Penguins card - day 9

Welcome to day nine of Christmas cards!

This was the free cut file on Tuesday. If you are looking for it in the Cricut Craft Room, it's called Holiday Cards 33.

Twelve days of Christmas cards - day 8

Eight cards done! I think this is my favorite so far.

I took this photo last Christmas of my two kids admiring the tree. I used Cricut Craft Room to make a polaroid frame.

Thanks for stopping in!

Elf movie Christmas card - day 6

Welcome to day 6 of my Christmas card showcase! Our family was watching Elf the other day and it inspired me to design this card. We love that movie!

I also need to add that, strangely enough, Will Ferrell is in our city today to cover a curling match as the character Ron Burgundy.

Free Craft Room card files - day 5

There is a new free Christmas card cut file every day (for 50 days) if you log in to the Cricut Craft Room BUT only for the day. Here are a few that I liked and cut out. The files are so quick to make and there are many different ways you can jazz them up.

Log in and see what today's card is.

Have a great weekend and be sure to check out day 6 of Christmas cards on Monday!

Let it Snow card - day 3

Cricut Craft Room - have you logged in lately? There are so many free cut files. This is one that I just needed to cut.

I will show some other free Christmas card cut files on day 5 (Friday, November the 29th) and how you can jazz them up.

Rainbow Loom layout

If you have a pre-teen daughter or grand-daughter you know exactly what I am talking about when I say Rainbow Loom. This crafting tool is a hot item this fall and my daughter and her friends have been looming like crazy. Therefore, I knew I needed to scrap it...

I took my inspiration from the box for the Rainbow Loom. My daughter generously agreed to loom an embellishment for the layout.

Here is a screen shot of my Cricut Craft Room project. I actually used the negative cut of my letters and glued the rainbow colors behind it.

Thanks for looking!

Gypsy linking to Cricut Craft Room

I did it! I linked my Gypsy to the Cricut Craft Room. I did this mainly for two reasons.

Reason number 1 - though I LOVE my Gypsy, it doesn't always update well. I have had issues such as a "security breach", the "blue screen of death", a cartridge that refuses to link and the occasional scrambling of a welded item. I figured it would be best to link all of my cartridges to the Craft Room just in case my Gypsy no longer works. I admit that I haven't really been purchasing new cartridges for the fear that they will be lost.

Reason number 2 - free cut files and free cartridges offered weekly in the Cricut Craft Room. I just couldn't resist the Halloween cuts!

This week the free cartridges are Teresa Collins Chic and Scary and A Frightful Affair. All of the cuts on this layout are from Teresa Collins Chic and Scary other than the "2012" which is from Blackletter.

I will talk a bit more about my linking experience in a post tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!
