Robotz Cricket Cartridge

Okay, I’m going to show you another quick project using the Robotz Cricket Cartridge. If you’re anything like me, life is crazy, so you need some quick scrapbook layout ideas. I have some simple formulas that I use. One of them is just strips of paper. I add strips of paper on my 12X12 cardstock, and this is just 6X12 inches of black and this is 12X12 yellow and I’m just using my ATG gun to quickly add the strip on… oops! I have a weird angle there… here we go, add the strip on here, oops.

Okay, and already you can just how it just separates the page and I’ve already cut this robot: “Hello, how are you doing?” I know I just wrote on the card that when boys see robots, that’s how they talk and I have three little boys and it’s really cute, I don’t know, probably the first five minutes, and then it really gets on your nerves, so, I thought I would make a scrapbook page of them posing like a robot, which they do all the time, and then, my title, which is also cut from the robots… I love this because it does have a cute title font, I’m sorry, a font feature, and of course you know what it’s going to say, right? And you have to say it like this: “I am a ro-bot,” because you know, if you have boys, they do talk like that. And some girls too, because I know, my daughters, when they were younger, my second oldest daughter, she liked to do that too. I think they just really appreciate how parents react when they talk like that for an hour.

So anyway, I thought it’d be really fun to have a scrapbook page that says, “I am a ro-bot” and then, now you add a picture and some journaling, and I’ll tell the story of how my kids drove me crazy talking like a robot for an hour one day, or however many days they do that, but it’ll be good memories. Anyway, here’s a quick and simple scrapbook layout, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Working with the…the Cosmo Cricket we have– the pantry, yourpaperpantry.ning.com — we started challenge groups where some of the groups are for swapping projects with each other and some of them are for challenges, just to kind of challenge yourself or to challenge each other and this one is for the 12X12 Layout Challenge. And um, Sara is the moderator of that and she… and this, for this month, she got some, um, Cosmo Cricket paper, she got Cosmo Cricket de- donated paper for our challenge this month, and so that’s why this is the Cosmo Cricket Challenge. You can use any Craftmo paper you want, you know you do have to be a member of yourpaperpantry, but you’ve got to… if you’re not already, come on over because we’re um constantly having fun.

So that’s the challenge this month, be sure to visit the cosmo cricket blog, now use the Cosmo Cricket and do a layout, so I thought as the leader of my little band of gypsies, why don’t I do—I’ll challenge myself to do a layout, you know, something I haven’t done, except for the pretend layouts for my husband’s work, so um, being a good little leader, I am doing a, the challenge. So, hopefully, everybody will join in and you know, um, who doesn’t want to win free paper, you know, especially Cosmo Cricket?! Theirs has got to be the best in the whole world! You know, of course, until ah Graphic 45 comes out with something new, so don’t tell Cosmo. No, I do, I’ve always loved cosmo cricket paper, it’s just… I’m very drawn to it. Excuse me. I don’t want a black heart.

Cricut Cake Sugar Cookies

cricketmaster — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 08:40:56 +0000

Today I made a another project using the Cricut Cake. I combined the Cricut Cake with a few of the cutting cafe files. The machine performed great. I made some sugar cookie dough, which I made apple cookie and used a tag from the cutting cafe from the all occasions tags set these tag punch out perfectly using the stamp the map tag punch. The cookies were cut out at 3 inches with the Cricut Cake Machine. I did a lot of trial and error with the machine but it really impressed me when I was done. Next I made a sugar tree for a birtday party for earth day. I put brown fondo and I created a strawberry. If your sugar cookie dough gets to buttery, add more flower to it, mead it well then roll it on the mat with lots of shortning, put it in the freezer for 15 minutes then it cuts better.
By the way Hall Mark scrapbook is the best place to purchase the cricut cake and related items.

Cricket Expression – Larger Cutting Format

cricketmaster — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:53:58 +0000

If you plan to travel short or long distances with your cutting machine make sure you understand the the original cricket design is much more compact then the Cricket Expression. It does offer a much larger format then it’s smaller cousin and for me that is a huge benefit. I never like to be confined by the size of my scrapbook format. The creative process is what I love and keeping limitations away from me help me create great projects.

So the short of it is, I think it’s worth being a little on the big size for the creative freedom it gives me during a cricket scrapbooking project.

Vintage scrapbooking paper

cricketmaster — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 05:07:18 +0000

I just started a new scrapbook project last Saturday and I had a great idea. This one is for my parents, which by the way the are in there 80′s. Still spry though they about to renew there wedding vows on a cruise ship. Boom I had a great idea. Follow this:

What if I created a scrapbook that started out vintage and then transitioned to current modern style layouts when it was complete. I decided to not only make the look of the paper old, but actually go out and find old paper. Where you might ask. Exactly right. I went to a 2nd hand bookstore to find some very old creative looking papers in old book. Actual vintage stuff.

Well needless to say the scrapbook was a huge success and every loved the really old look and feel…because it was old. Needless to say the parents are happily cuddling each other as they look through the vintage theme scrapbook.

Below I included a video of a scrapbook with vintage text
