What a Pear!

Hi Everyone!  This is Robyn, also known as My Pink Stamper from mypinkstamper.com and I am so excited to be a guest designer this week on Hallmark Scrapbook!  I really wanted to spotlight my new stamp sets that were released a few weeks ago that they are carrying on their website.  This one is called Fruit & Veggie Puns.  I am going a little Punny Crazy!!

This card was made using the Preserves cartridge along with Coordinations cardstock.

I absolutely LOVE the colors on this card and can you believe I didn't even use pink?  What a thought!! LOL!  I don't use pink ALL the time but I would like to most of the time.  :)

The pear was cut at 3 3/4 inches.  I hope you enjoy!!

Thanks for letting me participate today over on Hallmark Scrapbook!  It was a pleasure!!

Oct. 31 Spooky Spider Card

Hi, this is Joy and I made today's 5" x 7" card using the new Cricut Oct. 31 mini cartridge!  This is such an easy and fun cartridge to use!  One layer is really quick and easy to cut!  Hallmark Scrapbook has this on pre-order along with the Cricut Pumpkin Carvings mini cartridge and the Cricut H2O mini cartridge!  These are inexpensive and great fun!

I love these papers by Basic Grey and Making Memories - so festive and Halloween-like!

I cut the spider at 3" and the spiderweb at 5-1/2" and it was quick!  I didn't even cut the spiderweb at a slow speed and no problems!

I added this strip to the inside of the card just to add a finishing touch to the card.

Pretty Girl Layout with Cindy Loo cartridge!

Hi, this is Joy from Everyday Cricut and Obsessed with Scrapbooking and I have a two page layout to share with you today!

I used the new Cindy Loo Cricut cartridge, which I have dubbed, Cindy Loo-Storybook 2, because it's like a companion cartridge to the most fabulous Storybook cartridge.  It contains an unusual chunky font, gorgeous frames and cuts!

You may not know this but Cindy Loo is one of four cartridges that contain a scratch off ticket to win a 7 day Carribean cruise OR $100,000 from Provocraft (I know which I'd prefer....LOL!).  So you may want to take a chance - someone will win!

In honor of guest designing today, how about a giveaway?  Who wants to win a "you pick one" cartridge from right here, Hallmark Scrapbook?  

How can you win?

I originally created the left side of the layout as a stand alone, when I was previewing the Cindy Loo cartridge.

 I cut the large medallion (called Frame2 on page 37) at 11-1/2", using all the layers except the shadow.

The word "pretty" was cut at 1-1/2", using the Font feature key base and blackout.  I mounted the word art on the scallop circles on page 25 (called Flower4) that I cut at 2-1/2".  These are not uniform circles, FYI.  I inked the edges with green chalk ink.  Paper is from Anna Griffin's Isabelle collection.

I wanted to make this a two page layout and so created this page to match.  I love the frame feature on this cartridge - you can make the most gorgeous frames. I will tell you that your photos will need some trimming as I did not get them to cut at a standard 4" x 6".  Often, though, if you don't crop in the photo editing software, there is always some trimming that can be done easily.

This frame was cut using the Frame feature key with Flrsh4 (on page 41) at 6-1/4".  I embellished the edge with a 3-D sticker from Anna Griffin.

Still using the Frame feature key I cut the  Flrsh1 (on page 38) at 5".  I added another 3-D flower onto the right hand corner.  I also used an Anna Griffin journaling circle off the edge.

This word art ("girl") was also cut at 1-1/2" using the Font feature key and mounted on the same scalloped circles as mentioned above.  I love this chunky font - keep in mind that the width is much larger than the height for this font.  The parenthesis are also from Anna Griffin.

Join me tomorrow for some more scrapping goodness!
