Theme Day Thursday

Welcome to the first Theme Day Thursday of the year over at My Cricut Craftroom! Today's Theme is Baby Boy! This is one of the two page layouts I made for my son's 8 x 8 First Year scrapbook. I cut the stroller from the Stretch Your Imagination cart at 7" and layered onto K & Company's "Itsy Bitsy Baby Boy" cardstock along with some coordinating solid CS. The number and letters are cut at 2" from the Pooh Font cart. I also used a Martha Stewart border punch, Prima paper flowers, and Stickles.

"Toad-ally" Fabulous!

Yes, it's my favorite day of the week at My Cricut Craftroom, Theme Day Thursday! This weeks theme is Disney's Tinkerbell or Cars. Since I only had time to make a card (okay 2 cards), I needed to use a cut from one of these two carts that aren't too detailed. If you have ever tried to use a Disney cartridge before, you will notice that there are a lot of details that cut better at larger sizes. I found this cute little "toadstool" in the Tinkerbell handbook.

I used the pattered CS from Echo Parks "Country Drive" stack along with solid CS from PTI and S/U. The stamped sentiment is from MPS "Punny-licious" set. I added a little bling by using Stickles in the flower centers. One interesting item that I noticed when cutting, the top, lighter layer of the toadstool cut out a little "dot" on the right side that wasn't pictured in the handbook. So I free hand cut that tiny little piece so it would stand out as black.

Here is another interpretation using Basic Grey's "Out of Print" cardstock. I just couldn't decide "whimsical" or "artsy". The sentiment I used for this card is from Pink By Design's "Feelin' Groovy" set. I added a little Peeled Paint Distress Stickles (because I couldn't resist:-)

Thanks for stopping by for another Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craftroom. Today's theme centers around the ocean and ocean animals. I just couldn't resist using one of my favorite carts, Create A Critter! I embossed the middle section of the fish with the Spots and Dots Cuttlebug folder. I also used a Cuttlebug folder, Mesh, for the seaweed. The patterned cardstock is from DCWV The Glitter Mat Stack and the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Even More Punny-licious stamp set.

This weeks theme at My Cricut Craft Room is all about birthdays and parties. My son is turning 10 this month, so I decided to get a head start on the invitations since I need 40 of them. My son loves Legos and Star Wars. I had to be a little creative since neither of these are on any Cricut carts.  Because I have so many invites to make, I opted for the Lego invitation. I used the George and Basic Shapes cart to cut simple rectangles and circles for the Lego pieces and the Old West cart for the invitation wording.

Welcome to another Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craftroom.

My project was actually inspired by my mom. She sews fabulous 18" doll clothes and sells them in her Etsy store. I was poking around her sewing room the other day and came across a doll pattern for "costumes". There it was staring me right in the face... a 50's poodle skirt "costume"! I knew exactly what I was going to do for today after seeing that:-) I just love the fifties!

I cut the skirt and binding out of pink craft felt. Then using my Gypsy, Circut Expression, and Nifty Fifties cart, I cut the poodle out of stiff black felt. I cut very nicely, even at 2 1/2". I also used a new mat to make sure the felt wouldn't shift. My Gypsy didn't allow me to "hide" the leash part so I carefully trimmed it off . I added Thistle Stickles to the neck and let dry. I glued on the black cording and the felt poodle before I sewed on the binding. Now my doll is ready to Rock N Roll!!

Theme Day Thursday

Welcome back to all of my fabulous followers! Today I have a project to share with you for Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craft Room. I used my Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge to make this tiny little winter scene.

I cut the #5 house at 4 inches and the trees at three. I painted "snow" on the roof and trees with white acrylic paint then sprinkled some Dazzling Diamonds from Stampin' Up for a little shimmer. I glued the house and trees to a circle disc I cut out free hand to set inside the jar. I inserted an electric tealight under the house and sprinkled fake snow to fill up the bottom and cover the base. As I am looking at the pic I see I forgot to turn the light on so you can see it glowing from the inside.

Happy Halloween Theme Day Thursday

The theme for today at My Cricut Craftroom is all about paper dolls and costumes. I have to admit, I was making a magnetic "paper doll" but ran into a snag, so I will save it for another time. Luckily I had my Hello Kitty Greetings cart sitting in front of me so I scanned that cute little booklet and, whala! There was a cute little magician costume she was donning. I also added this cute little bat cut from the cart. I used some dotted Bo Bunny cardstock and some scrap cardstock and ribbon. The border punch is Fiskars, but I don't know the pattern name:-( I added a little Lavender and Yellow Stickles along with some Black Soot Distress Stickles on the whiskers and bat.

Sweets & Treats Thursday

Today is Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craft Room:-) The Cricut cart I used for today is Once Upon A Princess. I toiled over purchasing this cart awhile back. My "princess" is 14 and my nieces aren't so little anymore either. Of course, like any crafter, I rationalized my purchase because I could use a lot of other cuts that are on the cart, too:-) The patterned CS is from DCWV The Glitter Mat Stack and the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Simply Sweet Occasions. I used the D'vine Swirl and Diamonds In The Rough Cuttlebug embossing folders on the "cone" and the Polka Dots folder on part of the background. And, of course, Stickles:-)

Theme Day Thursday Baby Layout

Today's theme at My Cricut Craft Room (if you haven't guessed already) is "Baby". These are the first two pages for my youngest's "baby book" that I am working on. I used the Alphalicious and Create-A-Critter carts for the wording and Hero Arts' Fanciful Swirl Alphabet set for the stamped date. I'm trying to incorporate the K & Company's Itsy Bitsy Baby Boy stack into the whole album so it has some continuity.

Theme Day Thursday DT project

Today at My Cricut Craftroom is Theme Day Thursday! This weeks theme is DISNEY!!! Can you tell I'm über excited?! My family loves Disney. We bought into Disney's vacation club a few years back and use it almost every year!:-) The last time we were at Disney World I was pregnant with my 1yo. I can't wait to take him there in person:-)

For today I made a home décor project using the Mickey and Friends cart. I took a couple of canvas frames, painted them black and "Modge Podged" the cuts onto the painted canvas. The framed image was a little time consuming, I have to admit. I used my gypsy to weld the 3 different sized shadow icon images to a rectangle. Next, I matched up the regular sized icon images, cut them, then adhered them to the corresponding shadow. I'm going to be hanging these in our Disney themed "FROG" (finished room over garage).

Theme Day Thursdays

Today over at My Cricut Craftroom is Theme Day Thursday...and the theme is FALL! It sure isn't fall here, today 91... and tomorrow 93?! Well, that's what is so nice about being in my own little crafting world:-) I can pretend it's anytime of the year to create my projects. It's September so the cooler weather can't be too far away (at least here in the Midwest). Here is my project for today, a CAS card. I used the B is for Boy lite cart along with card stock from Cloud 9, Bazzil, and Stampin' Up. The Distressed Stickles still isn't dry on the leaf so it looks a little 3D {I love Stickles} . I left the sentiment off so I can use it for anything later:-) {and I'm needin' a whole ton of birthday cards!} Thanks for stopping by:-) Have a super creative day!
