(((Helloooo?))) (((Helloooo?))) Is there anyone in here? Or is this an old, abandoned cave now? I hope there's no bears hibernating and waiting for an easy meal. I'll tip toe very quietly. Shhhhh.</p><p>I think the coast is clear. I'm going to write in hieroglyphics on the cave wall so that future generations will know I was here in 2020, the year the world almost ended. But before it almost ended, I made a really fun Snoopy layout in a last ditch attempt to bring joy to a downtrodden world.</p><p>If you are still alive out there, and if you still have electricity and working craft supplies, this one is for you. It's my first ever DIGITAL kit!! Yup, you'll get a zip file with a bunch of separate svg files and one pdf file with directions and color photos. Then you just cut everything with your own machine and put it together. I even designed it with solid color cardstock so it's easy to reproduce. It's only $7, and before you ask, nope, I'm not making any actual kits - not even for my own mother. So go buy the file for your Silhouette or Cricut (newish model that uses Design Studio software), and have one last hurrah before the end of the world. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/924867319/home-for-the-holidays-snoopy-layout-svg?ref=shop_home_feat_1" target="_blank">Link to Etsy file is HERE</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5-EHXnWmvGAuXDwYDxgUk-VA8S8MGP2DvtOUVAOX0vK1itxVlu5vifZec3V3IamQ4s_M0fCfKdGgN9Bl338SDaiVTB3MSutZIhj-5h-xGu0rQy6pZfaLUetL7BprYRZTulLLN8-dGA/s2048/IMG_0025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="2048" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5-EHXnWmvGAuXDwYDxgUk-VA8S8MGP2DvtOUVAOX0vK1itxVlu5vifZec3V3IamQ4s_M0fCfKdGgN9Bl338SDaiVTB3MSutZIhj-5h-xGu0rQy6pZfaLUetL7BprYRZTulLLN8-dGA/w442-h238/IMG_0025.jpg" width="442" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p>Monique Griffithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12255052573751243644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261424996375194658.post-15045452065718177842019-09-16T16:43:00.000-07:002019-09-16T16:43:32.106-07:00NEW Limited Edition Kits! Snoopy, Disney and Elf!Hello friends! Just a quick post to let you all know that I have designed 3 brand new layout kits for a fundraiser to help send my daughter (and possibly help a couple of her friends go) to New York City with her high school choir to sing at the Lincoln Center. I am only making about 50 of each kit, and they are already nearly half sold, so I'd recommend not waiting long if you want any of these. Also, these will be different from my previous kits because there will be NO Cricut cuts to make!!! All of the pieces will be pre-cut for you, so you just get to do the fun part and put it together. Kits are $30 each. Shipping is available in the US. You may purchase kits with shipping on my Etsy site <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MoniqueGriffith?ref=shop_sugg&fbclid=IwAR132LCwY-HlfKE730ps-st-yIS6fNd3vwvkfbUTLtL5EWGEM2W5t0tbmys" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Or for local pickup, you can just send me an email to moniquegriffith@yahoo.com telling me what you want, and then once I receive payment, I'll put you on the list. Kits should be ready before the end of 2019, but I'm aiming for ASAP.<br />

I'm checking in to give you all a brief update and to let you know of a FUNdraiser I'm doing.<br />
<br />
As you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I'm now a 5 year Survivor of Inflammatory Breast Cancer, which is seriously miraculous!! I'm happy, healthy, and enjoying life, and so very thankful for that! IBC is the most deadly form of breast cancer, and has only a 40% survival rate, yet many people don't even know about it. Please learn the signs here on the <a href="https://www.theibcnetwork.org/" target="_blank">IBC Network Foundation</a> site, and be aware!! <br />
<br />
So, the other day, I went on a Google search, hunting for an image of Snoopy (my favorite!!) holding a pink ribbon. I could find nothing even close, so I got to work designing it myself. I made a shirt for myself, and one for Emily and my Mom. And then it occurred to me that maybe I could do some good with this design. So I ordered a bunch more blank t-shirts, and also made some decals, and I'll be donating $2 from each item sold to IBC research (though my friend Terry Arnold, who founded the IBC Network Foundation, and is a Survivor herself, as well as a fantastic advocate and speaker for us!). You can purchase the t-shirts and decals on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MoniqueGriffith?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">Etsy Store HERE</a>. You'll get something cute, show your support, and be contributing to research all at the same time!!<br />

