Patriotic Pages

Good evening everyone.. Sorry this is late today, I forgot to post it..

Today is Patriotic... so I started working on our Philadelphia pages...

I started by using the Independence Day Cartridge and I cut <freedom> at 2 3/4 inches.... I then inked the body of the word, then I outlined the whole word, and I saved the stars from the hat and the I placed them on the word...

Next, I cut out the Red, White, and Blue from the Independence Day Cartridge at 3 1/2 inches... I cut it out in red cardstock and then I inked the "Blue" with blue ink...

And finally, I cut the (uncle sam) Hat from the Cricut Sampler Cartridge at 4 inches...

I also used a black marker to outline the mark on the hat to show the details...

The Proud sticker and twine is from Erica's Craft Room, she gave this to me when I visited her store this past weekend. Thank you very Erica...

Please remember to visit the other blogs ...

Hope you enjoyed my project...

Thursday July 4th Project

Hello everyone.. Today's project is for July 4th with Erica's Craft Room.

I decided to make a great card.. Here are the directions..

I used the Cricut Sampler Cartridge, the one with 5 overlays to make this card...

First I cut out the firework at 2 1/2 inches... Shadow in red and regular cut in blue... the I used silver stickles to make it sparkle... on the shadow section I used a little x-mas red..

Second, I cut the 4 of July in the opposite colors than the firework... and here I used crystal stickles on it this part...

Here is the finished card... Hope you like it...

Hubbie and I at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia for Memorial Weekend... More great pictures to come..

Thanks for looking... Pattie

June BlogHop...

Today is the June blog hop with Erica's Craft Room....

We each choose 3 Cartridges to make our projects..

And I chose George and Basic Shapes, Paisley and Creative Memories Stork Delivery..

You should have come from Janet's Blog if not please start at the beginning at http://mycricutraftroom.blogspot.com

The first is George and Basic Shapes.. I choose the flower shadow feature and these were cut at 4 inches each

I know that they are simple but with different papers they look great.. I used them for invitations to our Women's Ministry Mother's Day Program.

then I cut the circle out with my Creative Memories circle cutter so that I could cut out the words that I typed.

Next, I chose the Paisley Cartridge for my next project..

For this card, I cut out the <frog2> at 3 1/2 inches and all layers.. Then I cut out "totally" from the same cartridge at 1 1/2 inches and I hid the "tot" behind the from so that you get "toadally" LOL

Then I cut out Love ya from Paisley too... and it was cut out at 1 1/2 inches too... then I traced around them with a black marker.

I Stickled the heart on the frog too.. Don't you just love that face?

and Finally, I used Creative Memories Stork Delivery for this project... My sister had a baby shower and wanted to do a book for him so I cut out everything and we put the book together..

Here are a few of the pages...
