By the end of the weekend, we crafters may need a little more inspiration. That is why FCCB has the Sunday Spotlight column where we showcase work from Guest Designers. This week we are so thrilled to have Shawn Mosh from Crafty Chics Blog join us. Her blog is full of great inspiration, so definitely check it out. Shawn is also the owner of MyCutSearch. Her Cricut search engine is fantastic when you want to find just the right cut.
Shawn told us a little about her crafting history:
In the fall of 2004 I was invited to a crop event at
my daughter’s daycare. Several of the
daycare teachers were avid scrapbookers.
I had never scrapbooked before . . . I had always placed photos into
photo albums and sometimes I would slide a few pieces of memorabilia into the
photo albums. I told myself that the
ONLY reason I was going to this crop was because it was a fundraiser for the
daycare and the teachers told me about some Disney themed products that would
be sold there . . . we had just taken a trip to Walt Disney World that year, so
I figured that I would do “just this one scrapbook” of our 2004 trip to Walt
Disney World.
Now, 10 years later, I have a crafting blog, a website devoted to helping
people find images on Cricut cartridges and we have converted my son’s old
bedroom into my craft room.
I love the rhinestone sticker sheets from The
Buckle Boutique. These sheets are
amazing! The gems are actually a soft
resin that you can cut with scissors, a craft knife or a die cutting
machine. Yes . . . you can cut them with
your Cricut! I have used them to add
sparkle to so many projects. Just cut
the shape I want with the Cricut, peel off the backing and stick. You get the look of rhinestones without
having to line up and glue down each individual gem.
I also love my papers. I cannot get enough of them! My husband even built me a paper tower for my craft room so that I can separate them by colors and patterns and keep them all organized. No matter how much paper I have, I can always fine more that I have to add to my collection.

Shawn's favorite Cricut cartridge:
That’s an easy one . . . ANY of the Disney Cricut
cartridges!
Here are some great examples from Shawn's blog:

Love your layouts!!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say thank you for all the great inspiration you are always providing. I found your blog quite by chance, and have been following in the hopes of some day linking up with one of your fabulous, fun challenges. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful Disney layouts. The Disney cuts can be very detail and hard to assemble in my opinion. You did a wonderful job. I use to work for the Mouse as in Mickey Mouse at Disney World in FL thru high school & college.

I've been following Shawn's blog for at least a couple of years now and really like it. I've also met Shawn as we live not too far away from each other and she is very friendly and helpful. Congrats, Shawn, on the spotlight today!
ReplyDeleteGreat layouts! Just want to tell you how much I appreciate your website "My Cut Search" It makes it so easy when your looking for a certain shape. Saves time which in turn you can use for crafting. Win win!
