Welcome to Addicted 2 Scrapping Design Team 

2012 New Years Blog Hop. 

If you are joining me from Canica's blog at:

http://shoestringscrapbooking.typepad.com/

then you are in the right place.

If you happened across my blog and would like to 

play along in our fun hop, you can go to

Live Love Papercrafting at:

http://livelovepapercrafting.blogspot.com/

and start at the beginning.

 For todays hop I made a very simple New Years 

card. The card base is 6x6 and the black 

background was cut 1/4 inch smaller. I cut 

the 2012 out using the Cindy Loo Cricut 

cartridge at 2 1/4 inches. Added the white 

ribbon and a little bling and my card was 

done.   

 I call these "frizzles".  My sister saw something

like these at a store a few weeks ago and she

decided to make the silver ones.  I Thought "I have 

lots of color pieces of the garland at home" So I 

made my own colorful ones. They are so easy 

to make. Now that Christmas is over go to the 

store and look for the tinsel like garland.  Cut 

it in to 4 to 5 inch strips. Get out your skewers 

and cut them down to size. Now comes the hot 

glue gun. Put a dab of glue on the end of the 

stick and start to roll till you get to the end. I 

found that slow and steady was the best way to 

get them to be fluffy. I would have to say our 

homemade "frizzles" look better than the ones at 

the store and they were a lot cheaper.

 You may ask what are "frizzles" used for well,

to dress up your New Years drinks of course.

I hope you have a fantastic and safe New Year.

Welcome to JME Creations Design Team Day.

Jamie asked the team to design a project 

around a New Years theme.

I choose to make a very simple New Years 

card.  I used the Winter Woodland Cricut 

cartridge to cut out the 2012.  

The card is on a pre made card base (5X6).

I trimmed the printed paper down 1/2 inch

smaller than the card base.  Pop dotted the

2012 and added a simple ribbon bow.

I hope you loved my very simple New Years 

Card for todays challenge. If you would like to 

see more New Years projects from my Design

Team Sisters please go on over to:

Welcome to JME Creations Design Team Day.

Jamie has asked the team to make any type of

Christmas project.  I choose to make bottles 

of Hot Chocolate for my daughter's teachers.

As you can tell I use recycled Starbucks bottles.

To get the VERY sticky label off I used a product

called Goo Gone.  After you peel the label off

wipe the bottle with the Goo Gone then the

stickiness is all gone.

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes & More to cut the

tag. You can find the tag on page 91. I cut 

them out at 4 " using the hole option and the

shadow option. The holly can be found on 

page 112 of the Christmas Cheer Cartridge.

It was cut out at 2" with the blackout option.

I used the paper stack from Michael's called

Jolly and Bright by Recollections. The ribbon

is from American Crafts Elements. The Season's

Greetings stamp is another one of my wonderful

dollar stamps.  I love when I find just the right 

stamp.

I added 6T (large) of Hot Chocolate to the 

bottom of the bottles, 2T (large) of chopped 

chocolate chips & then filled to the top with

marshmallows. I found the candy sticks at

Walmart in the Christmas section.

If you would like to make your own bottles 

of Hot Chocolate here is the web site I got 

the recipe from.  It is really good.

I hope you liked my Hot Chocolate treat for 

todays challenge. If you would like to see

projects please head on over to:

did a fabulous job on this Blog Hop Please make sure

to check out each Blog and tell them how much you 

loved their projects.

I'm in a Christmas Stocking SWAP with a friend 

over on the Cricut message board and she Loves 

Owls and birds.  I thought why not make her 

a little Owl in a Tree.  Isn't She Cute!! 

I cut the tree trunk and the tree top out by hand.

I used George to make a pattern to cut the circles

and Create A Critter for a pattern for the Owl.

I used anti pill fleece for the tree and felt for the 

Owl. I really tried to use my Cricut to cut her out 

but even with the deep cut blade the Cricut just 

tore up the felt . For added stability I ironed on 

wonder under to the felt. I had to hand cut out the

ears and feather.  Her eyes are also drawn on with

a black sharpie.  All little girl Owls need something

pink so, I added a two toned pink flower to her.

I have not given away any Blog Candy in a long time so 

why not today??  So, my Blog Candy for today will be

 a wonderful Christmas surprise!!  Trust me you 

will LOVE it!!  If you would like to be entered into

Snowman Project

Welcome to JME Creations Design Team Day.  

