She said yes - - Everyday Cricut Project
Happy Saturday everyone. Sorry to have been MIA all week - I was dismantling my Christmas decor and working on some Spellbinders projects.
To make up to you for being gone all week I am the Saturday designer at Everyday Cricut. Okay. Really. It is just my normal Saturday at the Everyday Cricut blog but I AM sharing!
This week's project is called, She said yes! My older son proposed to his girlfriend during the Christmas holidays and Crissie said yes to marrying Aaron! As you might have guessed, my husband and I are thrilled. This layout is one that I will actually use in their scrapbook, but the photos were quickie computer printouts. The real photos are still being printed.
For all of the details on creating this layout, including cartridges, please head over to Everyday Cricut. There are also additional photos on the EC blog.
I will be back on Monday morning with a fun Bitten by the Bug 2 challenge project. Have a wonderful long weekend!

BBTB2 Bless This Nest Door Hanger - 1st Video
Happy Memorial Day! And welcome to the BBTB2 blog hop. I am not hopping today (I forgot to arrange a prize - oops!), but be sure to go by BBTB2 to begin the blog hop when you leave here. We had to use the Sweethearts cartridge, specifically the Bless This Nest cut. I used the phrase as well as the bird couple in the nest.
For a really rough idea of how I made this card, I assembled the card in my first ever video. This may not be the worst video ever made, but neither is it in the top ten! You will have A LOT of views of my arm and hand - oops. But the good news is I have finally figured out how to make a craft video. All I need is to purchase a tripod. That will happen this week! I McGyver-ed a the camera for tonight only, hence all of the hand/arm shots!! I will improve my video skills.

BBTB 2 Heart Card - Yet Another Valentine Moment
My final Cricut cut was the sweet XOXO cut from Tie The Know. I cut this is a Pink Paislee gingham, the reverse side of one of their "Cupid" cardstocks. I cut the XOXO shadow in Core'dination cardstock and attached the two layers together. I then affixed the cut to the lower third of the card front.
The flower embelishments on the front and inside of the card were made using prima white daisys, prima solid and gingham flowers and paper punches. I used a 1 1/4 inch circle punch and cut the circle flowers from the opposite side of the gingham paper. I then used a 3/4 inch circle punch and cut flower centers from the same paper. I hand trimmed a flower stem from the paper and attached it "growing" from the XOXO cut. I used large glitter brads to affix the four layers of flowers together. I finished the card front by attaching the foil embellishments.
Inside the card is the red foil Valentine phrase, yet another of the layered flowers and a delicate green stamp to represent the stem. All this card needs is a little note and a signature!
Please come back tomorrow for this week's Gypsy Spot challenge - today's card is part of a matching Valentine set which will be completely revealed tomorrow!! Sneak peek in the final photo in the this post.

Gypsy Spot Challenge - 3M Adhesive Backed Paper
Hello bloggers, happy Tuesday. This week at the Gypsy Spot we were challenged to use 3M's Post It brand paper, which has adhesive on the back with a peel off cover. I received three 8.5 x 11 inch sheets of the 3M paper - red, pink and white. So of course I immediately thought VALENTINE'S project.
I used my Gypsy and five cricut cartridges to design and cut this card: Sweethearts, Tie the Knot, George, Graphically Speaking and Winter Woodlands. Since so much of the nation is experiencing winter weather this Valentine's day, I chose the heart snowflake cut on Tie the Knot as a primary accent cut. The tiny red hearts in the middle of the heart snowflakes were cut from George. I added small snowflakes from Winter Woodlands to accent the three larger snowflakes.
The layered scalloped hearts are from the Sweethearts cartridge as is the word LOVE in the middle of the top heart. The word YOU is from Graphically Speaking. I wanted a plain font so as to not draw attention away from the word LOVE.
The base card was cut from Sweethearts and the rectangle on the top of the card was cut from George. I used a new Valentine Cuttlebug embossing folder on the background rectangle to add texture.
The flower is a Prima product and can be purchased at Custom Crops. The ribbon was from my stash. The brads are Stampin' Up brand. I hope that you and you Valentine snuggle up warmly this Valentine's Day!!
Note: The cut file has been added to the list of cut files at the right - 3M Love Valentine Card.
