Introducing Trell Doxie, our Guest Designer this week!

We are so thrilled to have Trell Doxie back as this week's Guest Designer.

He did a fabulous job for us  back in April - we are big fans of his shabby chic style.  This guy is majorly talented!

Here's more about Trell:


My name is Trell and I am a lifelong resident of Alabama. I am super excited to guest on Everyday Cricut, and I thank Joy and Melanie for having me. 
Even though I’ve been at this for almost 2 years now, I still feel like the new kid on the block. I am primarily a card maker, but I’m inching my way out that box slowly but surely.  I consider myself a vintage boy. I love anything with a shabby look to it. So, it is my hope that you all take something from my week here on Everyday Cricut. 
Let's be sure and leave Trell lots of great comments this week!

Also, don't forget that we are giving away a Cricut Simply Scarecrow cartridge this week:


How can you win?

1) Leave a comment below: are you sad summer is ending or glad for the upcoming autumn/winter festivities?  I (Joy) am sad summer is over - this one was practically the best summer ever!
2) Leave a comment on all posts this week to maximize your chances of winning.
3) Subscribe or follow the blog!

Winner will be announced August 26, 2012 and has two weeks to claim prize.  Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Welcome back, Trell! I can't wait to see what you have for us this week!

I'm sad/glad summer is over. I love summer, but this one was especially difficult so I'm ready for a fresh start!

Beebeebabs said...

Welcome Trell looking forward to seeing your creations!!!

Melissa said...

I am very sad that summer is leaving, unfortunately I live where we get lots of snow at times and I can't stand winter. I do love autumn though!

Bunnyfreak said...

Glad cooler weather is coming-- sad the pool will be closing.

Sukie said...

Can't wait to see more of Trell's creations and Emma's stamps on them! I am so sad that summer is over because the kids have to go back to school and we are all back on a schedule. I truly enjoy having the kids at home during the summer without homework and projects.

Maria H. said...

Looking forward to seeing your work, Trell!

I'm glad that autumn is coming. It's my favorite time of year. I love going apple and pumpkin picking with the family. I can't get enough of the cool, crisp air mixed in with the scent of falling leaves.

guilinger2 said...

I'm glad the heat has let up, I'm not so sure I'm ready for school, since we homeschool and we start tomorrow. Let's just say, I am not well prepared yet.
Welcome Trell!

Hello Trell,

Can't wait to see what projects you come up with this week. I'm a bit sad summer is over, but I'm definitely excited for the winter because that's the time I get to spend most with my family.

Cynthia B. said...

Welcome Trell! :)
I'm a little sad that summer is over - it's been nice to have time with my kids and not have to BE anywhere.
At the same time, I'm ready to get back into a routine...even if my kids aren't! (And I can't wait for the fall weather to get here...should be something like October before it's finally cool enough for me!)

Hi..I'm super excited for the fall.. I've been stocking up on fall themed ribbon and embellishments.. This simply scarecrow cart would make a FANTASTIC addition to my preparations!:) thanks for the opportunity.

I'm super excited that summer is over because it has been a billion degrees here in Texas! So, I'm hoping for a much cooler autumn! It's my favorite season!

I am glad summer is almost over, this has been the worst summer for heat in the history of Colorado! Give me that wonderful Indian Summer!

I am glad summer is over because Fall is my favorite time of year! I love the cooler temperatures and the beautiful colors of fall!! The leaves on one of the trees in my backyard are already starting to turn, school starts today, and I'm looking forward to the beauty of the season. I also love snow, so I'm looking forward to the season to follow.
Thanks for the chance to win the awesome "Scarecrows" cart!!

Noreen Johnson said...

I had an awesome summer but Autumn is by far my most favorite season so for me the scarecrow cartridge is awesome and I would love to win it!

scrappyfrannine said...

