter (CAC) has to be Cricuts best cartridge EVER! I just love it! I am going to a crop on Saturday and I plan on making cards with it ALL day. And just so you know how much I LOVE this cartridge I failed to mention that I am the proud new owner of an Expression. I finally upgraded my baby bug to the E!! Here are two cards I made the other night with CAC. The cat is a shaped card I made by playing with the images and layers using my Gypsy another awesome crafting tool that I am finally getting the hang of using! The mushroom card I scraplifted from an image I saw on mypinkstamper's blog.

Happy Spring

Here are a few things that I worked on this weekend.

The card and the triangle treat box I made for a contest on a blog (see previous post). I used CTMH papers, and cuttlebug embossing folders.

The cat stamps below I picked up at the scrap stamp art tour that was in Oaks this weekend. I just thought they were adorable. I already used the to make a birthday card for my mother in law. I also used my new colored pencils and experiments with gamsol. Fun!

And last but not least, is my kitty -- Sonny. He loves when I get my Cricut out. He likes to watch the paper moving. I was helping Katy with a school project (another great use for the Cricut) and he was helping!

I made a card!

I haven't been gettning much of anything done lately. No scrapping, no cardmaking, not much of anything! But this weekend I hosted an all day crop as a benefit for my dd's high school marching band and I managed to get one card done! Not much but at least it was something! The weatherman is calling for a very rainy weekend here is S.E. Pennsylvania so I am hoping to get my mojo flowing and get some stuff done! Here is my card:


Card base: Bazzill cardstock, Scalloped Circle: cut with large size Spellbinders Nestabilities, Butterfly Paper: Basic Grey, Stamp and Ink: CTMH.
