Our last challenge

The time has come for us to say goodbye. My life has gotten too chaotic to keep up with the Chirper Challenge so this will be our last challenge.

As a thank you to each of you who stop by and check us out and have played along our final challenge is to create a thank you card.

I want to send a special THANK YOU out to all the designers who have been a part of our team. Thank you for sharing your time and your talent with us.

Pumpking recipe challenge

Recently one of our designers, Christine Nay, introduced me to a fabulous blog Creative Cookbooking. So for our challenge this week we took on their challenge, to create a layout about a favorite pumpkin treat.

I had so much fun with this and can't wait to create more recipe pages!!
Thanks Christine and the folks at Creative Cookbooking for the fun challenge :)

Here's what our designers created.

I love making pages for my album but I'm more and more fun to make housings. I am the proud owner of a Cricut Expression and as I say "Me & Expression: Addiction.



I currently have 24 cartridges and I love them all for their incredible diversity and possibilites, but have some favorites: Storybook, Graphically Speaking, A Child's Year, Sweetheart, Home decor.



It happened through the scrap and net welfare choses. The beautiful beautiful virtual meetings, a chance to be named Chirper Challenge Guest Designer. An article on me will appear in the magazine Scrapbooking Passion in late November and from the 24/10. I integrate the editorial team of the Mini-Mag (virtual magazine) with a monthly feature devoted entirely to the Cricut. I also converted a few friends with whom we meet for us to indulge our passion.

Hi! My name is Sherri Simmons. I live in Pounding Mill, Virginia. I'm married to my high school sweetheart and the mother of two teens. I began scrapping last summer following a two week vacation to Florida and the Bahamas.



My husband gave me a Cricut for my birthday last September, and I started cutting and never stopped. My favorite cartridge is Paper Doll Dress Up. Described by many as "quirky", my scrapping style is whimsical. I love to create my own characters from basic shapes or by looking at cuts a little "outside of the box."


My work has been featured in the Cricut Chirp newsletter, I've made the top 5 in the Cupcake Craft Challenge contests, and I recently won the decorative scissors contest on Practical Scrappers.

My style is clean, colorful and coordinating. I love using pattern paper, my darling Cricut and always finding ways to incorporate stamping.



Layouts are something I am trying to get into. I purchase SEI 2009 Calendar, where each month is a predefined layout , but I try to incorporate my own style. This has worked well for me, because it guarantee I will make 12 layouts that year. On each layout, I use my Cricut. I have done this for 3 years straight and love it!

Thank you all for understanding the dely in posting. I appreciate your thoughts, prayers and well wishes. The family member who was sick wasn't expected to make it through the day over a week and a half ago. She had a heart attack, and her liver and kidneys were failing. Each day since has been like walking on egg shells but she's beat all the odds and is being moved to a nursing home for recovery today.

She is the strongest most stubbon person I've ever known, she inspires me!

Check back later today for our latest challenge, and thanks again for waiting :)

Hugs to all!

Sorry for the delay

I'll get the DT into's posted as soon as I can and I also have a new challenge for you all but I've had a family emergency. My family needs me right now so that's where I need to be for a few days.

Thanks for understanding, and I'll be back as soon as possible
