Life’s a Party Video Series

Life’s A Party #4

February 18, 2011

Hi Everyone,
Today we are finishing up the Life’s A Party Series. I know, I know it went by fast, but I’m happy to report I have 90% of the supplies I need made for Ethan’s party done. I still can’t believe he will be 9 next weekend.

I had a lot of requests as to what the images where under the phrase section on the first few pages of the manual. They are table decorations, but I think you really need to use a heavy cardstock so they stand. You’ll see at the end of this video what I mean. Speaking of video….This is a really short short short video.

So what do we all have planned this long weekend? Today we are going to enjoy 60 degree weather. Maybe some of these ice mounds will start to melt :0)
Have a great day and a fabulous weekend.

Life’s a Party Episode #3

February 16, 2011

Happy Wednesday,

WOW this week is just zooming by.

We’re working on our 3rd video for the Life’s a Party cartridge and we’ll be making the really cool map on page 44 of the manual. I had some technical difficulties when I was filming the first 1/2 of the video and it wasn’t until I edited the video late last night that I notice what I did….Yep I was totally off screen, but only at first…lol

So here is our video for today. I think the map is going to make an awesome door hanging for Ethan’s party and I can then use it later in a layout. I’m thinking about adding ETHAN’S on a separate piece of decorated chipboard and then hanging the map off that to put on the door. This was it would say Ethan’s Pirate Party…ARRR matey ye know what I mean...lol I couldn’t resist….

The Series:
Video #1
Video #2

I should have one more video for this series at the end of the week. Have a great day…

I have to be honest, this cartridge was in and out of my shopping cart when I was ordering it. Now that I’m playing with it, I’m loving it 🙂

Here’s #2 in the series…

and of course here’s a picture…

Ethan really wants you all to decide cap or no cap for the skull and cross bones?

Life’s a Party Episode #1

February 7, 2011

Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone had a nice weekend? It was nice and relaxing at our house. Saturday we went out eat and Sunday I had a little crafty party here with a friend and my mom. It was a nice relaxing weekend.

Here is the first Episode in the Life’s a Party Cricut cartridge series. Ethan will be 9 at the end of Feb. and he loved so many of the cuts on this cartridge that he went with a pirate theme for his party. Figured since I was going to be working with this cartridge for the party and wanted to get a head start on decorations, invites, and party favors that we can do this cartridge as the series. There are so many awesome shaped cards on this cartridge. I hope you enjoy the series…

Have a great Monday and
Happy Crafting,
