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.

Smile!



I am thrilled to be sharing today's Daily Inspiration for Exploring Cricut and More

I had so much fun with this card because my inspiration came for this adorable angry fish from Pretty Papers Pretty Ribbons Fishy Friends cut files (using my Cricut Explore). I just love him, and I wanted to pair him with a Smile sentiment for a little twist. Unfortunately, this stamp is from an unknown set. 


I imagine this little guy in murky water, so I went with this green swirl paper from Fancy Pants. The circle mat is embossed with a swirl Cuttlebug folder, and actually is lined up as best as I could with the patterned paper. His eyebrows are flocked from all the gunk in the water.
