SSD- DT January 12x12 Layout Calendar Page

Hi All,

Hope you all had a wonder Thanksgiving! I did! I ate way too much and didn't shop enough! HAHAHA! How many of you went out on Black Friday??? I did not brave the crowds, I went to Michael's later in the day and scored some awesome stuff but that was all I did.
Now I have to really get started on Christmas shopping. This week for the Sweet Sassy Diva's Design Team challenge we were asked to make either Christmas cards or a 12x12 Calendar page for January. I choose to make this cute January calendar page.

Circle Monthly Challenge & Sweet Sassy Diva- DT Challenge- Home Sweet Home

Hi All
This week our challenge over at Sweet Sassy Diva our DT challenge was Home Sweet Home, which was also the monthly Circle Challenge.  Here is what the challenge was:

• Use at least one Cricut Cartridge Cut
• Use the Cuttlebug in some way (embossing folder, Cuttlebug die, Quilling kit, etc.)
• Use Felt in some way
• Use the color GREEN somewhere on your project

For my Home Sweet Home project I altered a candle I had already at the house. Making it into a wonderful gift or centerpiece. I used a leaf punch to cut out all the leaves, and cuttlebuged the brown ones and then inked them. I traced the leaf pattern onto the felt and cut out the leaf. I tried to cuttlebug the felt but it just came out. I glued all leaves to the base of the candle, wrapping them around the candle. Then I cut out the tag from Gyspy Wanderings and the "Thanks" from Gyspy font and tied the tage to the top of the candle.

Sweet Sassy Diva- DT Challenge- NOV 11th Cricut class

I was one of the lucky ones that was able to attend Provo Crafts 1st on-line Cricut class. It was awesome and can't wait until they have more of them. We were given the cut files for our Gyspies, but I do not own the Sentimentals cartridge so I used Lacey Labels for the centerpieces instead. I really liked the class, it was fun to learn the new techinque with the crepe paper.  It was a little hard to follow along as there were people chatting on the side of the video, so I wish there was a way to hide that, but other then that I really enjoyed it.

Here is my version of the project. And of course what I am truely thankful for my healthy beautiful children.

Sweet Sassy Diva DT- Smiley Cards

Hi Everyone,

This week over at Sweet Sassy Diva's the design team was challenged to make something with Smiley Cards, which was on the Gyspy download if you registered your Gyspy by Oct 31, 2010. I made this cute card with my Gyspy.

This is the first time I have used this cartridge, and actually had a hard time with it. It is really a cute cartridge with lots of cool images on it, but there is no handbook yet, and I am a beginner Gypsy user. I hope PC will put a handbook online soon. Oh, well practice makes perfect right.. LOL!

Thanks for looking and be sure to check out all the other Sweet Sassy Diva design team members over at her blog.
