Here is a spectacular layout designed by Steph. She will be teaching it at the Expo at Easton Firehouse on October 17th. I'm working on the times, so that I can post all of the pictures and details! Happy Fall!

I need to get my butt home, but I wanted to share this Christmas Layout with you. The class will offered at the Cricut Day on 11/28 and also at both weekend crops in November in Ocean City. Have a great weekend!

Easy Card to Make Using Cricut

Here is a really simple, yet striking card that we did in Card Class this week. You can use your Cricut and some scrap Paper. To make the flower I cut out the following:

2 - 1" Asters from Walk in My Garden (Walnut Bazzill)
2 - 1 1/2" Asters from Walk in My Garden (Copper Bazzill)
2 - 1 3/4" Asters from Walk in My Garden (Cheddar Bazzill)

Before assembling the flower, I inked the edges with a Chestnut Road Cat's Eye Chalk Ink. I also inked the edges of the front of the card. To attach the layers, I used a small bit of Tombow permanent adhesive between each flower. Then I attached a bright yellow rhinestone in the center.

You could cut these out bigger and put on a scrapbook page....hmmm Expo Idea Brewing!

Other supplies used: Swirl Stamp by Inkadinkado, Thank You by Inkadinkado, Fall Paper from Bo Bunny, fawn Cardstock by Bazzill

ENJOY! Go Create something fun!