Welcome Trell!! I too love vintage look. I am happy that summer is almost over...I do not like the heat. I love, love, love, autumn. Living in Texas the humidity is terrible, so our autumns (the small time we have it) is wonderful. Thanks for the opportunity to win this cartridge, I have always wanted it since it came out.

Victoria Collinsworth said...

I am happy that this summer is coming to a close, but sad that it was to hot to enjoy....I love fall and wish it would last longer...

I'm not a big of summer. I do love the Fall/Winter weather better.

I'm glad the summer is over, we were moving during the heat of summer and now it's cooling off and the kids are back in school, so it's calmer around the house.

I am sad that summer is coming to an end. We didn't get a chance to do everything we wanted to get done. I need another weekend at the beach, and a day spent in the pool from sun up to sunset!!

Welcome back Trell!! I'm excited to see your creations! As for the summer ending, I am happy it's ending! I LOVE all the holidays coming up and the weather getting colder and all the kids back at school. Although, my little one doesn't go to school yet. I just enjoy the winter a lot more then the summer.

Becky said...

It's been a long, hot, dry summer, so I am certainly ready for the change of seasons.

Stacey Tumbloo said...

Bring on the fall! I'm ready for cooler temperatures! I can't wait to see Trell's designs! I love the scarecrow images, I hadn't seen this one yet.

Cheryl W said...

I'm very sad to see summer end. I like snow for about a day, and then I grumble as I shovel. :) Can't wait to see what Trell has up his sleeve!

Poquoson mom said...

Well lets see...I am sad summer is ending because my grandkids go back to school and I will miss them spending the night and doing craft projects with them. But fall is one of my favorite times of the year. That being said I would love to have a chance to win the scarecrow cartridge because its full of fall looks. :} Looking forward to what Trell has for us this week,

spelsue said...

Can't wait to see what Trell brings us this time around!
I'm happy to see this wet summer go. We have so few months that are warm and sunny that it makes for a long summer when we are indoors all the time.
I love fall. Having grown up in Florida I didn't get to experience the seasonal changes. I love the crisp air, apple picking, pumpkin patches and snuggling in front of a fire! Bring it on.

Nancy said...

Thanks for the chance to win this cartridge. I am a little sad that summer is coming to an end. My grandkids are here for the last two days of their summer break. It is so much fun having them here. A couple of them love to be in my scrap room and work on projects so today we may be making some t-shirts. Welcome bak Trell. Your projects are amazing.

D- said...

It will be great to see what Trell has to share with us!!
I am sad and happy summer is coming to an end. I am a teacher and fall is always bitter sweeet. On one hand I'm excited for the school year to begin and on the other I'm sad for summer vac to end. Love to spend time with my kiddo.

I am glad summer is wrapping up. I have already started work on Fall and Halloween stuff and am burning my Spiced Pumpkin candle to put me in the mood. I can't wait for cooler weather and those beautiful fall colors! And I love all the fall papers and stamps that are coming out!

happyscrap said...

I always miss summer and we had record breaking heat in Oklahoma ! Thanks

Poquoson mom said...

Happy because Fall is coming,love that time of the year but sad because grandkids start back to school. Welcome to Trell. Looking forward seeing what all he has planned for us.

Debbie J said...

I live in Florida so there really is no end to summer, but we do know when it is fall-the northerners come back, aka-snow birds!! Fall was my favorite up north-apples and leaves turning.

Momof4inArlington said...

I am sad to see summer end, because my children will be heading back to school. Although, I'm excited about the new school year, (my middle son is entering high school-YIKES!). Also, fall and winter are my favorite seasons! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Vicki said...

The extremely hot weather and the drought has made this a miserable summer in Missouri so I am not sad to see it go. Fall is my favorite time of year so I am very much looking forward to it's arrival. Love the scarecrow cartridge, thanks for the chance to win.

Linda T said...

I'm not really that sad that this summer is over, with the super hot temps and drought in our area. My favorite time of the year is fall (football, school, cool temps). And what a great time for decorating and crafts!

Monica said...

