Last Christmas Layout

Hi Everyone,
 I did a video the other day of this layout and would you believe I trashed it!!! I recently got a new video camera ... which I have to say I love, it shoots videos and takes pictures! (which means no more doing a video and then taking a picture and having to transfer things twice!!!) but I'm still getting use to how it puts things on the computer and what to do with it.

 So today you will have to settle for just a picture! I'm in a mad dash to get stuff done for Christmas!


I used Create a Cricut for the lights and the reindeer and then I used Winter Frolic for the title "Deck the Halls"
I hope everyone is having a great Holiday Season! Merry Christmas!

Never made it....

Hey Everyone,
 So I never made it into my scrap room to "create" anything yesterday, I did get in there to find a big mess of ants and I had to take everything apart in there and clean that up!!! That was two hours of my life I will never get back! LOL

 Maybe today I will get in there and try.....

 I guess, on the plus side my room is looking amazing and very peaceful after all the projects I did for Christmas this last week!

My Pink Stamper 12 Days of Christmas


(??? Is anyone else having issues with Robyn's Blog Button? When I did the Copy/Paste it didn't work... I could tell where some of the code was wrong???)

 Now let me just remind everyone that I have 3 children all under the age of 4! Kayla is almost 4, Violet is 2 and Andrew will be 2 months old tomorrow.... so I'm not sure how many things I will be able to do, but I'm going to try!

 Today's Challenge is make something for the Holiday's using a Cricut Cartridge that is NOT a Christmas Cartridge!

So I'm going to try and make something by the end of the day! 

Inky Doodles

This Website is so cute! I loved her Pumpkin Pie she had posted a few weeks ago...so super cute!

My Guest Designer - Christmas Layout Tuesday

I'm going crazy trying to get Christmas Gifts made and put the final touches on our house for Christmas, so for our CLT post I have a special treat for you guys, My 1st Guest Designer!
(For the 1st part of the day the video was wrong, I was so busy yesterday that I posted the wrong video, but it is fixed now. Sorry everyone!)



I hope you enjoy .... she is amazing!

Hello Everyone!


My name is Jennifer and I absolutely love to scrapbook. Tina has asked me to Guest Design for her today for the “Christmas Layout Tuesdays” over here at Two Chics and a Cricut! I was honored that she asked me so I jumped right in!


The layout that I’m sharing with you all today is “Happy Holidays”. The cartridge that I chose to use is called “Snow Friends” and it is a solutions cartridge. I cut out 5 of the snowman at 3”. For my title I chose the “Joys of the Season” cartridge and used my Gypsy to break to hide contour the image so that I could have it side by side. I also used the iRock and black gems for the eyes and buttons for all of the snowmen.


Here is a video of me putting together the layout and a picture of how it turned out!




You can visit my blog at Creative Cricut Designs and I also do YouTube videos ScrappinJen31!


Thank you,
Jennifer


I just wanted to let everyone know that I really do love Jen's Youtube and her blog, please go by and become a follower!

I also wanted to show you guys this sticker set I picked up at Walmart.



I picked this up over by all the Holiday Maddness! This little sticker set was only $1.50 and I picked up two of them with this Layout that Jen did in mind.
If you didn't have Snowfriends or you didn't want to take the time to cut all that out you could use this! And I think its super cute :)

 The other thing that I've been up to (you will never believe this) I've been doing a little make over to my scrapbooking room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told you guys its never ending with me! LOL
 I really just found some patteren paper that I'm in love with and it was an element that I was always missing in my space, so I've been doing some detail work in here and I can't wait to show you guys what I've done after the first of the year!

 Just for fun I will give you a little sneak peek! 


Anyone know what paper this is from??????? This is the paper that I'm using in my room all over the place, there are a few other designs that go with it!
Its turning out some pretty, at this point its just alot of little stuff that is getting done, just to make it pretty and peaceful, I need a peaceful place to create! And I'm loving the way its turning out.

Youtube Linking Party

Hi Everyone!

I was on the Cricut Message Board this last week and I was asking about Youtube videos and a few of us were all talking about making money on our Youtube Videos and so we started a Youtube Linking Party. I'm hoping I did this right because it seems like you might be able to make a little bit of money with this!

So here is what we will do.
1.link your youtube channel here. I will subscribe.
2.Subscribe to my blog and my Youtube channel, I will link mine first.
3. Comment on my channel and a video of your choice, I will do the same.
4. Repeat #3 to others in link party.
5. Return the favor of #4

This party is for crafters of all kinds. If I see you do not make craft videos you will be removed. If you do not subscribe or comment you will be removed. This party is over at the end of the month and a new one will start on the 1st of each month.

It will want to link a picture on your channel, So you may need an avatar or picture
