Summer days are finally here (in most parts, anyway). So I've been playing with two of my favorite cartridges, and have created a bright and colorful "Lazy Days" layout that I would love to just hop on into and spend the day there! This is really a pretty versatile layout. It would be great for beach pictures, of course, but also would work for any swimming pool pictures, and of course a fun summer day at the Disney Parks. And hey, if you need an excuse to book a Disney cruise, this just might do it for you, lol! Oh, and one more little note: if you don't have the Mickey & Friends cart, or if you just want a straightforward beach theme, it's quite easy to subtract Mickey and Pluto, and still end up with a great layout.

Full directions to this layout (and a bunch more) are now available on my Cricut Kits page for $5 each. Directions include my Cricut Cut Chart, which shows you line by line exactly what you'll need to cut on your machine with all of the settings. And cuts are grouped by color so it's nice and efficient. There are also well organized written instructions and plenty of color photographs. Detailed paper information is also included. If you purchase directions with PayPal, you'll soon get an email through which you can automatically download the directions right away. Google checkout is also an option, but I do process those by hand, so it may take upto a day or two.

This is a very detailed layout, with a few oddities, but with some time and patience, you shouldn't have too much trouble (I hope!!) To complete this layout as shown, you'll need the following supplies: Cricut Expression®, Life’s a Beach cart, Mickey & Friends cart, dark brown chalk ink, 3D pop dots, white gel pen, black pen, piercing tool, plus basic tools and adhesive. I also used 3 medium silver brads (1/2” diameter) and some blue polka dot ribbon (3/8” wide).

Spring greetings, my Cricut friends!  Well, I am in Florida at the moment, enjoying my extended family and the beautiful weather.  And hey, I just so happened to have finished writing directions for a couple of my latest layouts.  Yup, there are TWO brand new ones!

Speaking of Florida, who doesn't love a fun Disney layout?  I know I could use about 20 more as I have so many pictures from various trips and even a couple of Disney themed birthday parties I've thrown.  So I present to you my new "Disney Magic" layout... (See below for more details.)

And yes, I know that Spring has sprung (in most parts of the country anyway).  So at least now you can feel your fingers enough to scrap all of those snow pictures you took this winter.  And this new "Frosty" layout should get you started... (See below for more details.)

Full directions to both of these layouts (and a bunch more) are now available on my Cricut Kits page for $5 each.  Directions include my Cricut Cut Chart, which shows you line by line exactly what you'll need to cut on your machine with all of the settings.  And cuts are grouped by color so it's nice and efficient.  There are also well organized written instructions and plenty of color photographs.  Detailed paper information is also included.  If you purchase directions with PayPal, you'll soon get an email through which you can automatically download the directions right away.  Google checkout is also an option, but I do process those by hand, so it may take upto a day or two.


To complete the Disney Magic layout as shown, you'll need the following supplies:

Alrighty, my friends. You have waited so patiently, and here it is. A layout based on my very favorite Disney movie - Monsters, Inc.!! This layout would obviously by perfect for pictures you may have taken at the Disney parks. We have the cutest picture of our daughter standing right in front of Boo's door, and it's going to look adorable on here. But even if you've never been to the Disney attraction, you could use this to scrap pictures of your sweet little one asleep in their cozy bed, or dressed as a monster for Halloween, having a popcorn party while watching Monsters Inc., or even playing around at the Disney store.
This layout was created by yours truly. Due to a new and improved healthy life balance, I'm no longer offering full kits with papers, but I do have full directions available for $5 on the Cricut Kits page. The directions include the Cricut Cut Chart, which shows you exactly what you'll need to cut on your machine with all of the settings, and the cuts are grouped by color to make it nice and efficient. There are also detailed, well-organized written instructions and plenty of large color photographs.

To complete this project as shown, you'll need the following supplies: Cricut Expression®, Best of Pixar cart, Kate’s ABCs cart, various chalk inks (colors I used were Aegean Blue, Pink Petunia, Jumbo Java, Perfect Plumeria, Pretty Petunia, Spanish Olive), 3D pop dots, silver gel pen, white gel pen, brown pen, Crop-a-dial or small hole punch, tweezers and/or good dexterity, scotch tape, plus basic tools and adhesive. You’ll also need ribbon (I used narrow medium purple ribbon to hang the doors, plus 3 colors of ¼” grosgrain ribbon: bright green, lavender and soft blue). Plus, of course you'll need various colors of cardstock.

To get these directions (or choose from a zillion others), just pop over to our Cricut Kits page, and it's right at the top. Directions are $5, and if you checkout with PayPal, it'll automatically send you a link to download the directions right away. Google checkout is also available, but since I process those by hand, it may take upto a day to send you the directions.
What Disney or Pixar theme would you like to see next???

Testing, testing, 1... 2... 3...

It's been ages since I've posted anything here, so I thought I'd test this out to see if y'all still get notified when I do post.  Fingers crossed!

Sooooo, be on the lookout very soon for my newest layout.  I've just finished a Monster's Inc. layout, and am writing directions for it so that I'll be able to make them available here on the website soon.  If there seems to be a continued demand for Disney layouts, I may wind up doing a few more (directions only - no full kits).  Let me know what ya think.

I would love to hear what you all have been upto lately.  Around here, life has been crazy busy, but in a good way.  I've been focusing on my family and my workouts.  Get this - I'm already signed up for a whole bunch of races this year, including a half marathon, various 5k runs, and a couple of triathlons!  And I'm happy to report that I've been doing plenty of scrapbooking, but doing it for fun for my own family albums.

Take care, and I'll be posting again soon when the Monsters, Inc. directions are ready!

Greetings, buggy friends!!!  Well, it has taken some serious man hours (and chick hours), but as per popular demand, we have finally added our other 36 projects to the shopping cart area HERE.  So all 36 of these projects now have directions available for automatic download, and they're still at the sale price of $5 (normally $10). 

These are all previously sold-out/retired projects that have never been shown in our shopping cart previously, though you may remember seeing many of them in past blog posts.  This batch includes some popular favorites such as the "Wild About You" book, the "Bee Happy" layout, "Winter Magic" layout, and the "Dream Book" plus bunches more!  Be sure to check them out HERE and get your favorites while they're on sale!

Sale update:  ALL kits are now officially SOLD OUT, and it took less than 24 hours.  I'm in shock!!!  Keep in mind that directions are still available for everything, and those are still half price at $5.  We will start getting the kits shipped out tomorrow.  Thanks to everyone who was fast on the draw and helped clean us out!!

ps.  For those of you who ordered directions already:  If you paid with PayPal, you should have been given the option to download them automatically.  If this didn't work, please let me know.  You can email me at moniquegriffith@yahoo.com.  If you paid with Google checkout, I will manually process your order (hopefully today), and will then email you the directions that you ordered.

Hmmm, ok, I don't know why my blog looks like garbage.  How strange - I'll have to look into that.

But for now, a quick update on the sale.  Most of the kits have sold out in a matter of a few hours.  I've probably gotten 50-60 orders in that time.  Crazy!!!  At this moment, the ones that remain are a few Minnie Mouse Books, and a few of the Cruisin' layout.  Sorry they've disappeared so quickly, but remember that ALL of the directions are on sale too.

Thanks so much, everyone, and I'll start getting them shipped out in the next couple of days.
