A Travel Mini

Creating a mini has become so simple I think using my Cricut. As a junior designer for Stampin Dymonz Scrap Shack.info, I am a co-moderator for the Cricut group. So I created this mini has one of my bi-weekly assignments. The Expression made it so easy to whip up a mini and do a video to show other members how easy it is. I'm posting some inside pics. as well for you to look at. You can view the video at my YouTube Channel, FayRaiDesigns.

A "Little Pretty BooK"

Hi Crafters! Mystele(Little Glimpses Studio) has done it again. She created a few of her "little pretty books" and of course I had to scraplift it. These little books are chalked full of little bits and pieces of whatever you have in your stash. This one uses the #8 Tim Holtz shipping taag die. I think it came out just adorable.

NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY

I

I attended a Scrap-together at my Scrapbuddy Vera K

house on NSD. As always she had gorgeous displays

and plenty of good eats. We did some scrappy games

and had prizes as well. She is such a good hostess.

Here is a two page layout I did on NSD

This display was made by the host

Vera Kelley. She used the Cindy Loo

Cricut cartridge to do the cupacake

wrappers. Her table was gorgeous!

She had a garden theme. Her napkins

had a bird with nest and atop the

cupcakes were little blue jellybeans

with peanut butter for the nest and to

hold them in place. Fabulous!

User-Friendly Projects

Here is a photo box project I was inspired to create. It holds mini layouts using some of my photos that I haven't used in any layout project. What a neat idea.

Another Elegant Edges Project

Yet another project using this awesome and versatile cart. called Elegant Edges from Provocraft. While viewing a UT video of a similiar mini album, I decided to see what my EE had to offer and it rose to the occasion. Using the cartridge and my Expression ( a personal diecutting machine) I found a similiar shape as the one I saw on the UT video. It was perfect. I cut the shape out at 51/2 inches using the frame and shadow features found on this cart. I chose CS from various designs that I have in my paper stash and Viola! A mini that's elegant and handy to show off. So get your hand on this Cricut cart. You won't be disappointed.