<br />
In other news - on a more personal front, here's what I've been upto. For the past 2 years, I have been taking TaeKwonDo with Emily, who is now 11. We are both blue belts now, and have learned SO much! I love seeing Emily enjoy a sport and excel at it. And it's been a dream of mine for many years to earn my black belt. We should both be testing for black belt in exactly 1 year. So I'm really stepping up my fitness routine, and have added weight lifting, and will be really focusing on my running as well. I plan to be VERY ready!! I also enjoy being a stay-at-home-mom to Em, and helping her with homework and school stuff each night. For her recent birthday, I agreed to re-do her room from pastel little princess look to a bright turquoise ocean theme. I'm even painting an ocean mural on a 14 foot long wall in her room. It may take me a while longer to finish, but it's coming along nicely.<br />

I love using Etsy because I can easily put some direction sets on sale for you. For instance, I just "featured" 4 of my favorite Halloween and Fall projects, and marked them at $3 for a limited time. Sweet!<br />
<br />
On a personal note, I am doing well - still healthy and cancer free!! Woohoo!! I am still scrapbooking for personal fun, but have ventured into custom t-shirt production as a little side gig. In fact, I am now in the process of making over 400 shirts for my daughter's school. Whoa! So I will be pretty tied up for a while now. <br />
<br />
Hugs to all of you. I always love hearing from you!!Monique Griffithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12255052573751243644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261424996375194658.post-3808965570025402822013-10-17T12:43:00.000-07:002013-10-17T12:43:10.181-07:00NEW "Creepy" Halloween Layout. Eeeeek!!!<b>It's that time of year again. Ghosts and goblins, vampires and witches, tombstones and skeletons decorating our front lawns. I grew up not exactly going all out for Halloween, so I understand that not all of us celebrate the spooky side of this holiday. But now I'm making up for lost time, and having so much fun decorating the front of my house and getting ready for those trick-or-treaters. My neighborhood is SUCH a blast at Halloween, and I love taking my daughter around to see all of the elaborate set-ups and get too much candy. What are your Halloween traditions?</b>

<b>So here's my newest layout for you. Directions are available on my <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">Cricut Kits</a> page OR my new <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MoniqueGriffith">Etsy Store</a>! This layout was inspired by the "Creepy" side of this spooky holiday, and I pictured wandering through a graveyard on a dark, foggy Halloween night. This is not where I would want to get lost, that's for sure! Lead me back to the candy, please!</b>

<b>I do hope you all have had a chance to check out my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MoniqueGriffith">Etsy store</a>. I just started it last month, and it's really easy to use. Plus, I can easily change prices on some sets of directions to put some on sale for you. So at the very top, there's this new "Creepy" layout, but I'm also featuring a few other Halloween projects which I've marked down for a short time. So check it out! And I went through my nearly 70 projects and marked down some of the simpler, beginner level projects as well. I think you guys will like the Etsy store, as it's really easy to see everything. Let me know what you think!

