When I came up with this theme I knew exactly what I wanted to create for you!
This was the first year my oldest (who is a Senior) attended Homecoming and he went with his brother (the freshman) and their gorgeous dates.

This SVG file was perfect for showcasing these special photos.

I didn't have the perfect paper for my photo mats. I compromised by using Washi tape to create the second color on my double mat. I am so glad I did. I love it!

I used my stylus tool to round the flower petals and give them some dimension and added some bling in the centers. The pink touch of the flowers blends in perfectly with my son's tie and his date's dress.

I love that this is girly and formal but yet I still think it has a masculine touch to it too because of the black and grays and that awesome background paper. 

Hope you enjoyed my project and my handsome young men!!

 Up next is my sweet friend Pam.

DT Dreaming Tree Love Project

Pin It Today is my day to share something fun with all of you! My project is a twist on the Dreaming Tree Valentine Heart Box. Dreaming Tree is our sponsor this month. Please check out all the wonderful SVG cutting files Dreaming Tree has to offer.

I took the heart from the box and used it in my scrapbooking layout. 

 This is a 12x12 layout. The paper lines I used are Lost & Found and Teresa Collins My Story. 
I hope my example of a different way to use parts of the 3-D file will inspire you to get out there and get crafty!

Ladybug Luncheon Decor- Miss Kate Cuttables

Pin It

Hello my crafty friends!!

It's my day to post with  Miss Kate Cuttables! I am getting ready to head to Florida for an Annual Quilter's Luncheon. I was asked to help decorate a few of the tables so of course I used some of Miss Kate Cuttables' darling SVG files!!

But first, did you know that Miss Kate Cuttables gives away a free file everyday?

YES, absolutely FREE. So what are you waiting for, head over there and get your free file now!!

Click HERE!!

For my project I used the Ladybug file.

The table is going to be super cute decorated with two flower pots as centerpieces. And my adorable ladybugs on sticks will be the center stars!

Each guest also receives a party favor. So I created these adorable tea light candles for each person. The tag is special because, using my Cricut and Miss Kate Cuttables' font Tall & Skinny, I was able to write the theme of the event and the date. Did you know that MKC fonts work perfectly with your Cricut Explore and the pen feature? No outlines here! I love it!!

I can't thank you enough for checking out my project. It means the world to me and I hope you truly enjoyed it. May it inspire you to create something wonderful!   Scrappy Hugs!

Don't forget the new challenge!! You could win $50 to spend at Dreaming Tree!!

Question of the Week

Pin It

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us here at Connie Can Crop!!



Remember.. I want you to answer the question in the comment section too!

AND

if  you have a question to ask for an upcoming week add that in the comments too, if you ask a question and I use it you will win a prize!!

This week I asked the question...  I want to know...

Do you ever recycle or repurpose cards you received?

Connie- I save many of my cards I get that are handmade. I like to use them in my layouts. I also think it is cool to pass them on to others so they may enjoy their beauty. Do you do that? Do you think it is wrong to send someone else's card to another person? I always wonder if I am breaking a crafting code of ethics. I'd love to know.

Daphne-  I do repurpose the front of Christmas cards sometimes. But never any others.

Angela- All the time. I don't always have a card I need on hand so I use some that I've gotten from different swaps I've been in or have received. My grandmother taught me that little one smile emoticon just cut the top off the folded card and write on the back of it!

 smile emoticon

Veronica- Only the ones I had made and don't really like. Like my first attend to make them with my cricut.

Kim-  Never. There are some I would llike to recycle and I do keep them for that purpose, but forget I have them when it comes time to make a new card.

ok, It's your turn to answer!!

don't forget this month's fun challenge!!
