I'm really enjoying doing these fun blog hops with My Cricut Craft Room. Meghan and I made this project for Grandma and Grandpa for Grandparent's Day. We traced Meghan's hand and cut it out and glued it to the front. That was the extend of 3-year old Meghan's help, except her saying it was pretty when it was done.
I used Once Upon A Princess for the front die cut. I used Love You A Latte and made the image wider to do the book shape. I cut them out with chipboard and covered with scrapbook paper from my stash, I THINK it's DCWV, but honestly am not sure. I inked the edges of everything with Tim Holtz Tea Die distress ink.
The pictures on the inside are from the Football Hall of Fame balloon festival this year. Meghan and I got our faces painted together at my work's tent. We were SO COOL!!! :o) Your next stop on the hop is ERICA.

Julie, this is super terrific. Love those face painting pics. Are you in or around Canton? I noticed you said Football Hall of Fame. Just curious since I lived and worked in Canton before. One of my favorite Cricut projects to date would have to be, umm, my latest project. I altered a composition notebook with some leaves, a tree, and framed it using Serenade, Flower Shoppe, and Lacy Labels.
ReplyDeleteHappy to be in the hop with you!
:O)

Thanks for showing us a great project you and your daughter made for grandparents day! How special! I love a scrapbook I embellished totally with my gypsy and cricut and added a little bling to for my bff's son who is deployed in Afganistan! It means a lot to him and should be there soon... if we think mail is slow we should try being deployed in the military on your birthday! Kathi

I love the tracing of your daughter's hand! I love to take little "fingerprints" of my children growing up like that, whether it be handwriting samples, love notes, pictures whatever. I have a dedicated box in my room for all of those little things. The project I am working on right now with my son so far is my favorite, he asked to make a 3D robot from the Robotz cart with me and it's so sweet to be doing a project with him. Especially since he's getting older and I know soon I won't be "cool" enough for him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great keepsake your project will be! I love the addition of your daughter's hand!

I made a mini album for my Dad after the two of us went to Washington DC on an Honor Flight for WWII Veterans, I had gotten the Stars and Stripes cartridge so used this to adorn the pages I loved it and the sparkle in his eyes when he receive for Christmas was priceless. He still has it setting on a shelf to this day

ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you about my favorite project. This is hard for me but i have really enjoyed using my cricut to embellish my mini's. I'm a new follower.
ReplyDeleteLove ur mini very pretty. I am ur new follower. TFS.

I am your newest follower! Your frame/card is very pretty; I like that Meghan helped with her hand-cut. Hmmm, my favorite Cricut project has to be a 3D bird house that I made (with an SVG file) but embellished using Pooh & Friends Cartridge to look like Pooh's House in the Hundred-Acre Woods. I made it for a Disney Hop a year or more ago and it still sits on my shelf as a very favorite project.
