In his wonderful reindeer sleigh,
Santa would whisk us all away;
Flying merrily,

Non stop to the NORTH POLE!!

I created several cards with my Cricut for today's hop.  I recently had a free 72 hour membership to Cricut Access.   I used A Quilted Christmas for many of these cuts.  I found so many images on that cart, I might have to have it!

First is Santa and Mrs. Claus, I used an American Craft 6x6 paper pad with some Stampin Up card stock and ribbon.  I used several specialty papers for the cuts.






There was a couple of options for Santa and Mrs. Claus, for her I chose the more ornate cut.  I just loved the details of the sleeves and apron.  Santa and the elves fancier versions just weren't worth the extra effort, but I just loved this Mrs. Claus.



Next I made some elves!


Ingredients:
Cricut A Quilted Christmas and Jolly Holidays cart
American Craft Merry Mint & Traditional Christmas 6x6 paper pads
misc papers and card stock
Stampin Up punches, ribbon and sentiment
Momenta sentiment stamp
American Craft red pigment ink
Judikins clear embossing powder
lots of pop dots, all my characters are popped up


Next head on over to Santa's workshop to visit with Sandy's blog!

For my project I turned on my trusty Cricut.  I haven't often used the writing feature but since this turned out so nicely, I think I will be using it more in the future.  If you are not in the "know" any American Craft pen will fit in the Cricut Explore perfectly for the writing feature.

Let Freedom Ring! June Guest Designer at Connie Can Crop


I am pleased to be this month's guest designer at Connie Can Crop for the June challenge:


The challenge is to use red, white and blue rings (or circles) on your project.  I have for you a layout of my local MLB ballpark.  It is named for a hometown sponsor, Great American Insurance.  It is really neat to have skyscrapers towering on one side and the Ohio River flowing on the other.  On this day, my friend had passes to a special photo op event for season ticket holders and she knew how I loved to take pictures.  I didn't really know many players but got some great shots of her and her favorites!

I used Piggy Tales Yankee Doodle Dandy papers with my trusty Creative Memories circle cutter to create various size rings.  I layered the rings on a patterned paper with ring/circle design. The letters match perfectly because they came with the collection.  This Piggy Tales paper collection was a $3 score from my local thrift store.  It was an entire album kit with instructions, papers,  chipboard windows and letters.




  Here's a close up of my title.


Ingredients:
Piggy Tales Yankee Doodle Dandy collection: Doodle, Macaroni, Town and alphas
Creative Memories Circle cutting system
Quick Quotes denim and barn door red
white card stock

Thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to play along at Connie Can Crop this month open until 6/30.
