Sweeet as a Bug & New Pictures

of my Craftroom completed.

I wanted to share some new pictures of my craftroom. Hubby and I are almost done with it. So I figured I would share the updated pictures today :)  I also have "Sweeet as a Bug" card to share as well.

I love this sweet little bug "Lara Ladybug" she is from Digital Delights found here. I printed 3 ladybugs and colored 2 full ones, for the 3rd layer I cut colored the wing and top part of the ladybugs head, and then cut the 2 pieces out. My laybug is 3 layers high, its kinda hard to tell from the picture.

Here are some pictures of my Craft Room. Hubby and I have taken our times finishing this. I have a couple more things to do and then it will be completed. But for now it works perfect for me :)

New center work station

2 chairs can be at this station. I do all my coloring here and designing.

Another new addition to my craft space is the sewing station

Springtime Favors

Hello everyone todays post is a small Heartshaped metal favor tin decorated with the flowers from "April Showers" the Spring Collection Cartridge from Scrapbookpal.com

 I wanted to try to make some flowers from this cartridge and I LOVE the flowers, they work perfect for making little flowers and big flowers.


Supplies Used:
April Showers Cartridge
12 x 12 mat
Cricut Expressions
Cardstock (2 colors-blue/green)
beads(for centers of flowers)

This cartridge is super easy to use and super FUN tooo! And Scrapbookpal.com has AWESOME prices on all of their cartridges and other scrapbooking goodies, dont forget FREE shipping on all orders over 25.00!!! Wooohooo cant beat that!! :)
First I cut my blue flowers =

6 at 3/4 of an inch
3 @1"
1 @ 1 1/4 "
Now for the Green=
1 @ 1"
2 @ 3/4 "
Now scrunch your flowers each one, and then glue them together. You will use 3 of the 3/4 inch flowers to make 1 small flower, and then do the same with the other 3, then use the 1 large( 1 1/4") for the large flower and use the 3 1" for the middle of it. let set, and then glue to the green flower, and add your beads to the centers.

These are super fun to make and easy too. I think they would work perfect for shower gifts,wedding favors or even baby shower favors with a little tag hanging :)

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs,

Cheryl
