I figured it out FINALLY!

Hello Everyone,
I figured out why part of my slideshow was cut off. I ended up having to change my template and then of course my background would not work so I had to then change that. All in all I got it worked out but now I think everything looks really dark. I am sure I will change it a hundred more times before I am happy but at least for now you can see my entire scrapbook! Thanks for looking!

This is a scrapbook that I completed recently. The trip was three years ago but it was one of those things I never got around to. It is my first scrapbook that I have completely done start to finish since getting my cricut and I love the way it turned out. (I hope you like it Cassie, can't wait until you visit and I can show it to you in person)! Sorry it is cut off guys....this blog thing is harder then it looks :s If anyone can help me please leave a comment!







My Mom was hosting a benefit bake sale last weekend. Not only did I make some yummy banana chocolate chip muffins I also made this sign for the front of the table! I used the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge (pg 73). I cut the Doll out using the fit to page feature on the Cricut Expression with the 12x12 paper. I can't remember what size she was cut at. Just remember to peek while you are doing it so you can cut all her pieces out at the same size. The letters were cut at 9". I've had both the Paper Doll carts for a long time but have just recently really began to play with them. I forgot I bought them because they were so darn cute!

My First A2 Size Cards

These are the cards that I created this year on NSD. They were the first A2 non-cricut designed cards I ever made. I am impressed with some of them but it is clear I have come a long way in my card making in only a month! Some more current photos to come very soon!








































MPS Fathers Day Challenge

I hope this is not too late but even if it is I still had fun making it.... all my cuts were made totally from scraps, that is what I love about the paper dolls cartridges(Pg 54) I made this card for my daddy! Now I can't wait to give it to him! Good luck everyone! :)

Here are the first cards I ever created. I made tem to take with us on our trip to Cuba in March as thanks yous for the staff at our resort. I used my Life is a Beach Cartridge and used the card feature included on it. I used 8.5 by 11 paper and used the set paper size button and then fit to page feature on my cricut expression. They were all cut out at 7". I nipped and pasted some of my own alterations so what you see might not be exactly what was cut on the machine. The cards fit in a standard size card envelope. They turned out really cute!





































































Okay today is the day!

I have decided today is the day I am going to figure this blog thing out once and for all. I got it up and running and then just stalled. Well....here goes nothing!
