Pink By Design 2 Year Extravaganza Challenge #2 ~ Favorite Holiday

Good Morning everyone!!! I am excited about Pink by Design's challenges today. There will be a challenge every hour.

I woke up a little bit late today, so I missed out on the first challenge. I wish that I could participate in all of the challenges today, but I have to go to Lakeshore and laminate a lot of things for my classroom and buy a few more things.

February's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

If you are looking for the Ticket to Love Blog Hop click here.

Welcome to February's 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop!!!

You should have arrived here from Sue-ann's Blog.

Here are my cards :)

eye <3 U

I got the idea for this card by someone who posted their card on Pinterest. I love Pinterest!!! If you haven't checked out Pinterest, you need to! Leave me your email address and tell me you want me to send you an invite.

Inside

I used my Gypsy so that it would be easy for me to cut the circle. I first selected the card I wanted and then I selected the monster. I placed the monster where I wanted it and then I placed the circle. I then deleted the monster and made my cut.

Materials Used

Cricut Cartridges: Mini Monsters & Wild Card

Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Worn Lipstick

Stamp: Love Always by Pink by Design

Paper: Valentine's paper from Target's $1 section :)

Winnie the Pooh and Friends

Mini Tutorial

I cut my heart cards using the Wild Card cartridge and used distress inks around it.

I love the Disney cartridges, but it takes forever to make all of the cuts and glue them together.

I used Action Wobbles.

Wobble in action!

Can you see the Action Wobble?

Materials Used

Cricut Cartridges: Pooh and Friends (Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore cut at 3 inches and Piglet cut at 4 inches)

                            Wild Card (heart card cut at 4 ¾ inches)

Ink: Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick and Dusty Concord Distress Ink

Stamp: Love Always by Pink by Design

And now for a GIVEAWAY!!!

I hope you survived this long post!!! I am giving away one of my Cricut Vinyl Figures and 5 Action Wobbles. When I ordered some vinyl figures, I got two of the plum ones. When you order these online, you don't get to pick which colors you want, but I got lucky because this was the only double I got.

How can you WIN?

Just leave a comment and check back on Tuesday, February 7th to see if you WON.

You don't need to be a follower, but I would love it if you were.

This is my collection :) I haven't seen the other colors out yet. My favorite one is the Pink one of course!!!

Your next stop is Sherri.

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Love Day

Good Morning and Happy February!!!

I used the Elegant Cake Art cartridge to create this Valentine's card for my boyfriend.

All I had to do was make two cuts at 4 inches and glue them together. I always enjoy using the cake cartridges because the designs are always really elegant.

I used the Love Always stamp set by Pink by Design.

Ocean Animals

I really enjoyed using the Splish Splash cartridge because the cuts just have 2 layers! I love using cartridges that only require 2 layers, but still look elegant.

 All 3

I used the Cricut Craft Room to weld my labels together to create a card.

 I used this cut for the pattern paper.

Materials Used

Cartridges: Splish Splash (turtle and octopus cut at 3 1/4 inches and dolphin cut at 3 inches)

                   Lacy Labels (used the Cricut Craft Room)

Stamps: Enjoy the Journey by Pink by Design

Paper: Best of Damask by My Mind's Eye

Happy Birthday

I created this Easel Card for one of my sorority sisters. She loves Hello Kitty and so do I! I just love both of the Hello Kitty Cartridges!!!

This is the first time that I have created an Easel Card and it's super easy! This is the fastest way to create a fun unique card. I watched this video to learn how to make one.

Materials Used

Cartridges: Hello Kitty Greetings (Hello Kitty cut at 3 1/4 inches)

                   Tags, Bags, Boxes & More (tag cut at 3/4 inches)

Stamp: Birthday, Birthday by Pink by Design

Paper: Safari Untamed by my Paper Studio

I also wanted to share this picture that I took on Thursday (my last day of student teaching) in my 3rd grade class. The students covered the table with cards and gifts and surprised me when I came into the classroom with my lunch. I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't hold back the tears when I saw one of my little boys crying. I am going to miss my little ones.

Survivor

This is my last week of student teaching in my 3rd grade classroom. My students already know that I am leaving them, so yesterday I was being hugged 24/7 and was being told not to leave. I am going to miss my kids, but I am going to do my best to visit them often.

I start student teaching in a 5th grade class on October 13th, so wish me luck! I am a little nervous because I am used to teaching younger kids.

When I first met my mentor, she told me that she is a Breast Cancer Survivor, so I couldn't wait for it to be October and make her a card.

Materials Used

Cartridges: Pink Journey (wings cut at 2 inches and ribbon cut at 3 inches)

                  Tags, Bags, Boxes & More (tag cut at 1/2 inches)

Stamp: Breast Wishes by Pink by Design

An apple for the Teacher

Good Morning everyone! Today is a very exciting day for me because I am going to be observed by my supervisor while I teach. I am a little nervous, but I always get excited about the feedback. I like finding out what my strengths and weaknesses are.

I created a card to have in my collection of "teacher cards" for the future. I have been wanting to learn how to make a Swing Card and I just had this idea in mind. I watched this tutorial and I had to go through some trial and error, but it was worth it.

This card was the hardest thing I ever had to take a picture of.

This is how it looks when it is folded down.

Open...

Open it a little more to reveal the other side.

If you look at the back of the card, this is what you will see.

Materials Used:
Cartridge: Create a Critter (apple cut at 2 3/4 inches)

Stamps: Our Teachers by Pink by Design

September's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop ~ Part 1

Wow I can’t believe that it’s September already! I hope that you have been enjoying the blog hop so far! I love the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop because I get to see so many different creations with a lot of different cartridges.

You should have come from Tracey’s blog, Scrappin In The Woods With A Bug. Didn’t Tracey create such a wonderful layout? I am going to start scrapbooking again today! I am really excited because I had stopped scrapbooking as I became addicted to card making.

I used 6 cartridges to create different cards for Project Sunshine and Smiles. This is your last week to make them and Erica (My Cricut Craft Room) is hoping to receive 5,000 cards.

I created a few Spinner Cards and if you want to learn how to make one, check out this post for a tutorial.

Materials Used
Cartridges: Toy Story and Plantin SchoolBook
Paper: Party Time by My Mind's Eye
Stamp: Our Kids by Pink by Design

Materials Used

Cartridges: Best of Pixar, Cherry Limeade, and Create a Critter

Stamp: Animated Greetings by Pink By Design

***GIVEAWAY***

*******************

I just realized that I started my blog almost a year ago, so I am giving away a cartridge! Happy Hauntings is one of my favorite cartridges. It's time to start getting ready for Halloween!

  How can you win?

*Leave your name and email address in a comment in order for me to be able to contact you.

*Comment on both posts to have a higher chance of winning.

*You do not have to be a follower, but I would love it if you were :)

**Check back on Tuesday, September 6 to see if you are the winner**

I will use Random.org to select a winner.

Check out Part 2 of the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop for more cards. I decided to make 2 posts because I like having all the labels on my post and I am only allowed to have 200 charcters, so they all didn't fit on just one.

Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is Amanda's blog, Crafts by Amanda.