<b>As you likely know by now, my directions are very thorough and include my Cricut Cut Chart which shows you exactly what you need to cut on your Expression machine, with all of the settings for each cut. Plus they're grouped by color so it's very efficient. There's also well-organized written instructions and plenty of color photographs. In addition, I'm starting to include more detailed paper information for you, and have also added a new Key# column on my 2 most recent direction sets so that you can find the correct key on your keypad overlay more quickly. I'm always trying to improve how I do things, so I hope that helps! Directions are $5, but don't forget that there are some at a reduced price right now!</b>

Just a quick announcement to let you all know that I have opened <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MoniqueGriffith">my store on Etsy</a> - hooray!!! And for a short time, I have featured 4 of my favorite projects at the very top of the store at $3, which is 40% off! Plus, there are 64 others to browse through as well. If you do ever use my Etsy store, I'd LOVE it if you can leave feedback so that others can get a sense of the quality. Oh, and I did list a few of the older, super simple projects at $2 just because they're geared more toward beginners. If you have any input for me or ideas on how to make my store better, please leave a comment here (I'll have to click to approve comments). I'm just learning about this Etsy thing, so I can use all the help I can get. Thanks, everyone!!<br />

Well, I hope you all are doing fantastic and starting to get some glorious Fall weather. My daughter just started 4th grade last week - how time flies!! And now with her back in school, I can't say that I'm sad to have a little extra scrapbooking time on my hands, hehe. </b><br />

<b>Well, here's a new layout for you. Directions are on our <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">Cricut Kits</a> page. I started this while on vacation in Oregon a few weeks ago, even though I had not planned on it. But I saw the CUTEST fall paper at a store up there, and then the wheels started turning. Sometimes you've gotta just go where the inspiration leads you, right? So the resulting layout is called <span id="goog_554840148"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/">"Fall Friends"<span id="goog_554840149"></span></a>, and it's everything that makes me feel warm and fuzzy about this gorgeous time of year: Apple trees, crunchy leaves, furry critters, pumpkins, and home sweet home. I don't know about you, but I have a ton of fall pictures, but usually find it difficult to put together a cute fall layout - maybe because I don't have a specifically fall cartridge. But as it turns out, I did some digging around and found plenty of perfect fall images on two of my very favorite carts - Create a Critter and Everyday Paper Dolls. </b><br />

<br />
<b>Now, before you freak out and run away screaming, let me tell you that yes, this IS a very detailed layout. BUT there isn't anything truly difficult about it. It just has a lot going on. So as long as you're a little patient, and promise not to hate me, you can do this layout just fine and impress your friends at the crops you go to! And believe me, these will be the best $5 directions you'll ever get. Truly, this would be a nightmare to scraplift because everything is at weird sizes due to how strangely these 2 cartridges are designed. For instance, that big old house is actually cut at 2 3/4". So don't waste truckloads of paper and 8 hours of your time re-cutting things - I've already done it for you! These directions are very, very thorough, have detailed paper info, my usual Cricut Cut Chart, and somewhere around 25 color photos, including lots of close-ups and some step-by-step pics.</b><br />

<br />
<b>Ok, let's talk about paper for a moment, shall we? Paper is a very tricky thing for me as a designer, and for you as a consumer. Paper is like clothing - it comes and goes fairly quickly in and out of stores. It's usually easier to find it online, but even then it will sometimes be elusive, even if it hasn't been out for very long. This new Fall Friends layout uses paper from Doodlebug that is very new, so that should help those of you who like to copy my designs to the last detail. </b><br />
<br />
<b>However, if you ever purchase directions from a while back, and can't find the exact paper - it's ok!! Find something kind of similar either in theme or in color scheme, and do your best to substitute. And as far as the solid cardstock goes, I mostly use Bo Bunny's double dot cardstock because it cuts like butter, and they have fantastic colors. However, you don't need to use the same stuff I use. If you don't have Bo Bunny readily available, you can just gather your patterned papers and take them into any store that sells any brand of cardstock. Then just find a bunch of solids that coordinate. You can use my directions as your guide to make sure that you get a dark brown, medium brown, dark green, medium green, etc. and it will work just beautifully.</b><br />

