My Cricut Craft Room 100 Cart Blog Hop



Good Morning! I hope all of you will have a FABULOUS Saturday.
Welcome to the FUN & FABULOUS 100 Cart Blog Hop by My Cricut Craft Room.
You should have arrived from the fabulous Alishia's Blog, if not and you would like to start from the beginning 
please start at Erica's Blog.  You do NOT want to miss out on the fun! Be sure to leave comments along the way, you never know when the FAB host might choose your comment for a win!

Today I worked with the AWESOME cartridge Word Collage..

I attempted to make wall decor for my DD
since her room is painted pink and she is not into nursery rhymes
I opted for the Paris, Rome, London, Milan Collage.
I started by cutting the collage out on contact paper (I don't have any vinyl)
I cut it at fit to page 10.5x10.5
I then placed it on the canvas
and painted the canvas hot pink
I let that dry and then painted it black instead
I didn't want to do pink on pink
Then I peeled the letters off and some of the paint bled underneath
so I brushed lightly pink all over the canvas in spots then used a paper towel  to give it texture
then I painted over the canvas with a glitter paint

**That is why the L is flood filled with pink and the other letters have some pink**
I do like the effect though

My next project was created using the same cartridge but I used the Chomas Gel Pens and Holder 
to create a different look.
 I used the Boom Pow Word Collage
perfect for a boy/male/superhero card
This is it simple in black ink and framed

I used topic  copic markers to color in some of the words, I wanted to give it an 
unfinished look.


My Dad Hero, I thought fit pretty well as the sentiment This was a dollar stamp from Michaels
I actually made this card out of vellum.

I started by printing a 12x12 sheet of White Daisy Cardstock (CTMH)
with the saying Boom Pow at 3x5 and autofilled
then I cut it down to fit the frame and the card front

Thanks for hopping along. Be sure to come back tomorrow for day 2 and a whole new line up!
Start at Erica's Blog on Sunday.

Watermarks For Sale

Good Evening everyone! I love my Mac and I love making new things and trying things out. I have been into graphics and designs since sig tags were EXTREMELY popular 8-9 years ago.

I have been making watermarks for people the past couple of months so I have decided to sell them for $2 each.
If you are looking for a watermark for your photos, creations etc to post on your blog/facebook and or message board you belong to I can help you out.

 No shipping charge, no tax, just $2! Click on the picture for a larger, clearer view of them. If you are interested you can add as many to your cart as you'd like by clicking the add to cart button.









You can save the above files as a png file and try them out on your photos.




**See a design you like but want it to say "created by" or something similar.  No problem, just add the "created by," "design by" or whatever to the beginning of your name and I'll add it in! 


**Please note, design may change slightly to accommodate long names  or website addresses.

Using Your New Watermark

I use Photoshop Elements to edit my photos, so my instructions will be geared towards Photoshop applications. However, your watermark has been saved as a PNG file which will allow you to use it with all editing software. If for some reason you are having trouble adding your watermark to your photo, please email me and I can help.

In your editing program, open your photo and edit it (crop, brighten, sharpen, etc.)
Open your watermark. It is on a transparent (checkerboard) background, so it will be difficult to see until it’s placed onto the photo.

Your editing program should have something displaying Layers. In Photoshop it is on the right hand side at the bottom. Select your watermark and you should see a thumbnail image of it in the Layers bin. Click and drag the watermark from the Layers bin directly onto your photo. You should see the watermark clearly now and you can now resize it to fit your photo correctly. Resizing it from the corners of the selection box will allow you to keep its proportions intact.
You can now save your photo as a JPG image for your blog or shop.
If you don't have a photo editing program that allows you to layer photos, you can download a free program called GIMP, here



Please let me know what you think - I really would appreciate the feedback. As I create additional watermarks, I'll post it on the blog and add the information on this post.
