Quick Tip Tuesday: Cricut Cuttables Stamps

Welcome to Quick Tip Tuesday!  I was on a virtual hunt for a particular stamp set today, and came across a number of different reviews for the Cricut Cuttables Stamp Kit.  Although there are some people who do not seem very happy with the product, I came across more who were delighted with using their Cricut machines to cut their own stamps.  If you have a Gypsy or Design Studio, you could also pack lots on to the 6x6 stamp sheet that comes in the kit - or design your own images or word art.  To use this product, you will need a deep cut blade. 

 I also came across this video with a product tutorial:

Have you used this product?  What are your thoughts?

Happy Crafting!

Scrappin' Saturday: Getting Ready For The Holidays!

Happy Saturday!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday week and enjoyed all the yummy pumpkin pie your little hearts desired!  :)  The weekend after Thanksgiving always puts me in the mood for Christmas.  I love getting out all the Christmas decorations and getting in the Holiday Spirit!

It also tends to put me into "Holiday Scrapbooking Mode"...so I went searching for some Christmas-themed Cricut layouts for inspiration today, and I ended up (again!) at Monique Griffith's blog, MonkeyDoodleCricut.  :)

This chick seriously makes me drool every time I see a new layout of hers!  So, here are few of her recent and a-little-less-recent Christmas and Winter themed layouts for you to feast your eyes on.  Hopefully they'll put you in Holiday Scrapbooking Mode, too!

For details on each layout, and cartridges used to create each of these masterpieces, please visit Monique's blog HERE.  Thanks again for your awesome inspiration, Monique!!!

Happy Scrappin'!  :)

Fantabulous Friday #37

Good morning everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful day of food, family and fun. I hope you were able to take some time to reflect and be thankful!
Of course, today is BLACK FRIDAY…a day to go shopping for those wonderful holiday deals!

Here is a layout I made commemorating my shopping experience last year. It was the one and only time I have attempted it. I used my Cricut to cut out the letters and parts of the bear. Although, last night I was smack in the middle of it, for reasons I won't go into....but suffice it to say, you know it is crazy when it takes you over an hour of sitting in traffic to move as far as it would normally take you 5 minutes tops!


So to keep with the theme of the day I thought I would share a few of the wonderfully “Fantabulous” deals you can get from some of our Fantabulous sponsors.

Thursday 11-25 (starting at midnight tonight) and ending on Sunday 11-28 @ 11:59 pm CST,
