Cropping Fun

My friends and I went to our local scrapbooking store for their "Farewell to Summer" crop over the weekend. I may not have got much done, but I did have loads of fun with my friends! We always laugh more than we work.

We also tend to 'spread out' quite a lot and we always bring waaayyyy more supplies than we could ever need! That's why I scrapbooked a photo of my work station at the crop. My journaling reads: "Yes, I really did need to bring all those supplies, and spread them out t--h--a--t--f--a--r... just to make 2 layered cuts for Chrissy. It was a great crop, tho!!" Scrapbooking with my friends is one of my favortie things :) All my cuts are from the Cricut Everyday cartridge.

A birthday surprise!

I made this mini-explosion box and pillow box gift holder to put in my daughter's lunch bag on her birthday. I was inspired by the mini-explosion box we made at The Stampede to celebrate Cricut's 5th birthday. I just loved doing that little project. I had fun doing it all over again for my daughter, too. I used a flower from Mother's Day Bouquet, cut in graduated sizes, to form the bow on top of the box and repeated the step for the 'icing' on the cake candle. I can't for the life of me remember which cartridge the pillow box came from and that is the 2nd time I've done that to myself, with that cut. Looking for it on the Gypsy is tedious; it has an odd name. If I find it again, I am going to make a Gypsy file just for it and never, ever delete it again.
