Design Team Monday for Mr. Cricut Crazy

Good morning everyone, I hope you had wonderful holidays.  Today is the last post for the year, WOW it's gone by fast!!  For my last post and since it's still December and I have Christmas on the brain I thought I would show you one last Christmas card.

The sentiment is from Mr. Cricut Crazy from the Friends Friends stamp set, which I just adore.  The digital stamp is from Bugaboo Stamps and is called "Make it snappy-Snowman Trio".

Make sure you stop by the other design team members that are posting today to show some love ....

Royal Digi Design Team Challenge #4

Happy Monday everyone and thanks for joining me for the Royal Digi Design Team Challenge.  

I don't know about you but I'm glad the holidays are over and things can settle down a little. I LOVE the holidays, don't get me wrong, but I always feel like I'm running around like a mad woman!! Now it's time to relax and get things around the house back to normal. 

So today is our last post for the year 2011 and it's a good one.... The theme for today's post is "Anything Goes", don't cha just love those kind of challenges.  Since I was still in Christmas mode when I was working on things you'll notice that they all have a Christmasy (is that even a word?) feel to them, but I hope you like them.

This little image is from Meljen's Designs and is titled Skiing Mouse.  He is colored with my Copics, and I decided to color him two different ways.  I just love the mice that Meljen draws.

Congratulations Jamie!!  Please contact me at squeakyscrapper@aol.com to claim your prize :)

Warmest Winter Wishes

I thought I would showcase some of the really cute cards I did this year for Christmas, and here's one of them.  

This little image is from Meljen's Designs and is called Ice Skating Mouse.  It was colored with my Copics.

I colored this image in green and in red for two different looks, here's the red one.

One good thing about doing digital images for Christmas this year is that they aren't to bulky for the post office and won't get ruined.

Christmas Tag Hop!!

Welcome everyone to the Mr. Cricut Crazy Design Team Christmas Tag Hop.

If you've come from Karey's Blog you're on the right track.  If you just happened upon my blog you'll want to start at the beginning which is Mr. Cricut Crazy himself.

I hope we've been able to provide a lot of inspiration for you this season with all of our tags.  My tag today is a very simple one created with my Imagine.

I just LOVE the Imagine cartridge called Snow Angel and this paper is to die for!  I printed the paper on my Imagine and covered my tag with it.  The deer is cut at 3" also from Snow Angel and he's been pop dotted up. My sentiment is from Mr. Cricut Crazy's Limited Edition Christmas Christmas stamp set, which is SOLD OUT!

However, I have GOOD NEWS....I have ONE last stamp set to give away, and here's what you have to do to win.  1)  Become a follower on my blog (if you're not already), and 2) Leave me a comment.  I will pick a winner via random.org on Monday Dec 19th.

Here is my project for today's theme which was Trees...

What I used ~

~ I used Joys of the Season (trees & snowflakes), Lyrical Letters (all font, except the year) and Birthday Bash (the year) for my layout. Oops I left one out - I used the Creative Memories Art Philosophy cartridge for the ornament above the I in Christmas. 

~ I used White Liquid Applique for the snow on the trees.  I've used the Snow Marker before, but I think the liquid applique goes a little puffier.

~I made the background paper myself from the Imagine Cartridge, Snow Play.
~The sentiment is from Mr. Cricut Crazy, the Christmas Christmas set.

Here is my project for today's theme which was Calendars...

Just a little note about my calendar - I make a calendar for my mom every month that starts out like this with a pre-printed calendar.  When the month ends we take the pre-printed calendar off and mat a picture.  This is an easy way to prepare your scrapbook pages in advance. 

What I used ~

This layout was made with the Birthday Bash cartridge for the font, and Very Merry Tags for the bells.  I cut the bells twice to get the different colors because it didn't have a layering feature.
As you can see I used my trusty white gel pen on the letters and the bell ribbon. 

Guest Designer for Creative Craft Corner!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Today I am guest designing over at my buddy Karey's blog, which is Creative Craft Corner.  I understand she's giving away some blog candy this week from Mr. Cricut Crazy so I thought I would create my project using one of his stamp sets.

I used the Gus stamp set for both my image and my sentiment, isn't it just the cutest :) My image is colored with Copics.

Thanks Karey for letting me come and play over on your blog today!!

Here we come a caroling Blog Hop

Welcome to our "Here we come a caroling" blog hop, and no, I WON'T be singing!!  I have to admit though, ever since I started my project for this I can't get the song outa my head.

The song I picked was "Christmas don't be late" by Alvin and the Chipmunks, and here's the project I came up with ~

I used my Imagine to create the paper I matted my picture with.  I was sooo excited when I printed this paper because it's the first time I've used my Imagine to do paper - it was sooo cool!!!


I just LOVE this song, it's cute and catchy, hence it's stuck in my head!  If you've never heard the song, here is a youtube video for you.

And the lyrics for you to sing along ~

(Dave:) Alright you Chipmunks, Ready to sing your song?
(Alvin:) I'd say we are
(Theodore:) Yeah, Lets sing it now!
(Dave:) Okay, Simon?
(Simon:) OK
(Dave:) Okay, Theodore?
(Theodore:) OK
(Dave:) Okay Alvin?...Alvin?...ALVIN!!!
(Alvin:) OKAY!!

(Chipmunks:)
Christmas, Christmas time is near,
Time for toys and time for cheer.
We've been good, but we can't last,
Hurry Christmas, Hurry fast.
Want a plane that loops the loop,
(Alvin:) Me, I want a Hula-Hoop.

(Chipmunks:)
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please Christmas don't be late.

(Dave:) Ok Fellas, Get ready.  That was very good, Simon.
(Simon:) Naturally!
(Dave:) Very Good Theodore
(Theodore:) He He He He
(Dave:) Uh Alvin, You were a little flat  So, watch it, Alvin...Alvin?...ALVIN!!!
(Alvin:)  OKAY!!

(Chimpunks:)
Want a plane that loops the loop,
(Alvin:) I still want a Hula-Hoop.

(Chimpunks:)
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please Christmas don't be late.
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please Christmas don't be late.

Now that this song will be stuck in your head also, you can visit the other members of the blog hop and you'll be singing Christmas songs all day!




Happy Hopping!
