Cooking with UIT!

We are cooking up some fun at Use It Tuesday! We would love to have you join us by making and linking a creation that has something to do with cooking!

In addition, we are having our second Design Team call. If you are interesting in being part of an awesome team, head on over to the Use It Tuesday blog for all the details. :)

As for the card...I pulled out my neglected Cricut Imagine and used it to make the images. I also tore into my hoarded SU stash of papers for the accent pieces. And, since we are spilling the beans (or is it apples?), my Janome sew mini had to be dusted before I stitched the card. Sad. ;)

Hope you play along with us! Thanks for looking!

Chocolate

This week at Use It Tuesday is all about CHOCOLATE! What fun!

I chose to dust off my Cricut Imagine and made this super easy card based on a sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping. The paper was printed from my Imagine as well, because I don't have enough paper already in my stash. **snort** ;) Of course I do...but this just matched so perfectly, I could not resist...

Used some SU ribbon from my stash, as well as the rhinestones that I got from the 100yen store while living in Japan. Stickles dressed up the cake and we finished it off with one of my favorite sentiments from Papertrey Ink!

Thanks for looking and have a fabulous week!

Desk Scraps

It is time for another Scrap, Stamp and Doodle Saturday challenge!

This week we want you to use what is on your desk. You know you have those little scraps, or shall we call them 'inspiration items', laying around!

I have had this Cricut Imagine cartridge laying in front of me...unused...for months. So I pulled it out and made a card with it! Tah Dah!

We hope you play along this week! The prize comes all the way from Alaska (**wink, wink**)! Yes, it is from me and no, it is not a moose or mosquito! Your prize will be 2 brand new Bella stamps! Yes, I am feeling generous! LOL

Stamps: PTI for sentiment
Paper: Cricut Imagine printed papers, PTI White, Pixie Pink
Ink: Versafine Sepia
Accessories: Nestabilities, Ric Rac Ribbon, Dimensionals, rhinestones, sewing machine

Imagine Birthday Princesses!

By an act of divine intervention (well, really our movers but there must have been a higher power involved...) my Cricut Expression died on the day of the HSN Imagine release. Really, I had to do it. My household would not function without an electronic die cutter. Period. :)

If you have yet to sneak a peek at one of these machines, you probably want to close your eyes! It is sooooo cool! It prints images then cuts them out to perfection! Admittedly, had my Expression not bit the dust, I would not have shelled out the money for it. But I am so glad I did. :)

On short notice, I was asked to make cards for 2 little birthday princesses. I decided to use the Imagine so I would not have to color anything. I chose the images, told it to cut, and viola! I just matched up the papers and had these done in like 30 minutes total. (The stickles actually took longer to dry than it did to make the cards!)

Rumor has it the princesses loved them...or maybe it was just the sugar high after the cake!

Supplies used are just Stampin UP paper, sentiment & linen thread, buttons, stickles and the Best Friends cartridge for my Imagine.

Thanks for stopping by today!
