I have a LO today of my cutie pie son eating an ear of corn. Weird topic to scrap isn't it? And apparently, I thought it was cute to take a picture of him eating corn.......twice in his life! The first one was when he was 16 months old and the second one was taken recently. I have to admit though that I loved how his recent picture came out! His blue eyes and dimples just melt my heart! I used Noel Mignon's newest kit, Dear Diary and my Cricut machine. The Country Life Cartridge was used to cut the ears of corn and the title.
I love layering papers and stitching right over them with my sewing machine!
I love the polka dot paper......it sort of looks like corn, doesn't it?
Since Country Life is by far one of my most FAVORITE cartridges, I thought I'd give one away to a lucky winner! What do you have to do? Just leave a suggestion........kind of like this is a virtual suggestion box! IS there anything you'd like to see here? Things I can do to make this place a better place to visit? And if you aren't a follower, I would love if you did! Become a follower and you double your chances of winning this fabulous cartridge!
Please leave your suggestion in my "suggestion box" by Saturday night at 9PM CST. I will randomly select a winner! If you are chosen please leave a comment here within 3 days, or I will need to chose another winner.
Thanks so much for stopping on by! Your visits truly mean the world to me! : )

Michele - what a sweet layout! Love those little ears of corn...I just did a layout of the girls eating corn for the 1st time and that would have been perfect. But, I know I could get a lot of use out of that cartridge living in Iowa! What a great giveaway! I don't really have a suggestion for you...just keep sharing your beautiful work! :)
I've been a follower for a few months now, and I suggest you don't change a thing! You have a beautiful page and I get a lot of inspiration from your projects.

Michele... this LO is darling! And you are right... the polka dot paper does look like corn! I love checking out your blog for LO inspiration... you do a fabulous job with the details! The only thing I would suggest would be what others have already said.. a few more tutorials would be nice!

This farm family would absolutely LOVE to win this fabulous Cricut cartridge!!! I like seeing how you are utilizing the images you get from the cartidges. What I am very, very interested in seeing is how you use the Cricut cartridge images on cards and gift items especially, as they are my passions. Of course, I enjoy seeing what you can do with them in scrapbooking, as well, since I do that, too! Thank you for the opportunity to try and win.

I love your layout and I am alway impressed with the sewing you do on things. My suggestion is show us how you do all the stitching.
Love the layout. I have just started sewing on my layouts and I like the way you sewed right over the words. I will need to try that. I don't have any suggestions because I am new to your blog. I am now a follower. I would like to reserve my suggestion for a time when I "know" you a little more! This cartridge would be amazing to have!!
Your designs are lovely. My only suggestion, how about some videos?
Love your blog...I would love some help on making cards...I just cant seem to get the sizing down right...

I love your LO Michele! I have asked for a new sewing machine for my birthday and if I get it I plan on starting to incorporate sewing on my cards and LO's. I LOVE the look of the layered paper with stitching on your LO, so my suggestion or request would be that you show us more paper projects using your sewing machine! :)

Your work is great. I would like to see more imagine ideas. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have just found your blog and became a follower. Looks like an awfully nice blog to me - don't know anything that I would change except just keep adding more of those wonderful projects. Thanks for the opportunity to win the cartridge.
What a great page! I love this country cartridge and would love to win it. I love how you used printed paper for your corn.
As far as suggestions go, I'd just love to see more Cricut ideas like this one. I own a Cricut and rarely use it. It seems most people I know that own Cricuts don't use them. I always seem to go back to my Cuttlebug and dies if I need a die cut. I'd love some ideas.
And, I'm already a follower.
What a great site and what a fantastic giveaway! This cartridge is a "must have" for me. I love it!
My suggestion would be to post the sizes of the things that are cut out with the Cricut. That's one of my biggest problems--I never know the exact size to cut things!
Adorable layout! And he does have beautiful eyes and dimples, what a cute boy.
Kim Horlander
Great layout (and what great blue eyes your son has!!)
I'm already a follower. Love your work and would love to see video tutorials. Thanks for the chance to win that fun cart!
I love to see your layouts...I am a scrapper so I really like some layout tips...most blogs do cards...Thanks!
Oh I just love that layout! So beautiful and the corn is just perfect! I just love your blog and all your work. As for suggestions I'd love some tutorials on using the sewing machine onto layouts and cards. I've tried it a few times and I can never get it to look even close to what you can do! Any help would be appreciated!

