fifty three: rounded simplicity



Ingredients:
Bazzil cardstock
DCWV pattern paper
3/4 circle punch

fifty two: mummy?

I have been searching for Halloween paper that I love and I have yet to stumble upon any. I was so excited when there was still dollar paper at Target ;) So I picked some up and thought, "Yay! At least I have a little stack to get me started on Halloween crafts."

Here is a Halloween card I made. I didn't use one piece of Halloween paper. Halloween colors, yes, but my search for Halloween paper may not be so necessary after all.


Ingredients:
Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge
Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge
Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug folder
VersaMagic ink
DCWV paper
Stickers
Plain ol' string

WCMD: Warm Fuzzies

Fantabulous Cricut has a challenge regarding last month's National Sewing Month. I love it because all the material at JoAnn's goes on sale..perfect time to get ready for Halloween costumes!

The challenge is to use stitching whether it be faux or actual stitching. I would've used the sewing machine but a pet peeve of mine is switching out the stinkin' bobbin. It's just plain annoying so I used a white gel pen instead. Same effect :)

The flock didn't turn out so great. The cut was too big to fit in my little xyron runner and I just didn't know what other kind of glue to use. I have Martha Stewarts glue pad but it doesn't work well..I'll have to research a little more on that.


Overall, I really liked how this card turned out. Minus the flocking, this was a pretty simple card :)

Stumbled upon another challenge blog Paper Playtime
"Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain". That song was stuck in my head all morning and I was singing it while washing dishes :) The theme was water, any kind of water. I thought it perfect for soon I will be shipping my cricut back to Provocraft.

Ever since I purchased it in February, it hasn't been cutting as slick as my first Expression. Now that I am crafting a lot more, the frustration starts building up when I have to fix the cutting errors. After several troubleshooting procedures, it is unknown of the cause. I am just waiting...almost a darn week now for the shipping label they promised awhile ago..And then I will be cricutless for a week or so! GASP!




Can you see her sad little tears? I can't remember where I got those jewels from but they sure come in handy when I need water effects :)

Ingredients:
