I worked Saturday with putting week 5 together and this week I'm going to keep up with it instead of doing it on the weekends. I have to say it was way to much fun. What I love most about it is documenting all the little things that normally you would forget. Like Ethan saying pretzel M&M's are healthier for you than regular M&M's because there is less chocolate...So all these little things that I might forget down the road will be documented for me to cherish forever. I'm totally having a blast.<br /><br />Here are a few pictures of my Project Life Week 5 pages.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Page 1 is Monday through Thursday</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TpXx4AFF8WA/TzHDFOcXCQI/AAAAAAAACyI/6SgSKpLfbXU/s1600/PLweek5_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="373" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TpXx4AFF8WA/TzHDFOcXCQI/AAAAAAAACyI/6SgSKpLfbXU/s400/PLweek5_1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The really dark picture (it's much better in person) in the bottom row is of Ethan reading by flashlight one night. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He loves his video game guides and takes one to bed every night. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I used <a href="http://www.kerribradford.com/">Kerri Bradford's</a> Life Additions Weekly for this section...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YKinZ70bFMw/TzHDF8w4hWI/AAAAAAAACyQ/D-oYat_nptY/s1600/PLweek5_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YKinZ70bFMw/TzHDF8w4hWI/AAAAAAAACyQ/D-oYat_nptY/s400/PLweek5_2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> This is a Silhouette Store image by Loni Stevens.

I didn't really see anything I liked but came across <a href="http://www.crapivemade.com/2011/01/silhouette-dust-cover.html">these</a> instructions on how to sew one for the SD machine. If you remember in my 2011 Fav's video I mentioned that I wanted to learn how to sew and that my old machine hated me. My new machine and I are getting along just fine...<br />I used the same pattern as the one I found for the SD but did a little of my own measuring to make a cover for the Cameo.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PvDMft65qVE/TyicuccU1cI/AAAAAAAACxw/3LkPjaONqZk/s1600/Silhouettecover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PvDMft65qVE/TyicuccU1cI/AAAAAAAACxw/3LkPjaONqZk/s400/Silhouettecover.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3KtfmE9GgWQ/TyicvQ_dkKI/AAAAAAAACx4/9A8zr9c_Wzk/s1600/Silhouettecover1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3KtfmE9GgWQ/TyicvQ_dkKI/AAAAAAAACx4/9A8zr9c_Wzk/s400/Silhouettecover1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />I'd say it probably took me about an hour to make and that was going with the really really slow speed on my sewing machine.<br />I'm pretty happy with it. I think it needs a little flower or something like that to dress it up.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by,<br />Hugs,<br /><br /><br /><br /><center style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Christina" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vyUxARPWB1M/TyC3W02lfKI/AAAAAAAACtU/iZYm7qGDzyA/s1600/signature.png" /></center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;">Click<b> <a href="http://www.creationswithchristina.com/2012/02/silhouette-dust-cover.html#comment-form">HERE</a></b> to leave a comment</center><center></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4663498175733979630-6500583159829693071?l=www.creationswithchristina.com' alt='' /></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02558932719831237443noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663498175733979630.post-30050867812361683142012-01-30T06:38:00.000-05:002012-01-30T06:38:19.956-05:00Pattern paper organizationHi Everyone<br />I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We had a laid back kind of weekend...Every weekend I've been working on organizing something in my craft room and making things flow a little better. Saturday I spent a little time working in my room and Sunday after a nice family day with Scott and Ethan I went to the movies with my sister and aunt. Since I didn't really have anything planned for a video today I thought I would share what this weekend's organizing project was.<br /><br />Last weekend when I started working on my layout of Ethan and his cousins I had the worst time trying to find papers. I would pull out collection after collection and ended up with all of them out on the floor, on my desk, just everywhere. So I thought about it during the week on how best I can make that process a little easier.<br />Here's what it looked like before I started the organizing<br />I had all my papers bundled together by company, then collection<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y_RyiNk_8eQ/TyX0eDIIDAI/AAAAAAAACxY/Ke8svff7tr0/s1600/paper1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y_RyiNk_8eQ/TyX0eDIIDAI/AAAAAAAACxY/Ke8svff7tr0/s400/paper1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I decided having them bundled like this wasn't working for me. I started taking them out of the packages and using a tip I got from <a href="http://nicholmagouirk.typepad.com/">Nichol Magourick</a> I'm going through them and putting the patterns I like the best face out so I can see them. I only got through three companies so far.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bGzqu4pGdFA/TyX0gEI9pfI/AAAAAAAACxo/b5yK1TTddbI/s1600/paper3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bGzqu4pGdFA/TyX0gEI9pfI/AAAAAAAACxo/b5yK1TTddbI/s400/paper3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Of course doing this I found all these great sticker sheets, alphabets, and journaling cards. I think next weekend I'll be looking at my embellishments.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sDBJU1y-tO0/TyX0fX39x_I/AAAAAAAACxg/Cc6h9ibTCWA/s1600/paper2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sDBJU1y-tO0/TyX0fX39x_I/AAAAAAAACxg/Cc6h9ibTCWA/s400/paper2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />I'm also going to start doing <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/">Project Life</a>. I was talking to <a href="http://teriberi2.blogspot.com/">Teri</a> and she gave me that little push I needed to start it. I ordered the kit and it came this past week. I know I'm a a couple weeks late starting, but I'm OK with that. I was telling my mom about it and she's going to do it too. I decided daily was way to much for me, so I'm going to do it weekly. Since I missed the first couple weeks I'm going to do a week1-4 page and just document some of the things we did in that time. Then start full this week.<br />If you're not familiar with Project Life you can find info on it <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/2012/01/a-beginners-guide-to-project-life/">HERE</a>.<br /><br />I hope you all have a great day.<br />Hugs and happy crafting,<br /><br /><br /><br /><center style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Christina" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vyUxARPWB1M/TyC3W02lfKI/AAAAAAAACtU/iZYm7qGDzyA/s1600/signature.png" /></center><center></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4663498175733979630-3005086781236168314?l=www.creationswithchristina.com' alt='' /></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02558932719831237443noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663498175733979630.post-53743416576570411332012-01-27T07:27:00.000-05:002012-01-27T07:29:14.690-05:002011 Favorites and Must HavesHi Everyone,<br />I was tagged over on YouTube by Nicole from Scrapology to share my favorite and must have craft tools from 2011. I had so much fun making this video. I'm still thinking of things I should have put in the video. I was in a very chatty mood last night making this video. It was either the coffee or the fact I filmed the video 5 times...lol<br />Now on to today's video...<br /><br />Watch below | Watch on <a href="http://youtu.be/0oZh9dzrEqI">You Tube</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object height="360" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0oZh9dzrEqI?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0oZh9dzrEqI?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div><br />I made such a mess in my room making today's video.

Check it out I got a blog redo and I love it. Kim over at <a href="http://www.733blog.com/">733blogdesigns</a> was amazing to work with. I sent in my request for my blog design not even two weeks ago and she emailed me right back to say I would be in the design line for this week. Yesterday as I was walking to my car after work I checked my email. She emailed me with a little question about my blog and 1/2hour later I had a draft...umm it wasn't a draft to me it was done. Her service is amazing and she is sooo talented. Thank you Kim for a fabulous new blog...<br /><br />Now for my layout.<br />What would we do without <a href="http://nicholmagouirk.typepad.com/">Nichol Magourick</a> and all her amazing talent and inspiration on making layouts and working on preserving our families memories.<br />Ethan absolutely loves and looks up to his cousins (my brothers boys) and I love seeing them together. They always have a great time.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QbQWg4MgmTk/TyE5HPbv8HI/AAAAAAAACww/9sO7Hagy-Zw/s1600/BoysLO1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QbQWg4MgmTk/TyE5HPbv8HI/AAAAAAAACww/9sO7Hagy-Zw/s400/BoysLO1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I printed the journaling on a piece of Basic Grey pattern paper and added the "celebrate being a kid" using an Ali Edwards stamp set on the side.

I decided to start off with a two page layout featuring all of my favorite pictures from the past year. It was hard picking just a few pictures but <a href="http://www.kerribradford.com/products-page/photo-templates/storyboard-1/">Kerri Bradford's Storyboards #1</a> kit was perfect for this and let me put 16 photos on the two pages.<br /><br />Here is page one of the two page spread.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PYqY-CjmINc/TxYtqKCT4UI/AAAAAAAACqM/GiJBk4qe3vs/s1600/2011Layout1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="383" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PYqY-CjmINc/TxYtqKCT4UI/AAAAAAAACqM/GiJBk4qe3vs/s400/2011Layout1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was so excited to test out the Cameo that I had to use another one of Kerri's kits <a href="http://www.kerribradford.com/products-page/shapes/twentyeleven/">twentyELEVEN</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's hard to see but I backed it with a black card stock to give it a little shadow. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SMet_scRtVQ/TxYtq9jeTII/AAAAAAAACqU/cd0KUoWF4j8/s1600/2011Layout2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SMet_scRtVQ/TxYtq9jeTII/AAAAAAAACqU/cd0KUoWF4j8/s400/2011Layout2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dt7MEMIGBsI/TxYtr9J-rNI/AAAAAAAACqc/P48HIMig_X8/s1600/2011Layout3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dt7MEMIGBsI/TxYtr9J-rNI/AAAAAAAACqc/P48HIMig_X8/s400/2011Layout3.jpg" width="332" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here is page two of the layout. Since I only had one slice of each of the pattern paper I had to figure out a way to stretch the paper. I trimmed the pink pattern paper to 10x10 on page one and then used the leftovers on page 2. Then I added the teal check on both pages to bring it all together. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZWGqNk29nhg/TxYts_ikAVI/AAAAAAAACqk/J79qDZsUfDc/s1600/2011Layout4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Last night I got a phone call from my aunt. She was chuckling and said. Thank you for the birthday card. She says...you are so much like your mom and starts to chuckle again and then tells me how she was looking at the card and on the back there was post-it note. Well, in my attempt to start my New Year off more organized I had jotted down all the supplies I used to make the card and stuck it to the back of the card. Ummm I forgot to take the note off...Oops. We had a good laugh cause apparrently my mom forgot to put the postage on her card she sent to my aunt lol.<br /><br />Now on to today's card (yes I remembered to take the post-it off this one).<br />This is for my boss from Ethan to thank her for his Christmas present. A list of supplies used is listed below.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P9IoqWOkveM/TwzwsHdHyyI/AAAAAAAACps/HY9rShFX8w0/s1600/CWC+1_11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="337" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-P9IoqWOkveM/TwzwsHdHyyI/AAAAAAAACps/HY9rShFX8w0/s400/CWC+1_11.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br />Guess what came yesterday.

Using my PTI Edgers #3 die I die cut the edge of the mat to create the decorative edge and then die cut the fillable frames for the sentiment area. The pattern papers are cut at 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" and 4-1/4" x 1-1/2". Once I was done die cutting I inked all my edges, adhered my mat piece and pattern papers and did the sewing. Once I was done with that I did all my stamping (There's a sentiment on the inside too) and put my card together. <br /><br />I have another card to share with you tomorrow so I'll see you then :)<br /><br />Click <a href="http://www.creationswithchristina.com/2012/01/two-birthday-cards.html#comment-form">HERE</a> to leave a comment.<br /><br /><img src="http://sites.google.com/site/creationswithchristinaimages/images/ChristinaSignature.png" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4663498175733979630-7407335991065231611?l=www.creationswithchristina.com' alt='' /></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02558932719831237443noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663498175733979630.post-26221786153097867712012-01-02T08:34:00.000-05:002012-01-02T08:35:35.222-05:00Christmas Mini Album VideoHi Everyone,<br /><br />Happy New Year....<br />Today's video is my Christmas mini album I made this past weekend. I really enjoyed making it and I loved playing with the Simple Stories: 25 Days of Christmas Collection.<br /><br />I picked up the gift bag die a while ago from Paper Trey Ink and when I was thinking about how I wanted to make my mini album I thought this would be perfect. Steel dies are too thin to use a medium weight chipboard with but you can use a lightweight chipboard or even a cereal box.<br /><br />Watch below | Watch on <a href="http://youtu.be/gZZ2UrBoN0w">You Tube</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object height="360" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gZZ2UrBoN0w?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gZZ2UrBoN0w?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>Next up is a video on how I do my photo collages in Photoshop.

