ME AND MICKEY BLOG HOP

Welcome and thank you for visiting the Me and Mickey Blog Hop. If you are coming from Allison's blog, you are in the right spot and if you need to start from the beginning you should start with Michele Here. . First and foremost I want to say Happy Birthday to Rexann and belated to Mickey.
For my project I thought I would make a card but then thought I wanted to do something a little different and this is what I came up with.

To start you need a regular size gift bag and cut a piece of pattern paper to 7 6/8 by 10 3/8to cover the front of the bag.

Next I used Mickey's Font cartridge and cut Happy Birthday with the Mickey ears tag and letter tags cut at 1.5 inches.

NOw it is time for the most time consuming part, cutting at the layers for Mickey and Friends. I used the Mickey and Friends cartridge, everything is cut at 4 inches.

Lastly, I cut the table from the Cricut Cake cartridge Birthday Cakes cut at 3.5 and the cake for Stamping Solution Cartridge cut at 2.5.

When you put everything together, you come up with this great gift bag.

I really hope that you like my gift bag and if you don't mind please take a look around become a follower.

Now for Blog Candy time. All you have to do is leave a comment and become a follower and you come win your choice of a green or purple Cricut Vinyl and an extra little surprise in your package. The winner will be announced on Monday the 21st, make sure to check back to find out if you are the winner.

OCTOBER MONTHLY CHALLENGE: Halloween Home Decor Challenge!

This is a project I made for a Cricut Circle Challenge.

I started with these battery operated candles I got from The Christmas Tree Shop.

For the decorations are from the Seasonal Cake cartridge and used the Imagine to color the images. The most important part is that you have to print on tissue paper and you have to tape the tissue paper to a regular piece of cardstock. I also made a mistake and did not flip the images. Ooops.

 Know to get the image on the candle you have to put the design on the candle with the printed size towards the candle then hold it together with a piece of wax paper and use a heat gun to get the image on (the tissue paper melts away, I have no idea how.

And here is how it turned out:

Hope you like it and let me know if you have any questions.

I'm Back!!!!!!!!!

BLOGIVERSARY CHALLENGE: Sketch Challenge!

I made this one for a challenge on the circle blog where you had to follow this sketch.

And this what I made.

I used Art Philosophy for the flower cut a 3.25 and the ribbon is from Autumn Celebrations cut at 2.5.

Cricut Circle Monthly Echo Park Contest

I made this for the Circle monthly contest. You had to use Echo Park paper and at least 2 cricut cuts. I used Echo Park Little Girl Collection and  this is what I came up with.

It's a place where I can put all the things that we have to do in a week.

I started with a white picture frame that I got from ACMoore.

I then painted it with Martha Stewart craft paint ( love this stuff) and cut 8 different pieces of paper into 4x6 rectangles and glued them to the cardboard back. I used Designer Calendar Cartridge for the days of the week and Hello Kitty Font for the Our Weekly Schedule.

Weekly Challenge #42: World Card-Making Day Challenge!

I made this card for a challenge on the Cricut Circle blog.

As many of you know I LOVE Hello Kitty, so I decided to use the Hello Kitty Gretting Cartridge and something Halloweeny. So this is what I came up with.

 The card is cut at 5.5 x 8.5, the next mat is cut at 5.25 x 4 and the next one is 5 x 3.75. On the last cut I used white paper then used purple, orange and black chalk to give it definition. I also used Martha Stewart ribbon punch to tread the black ribbon.

Isn't she cute.

And the Winner is ..............

Patricia, Congratulations!!!

and thank everyone who left a comment.

Patricia, please contact me with your information so I can get your stamps to you.

BLOGIVERSARY CHALLENGE: Exclusive Circle Cartridge Challenge!

I made this one for a contest too. You had to use an exclusive circle cartridge, I used Sophie and everything is cut at 4 inches. I used embossing powder on the pink layer but it did not show up to well.

"So What's New" Blog Hop

Welcome everyone to our Blog Hop, I hope you are enjoying all the great projects. If you just came from Jennifer's blog you are in the right spot.
Today I have made a notebook/album purse.

 To make this I used the Sizzix Bigz Die Booklet, Purse and Pages and DCWV All About Girls Stack.

Here is what the looks like when you cut purse out, I cut it out of chipboard.

The die makes score marks at the bottom so I cut along those lines to make a front and a back. Then I cut the cardstock to go on the front of the purse and  used my ATG to attach the paper.

Next, I used the same die to cut out the pages. You will also need to cut these in half to make 2 pages and then glue 2 pages together to make a back and front.

For this project I used my Cinch for the first time to cut the holes and to bind my purse.

The cut pages measure at 3 1/2 by 2 1/2. To decorate the pages I used Girl's Make-up Party and Forever Young and Cricut Essentials for the journaling rectangles cut at 1.75 inches.

The nail polish is from  Girls Make-Up Party cut at 1.5 inches.

The compact and lip gloss are from GMUP cut at 1.75 and 1.50.

The perfume is from GMUP and cut at 1.50.

The necklace is from Forever Young cut at 1.75 and the shoes are from Forever Young cut at 1 inch.

Here is the last page. FYI the world fabulous if from Forever Young cut at .75.

Cricut Circle Imagine Layer and Print Contest entry

I made this for a contest over a Cricut Circle blog. You had to print a background and then cut out an image in layers. I used the Imagine cartridge Baby Boutique.

I am going to give it to my little cousin who just had a baby.

Another entry for the Link up for Pink contest

It's an A2 card and I found this stamp at ACMoore, it is one big stamp. The paper came from Michaels, it was in a Breast Cancer paper pack.The ribbon is from Autumn Celebration and sprayed with viva pink glimmer mist. Hope you like it.

Cat Birthday Card

I made this card for my sister in law who loves cats.

The card is cut at 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 in brown cardstock and 5 1/4 by 4 in pink. The cat and pillow are from Create a Critter. The stamp is My Pink Stamper More Punny-licious.

Coffee and Tea Note Card Set

I made this set with the Sizzix Bitty Box and Envelope Die from Stampin Up. I have had it forever and decided to give it a try.

The die cuts the box and the envelope, you have to cut the cards to 4 7/16 x 2 4/16. I used a stamp set by Fiskars Latte Love. I used the swirls stamp in the set to stamp all over the box.

Thanks for stopping by.
