Create It With: Cricut Design Space



Marvel Avengers Logo Card

The Marvel Avengers Logo card is a US Standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch card.  The card is black and white with Recollections cardstock. The card based is made with Neenah 100lb cardstock from an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet.  The white Neenah cardstock was cut in half at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches and then scored at 4 1/4 inches.  Art Glitter Glue was used to attach all of the pieces together.  

Cricut Design Space was used to create the logo and cut out the black circle.  The Cricut Maker die cutter machine cut both pieces.  Below is a video showing how the logo was created in Design Space and then assembled. 


Happy Creating!

Happy New Year's Eve 2018



Journal Walk Through and 1st YouTube Video


Hello everyone, I hope your 2018 was a crafty success.  I managed to squeak in one of my goals of 2018 before the ball dropped!  I created and uploaded my first YouTube Video.  It is a walk through of my December Daily Journal for 2018. 

The journal is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" with a 1" spine.  The flaps were created with index cards and are mostly 3x4", but there are a few that are 2 1/2 x 3 1/2".  I used index cards because I wanted the lines  on the back, to make it easier to write on through out the month.  I did find that having the flaps already attached in the album made it a little tricky to write on sometimes. 

I started making this album in 2015.  All of the supplies I used where purchased in 2015.  The paper packs are My Minds Eye Vintage Christmas, and Lost and Found Christmas.  The number stickers where also by My Minds Eye Lost and Found Christmas collection. I only wrote in it for the first 5 days of that year.  I love the paper so much though, that I decided to take it out and finish it in 2018.  I did add a few 3x4 journaling cards for the days that I had already written on the flaps back in 2015. It is never to late to finish that project.  I love how this album came out.  I have written in it everyday for December 2018.  There is still room in it for me to add some pictures. 




Happy Crafting in 2019!