We baked cookies this weekend and I finally got my Christmas cards written out. I'm so behind. Can you believe there is only 6 more days til' Christmas.

text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tuesday night I came in my craft room and saw my Echo Park Season's Greeting collection sitting on my desk and said <i>"Tina (that's me...my family calls me Tina and not Christina) look at that collection is just sitting there waiting for you to do your last 2010 layout with...get crackin"</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I started playing with the papers first, figuring out how I wanted to lay it out and then I did my photo collage. I found that helped me get going and really started to get the juices flowing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-63TOFI3f_uM/TtbiDto3a2I/AAAAAAAACmw/9z-z6Ma9RlY/s1600/DecLO4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-63TOFI3f_uM/TtbiDto3a2I/AAAAAAAACmw/9z-z6Ma9RlY/s400/DecLO4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />When I did my journaling I went with #'ing the photos so I can say who was in each photo. I cut those cute little #'s with my Silhouette. I used a font called Vaguely Repulsive, I have no clue where I got that font from, but they are super tiny and cut like butter.<br /><br />The gathered ribbon was inspired by a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tpu2mCVURE">Paper Trey Ink Monday</a> video I just watched the other day. I've done this technique before in a single row, but never double. I love the look. The satin row needs to be sewn, but I have to wait until 12/25 to do that. My older sewing machine has been giving me major trouble lately and I really needed a new one. I was reading someone's blog the other day (sorry I can't remember who it was but I think <a href="http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/">Kristina Werner</a> may also have this machine) and they picked up the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Brother-Affordable-60-Stitch-Computerized-Free-Arm/dp/B000JQM1DE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322706774&sr=8-1">Brother CS6000i </a>machine.

I love all our holiday traditions, decorating, baking cookies, and spending time with family.<br /><br />One tradition is the tree goes up Friday after Thanksgiving and decorated that Saturday...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pBP1cmSjDG8/TtTIvN_NWeI/AAAAAAAACl4/SVlOu-3cVZo/s1600/xmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pBP1cmSjDG8/TtTIvN_NWeI/AAAAAAAACl4/SVlOu-3cVZo/s400/xmas.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>Saturday night after my tree was all decorated and standing there looking so pretty I see a set of lights start flickering...and then there goes the whole tree...Two hours later we figured out the problem (one set of lights was bad along the string and knocked the surge out). We had to undecorated sections of the tree and put new sets of lights on and re-decorated the tree. Thank goodness I didn't have to take all the ornaments off and re-do the whole tree.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-25OZvcMSFv4/TtTIwsnXMuI/AAAAAAAACmI/UnUJmlG_wtY/s1600/xmas2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-25OZvcMSFv4/TtTIwsnXMuI/AAAAAAAACmI/UnUJmlG_wtY/s400/xmas2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is Taylor, I was worried our kittens would be a little too happy about the new big toy we installed, but they seem to be leaving it alone...Thank you! </div><br /><br />Another tradition is decorating the outside of the house before Thanksgiving so we can turn them on Thanksgiving night.

I noticed once the drawers where painted it was harder to get them back in the slots. I had to do a little sanding to get them to slide better. I think it was the crackle that I got on the edges that made it a little harder to open and close the drawers. I tried to only crackle the drawer fronts so I didn't have troubles getting them in again. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lCz0bQnqFcA/TszYi3NkvKI/AAAAAAAAClI/6BGLM025ixY/s1600/adventtree1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lCz0bQnqFcA/TszYi3NkvKI/AAAAAAAAClI/6BGLM025ixY/s400/adventtree1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's what it looks like right now...Next I need to decorate.

First time ever....I'm actually kind of looking forward to it :)...I know what you're thinking, <i>but Christina you work in a library</i>...Well the library has been given this great opportunity to open a library/store in our local mall. We are a library and bookstore all in one :) I've been one of the key people working on this project for the last few months (it's why I've been a little behind on my video making and blogging) and we're opening at 5am Friday.

