Crafting Creations by Amanda!

Welcome!

YES! You are the right page! I just have a new name! :) After realizing that I do more than just scrapbooking, I've decided to change the name and will be changing the look.. I'd do a whole new blog but I'd hate to have to start all over. Here you will find scrapbooking ideas. There's a ton of older posts that used the Cricut, but lately I haven't been using it much and well, my sewing machine is gaining more miles by the day.

$9.99 12x12 Stack's at J's Online!

WOW O WOW!
Too many cute papers to choose from.. and So little moola to get them! LOL!
J's Online has the NEW Stacks - and they are only $9.99 each!! WOWZER! That's one heck of a deal!
Here's the ones that I am looking at..

Whimsy.. I think this one would be GREAT for cards!!

Latte Cardstock - My favorite colors, all in ONE stack! Love the Greens, purples, Blues and Browns! This one is sure to be a winnerAnd, you can't have the cardstock without the patterned cardstock.. I think they will go perfect with the solids!

And then.. I've been waiting for a Kitchen themed paper stack! And they now make one - Nana's Kitchen. I think this would be perfect for those recipes pages! So.. I've been going back and forth on these.. and I think.. that I will order all but the Kitchen one.. why? I don't make too many recipe pages.. so I think I'll hold off on this one.. and get it next time!

For those that are thinking of buying.. here's their site - JOANN'S AND.. here's a code for FREE SHIPPING over $25! EML030 So.. for only $29.97, I am getting 3 stacks.. that's a savings of $30 Plus the $6.95 for shipping! What a great deal :)

I've been Tagged!

Thanks to Pam! I've been tagged. Be sure to check out her blog as she remodels her craft room! I love the paints that she picked out and I can't wait to see the final result!

Here's the directions : you are to go to your pictures and pick the 6th folder and then the 6th picture in that folder. Post it and explain what it is all about.
My 6th folder says "Cricut Carts"... hmm.. this will be interesting..
and the 6th picture in it is ::

This is the small sample view of Base Camp. And now... I have to explain it.. hmm.. well.. OH, I remember! When I made the spreadsheets / PDF files of the carts, I used these small samples to show a picture of the cart. These sheets need to be updated now with the new carts, and now I am reminded that I should do that before even more carts are released!

So.. Now I am going to Tag 6 other blogs that I visit - and see what is hiding in their 6th, 6th!
I am tagging.. Christina April Jill Jenn M Julia Leah

PaperDoll Overlays

Hopefully this will be helpful to someone!

This is a PDF file of all the overlays for Paper Dolls. I printed it out for a friend, and she loves it, as she does not have DS to view the cart.

**NOTE** overlays on the file are upsidedown the will however, print out fine as you can turn the paper once it printed.

DOWNLOAD PAPER DOLL OVERLAYS

For all your Cooling Needs!

And here, are not one.. not two.. but THREE different Refrigerators!

How cool is that?!

There's the Side By Side.. and the Traditional Top Freezer... and then the French Door Design. You can put the water in the door too if you'd like.. or leave it out.. either or!

This ONE cut file, will cut ALL THREE :) and this was all done with George!

I DO take requests on (major) appliances.. I will be making a Double Oven (Gemini) here soon, and wall ovens too. Just leave a comment if there is something that you would like to see!