I would love to see some crafts for beginners. Maybe something showing your thought process on how you came to create some of the things you have. Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
Love your layout. Country Life is on my wishlist, I'd love to win it.
This cartridge is so on my wish list. I hope Random picks me :). As for a suggestion for the blog I haven't really checked it out yet. So far it looks like you post a lot of stuff that you do and it't not cluttered with advertisements. I am going to go sign up to become a follower.
Thanks,
Alicia
I love your layout. I really want to try stitiching. It looks so great on your page. Thank you for a chance to win. I don't have this cart and it is one of many on my "want" list.
Your blog is awesome, I have no suggestions,
I am already a follower.

I think you are doing a great job. Can't think of one thing to change
What a cute layout. The corn looks good enough to eat. How about a tip every now and again or a video. Your blog is amazing. I just became a follower.
Thanks for the giveaway-It's hard to think of a suggestion for such an awesome blog but I guess add a most popular searches or something for a new follower to see some of your best work!
I've been following your blog for awhile now and I can't think of anything to suggest. You always have such wonderful ideas and projects; I think it's perfect just as it is. Thanks for the give-away.
I enjoyed meeting you at the SLC swarm and talking with you for just a little bit.

Michele, I just love the layout of your son eating the corn...BOTH times! I am totally new to blogging...believe it or not. I have a blog, but I think I've only posted one thing since I started it...oh, two years ago! SO this is a completely selfish suggestion, but I was wondering if you would perhaps give some blogging tips and maybe even some instructions. Heck, I'd even accept tutoring! hee hee
Your work is beautiful! I'll try to figure out how to follow your blog! :)
Already follower, I would like to see more home decor projects! But besides that I love all your projects! Keep up the awesome work!
If it aint broke, dont fix it! You create beautiful things. Dont change! That's my suggestion, because I love coming over and looking!
Di&Co
My suggestion...keep up the good work! Your designs are so creative and beautiful! You have such a great talent for beauty and design!
That is a wonderful layout. I especially love that you have two photos of your son AND that at his age now, he still allows photos to be taken for scrapbook pages! I do not have any suggestions for you because I think you already do fantastic projects!!
Thank you for all of your beautiful work! No suggestions, just keep creating! New follower here :) I visit Iowa every summer...ya think I could get some use outta that cart? haha Thanks for the chance :)
Adorable LO I don't find I a strange thing at all to scrap- in fact I did one myself a couple of years ago of my youngest dd and her first corn experience. As for suggestions, I can't really help you, I think your blog looks great. I am just starting a new blog myself and clicked to follow yours for inspiration. It looks great to me.
well i love lots of pictures and videos. I am very visual learner. Thanks for the great projects.
What a wonderful blog you have. I love your scrapbook pages!
No suggestions! You have a very fun and unique crafting style which is beautiful :) Keep up the great work!
Emily (coolcricutcreations at yahoo dot com)
My only suggestion is to get yourself out there more!!! OMG! I came across your blog from the Cricut Circle site and I am in LOVE!!! I am so excited to see more of your creations. I am a follower now :)
Thanks so much!
Siobhan
Love this layout! The colors are PERFECT & I love, love, love the ears of corn! I was dying to know what "treatment" you had done to the corn to make it look so realistic, & then I saw that it's "just" polka dot paper!!! WOW! I guess I'd just ask for variety; it seems that most blogs focus on cards & I'm starting to make more cards, but, my main focus is scrapbooking. So, a good variety of projects AND don't forget us scrapbookers...Thanks!!
I absolutely love your work!! It is so much fun to watch your kids grow. I love any kind of card tutorials, especially using new products.
You always have the cutest ideas! How do you stay so creative?
Your scrapbook pages help me to venture to places uknown...my husband never in his wildest dreams thought I would use a sewing machine on scrapbook pages (Seeing as how I don't use it the way it should be used), but you help make that possible with your pages. BTW...I also have several pictures of my son eating corn on the cob...can never have to many. Thanks much! Terri Metzcus