If you haven't had a chance to play with it yet, you should try it out. I'm loving it and can't wait until we can share our cartridges that we have loaded on our Gyspys with CCR. I asked Santa to bring me the wireless adaptor for my Expression2 so I don't have to move my machine every time I want to cut. Oh and did you see you can <a href="http://main.cricut.com/shopping/products-Digital-Cartridges-296.aspx?p=0&lz=32&ls=List">download cartridges</a> now? Oh boy this could be bad...lol. The other day there was only a few cartridges. Now there are lots and lots more. <br /><br />Enjoy today's video<br />Watch below | Watch on <a href="http://youtu.be/TWx0IbsEEXo">YouTube</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object height="360" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TWx0IbsEEXo?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TWx0IbsEEXo?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div><br /><br />I'm going to do a little laundry today, Christmas shopping and then wrap a few presents. After that I have a program to attend at work...but I do hope to be back this weekend with a project video using "Sweater Weather". Yesterday was Hello Thursday. Check out the new cartridges <a href="http://main.cricut.com/shopping/products-Hello-Thursday-289.aspx">HERE</a><br /><br />Have a great day everyone :)<br />Hugs,<br /><img src="http://sites.google.com/site/creationswithchristinaimages/images/ChristinaSignature.png" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4663498175733979630-6312046482900991329?l=www.creationswithchristina.com' alt='' /></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02558932719831237443noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663498175733979630.post-57609809513590095502011-11-16T06:50:00.001-05:002011-11-16T07:09:24.121-05:00Update 11/16/11Hi Everyone,<br />Since I didn't get any crafting time in this past weekend I really don't have anything to post, so I thought I would pop in and say Hi! and maybe share a few things crafty that I've got my eye on :)<br /><br />Did you see the release yesterday of the <a href="http://www.cricut.com/mini/">Cricut Mini</a>? I think it's adorable and I love the size :) Perfect for taking to crops and such. Even though I have an Expression and an Expression2 I'm still tempted because what I've seen, I love...plus it cuts felt...I'm being a good girl and not ordering...Although it is in my shopping bag on HSN.com's site. Oh so tempting...<br /><br />Did you all get a chance to play with <a href="http://www.cricut.com/craftroom/default.html">Cricut Craftroom</a> yet? Oh my I'm loving it. Did you know that <a href="http://www.cricut.com/">Provo</a> has come out with <a href="http://main.cricut.com/shopping/products-Cricut-Craft-Room-Exclusives-291.aspx">downloadable images</a>? Even full content <a href="http://main.cricut.com/shopping/products-Digital-Cartridges-296.aspx">digital cartridges</a>. A lot of you where looking for the Tags, Bags, Boxes and more cartridge back when I did the video series. You can download it now :) Last week I posted a question on CCR and you all helped me so much. I had asked it we will be able to link our cartridges from the Gypsy to CCR and the answer is yes (Provo is working on it). In the meantime I'm designing on CCR and then transferring the project over to my Gyspy which is super easy to do :) As I work with CCR more I will do some videos that will help you all.<br /><br />Well I'm heading out to work. I hope you all have a great day. I'm excited because <a href="http://main.cricut.com/shopping/detail-Hello-Thursday-Cricut-Sweater-Weather-289-1501.aspx">Sweater Weather</a> Cricut cartridge should be on my porch when I get home today :)<br />Hugs to all of you :)<br /><img src="http://sites.google.com/site/creationswithchristinaimages/images/ChristinaSignature.png" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4663498175733979630-5760980951359009550?l=www.creationswithchristina.com' alt='' /></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02558932719831237443noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663498175733979630.post-62323783789847811512011-11-14T06:34:00.001-05:002011-11-14T06:49:14.519-05:00How to: Cricut Ribbons & RosettesHi everyone,<br />So much going on the past weekend that I didn't get a chance to really craft :( However I did see that AcMoore had new Cricut cartridges on sale and it included new cartrdiges. <a href="http://main.cricut.com/shopping/detail-Hello-Thursday-Cricut-Ribbons--Rosettes-Cartridge-289-1495.aspx">Ribbons and Rosettes</a> was one I wanted from the last Hello Thursday release.

