Mermaid Story Book - Using Cricut

Here are some pages of the Story book that I made for my Niece this year who turned "6" on March 7th. The book was created using my Cricut and a 8 x 8 scrapbook. I mainly used the paperdoll cartridge for this as well as George. I was alot of fun to create and well worth the effort.

A search for the right paper was important to the over all look of the book.   A glittery paper was used for the coral.  Some fishes were accented with wiggle eyes.  Stickers were also used in the background to give more of a under sea look to the project.   Paper with a shine was used for the mermaid.  With this type of paper the scales showed up very well.  The under sea tunnel was created with a mountain from paper dolls and a piece of acetate was used in order to see into it.

 

 

Cricut Pestle and Mortar

With many medical family members and friends I am always looking for medical elements for scrapbooking and other papercrafts. With Cricut Expression and Design Studio I decided to create one of my own and wanted to share the file. George and Walk in My Garden are the cartridges used. I just started with blogging and have many more ideas yet to come. http://www.mediafire.com/?girm0t1scjs

Cricut Cat Card

This is one of the first projects that I made with my Cricut expression and Design Studio. It was a great learning experience and fun to create. I was a lot quicker than I expected it to be. It was made with Plantin Schoolbook and Animal Kingdom. The mouse, collar and fish elements to the card are stickers. Link to cut file for this card: http://www.mediafire.com/?rmejwmmljne
