I named myself The Crafting Professor, since I'm a crafter, and I'm a college professor. I went through many, many years of graduate school, and the best source of relaxation and stress relief was being in my craft room or going to a local crop. Back then, I never told anyone that I was a full-time graduate student. I was waiting for the day I would scrapbook my graduation page. Now, I run the ScrapbookerPhD challenge blog (http://scrapbookerphd.blogspot.com), and am bringing my passion for crafting and teaching together. But here, at The Crafting Professor, I'm just sharing my work with like-minded crafters from all over the world.

Dog Gone Good

I'm known as the card maker among friends, as you are too. 

In my sports world of canine agility, I make the cards when someone earns their Master Agility Championship, the highest title you can earn in the sport. I was making cards for my close friends when they finished their Championship, and word spread as groups of friends signed each card. 

Now, when someone earns their Championship, I get an email asking for a card, and I alway oblige. 

Here is my latest card. 
"Dog Gone Good" is a Cricut cut from the Just Because Cards cartridge. (I have had this cartridge for years and hardly use it, but I found this sentiment when I searched in Design Space). 

The robot dog is a Cricut cut from the Robotz cartridge.

And the "congratulations" sentiment I made using the writing function on the Cricut Explore.

Out at Sea

Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!



Challenge #220 Wet and Wild

This Weeks Sponsor
Winner will receive 3 Digis
~This Weeks Challenge~
Wet and Wild
Create a project related to water

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.


For my project, I decided to recap one of my favorite vacations. My husband and I were in the Caribbean under the warm sun. We took a short boat ride to a private island for sun and sand and surf. Then it was off to scuba dive through coral and then off to swim with dolphins. I captured each of these elements with this box card. 



The clouds and the sun are from PPnB Designs (this is a free cut file). The boat was cut from the cartridge, Just Because Cards. I used the patterned paper from the Celebration Stack by DCWV for the sails. The island was cut from the cartridge Pack Your Bags. I used a subtle patterned paper on the tree. It is by Crate Paper and has leaves on it. Finally, the dolphin is from the Cricut set Whales and Dolphins.

What a Pear!



It's time to share a project for Exploring Cricut and More. This time, I decided I wanted to go clean and simple. I wanted to make a card for my husband. No special occasion, a "just because" card. So I turned to my Cardz TV stamp set, Garden Greetings. My favorite saying  was "what a pear," and I knew I could find just the right pear shape from my Cricut stash. Sure enough, I found a wonder pear on the Just Because Cards cartridge. I finished the card with orange bling around the sentiment.