<br />
<b>So now that we've had our little heart-to-heart discussion, here's the deal. You can get the full directions for $5 for this Fall Friends layout and a bazillion of our other projects on the <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">Cricut Kits</a> page. All directions include Cricut Cut Chart which shows you line by line exactly what to cut on your machine, well-organized written instructions and plenty of color photographs. If you purchase the directions using PayPal, you'll soon get an email
with a link so you can automatically download the directions right
away. I'm not sure if Google Checkout is still working, as it is being
done away with at some point soon. But hey, nearly all of you seem to
prefer PayPal, so that shouldn't be an issue.</b><br />

However, as a favor to a very close friend of mine who has had a change in life circumstances, I am offering several of her kits here for sale. Originally, most were $25 + shipping. We'll sell them now for $25, but include free shipping in the United States only. Sorry, but no shipping outside of the US at this time. If you happen to be local to the Sacramento area, and want to pick up, just let me know. </span> </b><br />

<b><u>If you would like to purchase any of these kits</u> or if you have questions, please email me at <span style="color: #741b47;">moniquegriffith@yahoo.com</span>, and I can send you a PayPal invoice. As soon as payment is received, I'll ship your kit(s) within a day or two. If someone else has already claimed the kit, I'll let you know.</b></div>

<b><span style="color: #0c343d;">Ps. Be on the lookout for another post in the next day or two. I'll be posting my brand new Fall Friends layout, and I think it's safe to say that it's my most detailed design yet. </span></b>Monique Griffithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12255052573751243644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261424996375194658.post-896505274993051282013-08-17T15:17:00.000-07:002013-08-17T15:17:10.759-07:00New Jungle Fever Layout!Hello, friends and wild animal lovers! I hope you all are having a fun-filled summer. Our family has been super busy running around, and I even painted the inside of my house. I'd say it's time for a relaxing day at the zoo now. So here is my newest layout, <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">Jungle Fever</a>, and it would be perfect for pictures of your favorite zoo trip. It would also work great if you've been to Disney's Animal Kingdom or any other wild animal park. This is an intermediate level layout - not too simple, but nothing ridiculously hard, so just about anybody should be able to tame it.<br />

<b>Full directions to this layout (and a zillion more) are available on my <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">Cricut Kits</a> page for $5 each. </b>Directions include my Cricut Cut Chart, which shows you line by line exactly what you'll need to cut with 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, exact mat dimensions, and plenty of color photographs. Plus detailed paper information is also included. If you purchase the directions using PayPal, you'll soon get an email with a link so you can automatically download the directions right away. I'm not sure if Google Checkout is still working, as it is being done away with at some point soon. But hey, nearly all of you seem to prefer PayPal, so we should be fine.<br />

Beach + Disney = Happiness!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 <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">"Lazy Days"</a> 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.<br />

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.<br />

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!<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">"Disney Magic"</a> layout... (See below for more details.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
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 <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">"Frosty"</a> layout should get you started... (See below for more details.)<br />

LayoutAlrighty, 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 <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">Cricut Kits</a> 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.<br />

To get these directions (or choose from a zillion others), just pop over to our <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">Cricut Kits</a> page, and it's right at the top.

Google checkout is also available, but since I process those by hand, it may take upto a day to send you the directions.

