Monster Mash Tree

Happy Friday! That means it is time for another Peachy Keen Challenge.  This week it is a color challenge.  Check out the details at the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog.  Be sure to link your project up by October 17 at 11:59 pm EST. The base for this project is a wire tree that I picked up at Joann's. Monsters are cut with the Bump in the Night Cricut cartridge.  Their faces are from PK-691 Make A Monster Face and PKSC-09.  I pulled card stock colors from the photo inspiration and found some paper button mum flowers to put on the base. 

Cricut Cartridges:
Rosette- Something to Celebrate
"Monster Mash"- Formal Occasion
Monsters- Bump in the Night

My Peachy Castle

I found this blank chipboard album at the Peachy Keen and thought it would be a fun project to decorate. Since the base is cut for you, you can get to the fun of decorating your castle.  I used my Cricut to make most of the embellishments and added my Peachy Keen stamps to give the cuts some extra personality.

Front Cover, I used Sweet Tooth Boxes for window
frames but needed to customize the size with my Gypsy.

Draw bridge is open to welcome you... or you can use
Rapunzel's hair to enter, LOL

Love that silly face on the crown from the
PK-293 The Cornies Face Assortment

The dragon is the dino from Create a Critter with wings from a bat cut.
(I wanted him to match my paper... his dragon friend is in the left castle window)
His eye is from PK-140 Teddy Bear and Reindeer Face Parts.

Love the girl cuts on Once Upon a Princess cricut cartridge
with the PK-640 Princess Face Assortment

Removable journal card is behind the base of the Princess

The bows are from PK-225 Happy Flowers and Cheerful Phrases.
The face on the wand is from the same set.
The pink base folds out for 3 photo mats if you remove the paper clip.

The carriage is from Formal Occasion Cricut Cartridge
and is used to hold photo mats

I hoped you enjoyed the long, picture heavy,  "royal" tour of the castle.  Enjoy your week!

The Sock Hop, Singles only please

Cricut Circle's Challenge # 49: As your taking down the decorations from the holidays, there seems to be a feeling to give everything in our homes a fresh start to the new year. We feel a desire to reorganize those closets, and clean out things that could use a little less clutter. This week’s challenge is all about “function meets fun”! Show us how you use your Cricut machines to organize your home, office, garage, etc.

For this challenge, I made a "Sock Hop" for my "stag socks" that come out of the dryer.  Some socks are happy to be at the party, while others seem a little shocked.  They probably know the truth, their match will never join them...



Cricut Cuts:

Formal Occasion- Sock hop @ 3, Base @ 6
