MCCR September 100 cartridge Blog Hop

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room's

100 Cartridge Blog Hop day ONE!

    You should have  started at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com  if  not you will want to go there to start at the beginning. Collectively the design team uses over 100 different Cricut Cartridges in their projects during the two days of this hop.   You won't want to miss a one!

Today I want to share with you the projects I made using the three cartridges...Paper Doll Dress Up, Straight From the Nest, and 3 Birds On Parade.  What I decided to make was some little mini albums which are made out of  ONE sheet of 12x12 paper. The first one I made I used the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge as seen below.

                                       
Each page has a pocket for which you can put momentos or small pictures or tags.  For a tutorial on how to fold the album from a 12x12 piece of paper go here .
I used the papers from Teresa Collins, It was pretty as well as sturdy and would hold up as an album. I cut the little girl at 3 and 1/2 inches, and added some flowers at the corner with a little rose.  On the inside a I added a littl bit of bling as well from some flower stickers with rhinestones I got from a friend. The mini is folded in such a way that each page has a little pocket, in which you could put little tags, pictures or tiny keepsakes:))

Next I did another 12X12 single sheet mini with the 3 Birds on Parade cartridge.  I cut out the Wizard Bird at 3 and 1/2 inches. I used a sheet from Echo Park Springtime collection.

And Lastly, I made one with the Straight from the Nest cartridge. I used a 12x12 sheet of Close To My Heart paper, from the Sonoma collection.  I added some paper flowers and a few faux pearls.  As you may have noticed on each one I have a piece of paper with velcro dots as the closure for the minis.   I used the red tacky tape to hold the strip on from the back.

All the cuts for the album came from the SFTN cartridge.  I used the corner tags on a few of the pages and cut featers and leaves and i believe there is a nest too, to kind of go with the theme feathered friends:))

Other supplies used in making the minis is:

atg gun

Stickles

fabritac

white gel pen

Tim Holtz Walnut stain

corner rounder

corner punch

MS score board

paper trimmer

Cricut

I want to apologize for some of the pictures, I tried Picmonkey for the first time to edit my pics, and unfortunately the program gave me a hard time, but I shall not give up trying:)

I hope you enjoyed my projects today!
