Today I worked on a 12 x 12 Scrapbook layout. This is an Anna Griffin layout in the Make it Now section in Cricut Design Space. 

I love the details and the intricate butterflies that cut so well on the Explore. 

I left the sentiment blank as I am not sure what picture I am using for this layout. Once I decide I will either add a stamped sentiment with one of  my Close to My Heart stamps or print and cut a sentiment with my Explore.

Here is a close up of one of the butterflies, Love the dimension!

Today’s project is a Double Sided Pocket Card x 2. 

The uber cute stamp I used is from Close to My Heart, the Cricut Artiste Collection Birthday. You can pick it up using my Close To My Heart link to the right.

The Choose Happy Card is listed in my Etsy Shop. This one has paper flower, lace ribbon and doily embellishments. 

Hope you enjoyed my project. Thanks for stopping by!

I also linked up to the following linky parties-

Explosion boxes are so much fun. You can add pictures, journaling notes or other mementos and give to someone special to brighten their day. This box is no different and since I have started drinking so much tea lately I thought this would be the perfect theme.

The explosion box is 4 x 3 7/8 when closed and when open and fully extended, it is approximately 15 1/2 by 15 1/2 inches. 

The center of the box has a cute teacup with tulle and rose decoration with pop out “You’re My Cup of Tea” and Tea cup embellishments. 

I hope you enjoyed my project.

So happy to be posting my Frilly Easel Cards today! The SVG is from My Scrap Chick. I used my Cricut Explore to cut out the file and then embellished the easel cards with flowers, lace, tulle and mini jewels.

First up is my favorite… at least I think this one is my favorite. I just love them all! I used the My Reflections Blossom Card Stock from Close to My Heart. I absolutely love how this paper cuts so smoothly on my Explore.

Next up are two Mother’s Day Cards.

These cards are dimensional and make great keepsakes. You can easily put them on display.

Each Easel Card measures 5 in by 5 in and they are all listed in my Etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/LoveMeKnotsbyHBD

I hope you enjoyed my project. Thanks for stopping by!

I love working on mini albums! Sometimes they take me much longer than other projects but the results are always fabulous.

It is a paper bag mini album. I made the flowers on the cover with my Cricut Explore as well as all of the tags on the inside.

The Dream Big Mini Album is 8 1/4 by 5 1/4 with a 2 7/8 inch spine. It has 6 sections that each have a pocket and a fold out with 6 pull tags at the top measuring 8 1/4 by 4 1/2 in. 

There are 11 mini tags measuring 4 3/8 by 3 3/8, 6 medium size tags measuring 4 6/8 by 3 1/2 in and 6 by 4 3/8. There are all 6 heart tags measuring 4 inches.

Hope you enjoyed my project and thanks for stopping by!

I love to make thank you gifts to show my appreciation and here is my most recent project. 

If you are like me, you are a craft hoarder. I constantly buy scrapbook paper, card stock, embellishments, ATG tape, glitter, etc…the list goes on and on and of course includes enamel dots.

January is my birthday month but I also share this birthday month with my dad, two brothers, a sister in law and my nephew! Whew, that’s a lot celebrations and a lot of gifts!

This album is 6.75 x 5.50 inches. Each page has a pocket with tags on one side and the other side has room for pictures or other keepsakes. There are a total of 16 tags.

I just love all of the designer paper I was able to use to decorate each cupcake! Plus there is room for pictures on one side and the other holds cute tags.

The tags are probably my fav! I used a different tag for each cupcake and added tulle or ribbon for the pull.

If this is your birthday month also, Happy Birthday to you! I hope you enjoyed my project.

Thanks for stopping by!

Craft Enabler: Happy Birthday Mini Album

I am in love with ballet and all things ballet. I luckily have a tiny niece who shares my enthusiasm and who is starting her second year of ballet.

Last year, her birthday theme was pink ballerinas and the garland I created today is a rendition of that garland. My Ballerina Rosette Garland is approximately 65 inches in length.

I used purple grosgrain ribbon and each rosette is spaced at 7 inches apart.

The count down to Christmas continues and here is my next Christmas card. It is the Poinsettia Box Card from SVG Cuts. I love how simple it was to put together and think I may be making a few more of these tonight.

And of course like all SVG Cuts box cards, it comes with its own envelope that the card folds up into nicely.

Thanks for stopping by!
