Cricut Challenge Blog

I had posted this layout last night, but would you believe I was dreaming about scrapbooking last night and thought of a picture to add. Very simple fix and a neccessary one at that. I just found a blog the other day and it has Cricut challenges. Check out Fantabulous Cricut, they require that you use something done on your page using the Cricut and they do give a theme. Well I originally had the interstate sign w/ a word in it. I remembered in my dream that I took a picture of Jeep in front (my man's) of us. We drove both cars and our son thought it would be cool to take a photo of dad ahead of us. So I put that pic in the interstate sign to really make sure I was meeting challenge theme, which is a road trip.


So now that I feel I've met the challenge completely I can re-post and get my day started. I used the Summer Vacation cartridge. Wal-mart had it available for like $15 or $20 at the beginning of summer. I've wondered if it was a Wal-mart exclusive, not sure. Do you know?

Well I must get off here and get ready for super busy day. It is a paid day off for me so I'm going to get busy and get home and maybe scrap some more. Be crafty, hugs for all!

And a sidenote August's LoveLeigh Poll is up and the question was "What type of Scrapper are you?" Well the results showed 66% stick with traditional scrapbooking.

Check out the new LoveLeigh Poll for September!

Good Day!

Good Morning! Everyone, I woke up early and decided to get in on a challenge first thing. Here is my take on SPCC #61. I love their color choices, always good stuff.



So hope you all have a creative day, happy to have gotten one done, and now I must get ready for work. Maybe I'll create more later after dinner! See ya around!

What's the Scrapper's forecast look like?

Fridays Forecast: Slight chance of scrap, 30% chance
Saturdays Forecast: Clear and scrappy, 100% chance
Sundays Forecast: Partly scrap, 50% chance

So I'm going to get alot of scrappin' in this weekend. I am going to email my sis to have her bring the Cricut when I meet up with her tonight. I want to punch something right now, work is a bit odd these past couple of weeks, and I'm just tired of it. It'll get better I'm sure. I'm just frustrated and usually work isn't that for me (a frustration), but I've been snappin' at people, and I feel bad. So I guess I'll scrap that always makes me feel better! Also finding that dang camera is a must tonight so that I can post my new stuff that I do over the weekend. ttyl

FYI: I'm always starting Weight Watchers tonight!

Like sands through the hourglass.....

Morning, its alittle after 630am and i'm checkin' out the blogs that I follow. Some good stuff this morning. I'm also watching Days of Our Lives, one of my latest returning obsessions. I grew up watching Days and one of my earliest memories at around the age of 7 or 8, Bo & Hope got married and sailed away on the Fancy Face. lol
My mom has watched it since the day it came on many moons ago. She stopped here and there especially when Marlena was possessed, that was humorous. I haven't been able to watch in like 8 years and well I finally got DVR and I can enjoy it all over again. However instead of Bo & Hope sailing away in the Fancy Face, Bo is booking Hope and gettin' her fingerprints because she tried to kill him twice. Oh this is good stuff!

So I posted over this past weekend that my camera was MIA! Still MIA! It's killin' me not having it around to take a few snapshots when I need to. Especially when Friday is fast approaching and we have some fun plans for this weekend and a camera is necessary plus I'll be starting a new blog post; Flashback Fridays! So I either need to buy, borrow or find my camera.

Back to catchin' up on the blogs that I follow, someone posted their creations on the Cricut, cute little dragonflys. Got me thinking, my sister and I bought a Cricut on Craigslist about a year ago. It came with a nice case, and 3 cartridges for $100 it was used once, when she tried it out for the first time. Decided it wasn't for her and it collected dust, so she finally decided to sell and we were lucky to see her post to craigslist. So in a year how many times have I used the Cricut? I've used it twice! It is at my sisters and I forget about it. I'm not even really sure how to use it that well, I haven't gotten to experiment w/ it. We are going on a weekender in October so I'll get some use then. Maybe I should get it so I work with it before we go. I guess since I've never really used it I don't think about it, but since blogging I've come across so many scrap blogs where people post about their creations and I want to use now.

Well I need to go get breakfast, shower, get the boy up and ready to go. Talk to you all very soon!