For today we were asked to make a Snowman.

 I choose to make a Snowman card from the 

Hello Kitty cartridge.  I have had some really 
bad migraines for the last few weeks. So, I 
decided to go really simple for todays project. 
Because honestly my head hurts to think. And 
who doesn't love Hello Kitty.

I cut the Snowman card on page 77 out
at 6 inches.  He is so simple to make
just follow the guide lines that are cut
out for you.

I hope you liked my Very Simple Snowman for todays

challenge.  If you would like to see more Snowman

projects from my Design Team sisters please go to:

projects for today.

Today over at My Cricut Craftroom is Card Creating Sunday. 

I am spending a week in Washington D.C. with my daughters 

& sister and knew that I wouldn't have time to make any 

Thanksgiving cards.  So, I made a few ahead of time.  I 

really hope you like my Thank You Thanksgiving card.

For this card I used Christmas Cheer for the card base. 

You can find it on page 127.  I cut it at 5 1/2 inches.

The Turkey of course is from one of my favorite 

cartridges Create a Critter and can be found on page 70.

He was cut at 4 1/2 inches. I did chalk him to give 

him more depth. The marquee can be found on the 

Storybook cartridge on page 66.  I cut it at 2 1/4 &

2 inches.  I bought the stamp set at Joann's last year 

and can't remember what the brand they were. The 

ribbon is from the dollar spools at Michael's.

Now that you have seen my cards for today please head

on over to My Cricut Craftroom to take a look at what my

other Design Team sisters have created for today.

I hope you have a great day and please come 

back soon for more fun crafts.

Welcome to JME Creations Design Team Day.  

For today we were asked to make any type

of a Thank You project. I choose to make a 

treat box because who doesn't love a little 

Thank You treat.  

For this box I used my Gyspy and the 

Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge and 

Create A Critter for the pumpkin. I added 

the box and then stretched it out to fit on 

1/2 of a 12 X 12 mat.  Now I can cut out 2 at 

a time.  I then added the pumpkin to 2 sides 

of the box and welded them to the box. You 

can find great Youtube videos on welding 

with the Gyspy. That is how I learned to 

use my Gyspy.

I thought the top looked a little to plain 

so, I cut out the pumpkin in a bigger 

size and stamped the Thank You on it.  

I also wrapped a 1 inch strip of orange 

paper around to keep the top closed.

I hope you liked my Thank You treat box for todays

challenge.  If you would like to see more Thank You

projects from my Design Team sisters please go to:

I know they have come up with some fantastic 

projects for today.

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's November 

100 Cartridge Blog Hop Day 1.

If you are joining me from Erica's blog at

http://www.mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

then you are in the right place.

If you happened across my blog and would like to 

play along in our fun hop, you can go to

My Cricut Craft Room at

http://www.mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

and start at the beginning.

There are many amazing and talented ladies in 

todays hop. This is a two day hop so be sure to 

come back tomorrow to see the second half of

the blog line up.  The idea of this blog hop is to 

show you how to use 100+ cartridges. 

My first card I decided to make very simple.

I used Stretch Your Imagination and Storybook.

The squares are cut at 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 inches.  All

the background paper came from 2009 DCWV

Spring Pack.  I cut the turkey at 4 1/2 inches.

I bought some sentiment stamps from Erica

not to long ago and I am in Love with them.

The stamps are from Pink By Design.  This 

one is called Simply Everything.  

For my second card I used Doodlecharms, Christmas 

Cheer & Paper Doll Dress Up.  I have always loved 

Doodlecharms!!  But, because it is one of the first 

cartridges Cricut made it doesn't have very many

 layer options.  To make the turkey I cut it out 2 

times. And then 1 more with the blackout option.

 I then hand cut out the turkey legs.  The "lettuce"

is the grass from Paper Doll Dress Up. And to 

make the card I welded two tags from Christmas 

Cheer on my Gyspy.  This sentiment comes from 

the Simply Everything set also.

I pop dotted the turkey leg and the turkey to give

it some depth.  I them added some extra color to 

the inside for a little pop.

I hope you enjoyed my Thanksgiving cards

for todays blog hop. Now please head on 

over to my DT sister Melissa for another 

wonderful project.
