Mini TP roll album

I decided to join a swap over at the Cricut MB.

I have done many scrap swaps before but, they

were for items or supplies you can't find in your

area. This time I thought I would jump into the

actual crafting part of swaping. And I would have

to say I had a BLAST making this Mini TP roll for

my swap partner Crissy. I hope she loves it as much

as I love how it turned out.

More pages on the next post. The whole

album was made with 6 TP rolls.

I have found out one of the tricks to get

the TP rolls flat is to iron them. Yes, I

said iron. For some reason when you iron

them it makes them the flattest I have ever

worked with. In the past I have just used a

bone folder and flattened the edges but, they

still puckered up. With this trick you will

never have to worry about them puckering.

Now that you have seen mine go try

and make your own. And don't forget

to use your iron.

This week we were asked to use a Leprechaun

in our project. I choose to use the Leprechaun

& Shamrock from Everyday Paper Dolls.

(cut at 4 inches) The tag is from Bags, Tags,

Boxes & More. (cut at 5 and 4 1/2 inches)

(one of my favorite carts) I bought the cute

little jars at Ikea. They are only $2.49 for 4

of them. Emily took this to school to give to

her teacher. Who wouldn't love to get some

Leprechaun Kisses!

This week the Design Team was asked to make

Valentine Classroom treats or something that could

be passed out to a lot of people. I decided to make 3

different crafts this week. The easiest and fastest

treats to make were Sour Cream containers. (Since

I did have to make 60 of them for both daughters

classrooms) The second project was for Emily's

teacher. I took Hershey bars and wrapped them

in scrapbook paper. Then I used one of my favorite

tools the crimper and sealed off the ends. I think this

gives it a neat effect. The final project were the Valentine

Post it notes for my Secret Sister on the Cricut Message

Board. I love making these simple projects that look

like they took forever to make.

I hope you have a Fabulous Valentines Day

Sweet Wishes, Sharon

Thankful Thursdays DT

Jenny over at Crazy About Cricut thought

it was a good idea to change our design team

name. Instead of the Family Friday DT we will

now be the Thankful Thursday DT. I think this

is a great move because as she says "there are a

lot of blog hops and other DT do their postings

on Fridays". So, look out for new postings on

Thursdays.

Family Friday's Design Team

This week on Crazy About Cricut we were

asked to make a special treat that your

children like to make on their own. Emily

LOVES making snack mixes. This one has

Annie's Organic snack mix with cheddar

bunnies, golden raisons, banana chips, dried

cranberries, dried pineapple, dried mango,

sesame sticks, peanuts and cheerios.

Emily wanted to give you an idea of what

you could give out as a fun snack at a party.

Family Friday's Design Team

This week on Crazy About Cricut the Design Team

was asked to have our children make something

about their favorite toy. Emily made a get will card

for one of the little girls in her class.

Can you tell she LOVES she Cuttle Kids machine??

I wish Provo Craft still made dies for this machine

but, like Emily always says "mom I can just use your

Cricut if I don't have the die I need"

She is one smart cookie!!