I'm running late for work :( Thank goodness we're off tomorrow. I'm in very much need of a three day weekend. Hopefully I'll get a little time to play with the new Cricut Craft Room program. If anyone has any tips on how to link the cartridges from my Gypsy to the Craft Room please let me know. I'm having a terrible time figuring it out....I also can't seem to get it to recognize my cartridges when I put them in the machine to cut???? Maybe a Mac Glitch???<br /><br />Here is my layout...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-INynIyoGdGo/Tru-xgDfs_I/AAAAAAAACjA/8zA2hmDtPQE/s1600/roadtriplo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="624" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-INynIyoGdGo/Tru-xgDfs_I/AAAAAAAACjA/8zA2hmDtPQE/s640/roadtriplo.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Sorry this is so short,<br />Have a great day everyone :)<br />Big Hugs,<br /><img src="http://sites.google.com/site/creationswithchristinaimages/images/ChristinaSignature.png" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4663498175733979630-4180058261430993554?l=www.creationswithchristina.com' alt='' /></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02558932719831237443noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663498175733979630.post-64327833434997273752011-11-08T06:52:00.000-05:002011-11-08T06:52:05.543-05:00Sneak Peek and a Gypsy video returned.Hi Everyone,<br />I'm working on a layout and thought I would share a photo of the title...<br />I used <a href="http://main.cricut.com/shopping/detail-department-Cricut-Kates-ABCs-Cartridge-0-1173.aspx">Kate's ABC's</a> Cricut Cartridge and my Gypsy...<br /><br />I started out setting the Gypsy at a height of 1.50" and then added my letters for "road". Once I had them on the screen I moved each letter over so they slightly overlapped, grouped all the letters together, and select them to be welded. I did the same thing with "trip". Oh how I love my Gypsy. Below I'll link a video to a tutorial I did a while back showing how to weld letters on your Gypsy.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IXl2aTyxUV8/TrkUy1pk_vI/AAAAAAAACi4/Z5a6KioBrDs/s1600/Roadtrip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IXl2aTyxUV8/TrkUy1pk_vI/AAAAAAAACi4/Z5a6KioBrDs/s640/Roadtrip.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Here is a video I did a while back on how to weld and make shadow of your welded letters.<br /><br />Watch Below | Watch on <a href="http://youtu.be/r3ibvp9i0dA">You Tube</a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object height="360" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/r3ibvp9i0dA?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/r3ibvp9i0dA?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>If you would like to see the whole series on the Gypsy click <a href="http://www.creationswithchristina.com/2010/11/gypsy-series.html">HERE</a><br /><br />Thanks for stopping by,<br /><img src="http://sites.google.com/site/creationswithchristinaimages/images/ChristinaSignature.png" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4663498175733979630-6432783343499727375?l=www.creationswithchristina.com' alt='' /></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02558932719831237443noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663498175733979630.post-25000115203300246472011-11-07T06:37:00.000-05:002011-11-07T06:38:53.413-05:00Stocking Mouse Happy Monday everyone :)<br />I hope you all had a great weekend? We took Ethan to see Puss and Boots Saturday night. It was a blast, what a cute movie. My favorite part was when Puss and Kitty had a dance off. Kitty does a dance called "the litter box" way funny!<br /><br />I was in the mood to play with my <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=437192&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2DCOPIC%2DMarkers%2FCategories">Copic Markers</a> and came across this adorable stamp called "<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=437192&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D19928%2FGillian%2DRoberts%2DClear%2DStamp%2FDetail">Christmas Stocking</a>" I had from last Christmas.

