#114 Pink Cricut Guest Designer card

Hello everyone I am so excited to be a Guest Designer today for Sarah PINK CRICUT! I thought I'd share a card I made with Nate's ABC's cart and the Hopsctoch Cricut Imagine Cart. I cut the main image along with the small butterfly with Nate's ABC's and I printed the cloud paper on Kraft cardstock with my Imagine. The large butterfly punch is from Martha Stewart. I also did a little faux stitching and added pearls to the butterfly. The sentiment is GO GREEN from Pink By Design..

#93 Card full of Sunshine!

Hi everyone here's my card I made for the Paper Playtime DT challenge which is "Weather" so that means you can make anything that has to do with weather...rain, sunshine, clouds, lightning, snow, rainbows, etc. I chose sunshine since I am hoping for sunnier days here in not so sunny Southern California lol! It's actually been raining almost all week long here!

For my sunny card I cut/print the sun from the Better Together Cricut Imagine cart and stamped the sentiment with Pink By Design stamps. I also added some Valentine's Day ribbon that worked out perfect with my color combo! If you would like to play along with Paper Playtime's challenge be sure to click HERE. Also just a reminder that I will be a Guest Designer for PEACHY KEEN STAMPS all week long (4/11-4/15)!!

#87 Birthday Invite

***Click here for the April Bunny Blog Hop***

***Click HERE for Flaunt It Friday's***

Hi everyone I  was super excited when my sweet friend KASSIDY Inking It Up Crazy asked me to join in her Birthday week celebration theme as a Guest Designer. She asked me to create a Birthday Invitation.

One of the main reason's I bought my Imagine was so that I could make my own Invitations when I have my parties. I made this invitation super fast, it's perfect for days when you just don't feel like messing with a lot of layers. I print/cut this cute cupcake with the Better Together Imagine cart, stamped both stamps with Inkadinkado/Martha Stewart stamps. Below I also cut the same cupcake but a mini cupcake for the envelope.

#80,81, 82 Imagine That Blog Hop

Welcome to the Imagine That Blog Hop hosted by yours truly. My sweet hubby spoiled me with a Cricut Imagine that I got for a great price just 2 weeks ago. I decided to host an Imagine hop because I want to get  some ideas on what I can do with this wonderful machine. I am in love my new Cricut I did feel guilty like I was replacing my old Cricut for a newer younger model LOL! Once I started playing around with it more and more I didn't feel guilty anymore! This machine is just so cool, you can do so much with it, it's like magic! I am still amazed that it prints and cuts the item out at the same time. If you are wondering if I am going to do just all Imagine projects from now on, the answer is no because I actually have an addiction to paper!  I like the Imagine because it's so fast, on my Thursday project I made a layout in 30 minutes when they usually take me 2 or 3 hours.

For this blog hop I asked everyone to make an "Anything Goes" project and originally I was only going to be this one card but then I became addicted and was playing with my Imagine all day LOL!

For my 1st project I created this card from the Best Friends Imagine cart for the girl, sentiment and also the flower patterned paper. The marquee shape was already programed in the Best Friends cart and I just changed it to the flower paper. I also cut the green cardstock and embossed with my Create a Critter Cuttlebug Companion folder. 

If you are wondering why did I use the same exact sentiment from my card it's because this was the original cut and it was way too big for a 5x5 card so I said to myself "I can't waste it!" LOL so then I decided to make an altered picture frame of me and my son Aidan on his 1st birthday in 2008.  I layered the sentiment on cereal box chipboard 3 times for some dimension and added a swirly bling this was my first time ever using swirly bling and I love it! The flower paper is also from the Best Friends cart. I print and cut ALL of my paper on Walmart's white cardstock I got it for about $5 for 150 sheets!

Now for my 3rd project I just couldn't stop at 2 since I am addicted now! I made my son a T-Shirt! wow I still can't believe I am making him clothes now and him and my hubby were so proud of me after I made this. It was so super easy! This shirt only took me 15 minutes from start to finish including all ironing! I bought this shirt at Joann's but it was actually was too big for Aidan this was a 4-6  and he is only in 3t/4t yikes...bad mommy! Oh well! I just really really wanted a black shirt for him so I got it anyways. I also purchased printable iron on transfer for dark colored fabric at Joann's. All I had to do was lay the sheet of Iron On transfer on my mat and print and cut away! The dog is also from the Best Friends cart. After it print/cut I just had to lay the dog and transfer paper on the shirt and then it was all finished! 

Here is Aidan modeling his shirt right before bedtime! He actually wants to wear this shirt all the time and keeps bringing me the iron on transfer paper package and telling me more, mommy more shirt! Hmmmm maybe Provo Craft should come out with a  "T-Shirt Imagine Cart"!!

#78 Cricut Imagine Layout

***This is my 2nd post today please scroll down for my DDLL DT project***

Good morning everyone! Here's a layout I made completely with my Cricut Imagine! All 4 pieces of patterned paper, the hearts, bear, and title are from the Better Together cartridge. The banner on top left is from Imagine More. This was super fast and easy for me I think it took me about 30 minutes from start to finish and that's fast for me because my layout usually take me 2 or 3 hours to make! I also added a border from my MS lace punch and some pink pearls. I follwed the sketch bellow for the SASSY LIL SKETCHES MARCH 14TH CHALLENGE, also entering PAPER CUTZ anything goes challenge.

Be sure to stop by this weekend for the Cricut Imagine Blog Hop that I will be hosting!
