festive friday with my cricut craft room

happy friday! todays theme at my cricut craft room is "daughter's stuff" i thought id make a couple of fun tag/bookmarks for my daughter. she has embarked on a new journey in life and has started massage therapy school YAY! well, shes been a stay at home chicka for the past year and i know shes going to miss her kittys and her shoes. ( shes not a tennis shoe kind of girl and has to wear scrubs and t/shoes for the next 8 months, poor thing lol) so......i saw these cute cuts and even tho my daughter is 31 she still likes cutesy things sometimes :)

   i used cricut cartridge meow for these adorable tags.each was cut at 4 inches and the images were     both cut at 3 inches.

            i added stickles for the top kittys eyes and tiny rhinestones for the kitty in boot eyes.

super simple but adorbs eh!?

happy monday! this week over at bbtb2 our super talented and sweet melissa has chosen our cut to be the mouse from the meow cart. woo hoo i dont own this but have been borrowing it from my buddy rose forever and a day now. thank you friend :) if you dont have the cart no worries just use a mouse from a different cart.. i know doodles charms and create a critter have them for sure.

im in christmas themed projects mode right now so i made a cute little tag

along with the meow cart for mousy i used joys of the season for his lil hat and mug. i added some liquid applique to his hat. he has lots of whiskers cuz i got a little overzealous with my pen .. i did this twice and third time is not always a charm for me. i figure no ones gonna notice as they should hopefully be too busy ripping into their present ;)
for the snowman i used doodlecharms. i added some stickles to him.. again my over~zealousness too over. he really doesnt sparkle quite as much as he looks in the photo. ok im looking at him now yes he does.as you know  im not a sparkly kinda chick so im not really thrilled with this one. the snowflakes are a marvy punch i added stickles to them too. the sentiment is a stamp from my sentiments exactly (winter sentiments).

thanks so much for stopping by your comments always leave me warm :) be sure to hop on over to the bbtb2 blog and see what the rest of the marvelous dt has created this week. if i dont see ya before thanksgiving have a wonderful fun day! im truly thankful for you all!  xxxshelly

cardztv cricutcardzchalenge think pink AND link up for pink

happy wednesday :)  our challenge over at CCTV~CCC   is to think pink and make a card or a lil sumthin for someone you may know whos dealing with or has had breast cancer. be sure to go see what the rest of the dt has pinked up .
 i made a card for a guy to give to that special someone  to remind her that he cares or reminding her to go get that mammogram. 
im also entering this into the link up for pink party. be sure to head on over there and support the cause. they are having an awesome link party with a huge amount of prizes from 153 sponsors.. how wonderful to have so many caring sponsors to help support breast cancer awareness. 

i used george cart for the hearts and the  cute lil mices come from meow lite,  that ive borrowed forever and a day from my best buddy rose ( what a sweetie huh! ) 
for the ribbon i used the ampersand from george and just cut to resemble the pink ribbon. 

added foam stickies under the mice for dimension. my other extras are colorbox fluid chalk, a stamped flower image and viva decor pearl (center of flower) and viva decor glittle line pen for the pearl drops in the centers of the b/g paper. these pens are so cool as you can create a pearl shape with this glitter glue. the others you cant do this with :)  i purchase mine at scrapbook pal as they usually have them on sale. i swear by them..theyre the BEST pearls pens and glitter liners :) 
hope youre having a super day, get your mammies if ya havent yet and know im thinking about you :) xxxshelly

paper cutz challenges" going to the pumpkin patch "

happy friday :) this week over at PCC our theme is pumpkins :) creat a card or project for fall. my favorite time of year :)  be sure to pop on over to the pcc blog and see what fun creations the rest of the DT has for us :) be sure to play along too we love to see your take on our challenges. 

 i made a card but didnt add a sentiment on the inside as ill probably end up using it in a scrapbook or maybe frame it  ill keep my options open.  i love fall so much that anything i make regarding it  i have a hard time selling or giving away :) 

                                                       heres my lil card

i used my cricut and pooh cartridge for the pumpkins. meow cartridge for the mice.

                                 

 

for the scarecrow i used a brass sizzix die, but just used it like a stencil instead  of running it through my cuttlebug. i sloppily colored him in with markers, im  not a perfectionist :)
 thanks so much for hanging out with me today and as always your comments always make me smile  :)                                                                       
                                                    now go get your craft on :)     XXXshelly

happy wednesday! this week over at WW  our super talented amber has chosen our theme 3's a charm.

1) 3 cuts

2) 3 colors

3) 3 of the same embellishment.

 for this i used my cricut and cricut meow/lite cartridge that my best bud rose has so sweetly loaned to me. it has a lot of the cutest cuts and pretty user friendly. i gotta find out where to purchase this one!  

                                                           

                                                         the 3 colors i chose are pink ,grey and blue

                                                                paper is my minds eye/hazel

                                                         which was gifted from rose from her HUGE stash.
                                                                         

                                         
                                             the next views will be to show the 3 different cuts
                                             the cat and boot are 1 cut and the bird is another

                                                       and the cute little mousy is the 3rd cut

                                                   i used 3 buttons for the same embellishments.
