Scrappin' With The Neighbor Girl

Wow, it's been a long time since I've crafted! We have been having the hardest time getting into the swing of things here. (The holidays always do that to us.)

Lucky for me our little 10-year-old neighbor girl came over with some pictures to scrapbook. This is the second time she has come over to do a page. The first time I forgot to take pictures to post. :(
We always have tons of fun! She is super sweet and just loves the Cricut!!
Below are a few pictures I took as we crafted. (don't worry I asked her mom if it would be ok to post the pictures.)

Here she is trimming the pictures

Using the ATG gun. She loves that thing! :)

Adding Stickles, another favorite.

She absolutely loves the Peachy Keen stamps so we had to use them on the page. The sun was made using circle punches and then she used yellow stickles to make the rays. She also added red Stickles to the bow in the girls hair.

Here is the finished 8.5x11 page. (I coved up the journaling for privacy reasons.)

Recipe:
Cartridges: A Child's Year (little girl w/flowers), Plantin Schoolbook (Grass)
Stamp: Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face Assortment
Extras: Stickles (Red and Yellow), White gel pen, Polka dot ribbon

I hope you enjoy and have a great day!

Digital Snowman Card

I made this to enter in to My Pink Stamper's Christmas themed challenge. You just had to make a card or scrapbook page for Christmas or winter. The snowman is a free digital stamp I can't remember where I got it from but I think it might be from freedigitalstamps.blogspot.com
I colored him with Bic markers and added Stickles to the snow on his hat and also on the ground. I hope you enjoy and have a great day. :)

My Pink Stamper Color Challenge

Robyn over at My Pink Stamper is having a color challenge. You have to use 2 shades of Pink, 2 shades of blue, and black.
This is what I came up with.
For this card I used the Simply Charmed cartridge and cut the images at 2 1/4in. The sentiment is from Pink By Design. I don't know if you can tell but the dark pink mat is shimmer paper and there a silver snowflakes on the pink ribbon.
I hope you enjoy and have a great day. :)

Mommy and Me Time: Playing with the Cricut

Right now in school my 6-year-old son Isaac is learning about the American flag and what the stars and stripes stand for. Since this is what they are studying his teacher wanted each student to create a 8.5x11 flag of themselves and then they will bring them to class and talk about what each thing on there flag stands for.

My son chose to put a boy riding his bike, Hot dogs, Ice cream, Popsicle, and Jr.

Here are some pictures of him inking around the edge with his green stamp pad.

And here it is completed.
JR. is his nickname, the 3 hot dogs are for his 3 brothers, the ice cream is for his 1 sister, the 2 popsicles are for his foster brother and his foster sister, and that is him riding his bike. He says he chose the hot dogs, ice cream, and popsicles because they are his favorite foods. :)
We had so much fun working on this together and hope you also enjoy.
Have a great day. :)

Cartridges used:
Car Decals,
Simply Charmed,
Robotz (for the JR.)
