Cricut Secret Santa Stocking Swap

I received my big square box in the mail two weeks before the swap open date on 12/14.  Couldn't wait to open it.  I had to hide the box in my scraproom so I didn't, I was so tempted!  It was worth the wait!  Look at the goodies!  A big Thank-you goes out to Secret Santa Liz for the goodies.  I got lots of Smashbook supplies and can't wait to use them.  I love smashbooks.

 I received my favorite goodies from Smashbook, Bo Bunny, Sixxiz, Martha Stewart and various stickers and holiday items.  My favorite items were the handmade items from Liz.  Liz is very talented.  I just love my Bo Bunny Butterfly book.  Liz really did a nice job on it and I am going to put it to good use.  Liz also made me a green Cricut holder filled with Reese's cups-my absolute fav and a nice Christmas card!  Thanks again Liz and Happy 2012!


  

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!  

Cricut HH Halloween Decoration-Family Portrait Wallhanging

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!
