The Creative Stamper Spot: Cricut Imagine Hopscotch

HI everyone! Well we are on vacation this week to the great state of Michigan (where I'm originally from) in the Upper Peninsula. I'm from Southwest Michigan and I haven't been up here since I was 4. I have been looking forward to this trip for forever. We are with lots of family and having a blast!

Anyway, onto my project this week. The challenge over at Cooking with Cricut is to create anything school related. I usually create my August or my September calendar page school themed depending on when the kids go back. This year St. Isidore starts Aug 22nd so the August page it is! I am really looking forward to this school year and the kids are super excited! My oldest will be in 1st grade and going all day and my youngest will be in 4 day preschool in the afternoon. It is going to be so strange having them both gone in the afternoon but I know they will be learning so much!

Here is my project. I used many, many cartridges for this one. I first printed out some paper on my Imagine. I knew I absolutely wanted to use a lined paper of some sort to go with the school theme so I printed that out from the Imagine More Cards cartridge. I then printed out an ABC paper from Imagine Hopscotch and then some striped paper to make my banner. I used the Imagine Enjoy the Seasons for the apples, Mickey Font for the word "August", and Create a Critter for the cute little worm.

If you want to play along with us in this challenge, go to Cooking with Cricut and link up your project! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Ever since I saw someone selling a cute lollipop holder die cut I knew that I could make one of those with my Cricut. I thought Valentine's Day would be the perfect time to try it out. Ava (my Kindergartner) and I discussed what we should make and she agreed this would be a good one for her to give to her classmates. I did two designs and this is what she decided on. Her one real request was that she really wanted a purplish-pinkish heart in the middle, so we made sure to do that.

I made this solely with my Cricut Imagine using Cricut Craft Room Basics and the Hopscotch Imagine cartridge for the pattern and pink color.

I took two hearts and welded them together with a rectangle in the middle. I filled them in with a pattern from Hopscotch and cut and printed them with my Imagine. I then cut out two more hearts for the center from the Craft Room Basics as well. Here are how my hearts looked welded with the rectangle.
