Easter Bunny Hop DAY ONE

Thank you for hopping along with us today....

You should have come from Janet's bog, if not please start from the beginning

I do hope you will come back tomorrow to see 10 new projects from the same people as today. 

Comment here to be entered to win the I-top 2.0 Bundle which includes

The I-top 2.0

The 34mm I-top punch

The 34mm head for the I-top 

And some additional brads so you can make your own....

Tomorrow you will see what I made with the I-top

I made this using Easter Magic, Cricut Craft Room Exclusive Cartridge.

I cut the bunnies and the sentiment at 2"

I used Bo Bunny Sweet Tooth paper for this.

The mesh at the bottom is something I have had forever and it seemed perfect for this. We all had to make a 3-D element in our project AND a bunny! So the mesh is sticky on one side, but you can pick it up and move it if you don't like it and it will not harm the paper. This was brown but not dark enough so I used the same ink that I did on the edges of my card. It is Momento Rich Cocoa, one of my crafting staples.... What would I do without my little Dew Drop inks?!?! 

I also used VersaMagic Jumbo Java and Rose Bud Momento Ink.  I cut the circle freehand and then inked the edges. I also use the Round it all by Zutter to round my corners. I also used Cinnamon Stickles for the 'sun burst' effect around the circle. I used used a little brad to gather the mesh and to keep it attached to the paper. The inside of the card was lined with matching paper AFTER I stuck the brad through it. So no one will see my brad or the mesh from the inside of the card!

Make sure you come back tomorrow to see my next project.... 

when my Bunny grows up :)

How did I get into Cricut?

I was in grad school, teaching and student teaching. I had a newborn baby and I was up into the early hours of the morning and I had the TV on for background noise and I kept seeing the Cricut infomercials. I has the Sizzix original red die cut machine and the Ellison All star and LOVED the idea of being able to cut images at any size I wanted.

Announcement!

Have you ever heard of Cooking With Cricut 

and Paper Crafting World????

Well I am officially able to announce my newest venture! I am officially on the Design Team for Paper Crafting World and I will be doing some stuff on the Cooking With Cricut challenges. Just as Paper Crafting World and Cooking With Cricut are sister sites..... My Cricut Craft Room and Erica's Projects are sister sites. I do hope you will visit both of them.... My Cricut Craft Room is updated daily, but until I get the swing of the new machine.... there will be 2-3 postings here a week. I look forward to sharing my new adventures with you all and helping to teach you all how to use SVGs and Digital Stamps with my Silhouette Cameo ONLY. So each site will use its respective machines. My Cricut Craft Room will use ONLY Cricut Cartridges and Cricut Craft Room Exclusives. Erica's Projects will ONLY use SVGs and Digital Stamps.... I might throw in a Cricut cut or two to make the base, be it a card or tag, but I will TRY my best to use only SVGs here! 

So each week I will have my entry for the challenges over there and some other SVG fun! 

I am also going to allow my design team to show off their skills with SVGs here too. So you might see some fun things going on around here..... This blog will now have a cross-over of Cricut and SVG stuff. 

I am the happy owner of a new Silhouette Cameo machine. It has actually inspired me to use my Cricut cartridges in new fun ways. Many new things to come over the next few months! 

I am so happy to be a part of the team!

The colors to use are pastel green, pastel yellow and one other color, I picked blue. My yellow looks more orange form the lighting.... but it is yellow glitter paper so maybe the glitter picked up another color when the camera flashed.

I actually used clear craft paper for the fish bowl. I used Celebrations to cut the squares and rectangles, I used Animal Kingdom for the fish and fish bowl.

I thought this was a cute take on the sketch. The winners are picked at random and you can enter up to 3 cards on the challenge blog.

Don't forget to comment here and along the way to win the Victorian Romance Cricut cartridge

or the Its Valentines K. Andrew Design stamp set.

I made this cute little card using the new, Sesame Street Elmo and Friends Holiday cartridge!

I cut Elmo at 4" (I always cute my characters at 4", it seems to make them easy to put together, I have found smaller than that I cant get the pieces off of the mat without something sticking or ripping. Also when I make characters I usually cut extras so I can make that character 3-4 more times without getting my cricut out. Because I always cut them at 4" there is no guess work what size I made them.

I used My Mind's Eye Love Me papers. I also used glitter paper for the gold wings. This is actually the sketch for the new card challenge. Details will be given on the challenge blog later tonight.

Janaury's 100 cartridge blog hop, day TWO

I made this card using CCR to edit the shapes again... I used Life's a Party Cricut cartridge for the heart scalloped card, Hannah Montana for the Daddy's Girl sentiment, and Love Struck for the winged heart. If you would like a copy of the file, please email me to EricaCraftRoom@aol.com and put the subject 100 January Hop file. I used a 12x24 cutting mat, but you can change to a 12x12 by moving items around.

My camera and disk drive in my computer is still not working well.

So I had to take a picture on my phone then send it to facebook then save it from there then post it here.....

But here is a terrible picture of a cute project.

Next you should visit Connie's blog 
Please include her in your prayers as she is in the hospital after a severe car accident. She is stable and really wanted to still do this blog hop, because she worked so hard on her project. Talk about dedication and pride in her work!
