Inchies

I have not blogged in over a week! I thought for sure this would be something I could do daily. It's hard! Before blogging my crafts I could create like nobody's business but now I have like "crafters block". I did finish up some inchies for a swap so I will at least post those. These were super simple thanks to my Cricut! An "inchie" is an inch block or shape decorated however you want. These are great embellishments for just about any paper craft. The theme that I just finished were "school inchies" Next I will finish up "birthday inchies". I joined a swap for these so I made 50 of the same ones and will get back 1 of mine and 49 other ones. This was a big swap! Swaps are fun because you get to see other peoples talent and it feels good to make something and KNOW all your hard work will be appreciated. Here are the "school" inchies:


Blackboard with an apple and chalk:







This one is a notebook paper and pencil. I printed the blue lines on the paper with Microsoft Publisher then cut it out with my cricut. The pencil I cut out with my C then colored it with crayola colored pencils and then covered it with Glossy Accents.





~Enjoy~

Email Subscription 2

Testing to see if I get my email subscriptions. I haven't been getting them with the widget I have so I decided to try feedburner directly to see if this corrects the problem. If it does (I'll let you know) you will need to re-subscribe with the new email subscription box, I deleted the old one.

Back bug flourish thinner version

I do not really like the flourish on the back of my bug because it's too thick. For those that agree with me I made it thinner. If you like the thick one you can download that one still too. I'll post pics of the both.

This is the thick flourish




This is the thinner flourish:

Pink Bug decorated.

As you know my original Cricut Expression I painted pink. I wanted a pink one REALLY bad so I painted it. Then Provo Craft decided to come out with a pink one. At first I wasn't going to get one but my DH got it for me for Christmas (yea!). I put vinyl flourishes on it that I made using inkscape I then cut it out using Sure-Cuts-A-Lot. If you have SCAL you are more than welcome to download and cut the flourishes for yourself. This is the flourish that is on the front of my bug. The little pieces at the top are scraps.







This is the back of my bug. It has another flourish I made. You can get that one here.





On the side of the Expression are little cricket bug heads. They aren't colored I guess they're embossed. I was able to get a StoreFront cricut cartridge and on it has the bug head. I cut out two of those with the pink vinyl and placed it over the embossed white one on both sides.







On the curves of the flourishes I'm going to put rhinestones. They look like the bling on the bottom right corner of my bug.
