Princess Adorable

Good Morning! Today's challenge for Cooking with Cricut DT was to make a project with at least 3 flowers on it. Always, fun!

I picked out the patterned paper from the DCWV Premium Stack (if you haven't been following my blog for the last week or two, I am in love with this stack). The solid black is Recollections, the sparkly white is also DCWV, and the sparkly red is Bazzill.

The flowers were cute from the Cindy Loo cartridge, at 3.5" and 2.45".

The princess title is from the New Playtime cartridge at 3.5" (I think). I didn't get a knew expressions from Walmart, but I was lucky enough to win both the Playtime and Cricut Classic Font off Ebay. They were used, so no one was really bidding on them, but they were from a respectable seller and weren't linked to a Gypsy and I won them for $50 for the set!! Anyway, I got them and they were in perfect condition and I love them. 

The tag was cut from the Sweethearts cartridge. I am not sure of the exact measurements, because I had to finagle it so that it would all fit, so it is not exactly how it originally was, it ended up odd measurements. The jewels are from the Joann's $1 Bin (Love this).

Lastly, I just had to show you all this photo. The photo on the layout is my daughter when she was around 9 months and then this is her yesterday. She was so excited that this was a picture of her when she was little that she wanted to take a picture with it. So cute!

Now, if you haven't been there yet hop on over to Cooking with Cricut and take a look at the other Design Team members creations and play along on this challenge with us!

Milk It

My mother-in-law just recently got out of the hospital from surgery and since we haven't been able to see her yet (they live about 1 1/2 hours away) I wanted to send her a card till we can get up there. This turned out so much cuter once I got in the zone. I think that it turned out fabulous, hope that you enjoy!

I Hate Scraps...

Happy 1/11/11!! I just think this is neat!

At least patterned ones. I always end up putting them in my scrap bin for later and rarely use them. They just pile up and I never remember what I have or what I might need. I'm sure that if I had a better system for them I might use them more, but I don't and I kind of like my system. So, I've decided that I will just try and use all the patterned paper at the time and not have to put any into my scraps bin.

So, that being said, this card is a little sneak peek at my Cooking with Cricut project for tomorrow. I used all the scraps from my project on this card.


All the patterned paper is from DCWV's "The ULTIMATE Premium Stack". It is awesome. I picked it up from Joann's for $11.99 and when I got it home I just fell in love. It is the one that is seperated by tabs into different categories. For example, these papers are from the "Winter" tab, but there are Christmas, Spring, Summer, Fall, Textures, etc. tabs. They are great. The best thing about it is that the papers in each tab go together perfectly. The buttons I'm not sure where I got, I've had them for a while. The sentiment, "Warmest Winter Wishes" is a My Pink Stamper stamp...love these!! The tag is from Once Upon a Princess (I think, sorry). I promise I will try and get better at making sure I know where things came from. Sometimes though I am just in the zone...I'm sure some of you can relate.

Well, this post has gotten extremely long and if any of you are like me, you have lost interested after the 1st sentence, so if you have gotten this far...I appreciate it! Make sure that you check in tomorrow for my Cooking with Cricut project!
