Cricut Cartridges

Cricut Cartridge Crazy! Jo keeps raking in more and more Cricut cartridges for us to use. If you are a daily or annual member, you can use the cartridges any time FREE. Bring your own Cricut and just enjoy. There are over 70 cartridges and counting.

And guess what! Jo and her team have also recently discovered a new website -- cricutsearch.com. This site lets you search for images you want to use. How wonderful is that? For example, we were looking for a bicycle. Typed in the word bicycle and sure enough, we had the cartridges and could cut out our bicycle. You can do so much. ~Come play with us~

Shadow Box

The Shadow Box! NEW at Scrap it PLUS! Come on in and see Jo's wonderful creation she did with shadow boxes. It is on display! Jo's moto is "There are NO mistakes, just a chance for CREATIVITY!" Jo tells us that while she was making Noah's 1st birthday shadow box she had cut the first picture to small. Not a big deal she says. I will just take the picture and make his name. As you can see below. Then she notices where are the balloons? They are cut out of the picture. So she remembers she has some wonderful balloon cut outs she can use. She ties some strings and glosses them up. Walla! Perfect. What great ideas we can share with each other at Scrap it PLUS.

Wall Hangings

Are you wondering why there is a PLUS in Scrap It PLUS? The PLUS is because when you join our playground you are always thinking outside the box! Just as Vonda is doing here! She brought her daughter, Maddy, down with to old paintings from Goodwill. The two of them covered the paintings with designs of their own using the Cricut Expression, Sizzix dies cuts, Tim Holtz die cuts, and their own IMAGINATION! Vonda recently joined her daughter, Maddy, as a member of Scrap it PLUS. So, come on down to see her wall hanging on display and create something too.

Marta and her 8 Godchildren

Wow!, Wow! Wow! What a story. Marta, who has 8 Godchildren, visited our Scrap It PLUS "playground" last weekend. She came to play with us. We learned Marta has a yearly tradition. She gives her godchildren a different book on their aniversary of their baptism along with an ornament. The ornaments go with the book she chooses. Marta told us she wants to learn something new every time she makes her yearly ornament. So, this year, she came to Scrap It Plus and learned to use the Cricut die cutting machine. Maybe she will soon decide to "swarm" on down with us carrying her very own Cricut like many of our other members. All the possiblity at Scrap it Plus.

Laced Album again

Our teens are showing us up. Mattie Smith has changed her laced album to represent her cat. Ahsley from Alabama was visiting her great grandmother. She started scrapbooking one month
ago. After 1 hour of instruction, I left her to her creativity. Here is her finished book. She and her
17 year old boyfriend are celebrating their 1 year anniversary of being "BEST FRIENDS".

Friends, Dream Albums

Easily one of the most fun classes from "Scrap it PLUS" was our "Friends Album" class. I'll bet there is going to be quite a few who will use the albums as their Christmas presents. Christmas is right around the corner. Make sure you come in and pick up some albums you can make. The cost is $14.95 per album. You can change the letters and have it read FAMILY, Cat, Dog -- any name you want. Just get some chip board and cut out the letters.