Welcome back Trell...I love summer but am really tired of the heat. Bring on Fall and football!

Pam said...

Love the cart...don't have anything with Scarecrows. Looking forward to the shares over this week. I am very new to cardmaking but have been scrapping longer and love every step...good thing. I was a collector for several years before I scraped anything but when I started I had a nice setup. Thanks, Pam

Judy Webb said...

Looking forward to Trell's designs and would love that cart.

littlen said...

as much as i love the summer, i must admit i'm looking forward to fall to see the leaves changing colors and all the upcoming holidays.

Barb D. said...

Hi Trell. Looking forward to your designs. I love Fall and Winter. The best holidays are in those months. Summer was just hot and uncomfortable.

Anonymous said...

My favorite season is Fall! The colors, the smells, I just love it. Can't wait to see all of the Halloween ideas.

I just LOVE using my cricut for the holidays (which, let's face it, start w/ Halloween and go non-stop until the new year!!). I've been hoping to find the scarecrow cart in a store, but haven't had any luck - I'd love to have it for classroom [& my own house, naturally!] decorations!! The phrases are great looking & those scarecrows are just SOOOOOO adorable!! Thank you so much for allowing us to have a chance to win it - you ladies are GREAT!

Sue M. said...

I LOVE summer time and really don't mind the heat. Love how the trees are full of beautiful leaves and my flowers just keep blooming and growing. I will be very sad to see it go.
But if it must go, what a fun way to enjoy the fall with a Simply Scarcrows cartridge to scrap all the fun Halloween pictures and projects with.
Happy Scrapping.

I am sad that summer in nearly over. I love summer since I don't have to follow up on my son's homework. Also my daughter is off to college this year, nearly 1000 miles away.

Chasn Paper said...

I am so glad Summer is almost over. Here in the South we are still in the 90's! Fall is my favorite time of the year. I just wish it would get here sooner!

KLC said...

Welcome, Trell! I enjoyed your first design this week and can't wait to see what else you come up with for the rest of the week. I live in Texas and I am not a native Texan, so I am looking forward to the cooler temperatures of fall and winter.

MusicGeeks said...

Since I'm a teacher, the end of summer is always bittersweet. Bitter because it means vacation is over and the work has to begin again. But sweet because I always get to start my job with a fresh outlook each fall.

DonnaSue said...

Welcome, welcome Trell! Summer is not over--I still have some beach days left (I hope).Lol

Jackie said...

I am looking forward to fall. In PA the weather is already cool and I have my pumpkin spice candles going already. As I got married in the fall it's a great time of year.

HoneybeeKaren said...

Fall can be fun too! Great ways to decorate and ideas are always coming our way from you guys!!

I am a bit sad that summer is almost over. I love to garden and record what new plants I have blooming with photos. I do hope I can get some good fall planting weather as summer has been so doggone HOT. Winter is my scrap all those photos time.

Brenda said...

I'm very glad that summer is almost over. It was just toooooo hot for me. My fav. season is Autumn, w/ all of its glorious colours!

Thanks for a chance to win the "Scarecrow" cart. :-)

SugarBear said...

Boy, is that ever a hard question to answer. I mean, July was sooooo hot and kept so many of us from doing what we would normally do, which is enjoy the outdoors! It just seems like we didn't have summer this year. Our nights are cooler now and the days are warm enough. Looking forward to fall and the beginning of the holiday season. For us, that starts with Halloween, one of our favorites.

OH PLEASE DON'T TRY TO TELL ME THAT SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER!!!

I am very sad that summer is over! I love the warmth and the easy pace of summer. Fall is nice, but summer is the best! Where we live, school started on Aug 1 - so my kidlet has been back at school for a few weeks and I'm already in school craft mode.

I'm a fairly new follower so looking forward to Trell's creations.
Funny that you said this has been the best summer because for me this is the worst summer! I hate heat and we have broken way too many records for heat. Can't wait for Fall and I will even welcome winter with a smile.
