This Holiday Season I received an Original Chic Pink Flirty Apron (no more glitter all over my shirt), the Paisley Cricut Cartridge, a 18x24 Fiskars Self-Healing Cutting Mat (no more combining mats to make sure I don't cut off the mat), a Zutter Bind-It-All V2.0 and Zutter DreamKuts, Sixxix Texture Boutique, and a Xyron 250.
To create this I used a set of Bo Bunny Binder Chipboard Refill Pages, a variety of paper lines including Bo Bunny, AC, Bazzill, and generic cardstock for the background and page pieces. On one side of the Calendar are the months January-June, the other side shows July-December. For the actual calendar cutouts I used my Cricut Expression and the Designer Calendar Cartridge. It is my first attempt at a Calendar and I'm satisfied with it. My parents were already putting in their orders when I was on February. It was a bit crazy trying to finish it before January 1, 2010.
A little teasers for now:
This project was created with a Bo Bunny Class Kit.
Included with the kit was:
* 1 set of Bo Bunny Binder Chipboard Refill Pages
* A set of the Kitchen Spice Paper Collection
I also purchased coordinating stickers and embelishments.
This was actually my 2nd project I began working on but it took a bit longer than some of the others because I needed to have my boyfriend out of our shared office so I could complete it (it was a gift for him).
Now he just needs to add in his favorite recipes!
During my Holiday Break I decided to update my Scap-area. Since Santa brought my daughter a new desk that I was able to move into her room, I was able to grow a bit more in my shared Scraproom without having to nicely kick out my boyfriend!
After much work and frustration (on my boyfriends part) this is how my Scraproom ended up:

When I purchased my Cricut Expression it included a few sets of markers and at first I thought you could use them to color in the cuts - guess I shuld have read sooner.
After learning how to actually use them I decided to try it out. I snapped a couple photos when I was making Holiday Tags with one of the new Cricut Mini Carts.
Here is the sheet of tags with the outline completed:
I finally finished a full book - well minus the pictures and filled in journal spots. Anyway, I created this for Father's Day 2010, I plan to give it to my Dad.
I'm still learning techniques and such on my own so I enjoy starting out with project kits in order to get a feel for everything scrapbook related. For this book I used a Bo Bunny DAD Class Kit that I purchased on eBay. It included a variety of Bo Bunny items that coordinated perfectly. The Class Kit only provided ideas for the DAD portion of the book but left out the last part of the book that didn't include any letter but just a blank chipboard page. I decided to try being crafty on my own and create the final page so there would be more room for photos or other memorbilia.
I'll update this post once I add in the photos of other items so you can see the complete finished product.
Here is the book thus far:
Look! Since I'm a newbie to crafting I am quite pleased that I finally finished my first few cards. I am pretty happy with these 4 cards. I actually made about 20 cards and only ended up satisfied with 4 of them. Ugh! At least now I have something to get me going.
The inside and back of the cards are pretty much all the same minus some color variation.