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

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 <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">HERE</a>. 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). <br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">HERE</a> and get your favorites while they're on sale!Monique Griffithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12255052573751243644noreply@blogger.com879tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261424996375194658.post-28941491100144273152012-03-14T14:58:00.001-07:002012-03-14T15:00:47.243-07:00SOLD OUT - Can still get DirectionsSale 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!!<br />
<br />
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.Monique Griffithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12255052573751243644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261424996375194658.post-55497531417787101272012-03-13T22:01:00.000-07:002012-03-13T22:01:16.458-07:00MADNESS!!Hmmm, ok, I don't know why my blog looks like garbage. How strange - I'll have to look into that.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much, everyone, and I'll start getting them shipped out in the next couple of days.Monique Griffithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12255052573751243644noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261424996375194658.post-962270730112168972012-03-13T17:35:00.000-07:002012-03-13T17:35:03.739-07:00Ridiculous Clearance Sale Starts Now.Hi Everyone!! Long time, no blog! Well, everything is going just fine and dandy. I'm healthy and happy, and just ran a half marathon the other day. 13.1 miles, baby!! And since I have decided to focus on my health and my family, I have made the decision to "retire" from teaching and kit making. But not from crafting - I'll be getting back into scrapping for my own family soon. <br />
<br />
On that note, everything we've got left in stock is now on SALE. And I mean a really good sale. Kits that were originally $25-$30 are now $7-$12. There are about a dozen different designs on sale, and some of them are really low in quantities, so don't be too shocked if some of them sell out kinda quickly. Just click on the <a href="http://monkeydoodlecricut.blogspot.com/p/cricut-kits.html">Cricut Kits</a> page to check them out. Shipping is available only in the US for this event, as it is rather difficult and time-consuming to ship internationally (sorry!!). I'll start shipping the kits out in the next couple of days. <br />
<br />
Oh, and ALL directions are on SALE for $5 (originally $10) - even for the sold out kits, so now is a good time to get what you've been wanting. <br />
<br />
PayPal is preferred, but we can also do Google checkout. Hope you're all doing really well. Life is good!!Monique Griffithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12255052573751243644noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8261424996375194658.post-77205456374767982232011-11-11T21:16:00.000-08:002011-11-11T21:16:57.243-08:00Pack Your Bags Layout KitFall greetings, scrappy friends!

Becca here. Hope yall had a great weekend. It was a fun one for us over here. Nana Susan had herself birthday and we celebrated with cake, pizza, root bear floats, and presents! Yum! I made this Birthday Cake Card for her using my handy dandy Cricut, a few of my favorite carts, and my Cuttle Bug. I used <span style="font-style: italic;">Birthday Bash </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">A Summer in Paris</span>. Both are are really fun. </span><span style="color: #339999; font-weight: bold;">The solid card stock is from Bo Bunny, and the patterned paper's from My Mind's Eye (Quite Contrary line). </span><span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #33cc00;"><span style="color: #339999;">The cake was cut using A Summer In Paris cart and the "Happy Birthday" font was cut from Birthday Bash.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff6666;">The measurements are as follows:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Cake - 3 1/4"</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Font - 2"</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Polka Dot Mat - 4" x 5 1/2"</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Green Mat - 4 1/2 x 5 3/4"</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Card - 6 1/2" x 10" (fold in half)</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Ribbon - 5 1/2"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #339999; font-weight: bold;">I cut (2) cakes for this card so I could use one to create a shadow by "offsetting it". Before attaching the cakes together I ran it through my Cuttle Bug using a "swirly" type embossing folder. Any design will work. After chalking it with purple chalk ink I layered the cakes and attached it to the card with pop dots. After cutting the mats I chalked all sides with brown chalk ink. I love what a little chalk can do. It just makes it pop! Then I layered my pink ribbon and my green ribbon and attached it using basic adhesive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">To complete this card you will need:</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;"><br />
Birthday Bash cart</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Summer in Paris cart</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Cuttle Bug folder (any"Swirly" shape)</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Green and pink ribbon</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Pop Dots</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Basic tools and adhesive</span><br />
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Purple and brown chalk ink</span><br />

