Cricut Gypsy!

Thursday, August 11, 2011 0 Comments A+ a-

Hi everyone! 


This is just going to be a short little update because I haven't really created anything. 


Yesterday I bought a gypsy. Here is the thing I got the best deal in the world! They are regularly $287 at WalMart and this one was on sale for $187. HOWEVER when I got to the cash the price came up at $135!! I saved so much money on the gypsy! 
Now all I have to do is learn how to use it really well. All I have done is link my carts and do all the updates to my cricut and the gypsy!


I will say that the updates take a long time if you are just starting with it now and need to do all of them. 

Cricut Cardz Challenge #86

Thursday, August 04, 2011 8 Comments A+ a-

This week's challenge is to make any card using a fruit on it. You can find the challenge here: Challenge


You will notice that I was chosen as last week's winner! This is very exciting for me because I have never been chosen, even randomly, to win anything before. 


This week I have chosen to use the Just Because Cards cartridge and put my own spin on it. 


All the cuts were made at 2 3/4. I added some stickles to it and some ribbon. The watermelon was cut using an extra layer to make it look more like a real watermelon. The ribbon is just the Michaels brand. The card base is an 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock cut in half. All the paper is from recollections. 


Hope you enjoy. 


Happy creating!

Whimisical Wednesday Challenge: "Sense of Humour"

Thursday, August 04, 2011 12 Comments A+ a-

Hello again everyone! I have been busy today. I have been making a layout for the Whimsical Wednesday challenge. This week's challenge is to use humour. I chose pictures of my cat because he is really funny! 



 I cut the little paw print border out using the Cricut Lite Meow cartridge. I really like this cartridge because I have two cats. It was cut at 2 inches. 
 The small paw prints are the leftover bits from cutting the border out. 
 The matte paper is from DCWV animal crackers pack. 
 The butterflies are made from a martha stewart punch. 
 The alphas and striped paper are from the October Afternoon 5 and dime collection. It was featured in last months (or this month) kit from My Scrapbook Nook. 
I made the tag for journalling from the same Meow cartridge. It was cut at 3 inches. 


This is my submission for the Whimiscal Wednesday Challenge this week. You can find the challenge here: Challenge


Enjoy and happy creating!
