Cricut Projects I am Working On

I got to spend a few hours in my Studio recently which is so exciting!  I am actually working on several projects for Custom Crops and for Above Rubies, thought I would share a few pictures and later I’ll share the details and even fun videos of making some of these projects!  :)

Let me know which ones you want to know more about FIRST, they are all coming though :)   Fun stuff!  I also have GREAT things coming from more of our Design Team!!! YAY! :)

Purse using Forever Young Cricut Cartridge and some REALLY fun elements and techniques – That will be a project that will be see at Custom Crops sometime :)

I LOVE this card – and I made another one slightly similar, but this one is a new favorite.  Really easy and made with recycled Kraft Cardstock.

DSCN1938

Different version of the same stamp card.

DSCN1933

Playing with 1″ pieces of paper and scraps again, thought this was kinda cute!

DSCN1937

Paper Pleating and My Pink Stamper Stamps on this card with Shoes from Forever Young Cricut Cartridge – soo cute!

Anyway, I can’t wait to share more projects and hopefully GREAT tips with you.  I’ve learned and figured out a few things these past few weeks, so I’m anxious to share! :)

Hope you enjoyed looking at some previews and like I said, I’ll be sharing some new projects from the amazing Above Rubies Design Team! :)

Still have announcements to make about what others on the team will be doing and are working on right now, I’m STILL behind in Above Rubies work, but I AM catching up and I know you understand!  Mommy and wife comes first, but my passion for crafting and sharing is right up there!!! :)

    I’m looking forward to seeing
    what you do with Forever Young.

    I think that the card with the high heels would be one my 9-year-old granddaughter would love to make when she visits this summer. It’s a keeper.

    I love these projects. I am so happy for you also and for us. I love the cards. That Just Because card reminds me of the “Just Because” cartridge. Which is the top of my wish list.
    I recently did facebook which I am still learning to use. I somehow have this function that show my luck every day (Which is a Joke). Its has things like 4%. I think it is so funny, but I am not really very luck. I did order a Cuttlebug bundle from HSN. My budget with this new hobby has come to a stop. Keep up the great work.

    I really like the effect of the paper-pleating with the shoes . . . and the toe decoration! I think you should get into more purse projects. There are so many cute things that can be done with them . . . party favors, gift bags, small ones to hold gift cards, cookie or candy boxes.

    Megan – I’m glad your back on your feet. Agree family and yourself come first. I need to listen to my own words, as I am working 12+ hrs/day right now at work. Needless to say I haven’t been checkin in to oftern, but I really like the recycled card. I believe that is what you called it. Can’t wait to see more from you. Take care
