Peachy Keen Challenge 37

This week's challenge is to make a card or layout following the provided sketch.  Design must be new and linked to the blog by 10/03, 11:59 EDT.  For my card, I used one of the pumpkin cuts on the Mini Monster Cricut Cartridge cut at 2 1/2 inches.  The pumpkin's face is from PK-691 Make a Monster Face. I think he looks cute with the sentiment that was a free gift stamp at the last sale.  Hope to see your project at the Challenge Blog :)

Peachy Keen Challenge 36, Candles

I am lovin' this idea that DoBea came up with for this weeks Peachy Keen Challenge:  Create a project involving candles.  You can wrap them, stamp on them, or anything else your creative  minds can come up with! Be sure to link up by 9/26, 11:59 EST.
I enjoy a candle jar and always have them in my kitchen.  BUT they have those labels that are just asking to be decorated with some darling Peachy Keen stamps!  Here is Miss Spider and her request "gimme all of your flies to eat!" I am sure she will be happy living with me because I live by some horse stables AND their fly friends are plentiful.

Wicked Wishes

I have been busy decorating my home for Halloween.  I just finished this wall hanging I made to enter in the Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge.  All the cuts are from Mini Monsters' Cricut cartridge except the moon which came from the Don Juan cartridge.  The base plaque is metal and was found at my local Micheal's.

Miss Spider was ready for her close up :)

The Spider and the Fly...

The Cricut Circle's Last Anniversary Blog Challenge is to follow a sketch.  My house is a disaster keeping up with all the challenges but cleaning the house is not as fun as playing with paper... I thought I would make a Halloween card for my niece.  The spider can swing around and she can move around the card as she is anchored by her web. 
The Challenge: Create a project of your choice using the sketch below. Your project must include at least 2 different Cricut Image Cuts

Sometimes I look at my fly...

Sometimes I attack the fly!

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #42

This challenge is card making challenge.  I used the Mini Monsters' Card feature and added a pumpkin for my little skeleton boy to carry his candy.   The stamp on the Halloween pumpkin is form Pink By Design's "A Haunting We Will Go" set. 

Pumpkin Time

It is time for another weekly challenge at Fantabulous Cricut.  For this Challenge you must include a pumpkin on your project.  I used Mini Monters for the princess, page title, and pumpkins. My Journal tag was made with the Imagine and Imagine More cartridge.  Elegant edges cartridge was used for the rest of the cuts. 

Mini Album, BOO!

Here is an easy to put together mini album I made for my sister.  The album base is 3 black envelopes and each page has a pull out tag.  Each letter is only glued at the edge at the side so it will slide over the page.  Add some stamps (I used My Pink Stamper's Sook-alicious.), punches, and Cricut cuts, and you are ready for pictures. 

Spider charm is made from stamp set and a Tim Holt's fragment

Halloween Countdown Callendar

Here is my entry for the Cricut Circle's Monthly Challenge: Window Dressing Challenge. (Create a project of your choice and include a WINDOW element of some kind! Your project must include at least 2 different Cricut Image Cuts.)  I thought about making a Halloween scene that you might see in a shop window and this is what I came up with.  I just love it!  It reminds me of trick-or-treating with my "super hero" brother and my imagination running wild at the scary old house on the block.  The countdown pieces have magnets on the back that stick to the painted cookie sheet.

My Pink Stamper's Design Call, January 2011

What an exciting way to start the New Year, My Pink Stamper's Design Team Call! My Pink Stamper, Robyn,  has so many talented people creating for her it would be an honor to be a member of this design team. That being said, the likelihood of making the team is slim to none. A girl has to dream, right? Robyn's challenge was to create a project with these colors: Green, Pink, and Brown. With those colors in my head, I thought a frog project would suit those color choices.  I made this shape card from Mini Monsters cricut cartridge. She is so cute with her pink spots! Inside the card I used the "hoppy birthday" stamp from My Pink Stamper's Punny-licious Set.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #4, Boo!

This was a fun challenge requesting a Halloween project that used at least 2 cuts and a transparent element.  I used Sweet Treats to cut my favor box and Mini Monsters for the sweet little pumpkin.  I cut vellum for the pumpkin leaf.  The handle is made from the plastic net that you buy oranges in at the grocery store. 

Halloween Exploding Box

This cute Halloween decoration was inspired by Kathy's Exploding House at http://paperphenomenon.blogspot.com/ and Lisa's Barn Project at http://bugjunkie.blogspot.com/.  My twist was to add a different roof to my exploding box.  I was admiring my daughter's 3-D haunted house from the Happy Hauntings cartridge and thought the tower piece would make a great roof for my house.  I cut the tower at 14 inches and that seemed to fit a 4 inch square box lid nicely.  If you peek inside the roof window, a skull and kitty are making their spooky presence. I used a Martha Stewart Punch for the jack-o-lantern by the front door and her spider web edge punch for the roof.

The Sadow Box had Babies

I had extra parts from my shadow box so I made these mini shadow boxes for Peachy Keen Stamps' Challenge #38.  The challenge was and October theme, no cards.  The ghost's face is from PK-570 and the eyes on the multi-eyed slimey monster are from PK-754.  All images were cut from my cricut.  The cuts are popped up with clear plastic packaging.  I like how they appear to float in the boxes.
