Fantabulous Friday #15

Happy summer!! I was looking through some of my past crafts, and wanted to share some beach bucket fun.

I used this first beach bucket as a centerpiece for a summer party. All shapes came from Life is a Beach cartridge.

This bucket was a gift set for a friend. Since you can find these buckets inexpensively at craft stores, it is a great way to pull together a summer theme with any color scheme!

Enjoy your weekend :)

Thursday's Tutorial #15

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to another day filled with an AWESOME tutorial!

If you have a teenager at home then you know that the new
"Twilight" movie - "Eclipse" is set to hit movie theaters next week.
My teen keeps reminding me! (smile)

I found a "Twilight" fan who also loves her Cricut.
Meet Veronica and her wonderful blog called
Veronica's Cricut Creations.

She has made the cutest "Twilight" themed projects.

These projects can easily be cut with Design Studio or Sure Cuts A Lot.

Veronica is such a big fan that she has a "Twilight" room in her home. Her blog has the vinyl creations that she made for her wall to fit the theme. She also made a "Twilight" mom vinyl car decal.

Be sure to comment here if you love these "Twilight" craft ideas.

Also be sure to visit Veronica's blog to see more of her wonderful creations.

Quick Tip Tuesday #15

Well ladies another Tuesday is upon us and summer is officially here!  Yippee! and It is time for another quick and fantabulous tip.

Now if you have ever given your scrap space a tidy after creating an elabourate layout or creation you will notice that our craft is not the most environmentally friendly.  Besides all the scraps of paper, there are loads of wrappers, packaging, tape backing, you name it!  To make up for that downfall one thing many scrappers attempt to do is recycle!!!!  One way I love to recycle is to alter and reuse pretty much anything I can get my hands on, and today I thought I would share some of my personal reused creations. 

This was a canister of Cashew that I turned into a treat potty jar filled with lollypops

Here is an old picture frame that I scrapped inside of.

This box contained a braclet that I recieved as a gift.

This is a box of Ovation Chocolates, altered and ready for gifting!

Baby food jars make the cutest little containers for candy

and lastly here is a cardboard container that I altered and filled with beer for a friends Birthday.

I hope I have inspired you to browse around from some items to alter in your scrap space!  Go Green!!

Scrappin' Saturday: Drawing With Your Cricut!

Welcome to another Scrappin' Saturday here at FCCB!

Today I'd like to show you a super-fun product that I have just recently purchased and LOVE...the Mini Gel Pen Holder and Mini Marker Holder, by Chomas Creations! These holders fit in your Cricut machine and allow you to draw on your Cricut projects, using mini gel pens and markers!

One of the reasons I was initially interested in these holders is because the Cricut brand markers that fit in the Cricut are not permanent, and therefore do not work on transparencies, shrink plastic and other similar slick surfaces...they smear. The Mini Sharpie Holder solves that problem! You may be wondering how to incorporate these on your layouts....well, Amy Chomas, the creator of these nifty little gadgets, has tons of beautiful scrapbook pages posted on her website, all made using her Mini Gel Pen Holder or Mini Sharpie Holder. Here are just a few:

Awesome, aren't they??? Robin, the creator of FCCB, also featured the Mini Gel Pen Holder in her Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post HERE. You can see the awesome detail these holders provide on her beautiful card below:

This video, by Custom Crops, shows you step-by-step how to use the Mini Gel Pen and Mini Marker Holders in your machine:

Be sure to head over to Chomas Creations and tell Amy how super-cool these holders are! If you have these holders and would like to share a project that you've made with them, leave us a comment below with a link to your creation...we'd love to see it! Happy Scrappin'!!!
