My Craft Room

Finally found time to craft

I have been super busy with work and have had not energy or desire to craft. But work has slowed down a bit and I do have more energy and want to get into my craftroom and craft. I finished up two projects that got pushed to the side due to work taking all my time so here they are.

First up is some very cool teen boys cards. I find making male cards of any age a challenge, but with the Dude! Cricut Lite cartridge, and a selection of embossing folder including the new Tim Holtz collection of embossing folder, I found it pretty easy to come up with some.

The next project I finished over the weekend was some cute note pads. I got the idea from the Cricut message board where some very talented girls showed their versions. The ones I saw on the Cricut site had the inside pages cut out the same shape as the cover critters, but I found this to be a bit time consuming (remember I was very time poor due to work LOL) so I decided to make the pages and cover up in a regular pad style and added the critters on the cover, they are mostly smaller than the critters to add a fun aspect to them, they also have a back of the critters on the back cover (see the last two pics).

    Wow! These are great! I love how you made so many of one thing all using one cart. Maybe that's what I should do to build up a card stash!
