I hope you enjoy. :)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kzz98eb9dzg/Twi3U5zspeI/AAAAAAAABdc/GeIX4JHq1Cc/s1600/You%2527re%2Btoo%2Bcool%2521.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 317px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kzz98eb9dzg/Twi3U5zspeI/AAAAAAAABdc/GeIX4JHq1Cc/s400/You%2527re%2Btoo%2Bcool%2521.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695003298552915426" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;RECIPE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cricut Cartridge: Create a Critter &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paper: DCWV's  Glitter Stack&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Embossing: CB's Polka Dot Folder&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stamps: PK for the face and &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="scrappymoms-stamps.blogspot.com"&gt;Scrappy Moms&lt;/a&gt; "Amusing Animals" for the sentiment.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Others: Twine from "Trendy Twine, White &amp;amp; Black gel pens.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7986710424565268023-2829126418702353702?l=starspaperpassion.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://starspaperpassion.blogspot.com/feeds/2829126418702353702/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://starspaperpassion.blogspot.com/2012/01/youre-too-cool.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7986710424565268023/posts/default/2829126418702353702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7986710424565268023/posts/default/2829126418702353702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://starspaperpassion.blogspot.com/2012/01/youre-too-cool.html' title='You&apos;re Too Cool!'/><author><name>*Star</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06191823950540390940</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RNDOa2m3blM/TC1MO3d10bI/AAAAAAAAAAw/MZHSc4PYzDg/S220/eads36.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kzz98eb9dzg/Twi3U5zspeI/AAAAAAAABdc/GeIX4JHq1Cc/s72-c/You%2527re%2Btoo%2Bcool%2521.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986710424565268023.post-2325687848785070178</id><published>2012-01-05T12:58:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2012-01-05T17:04:46.971-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Just Because Card'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Scrappy Moms Stamps'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CRICUT - Wall Decor and More'/><title type='text'>I'M BACK!! :)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wow, it feels like forever since I've been able to craft.  But now that the tree is down, the kids are back in school, and family has gone home I've had a some time to sit in my craftroom and play. :)  It's been awhile since I've enter anything into a challenge (September was the last one.) so I really wanted to make something for a challenge. And today's card actually meets 2 of them.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.)&lt;a href="http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2012/01/challenge-me-monday-92.html"&gt;Challenge Me Mondays- Cup&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.)&lt;a href="http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-design-team-with-birthday.html"&gt;Die Cuttin' Divas- Sketch&lt;/a&gt; (I turned it.)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6nfWYPhc6c/TwYBJjXlF0I/AAAAAAAABdQ/b14ANwJ_7xw/s1600/My%2Bcup%2Bof%2Btea.jpg" style="text-align: left; " onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 325px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a6nfWYPhc6c/TwYBJjXlF0I/AAAAAAAABdQ/b14ANwJ_7xw/s400/My%2Bcup%2Bof%2Btea.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694240042481162050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;For this card the paper came from SEI's Black Orchid and the tea cup is from the Cricut wall Decor and More cartridge.

I used my new Spellbinders Nestabilities ( Label 17 ) to cut the beautiful background shape.  The cute little stork was cut from the Cricut Lite "Sugar and Spice" cartridge. To finish it off I added black crinkle ribbon and stamped the sentiment from the "&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://whimsical-designs-shop.blogspot.com/"&gt;Whimsical Fun Vol 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;" set on to glitter paper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Frw8siGSG70/Ttl5jafmYDI/AAAAAAAABaM/RwTZmqdYAd4/s1600/Chrsitmas%2BLayout.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 210px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Frw8siGSG70/Ttl5jafmYDI/AAAAAAAABaM/RwTZmqdYAd4/s320/Chrsitmas%2BLayout.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681706054218833970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;For this project I chose to do a layout. on this project the stamps are "Elves at Work!" and "No Peeking" both of these sentiments are from the "&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://whimsical-designs-shop.blogspot.com/"&gt;Snow Much Fun&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;" set.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The cartridges I used are: Paper Doll Dress Up, Winter Frolic, Create a Critter, and Freshly Picked.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NcdNhJbS9F8/Ttl5jDIFpSI/AAAAAAAABaA/pVdXHXQemNE/s1600/Birhtday%2Bcard.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NcdNhJbS9F8/Ttl5jDIFpSI/AAAAAAAABaA/pVdXHXQemNE/s320/Birhtday%2Bcard.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681706047946204450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Here is my last project. For this card the adorable cake was cut from the Cricut Simply Charmed cartridge. I added crinkle ribbon, Stickles, and white gel pen. For the sentiment I used "&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://whimsical-designs-shop.blogspot.com/"&gt;Everyday Sentiments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;". I hope you enjoyed my project. I can't wait to see what I will create when you buy Stephanie's stamps.

I am so grateful for ALL of my wonderful children but for this challenge I chose to focus specifically on him. He has been so amazing and wonderful in this last year since the baby came. He is always so willing to help in any way possible changing, diapers, making bottles, reading to his other siblings, and even helping them with homework if I’m busy with the baby; all with little to no complaint. I don’t know what I would do without him. He is such a blessing in my life!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family: &amp;quot;Gisha&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;For this layout I cut the title from 2 of the fonts on Cricut’s&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;“Boys Will Be Boys” cartridge. The second thing I cut was the files on the side of the photo, these were cut from the Cricut “From My Kitchen” Cartridge. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oxxkU6Bnllk/TrCXosNVBdI/AAAAAAAABNw/eLx39bBEHcI/s1600/Kaden%2Bfinished%2BLO%2B2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oxxkU6Bnllk/TrCXosNVBdI/AAAAAAAABNw/eLx39bBEHcI/s400/Kaden%2Bfinished%2BLO%2B2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670198656177079762" /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family: &amp;quot;Gisha&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt;Here they are pulled out so you can see them. My husband and I have written a letter to our son on these cards telling him how much we love him and how grateful we are for everything he does but for privacy reasons I chose to take the picture before writing the letter. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family: Wingdings;mso-ascii-font-family:Gisha;mso-hansi-font-family:Gisha;mso-bidi-font-family: Gisha;mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Wingdings"&gt;&lt;span&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family: &amp;quot;Gisha&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;"&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNoSpacing" align="center" style="text-align:center"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Gisha&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;color:red; mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA"&gt;Our sponsor for this week is our fabulous and talented design sister &lt;a href="http://nannes-creations.blogspot.com/"&gt;Nanne&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://nannes-creations.blogspot.com/"&gt;Nanne&lt;/a&gt; has donated a variety of Webster's Pages Scrapbooking Supplies.
