Perfect Spinning Pinwheels

Hi friends, Sandy here from Scrapbook Blessings .  This is my first post at She's a Sassy Lady , and I am very excited.  This is the first blog that I followed when I got my Cricut and Gypsy wayyyy back when.  I just love all the tutorials and inspiration, and now I can something with you too!  Talk about coming full circle.  Thanks Shelia for letting me be a part of your team of wonderful crafters! Since today is my first post AND my birthday (late 30 something, lol),  I wanted to share a fast and easy project that I do with my kiddos and for parties... A very cool SPINNING Pinwheel done for you step by step. Items needed: 12x12- double sided pattern paper, scissors, paper piercer, skewers, button, 2 small plastic beads, and floral/jewelry wire Measure and cute paper into 4 pieces of 6x6 Score corner to corner (back side of paper to show score lines better) Crease and fold, making sure all score lines are going the same way (this is what helps wit

Card Creating Tuesday

Card Creating Tuesday: Christmas Cards with the Cricut So today it is Christmas cards!!! I decided to use images from Create a Critter 2 for my card. So let's begin... I decided to use this cute present for the card cut at 5". The base is white card stock and is 4x7.  It is cut to fit right behind the image.  This is the perfect way to make a card shape card if you are not using the Gypse or Cricut Craft Rooom. The other embellishments for the card are cut next using same paper.  Joy is cut at 1.25" Tag for inside the card is cut at 2" And here is the card all put together.  Hope this puts you in a jolly festive mood :) Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,  

Festive Friday @ My Cricut Craft Room

Hi friends, For today, we were asked to do a summer layout for Festive Friday.  For my project, I just used one card that has great summer images... Life's a Beach I started out with the flip flop and water pattern papers as my inspiration. The large flip flops were cut at 4" The flowers were cut at 1.5" Mini flip flops are actually the border but I cut them apart and cut them at 1.5" also The lifeguard stand and phrase are cut at 5" but I trim them down to fit my page as needed. Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

Cricut, I was able to make a couple cute banners... Here some"lanterns" and tower (you just have to watch the movie)... Of course a party wouldn't be complete without the cake ( made by a very good friend)...
