Mother's Day Exploding Box

I made this for my mother for Mother’s Day. I think she didn’t know what it was at first, but once I told her it was like a mini album and that she could add pictures in it or add journal tags with special memories she really liked it. I do hope she will use it. I spent a lot of hours on it J. I used SEI’s Jocelyn paper pack and SU! Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise and Certainly Celery to make the box and all the embellies in it. I loved using a paper pack to make this…it made it soooooo easy!!! Not only that, the SEI paper cuts sooooo well with the Cricut...there was no tearing, no skipping, no snags and it cut all the way through the first time; it was truly like cutting butter!  I will warn you to take care when scoring their glittered papers though; I actually scored right through one of the pages.  I used Tags Bags Boxes and More, Calligraphy Collection, Fabulous Finds, and Sweethearts for all the envelopes.

My blinged out BUG!!



So, I was on the Cricut message boards New Years Eve just browsing when I saw a post "I double dare you...". Well, who can turn away from a double dare?! Well, the challenge was to decorate (I would rather call it bling) your Cricut, aka Bug. Well! I LOVED the idea. As most of you know, my screen name is scubascrapper so I had to come up with something that would go with me and my personality. My two favorite hobbies are scrapping (of the paper kind, not the fighting kind, LOL) and diving, so I decided I needed a "diving bug". I designed this cute little guy on my Gypsy using GBS, LL, LAB and FF and cut him out of green vinyl and then brown for the layers. I blinged him out with some rhinestones (eyes) and stickles (bubbles, antenna, and mask). I used AMU for my name. I used three layers on the name, not sure if you can see that well, but I tried to get a close up... my shadow blackout layer is pink, then I did the shadow layer in brown and I used green for the internal pieces of the outline feature.

I hope you like it! Maybe you should consider blinging your bug :)!


OK, OK, I know that snorkeling and scuba diving are different, but do you know how hard it would've been to make a tank and a regulator?! I think this is just giving everyone the basic idea...LOL! It really doesn't matter as long as your bubbles go up, so....BUBBLES UP!
