New cricut cartridges coming out

I was so excited when I saw the new cricut cartridges coming out, specially the Bible Stories related. Here are my favorite new cartridges.

Check up time layout

I used everyday paper dolls cart. for all the cuts except the number and the letters those were cut using don juan cart. The paper I found at a scrapbook yard sale. I did not ask for the nurse permission to post her picture I hope she doesn't mind.

Story time layout

I read to my mids a lot, so they really enjoy books and when I found this paper by Karen foster I knew what kind of layout to make ,but I struggle comming up with ideas so that I don't cover the paper much cause I really love all the words and characters in the paper so I decided to doodle around the “story time” saying and just went over some of the things on the paper with gel pens and martha stewart fine point markers.

Card organizer/keeper

Some call this a card keeper others card organizer. I will post instructions later on, but all you really need is 6 sheets of 12x12 paper for the inside , some sturdy chipboard for the cover and the back and you can cover the chipboard with paper or paint it. I don't have a bind it all machine and I'm not planing to get one any time soon cause I really don't bind my projects and my hubby works at Staples so I ask him to bind it for me tbere. So you can take your project to a copy center at Staples and they will bind it for you really cheap.

I made this layout the last time I went to a crop at Michaels. I use the plantin school book cart. and don juan for the hand, the dove came from a dove edge punch. I don't remember the paper brand.

Altered Xmas clipboard

I altered this Stampin Up clipboard with christmas paper I found in Michaels.
I use beer caps courtesy of my family in law, and no I don't drink.

House build of Cards

I know what you are probably thinking, a house made with diferent cards, but no that's not what this is about.
I came across this post at the Cricut website:

"First off, I want to say that this card is very special to me! This past month, I sold enough cards to build my first house for a widow in Burundi!!! Yep...$600...and a women and her children if she has any, have a roof over their heads, dignity restored, and living proof that because of the Lord, a miracle can happen! So, I wanted to make a card to enclose the check I will be mailing to Sister Connection.

This is also for the Magazine Challenge on the Circle blog - to use something from one of the magazines as inspiration and make it your own! I used a lot of carts on this one! More details and info on my blog HERE if you're interested!

The website provides other ways of helping.

I hope this inspires you the same way inspired me.

Rainy Day

For this Lo I use "Every day paper dolls" cartridge, "Simply Charmed" and the flowers are quickutz die cuts

Basic grey "Max and Whiskers"

I made this Lo of "Cricpin"the family guineapig, using basic grey "max and whiskers" collection. I give my guinea pig a bath 3 times a month thats why he looks wet on the picture with the white towel, he loves carrots, strawberries and attention of course.
