Cricut Holiday Cookie Swap

Hi friends,

Today I am posting my Chinese Almond Cookies recipe for the Cricut Holiday Cookie Swap.  I am in Group 3 and we required to do an 8" by 8" scrapbook recipe page.  We have 20 people per group and will receive back 20 recipe pages that will fill my 8" by 8" scrapbook.  The Chinese Almond Cookie recipe is a family tradition and I love making these every year for Christmas.  The ground up almond really makes this cookie and they are ready for Christmas with the red and green colored sugar on top.  I hope you enjoy them.  Thanks goes out to Amy S. for putting this together and distributing the pages to everyone.  I hope we can do this again next year!

Here is my family portrait using Happy Hauntings.  This is my favorite Halloween cartridge.  It has cool frames to go along with the images so I used them to make my family portrait.  It was alot of fun to do.  I wanted to make this last year and never got to it.  Happy Halloween everyone!

Cricut Calling Cards for Ohio Cricut CHA Meetup at Kings Island

Hi Everyone,

I am finally getting around to posting my Cleveland Rocks calling cards that I made for the Ohio CHA Cricut Meetup on 7/22/11 at Kings Island.  I used the Nifty Fifties cartridge and used 1950's colors-bright light blue,  pink and green for the main colors.  I later added a the final color-purple for me.  Took two trips to Pat Catan's to get the correct colors.  I cut out 400+ mini music notes and hand glued each one.  The records also had 4 mini pop dots behind them ( 4 x 135 cards).    I made 135 calling cards and came home with about 40.  By the time I cut everything out for these cards and the magnets, I thought I did my expression in for good.  These simple cards took alot of material and time to make since I made so many but I do love them!  Enjoy!

Cricut Pennant Contest entry for Ohio trip

Cricut had a pennant contest for the Ohio trip.  You had to use the Birthday Bash cartridge and use pages 58-71 pennants.  I picked the pennant shaped like the State of Ohio Flag and decorated the background to match the State of Ohio Flag.  I did take a liberty in using red star paper instead of just red paper for the red stripes.  I decorated the pennant with rows of flags and the olympic torch in honor of the Boulevard of Flags in Eastlake, Oh.  The Boulevard of Flags honors all Eastlake residents who have served our country with a Flag.  It is a cool place to visit.  They also have the Olympic torch there from when it came through Eastlake and burns eternally.  They have also included items to remember the 9/11 incidents.  I took pics from my trip there on July 4th.  Please see below.  It was very cool to walk into the Ohio Cricut Meetup and see my pennant on the wall.
