Framed - For You & Thanks!

Hi everyone!  These were inspired by the wonderful people, who teach my child, on Wednesday nights.  My son is very good.  He is two and a half and has his moments, but for the most part, very good.  When I work on Wednesday nights at my church, my son goes to class.  Lately, he has been having a little challenge with separation.  These teachers have been so patient and such a blessing, I wanted to let them know how much they are appreciated.

I used Cranberry & Honey inks - Gold Shimmer Trim & embellishments.

Now, there is a story as to why I chose the sun for a little card.  Okay, I will tell you!

One of the evenings, my son cried from the time I put him in class, until I picked him up, about two hours later.  Yep, the whole time.  I was in contact with them throughout the process.  One of the teachers took the one on one time with him, so I could do what I was there for, help other parents get their children checked into class.  I want her to know that she was a bright spot, in a not so bright situation.

I hope you are blessed with wonderful people in your life as well.  Thank you for stopping by!

Remember: God loves you & Jesus is Lord!

See you soon!

Hi Everyone!  Here is some more news about Cricut, but first, here is a little something I made with the August Stamp Of The Month from CTMH (This stamp set is only $5 with a $50 purchase)...

Want the ability to easily make a personalized wedding gift or perhaps some unique home décor? Then you might find Cricut electronic cutting machines to be the best DIY crafting tool since the sewing machine.

There are two machines that Cricut currently offers on their site:

• Cricut Explore One™
• Cricut Explore Air™

Cricut Explore One™

Cricut Explore One™ is a simple design-and-cut system. It’s versatile, easy to use, cuts very precisely, and is also incredibly affordable. With its irresistibly low price and limitless cutting potential, the Explore One is perfect for a new or beginning crafter. Here are a few notable features of the Explore One:

Materials – All Cricut machines can cut an unbelievable variety of materials, for example:

• Paper
• Vinyl
• Iron-on
• Craft materials
• Upcycled materials
• Fabric
• Plastic
• Thick materials

Precision - Features Cut Smart™ technology, which allows you to cut a wide range of shapes and sizes with exceptional precision, from ¼" tall up to 11½" wide x 23½" tall.

Smart Set® Dial - Each machine features a Smart Set® dial, which sets your settings (e.g. speed, pressure, etc.) for you so you don’t have to keep track of them. You just select the material that you're using on the Smart Set® dial and the machine's Cut Smart® technology will deliver a clean, professional cut.

Images and Fonts - You can upload your own images and fonts for free on all three Cricut cutting machines.

Cartridges - Both machines work with any Cricut cartridge and have the capability to hold all of your cartridges “virtually” in the cloud within your Cricut Design Space online software. So once you’ve loaded a cartridge, you’ll have it everywhere you go.

Cricut’s Design Space™ and iPad® app - All Cricut Explore machines work hand-in-hand with Cricut’s Design Space™ (for PC, Mac®, iPad®, and iPhone®) that you get access to for free.

Cricut Explore Air™

The Explore Air is the whole kit ‘n caboodle. It offers all the impressive features mentioned for the Explore One, but two key things set it apart:

1. It has a dual carriage for cutting and writing or cutting and scoring in one step. If you do a lot of paper crafting, this is the machine for you!
2. It has built-in Bluetooth® capability. You just use Cricut’s free iPad app and design anything you want from your iPad, just like you would on your home computer, but with the convenience of being able to take your projects with you anywhere. Then, you can just wirelessly send your project from your iPad to your Explore Air to bring it to life.

Now that you know a lot more about how Cricut Explore® machines work, I’ll focus next week’s post on how you can design here, there and everywhere with Cricut Design Space. You’ll be blown away by how easy it is.

Until then … Happy crafting!

Rose Blossom SOTM Blog Hop

Welcome, to the Rose Blossom SOTM blog hop!  If you are here from I Didn't Have Potatoes, you are in the right place!   Marg always has something inspiring - Can't wait to see it myself! :)

I wanted to think outside the box, so here is what I came up with...

A box!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge, with my Explore, to make this Desert Sand box with Cranberry & Cocoa cogs.  The flap had scallops on them, well, that was way too girly for what I wanted to do, so, I cut the tips off!

I used the circles from the gears for a little extra on the box.  I stamped the Cranberry frame on Colonial White with a Cocoa "THANKS".  I cut it down on purpose, to make it more square.  You could uses any of these, frames and sentiments, with a box like this!

I embellished using Twine and Gold Durables Studs.
