02/07/2012 Love the USA Frame

Another project that I created today to use up my stash.  I am doing pretty well however I am itching to purchase new items.  Once I feel my stash is under control and I have used up some of these things...yep like these frames.... then I will buy again....

This also qualifies for Challenge #2 over at The Scrap Beach

I used the long retired Blue Ribbon Paper from CTMH, buttons for my stash (many old retired CTMH) and the Stickease from the Paper Collection as well.  Enjoy!

02/03/2012 Sonoma Layout using Stella WOTG Pattern

Sometimes I am not a huge fan of the paper that a pattern is paired with....just being honest.  However I loved the new layout for the Stella Collection after I saw it in person.  I knew that I wanted to try the layout in Lucy and the Sonoma Collection.  Tonight after everyone went to bed I started out to make my first layout.  I hope you like it.  Enjoy!

I decided to play along with BettyBee.  I have learned a great deal on her Ustream Cricut Classes on using my Cricut Expression.  Since her birthday was this month too she is hosting a give-a-way and the rules are as follows:

Create a card or other project for someone else, photograph it, blog about it, then link it here.  Not only will you be doing something that makes someone else feel good, and you will feel great :) , but you will be entered into the drawing for Blog Candy for each entry!  


She is giving away a Cricut Birthday Cakes Cartridge (yep-it works in the Expressions) and Birthday Themed Cuttlebug folders.  I am excited!


So here is my entry for the prize:  A Spring theme Mini Album!  I love the colors and hope that the sunshine will warm everyone's day!  Love it!
