Guest Blogger - Sadie and her Father's Day card

Please welcome a guest blogger to my blog - my daughter Sadie!  Sadie is a very artsy girl and loves to create all sorts of things!  Here is her post (only spellchecked by mom :]):

Hi my name is Sadie. I am 8 years old! And I enjoy scrapbooking with my mom!

I made this card for my step dad, Joe. I made this card from Campin' Critters. How I made the water was cool! I used the CUTTLEBUG. I embossed one called Tiny Bubbles. Happy Father's Day was a stamp.

 The wings  are flocked.  Isn't that cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My mom thought that it would be cool to make them fuzzy. That was the first time that she had done it. We put a tip of glue, then mom got a box, she said to sprinkle this stuff on like it was glitter. If u could feel it you would say it was cool! To glue it together I just pretended that it was not there.

I hope you like it!

Here is the card I made my grandpa:

Isn't that funny?




Thanks for visiting today!

Daisy Bridging

It's hard to believe that this was a year ago already!  My oldest daughter bridged from Daisy to Brownie Girl Scouts last spring.  When I saw the badge feature on Campin' Critters, I knew I would use them for this layout.  Plus, a great sketch was posted on the Cricut Circle blog as a challenge this week so I used that too!

This is the complete layout:

Here is the sketch:

I turned it on it's side and used it for the left side of my layout.

I then carried the design to the right side.  I'm not crazy about the flower background paper but I couldn't find that "just right" piece so I settled for them.  They are from the Girl Scout stack by K&Co.  All the solid papers are Creative Memories colors.

I wanted to share some of the details with you, as the badge feature isn't super clear in the handbook as to what layers are what so I thought you might be interested!

First, here is the eagle cut at 4".

I have two badges on the left page, the butterfly from p. 47 and the music notes from p. 33.  These are cut at 2".  I didn't want to do the camping images like the fire and lantern because they don't camp yet as Daisies. Maybe in a future layout as she gets older!

 The word bridging is cut from the Cupcake Lite at 1.3".  I am seriously in love with that font!!!  The sticker letters were from my stash.

There are three badges on the right page, the notebook from p. 70, the bunny from p. 57 and the compass from p. 37, all cut at 2".  I'm not completely happy with that little bunny as there is no layer for the eyes and I think it looks strange like that but I also didn't want to put googly eyes on him either.  Oh well! 

I hope you like the layout and here's hoping for the blog challenge!

Introducing...

I have been wanting the cartridge Campin' Critters ever since the day it came out.  This week was my chance!  JoAnn's has their Cricut carts on sale for $29.99 so I went and bought a few.  They didn't have CC though.  Luckily my Michael's price matches without a hassle so I ran over there and they did have CC in stock!  I was so excited!  I completed three projects with this cart in the two days after I got it!

The first was a baby card for some friends of ours who just had boy #2.  There also is a Tic Tac Toe challenge going on at the Cricut Circle blog so I made this card to suit that too.  Here is the Tic Tac Toe board, of which I filled the top row.

And here is the card!

This is the sun from Campin' Critters, cut at 3".  My welded word is from the Cupcake Lite cart, at 0.5".  The buttons to complete the Tic Tac Toe row are on the inside of the card.  My original plan was for them to be the ... after introducing but they were way too big!  Not sure what I was thinking there! :)  So they had to go inside instead.  I added some twine to make them cute.

Gabe is the new boy's name.  In this picture it looks like Gabel but really that's an exclamation point at the end.  I must have taken the picture a leaning a little and it covered the dot up. 

Here is a side view of the card:

I will post my other two CC projects coming up soon.  I totally love this cart!!
