Belated Birthday Card

Hi Cricutjunkies,
Hope everyone had a crafty weekend...I am entering this birthday card in the Birthday Sundaes challenge.  I decided on a Belated Birthday card because I am notorious for forgetting Birthday's. It is a really simple card; so simple that I created 8 on my gypsy just to have on hand. I used create a critter for the turtle, everyday paperdolls for the sign and birthday bash for the card. Hope you enjoy!!!

Turtle cut @ 1.65 sign cut @ 5.95
Sentiment is from Michael's dollar bin
Paper is from  Stamp in up and my stash

NEW YEAR "Link Your Blog Party"

Happy New Year Cricutjunkies,

I have been MIA for a month or so and noticed we have new bloggers in the neighborhood.  I wanted to show some Neighborly Blog love so I decided to start the New Year off by following in MoMo's foot steps and have a "Link Your Blog Party" for bloggers with less than 200 followers.

Here is how it works:

• If you have less than 200 followers link your blog below!
• After you link your blog you must visit at least two other linked blogs and leave a comment.
• Make sure you write (Cricutjunkie sent me) somewhere in your comment to qualify for the Prize.
• (if you get new followers you must  follow them back) 

If you have more than 200 followers-Please visit some new blogs for inspiration and remember to put (Cricutjunkie sent me) to win a prize. 

   

This Party will end  Jan 31st

Then I will randomly pick one blog to win an awesome prize.

Prize Twist: I will go into the winners blog pick a comment from one of their post and that person will also win a prize. I will announce the prize next week. It could be a Cartridge, PKS, Michael's GC, etc.. I haven't decided yet.

 Comments really inspire new bloggers so let's have fun showing some blog love.

  

Pooh And Friends Page

Cricutjunkies,
I started working on my newest Grandson's 1st year Scrap Album. I decided to create a book from one cartridge. Drum Roll......Disney Pooh and Friends & Pooh Font Set. I am in love with the carts, the details are awesome and as a bonus on the  Pooh Font Set cart the images are all babies. The only problem with this cart and I am finding this with all the Disney carts is they have more layers and smaller pieces therefore they cut better as a large image. I will post pages as I complete them so stay tuned for a complete Pooh and Friends Scrap Album. Hope you are inspired!!!

12x12 LO-Font cut @ 1.94. Paper is from my stash.

I also used a black glaze gel pen and yellow stickles on the Bee.

I LOVE THE DETAIL ON THIS CART 

Characters cut @ 3.0-Log cut @ 3.45-Bees cut @ 2.23

I used brown chalk ink to give the log a distressed look

I purchase all my carts from Cricutmachine.com
