my post is going to be a tad long, hope ya dont get bored with me ;)
for my first project i made a card. i didnt add a sentiment but this could be a birthday card, a get well card with a gift mug of honey, tea ,cinnamon cough drops whatever is needed :) inside it could just say i love you  the jar set is so versatile. i love that.

 i colored in the jars with distress ink. there are 2 labels that come in this set , i used them both for layering.then added some twine. ill add some little heart tags later when i decide what im doing with it.

the flowers are from my cricut and doodlecharms cartridge and the bees are cuttlebug.

i recklessly colored them in with a distress pen and a sharpie. ;) im such a sloppy crafter ;)

for my next project i made a little giftie for my sister in law who collects kitchen strawberry stuff.

 i chicken scratched the word freezer jam on the tab but the other sayings, the jar and the berries are all on the love in a jar set. plus other sayings and images.

 sweet huh :)

 i made her some strawberry jam :)

heres the recipe. actually this isnt on the back as i made an error and wasnt thinking and i took a new pic obviously the wrong one ..so its the exact recipe just without the error /pencil scratch :)

i made a couple of cards and a back to school box using 7 cartridges.

 for this i used walk in my garden for the flower pot 2~1/4 inches and daisies 1~1/2 and 1~3/4) accent essentials  was used for the purple flower (accent 10shift )cutting 2 each in a dark purple and a lighter purple 1~3/4, 1~1/2, 1~1/4 and 3/4 inches. the branches are from storybook (letter H shift)1~3/4 inches)

i added some button bees and memory thread for the  sprigs.

the sentiment is from cardztv stamp set "simply said"

here's the inside

i used a leaf and a negative from a marquee cut from a different project, i don't throw anything away!

i made this card for my stepdad

i used george for this. 

the heart and star were cut at 1~1/2 inches

for the banners i used tag2 (letter L shift) two at 2~1/4 and two at 2~1/2

i roughly hand drew and colored  the letters i wanted to keep the sort of rustic look i wasn't aiming for perfection here. i finished off with twine and buttons.

and here's another. thanks for being so patient :) 

                                   
                         
                                           i used baby steps for this sweet baby boy card

the boat ,duck and star were cut at either 1 OR 1~1/4 inch. i adhered them to 1~1/2 inch panels.

baby and  boy were cut at 1 inch. i inked everything up and finished with a couple of buttons and stamped the word sweet.

this card i actually cased from myself from awhile ago. one of my old daycare girls loved it so i decided to remake it for her.  i used indie art for the ice cream cone cut at 4 inches

i used jasmine cartridge for the corners (rectangle shift blackout) i believe i cut them at 3 and also 3~1/4  inches and layered them. the ones around the cone frame were cut at 4 inches.

and heres the back to school box. inside ive added the tiny ruler and a box of crayons .

i cut the box 2 times at 5 inches. then blue cardstock, using the box/shift key, at 5 inches twice. then cut the patterned paper once at 4 3/4 inches. assembled the box then adhered the blue to the front and back.then adhered the patterned paper atop that.elmo was cut at 4 inches. i used thin pop dots under him

the word school was cut at 1 inch. once in black for a shadow effect.

the word box was cut from the word lunchbox  at 1~1/4 inch (abby3 word) i just cut off the word lunch.again i cut in black for a shadow. the numbers were cut at 3/4 inches.

i hope ive inspired you to get out those cartridges and play :) 

 thanks so much for stopping by my blog your sweet words make me smile thank you for that too:)

have fun on the hop!!!

festive friday with my cricut craft room

happy friday! todays theme at my cricut craft room is "daughter's stuff" i thought id make a couple of fun tag/bookmarks for my daughter. she has embarked on a new journey in life and has started massage therapy school YAY! well, shes been a stay at home chicka for the past year and i know shes going to miss her kittys and her shoes. ( shes not a tennis shoe kind of girl and has to wear scrubs and t/shoes for the next 8 months, poor thing lol) so......i saw these cute cuts and even tho my daughter is 31 she still likes cutesy things sometimes :)

   i used cricut cartridge meow for these adorable tags.each was cut at 4 inches and the images were     both cut at 3 inches.

            i added stickles for the top kittys eyes and tiny rhinestones for the kitty in boot eyes.

super simple but adorbs eh!?