Ok, we all know that shoe-themed cards are very popular (who doesn't love a cute pair of shoes, right?), but instead of the usual high-heeled shoe design, I went with a running shoe on this card. My very good friend Stephanie had a birthday on Monday, and I'd been wanting to make her this card because she was really hoping to get $ toward a new pair of running shoes for her birthday.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7XVAcNefXsUvUzxnCXu5wsZvr3TL1vuSjKlFA6mX6Kcf5mTEiIqw_pLWfTRTbgI0XaA1VlBK_sSSQtlAjXw_bSknLL9-zueb36drhyN_H4aVRPQ7GxHOZqRQNuoHpyqe33hxriYWCfw/s1600/Shoe+Card2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7XVAcNefXsUvUzxnCXu5wsZvr3TL1vuSjKlFA6mX6Kcf5mTEiIqw_pLWfTRTbgI0XaA1VlBK_sSSQtlAjXw_bSknLL9-zueb36drhyN_H4aVRPQ7GxHOZqRQNuoHpyqe33hxriYWCfw/s400/Shoe+Card2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
The running shoe was cut at 3" from the Pink Journey cartridge. However, the cut on the cartridge has no layers or shadow or anything. So I first cut it out in hot pink, trimmed off the shoelace part of the image, and then attached the shoe to solid white cardstock. I then hand-trimmed the white cardstock, essentially creating a 1/8" shadow around the shoe. Then I cut the shoe again, but this time in black. Using scissors, I trimmed away the sole of the shoe, and attached it to the pink shoe. I also saved the little "hole" pieces that you'd normally throw away, and I just glued them inside the spaces in the pink shoe. The cool skull image was cut from Indie art at 1". Had to go with skulls for Steph! Finally, I used my Crop-a-Dile to punch holes in the shoe, and then threaded white ribbon through the holes and tied a bow. The sentiment was just hand-written with a silver Signo pen.<br />

Stephanie and I and our friend Erin are doing triathlon training with a group, including coaches. We meet 3 times per week for killer workouts all around town, plus do workouts on our own an additional 3 days/week. We've been working on swimming, biking, and running, and are planning to compete in the Golden State Triathlon in Sacramento on October 9th. It'll be a 1/2 mile swim (harder than it sounds!), 15 mile bike ride, and 3 mile run. This is quite a stretch for me as I only started exercising about 3 months ago after almost a year of cancer treatments, and even before that I wasn't doing anything physical, so I was in BAD shape!!! But I have come really far with training. I can now swim more than the needed 1/2 mile in a super cold lake (though slowly), I'm decent at biking, and had 1 stretch of 23 miles, and I'm even getting better at running. I think I might be able to run my first continuous mile very soon - I'm getting close, and have NEVER done that in my whole life. It's amazing what you can accomplish with hard work, isn't it? So that's a big reason that I've fallen a bit behind with blog posting and whatnot. I've really been focusing on my health. Oh, and I've also dropped about 30 pounds in the past 9-12 months - woohoo! All of my clothes are getting too big! It's an empowering feeling to be somewhat back in charge of my own body, and to know that I'm not too old to get in shape and accomplish something as crazy as a triathlon. And that goes for the rest of you too. It's never too late to get off that couch!<br />

<b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Hi everyone! It's Becca and I'm here to share this cute little card with you that I made using the Create a Critter cartridge. I just LOVE this cart! This "Wild" card can be used for any occasion. Hence, the "wild card". I used it as a birthday card for my father-in-law and he loved it. The solid card stock is from Bo Bunny. One of my favorites for sure. The patterned paper's from Basic Grey. The measurements are as follows:</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><br />

Monique here. Thought I'd check in and say hi and post a little something just for fun. Around here, September is birthday season. My little Emily just turned 7 on September 1st, and she wanted a Disney Pluto birthday party. Umm, yeah, just try looking around the internet to see how much Pluto birthday stuff is out there. VERY little!! Good thing my trusty Cricut is friends with the Disney gang. We whipped up this snazzy banner in no time, and it was just the perfect touch for the party. It was kind of a group effort, actually. I designed it, Wendy cut it out, I assembled it, and then Nana Susan helped with the flower placement. It takes a village sometimes.<br />

We used Bo Bunny cardstock, of course (yum!). The banner pieces were cut from the Birthday Bash cart using Fit to Page, so they'd be max size. The font was also Birthday Bash. And of course, Pluto and the dog house were from Mickey and Friends. I strung it together with green ribbon, and added a whole bunch of silk flowers and buttons to girly it up a bit. We had such a fun birthday party here with Emily and 25 of her closest friends playing party games and eating birthday cupcakes. I love my girl!!<br />
