Good morning my fellow Cricuteers!   I hope your week is going well. I cannot believe October is close to an end!!! I guess time does fly when you are having fun right ? I have been back at the Sewing machine since I have been cricutless for the last week and a half **GASP** So I have been presented with a challenge I have feared for months: Create a project using the neglected always growing "incomplete projects" pile!!! ... So after going through half of the pile I decided I was going to create a super easy Scarf holder/Tag with a tag that was supposed to be the background for a Scrapbook page title ;) and this is how it looks: For this I used Gypsy Wanderings Décor Tag (Shoe 1) cut at 3"x 8-1/4" and Tag (Bottle) @ 2-1/4" x 6". DP is from K & Company, from an old stack and lucky me, the paper has a teal background that goes really well with the colors on the scarf  :) Distressed both cuts with Teal color ink, ...

WOOO HOOO! Back again! now with my first Xmas card of the year ;) Again I followed one of the sketches from IBS' Celebration . and came up with this card...   What do you think too red? I am hesitant about the ribbon :?...I was trying to keep it CAS and on the masculine side but I think the ribbon is too shiny LOL! Once again, sentiment and candy cane washi tape stamps are IBS Thank you for taking time to stop by, I do appreciate your comment, have a wonderful and blessed day! Liz

Hello again my fellow Cricuteers! Are you having a TERRIFIC TUESDAY yet? I sure hope you are. I am here to share with you my post for EXPLORING CRICUT: a shaped card.   This was created using the following CRICUT cartridges:50 States (Sunflower) and Happy Hauntings ( Party Frame), YES! believe it or not this frame was designed for Halloween but using only the base of the frame and fall colors it becomes a very pretty card don't  you think?     For the Sunflower I used a glue dot to attach golden seed beads. I also "cupped" the flower layers using the back of my quilling tool. It is mounted on a pop square. The sentiment is from INSPIRED BY STAMPING's BIG NOTES series and used the suggested technique for the current WHW Challenge: Use  Markers with your stamps. I used Red and Orange Spectrum Noir Markers. I will be posting this to my Project Center too :) Thanks for stopping by and remember to chec...

Some of you know I am a "cross-crafter" and often times I reach for my sewing supplies...Lately I have been back to the sewing room more often and here is one project I created for a school function ( who does not love s'mores? and who would not love to carry them in this cute bag, right?)  The super simple sack is made out of muslin.
