Grandparent's Day Cricut Blog hop w/ Erica's Craft Room

Hi everyone!  I hope you are enjoying hopping along and checking out all the awesome Grandparent's Day projects that were created using the Cricut.



My project is a layout showcasing 4 generations.  This picture was taken earlier this week during a fun visit.  I titled it "It's all because 2 people fell in love."


I used 4 different cartridges on this layout.  That wasn't planned, but it's fun since the picture has 4 generations of people.  'Stone Script' for the word LOVE, 'Cake Seasonal Sampler' for the double hearts, 'Jubilee' for the words fell in, and 'Plantin Schoolbook' for the 2 and heart strip at the top.

The word LOVE is raised with EK Success 3D dots.  The large double heart is hooked onto the E.  The small set of double hearts is also raised above the O.  I really like all the dimension that creates and it emphasizes what is the most important, love.



This layout also has DCWV papers, alphas from Thickers and Lily Bee Design, brads and Prisma color pencil and marker.

The Grand Prize for this hop is sponsored by Erica at Erica's Craft Room.  One person will win 
a $25 Gift Certificate to be used in her store!  To be eligible to win the prize you MUST leave a comment 
at EVERY hop stop along the way.

I am offering a chance to  win some blog candy too!  Be sure to leave a comment on this post and become a follower of mine (please) for a chance to win an art journal from Prima.


It has all this included:






I will use random.org to select the winner.  Their name will be announced Monday morning.



Thank you very much for stopping by today.  Please continue on to Haidee's blog to see what she has made.

Brotherly love


This layout I made features my boys.  I was so happy when my camera and I caught them hugging.  I was really excited again when my Momenta papers and stickers coordinated perfectly with the photo.





I used Momenta's PA-2375 Bright cardstock, PA-2331 BAC pad, PA-2390 black & white cardstock, PA-2328 Family Outings pad, 16839 Sassy Guy stickers, ST-Boy puffy stickers; Frosted Lace Stickles, Eyelet Outlet brads, Colorbox Poolside ink; George and Basic Shapes cartridge for the hearts.

Circling fun


I had the best picture for a circle theme.  Thanks to TinkerToys, one kid said he had binoculars while the other told me he was wearing sunglasses.  Either way, I always smile when I see this.


Momenta's PA-2330, PA-2328 paper, PA-1124 cardstock and ST-2154, ST-4713 stickers were great for this playful layout. I also used brads, a MC Gill circle punch and the Martha Stewart circle cutter.

Birthday Drink Tags


For today, I made drink name tags for the guests at party for my grandfather's 85th birthday. Adjustable twine goes through the eyelets on each side allowing the tags to be transferable and fit on any size/type of drink.


All the tags have the same colors of Momenta cardstock, Diamond Stickles


and die cuts from the 'Something to Celebrate' cartridge,


that I used on the placemat and banner that was posted on day 3 of this blog hop.


Here are all 16 tags, ready to party.


The papers I used are from Momenta's PA-2376 Pastel cardstock, PA-2375 Bright cardstock, PA-1411 Silver Distress papers.
