EAD Design's Monday Hop!



Monday Monday!!! You know what that means...time to hop with EAD Designs!  You should have arrived here from my sweet friend Lauren of Lauren's Creative!  If not please go to EAD Designs for the start of the hop, so you don't miss anything.  That way you will also be eligible for this weeks give away!  Who knows, you may have won last week's!

For todays project, I decided to make a card using my Imagine along with EAD Design's vinyl stickerz!  The great thing about EAD's stickerz is that they come on clear vinyl or white.  I chose to use clear so the print from the Imagine would show through for some added interest!



don't you just love the bat stick pins I made! :)


recipe:
Teresa Collins Baby Boutique Imagine Cartridge
frame ~ separated and cut at 4.5
Teresa Collins Black & White Imagine Cartridge
harlequin background paper
Teresa Collins Chic & Scary Cricut Cartridge
bats cut at .85 x .38
ribbon, glitter, stick pins, ink
Stampin Up paper

I will also be entering this in the Cricut Circle Blogiversay Challenge, using the Imagine and layers!



Your next stop is the "girl that can make anything cool with paper"  Amy T!

Enjoy!

Hi!   Happy Saturday, the sun is shining and there is a slight crispness to the air...it ALMOST feels like fall!  Well today I have a couple of projects to share with you that will be entered into the Cricut Circle Challenges going on right now.  Depending on how my day goes, meaning how much cleaning and laundry I get done, I may add some more project through out the day to this same post.  I'll see how all that goes!  :)

My first project is for the Circle Blogiversary Monochromatic Color Challenge.  I chose to make a tag for Christmas.  I always make my own, usually not with alot of pieces.  However, I think I could make a bunch of these fairly quickly!  The challenge is to have a monochromatic color scheme...check, and 2 Cricut cuts...check!


I love how the glitter adds so much depth!

EAD Designs Announcing Co Branding with Kate Harper Designs!

Welcome!  Today EAD Designs and Kate Harper Designs have joined forces and created the cutest vinyl blockart stickerz and stickerz sheets. 

The cool thing about these stickerz is they come in blockart form for home decor, gifts or little blocks for cards and scrapbook pages.

For today's card I wanted to go out of my comfort zone and try to keep things simple.  Well simple is not as easy as it looks...for me anyways! 


recipe:
crate paper, PTI paper, ribbon, button, twinery twine


One last thing, have you been having trouble leaving comments for some people but not others? I'm not sure why the change, however this is what I found worked for me:
1. go to Internet Options ( upper right of your screen)
2. click on the Privacy tab
3. click on the Advance button
4. check the box that says "overide automatic cookie handling, accept first and third party cookies.
5. click ok all the way out.

Enjoy!