It's called a "floral frog" and you can find them at Michaels. I found mine in the aisle with the floral arrangement supplies.<br /><br />That's all for today.<br />Enjoy the day :)<br />Hugs<br /><img src="http://sites.google.com/site/creationswithchristinaimages/images/ChristinaSignature.png" /><br /><br /><b>Supplies:</b><i> (Click images for links, copic's listed below)</i><br /><br /><div><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 114px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=32931&c=5497" target="_blank" title="Authentique 6 x 6 WONDER Paper Pad"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20111103/1054/100/1320369335.11" /> </a> </div></div><br /></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 114px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=30139&c=5497" target="_blank" title="Pure Poppy Buttons (Paper Trey Ink)"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20111026/1054/100/1319676588.7" /> </a> </div></div><br /></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 114px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=21448&c=5497" target="_blank" title="Paper Trey Ink Pure Poppy"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20110930/1054/100/1317378930.52" /> </a> </div></div><br /></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 114px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=33889&c=5497" target="_blank" title="Christmas Stocking (Stampavie)"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20111106/1054/100/1320633838.3" /> </a> </div></div><br /></td><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 114px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=9497&c=5497" target="_blank" title="Tim Holtz Scissors"> <img src="http://lm.inlinkz.com/thumbs/20110831/1054/100/1314834121.56" /> </a> </div></div><br /></td></tr><tr><td><div style="display: table-cell; float: left; height: 109px; text-align: center;"><div style="display: table-cell; height: 114px; vertical-align: middle; width: 107px;"><a href="http://lm.inlinkz.com/go.php?i=9507&c=5497" target="_blank" title="Stampin' Up!

I love everything about it, Christmas shopping with my mom, baking cookies with Ethan, decorating the tree with Scott and Ethan, and spending time with family. I'm already excited about the holidays.<br /><br />Today's card uses paper from Simple Stories "<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=437192&b=199868&m=24698&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Esimonsaysstamp%2Ecom%2Fservlet%2Fthe%2D38856%2F25%2DDAYS%2DOF%2DCHRISTMAS%2FDetail">25 Days of Christmas</a>".

I can't wait to see him as a 1950's greaser with his hair slicked...<br /><br />Well Friday we got SNOW! already, it's very unusual for us to have snow this early. Flurries yes, but not 7 inches. At least it didn't stick to much to the streets and it's melted almost is some areas.<br /><br />I've been waiting for a snow day to take everything out of my closet and paint it, then put up more shelving.<br /><br />so...<br />Here's what it looked like before.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U2ZFH9zksPA/Tq5_0mNSqPI/AAAAAAAAChk/M33_aHsKGzk/s1600/IMG_7812.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U2ZFH9zksPA/Tq5_0mNSqPI/AAAAAAAAChk/M33_aHsKGzk/s400/IMG_7812.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had five shelves and a cube organizer....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--DNKLt9wS2E/Tq5_yk80JHI/AAAAAAAAChc/hCCWb7VfGcI/s1600/IMG_7811.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--DNKLt9wS2E/Tq5_yk80JHI/AAAAAAAAChc/hCCWb7VfGcI/s400/IMG_7811.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">as you can see from the white sections on the walls, whoever owned the house before us, painted around the closet shelving that was in there.

I was so frustrated and thought <i>I better get these cards organized</i>.<br /><br />I don't have tons of cards pre-made because I generally give them as soon as I make them, but for the cards I do have in my stash...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-js7pfmmSgD4/Tqdi3Zt2vqI/AAAAAAAACfY/uv7aYPHmOQw/s1600/box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-js7pfmmSgD4/Tqdi3Zt2vqI/AAAAAAAACfY/uv7aYPHmOQw/s640/box.jpg" width="540" /></a></div><br />I took one of my Ikea boxes and made dividers for each of the type of cards I have pre-made.<br /><br />I used "From my Kitchen" Cricut cartridge to make the dividers. I don't have the exact dimensions, but basically I measured the width and depth of the box and used my Gypsy to cut them.<br /><br />Good news is my Paper Trey Ink order is coming today. Maybe a haul video for you tomorrow :)<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><img src="http://sites.google.com/site/creationswithchristinaimages/images/ChristinaSignature.png" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4663498175733979630-2947559247821101802?l=www.creationswithchristina.com' alt='' /></div>Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02558932719831237443noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663498175733979630.post-59805055050213531132011-10-24T06:59:00.000-04:002011-10-24T06:59:01.938-04:00CWC (10/24/11 Card Organizer and videoHappy Monday,<br />Today's project is a card organizer I made for my dad. Since dad is in a wheelchair he can't get out and get cards for holidays and special occasions and he's always asking me to make him cards that he can give to my mom. I thought I would make him a book that would hold a whole year's worth of cards. Now I just need to make the cards :)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LWHyASIJwBw/TqTA8_v3hXI/AAAAAAAACfQ/AOfNrD3l-SU/s1600/CWC+10_24.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
