Theme Day Thursday- My Cricut Craft Room

Pin It

If you have just started following my blog I would like to tell you about Theme Day Thursday and Cartridge exploration. Each day of the week, we make items with either a challenge, theme or a cartridge. Today's theme is Winter Sports.

For more great Sports projects please check out

My Cricut Craft Room.

I don't have photos of anything sport related to crop at the moment so I decided to make a blank layout and make it my January Kit of the month. Below is the base of the layout with all of the mats attached. I kept it simple by using bazzill cardstock only.

For the left side of the layout I used Sports Mania to cut all my cricut images. The football is cut at 2", the cleat is cut at 2.5", the goal post is cut at 2.5" but I had to trim the bottom of the post off a hair. The helmet is cut at 2" and my title Football is Life is cut at 2.7". I also used the EK Success postage stamp border punch for the yellow strips and attached them with square brads.

For the right side of this 2 pager I also used images from Sports Mania. I cut the football player out at 5" tall and cut the Touch Down phrase at 2". I added a journal bow in the top right corner and used the border punch to accent it.

And that's it..the cool thing about this layout is you can change the yellow cardstock to any color of your favorite team. Just in time for Super Bowl pics. Thanks for visiting my blog...please be sure to come back again. I love new friends.

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop

You should have come here from Erica's blog-http://ericasprojects.blogspot.com . If not, you will want to start at the beginning at http://MyCricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

My first project features Indie Art and Black Letter. It's a cool duct tape wallet for my son. Here are the pieces of duct tape fabric I made.

 Now I start to piece the duct tape fabric together. On the left side there are 3 pockets for cards and on the right side the clear I.D. pocket and hidden pocket. And of course don't forget the dollar bill pocket.

 I add the silver duct tape to create a nice border around the edges and use Cricut Vinyl to cut out the desired images I wish to use.

My son's initials are cut out at 3 inches using Blackletter. 

 And my son chose the exploding bomb from Indie Art for his wallet front. I cut it out at 3 inches as well and used silver for the shadow feature and black for the regular feature. He loved it...yay.

My next creation would make any sports coach whistle for joy. It's an altered clipboard. I started out with a 9x12 clipboard and the background paper "Cody Benchwarmer"by Love Elsie.

 Using Locker Talk, I cut a banner at 3 1/2 inches tall. I added #1 from Locker Talk to it and also Added a star from the Old West cartridge. I cut the star out of yellow cardstock at 3 1/2 inches and the shadow for the star out of white cardtsock at 3 3/4 inches.

For Coach I used the Sports Mania Cricut Cartridge and cut the frame in blue at 3 1/2 inches and then cut the whistle out in brown and yellow and the word coach out in red and pieced them all together.

I sealed the diecuts and board with Modge Podge and added some colorful ribbons to the top along with some buttons for added decor. I hope you enjoy my finished project.
