Welcome to Addicted 2 Scrapping Design Team 
2012 New Years Blog Hop. 

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

I have decided to have a surprise Blog Hop
prize for our first Blog Hop as a Design 
Team. If you would like to be entered into 
the drawing please leave me a comment 
with a way to get ahold of you and go over
to Addicted 2 Scrapping Facebook page 
and "like" it.  If you would like to follow me
please do so but, I don't require you to if you 
don't like my Blog.  But, I always do love 
to see new followers.

I hope you enjoyed my New Years projects
for todays Blog Hop. Now Please head on
over to my Design Team Sister Sue for
another wonderful project.

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:
I know they have come up with some fantastic
projects for today.

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 
more of my Design Team Sisters Christmas 
projects please head on over to:
I know they have some wonderful projects.

Welcome to the Tree~Licious Blog Hop brought
to you today by JME Creations Design Team.
If you are joining me from my Design Team 
Sister Alanna at:

then you are in the right place.

If you just happened across my Blog and would like to 
play alone in our fun hop, you can go to:

and start at the beginning.  All my Design Team Sisters
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 
my Blog Candy drawing please leave me a fabulous
comment.  And if you would love to follow me that
would be great but, not a requirement to be entered.

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:
I know they have come up with some Wonderful
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.

Sweet Wishes, Sharon

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
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.


Sweet Wishes, Sharon
