Snowmen Ornaments

Happy Friday! It is time for another Peachy Keen Challenge.  This week's challenge is to make an ornament for your tree. Be sure to link up your project by 12/12 - 11:59 pm EST at the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog. For my project, I embellished pre-made snowflake ornaments with Snowmen from Cricut's Winter Frolic Cartridge.  Their faces are from Peachy Keen, PK-480 and PK-144.  I actually cut all the pieces in white card stock and used markers and ink to change the color of the layers. I find that small pieces work well with this method.

Christmas Card Challenge....sigh

I about fainted when My Pink Stamper suggested a Christmas Card Challenge.  But, I guess if you think about it... Christmas crafty things should be made now for holiday craft fairs and gifts.  "Believe" stamps is from My Pink Stamper's Family and Friends stamp collection.  I should get busy and make a set  of these...

Let it Snow

These cuts are made with the Winter Frolic and Winter Woodland Cartridges.  I just love that kid on the sled, he looks like he is having a blast.  This is for the Cricut Circle Weekly challenge: use WHATEVAH shape you would like, but be sure to repeat it three times on your project. Project must also include spray ink and must be newly created for this challenge.  My three cuts are snowflakes and are sprayed with my spray ink. 

Cricut Circle December Monthly Challenge: Holiday Gifts

The theme for this month’s challenge is geared towards helping you cross off one of the names on your holiday gift list by creating a Holiday Gift Item. Project must be newly created for this challenge and should include the following elements to qualify: use a tag made with a cartridge (there are so many great tags on so many cartridges), use the color red somewhere, use ribbon, and use the Phrase Feature from one of the cartridges.

My Entry is a chocolate chip cookie mix.  The glass jar was decorated with glitter stickers, fabric, and red ribbon.  My tag is from Winter Frolic (penguin key and penguin shift key) and I hid the candy with my Gypsy on the inner tag.  The inner tag was embossed with my Cuttlebug with the Flurries folder.  "Sweet Holiday Wishes" phrase is from Winter Frolic (penguin phrase).  The tag is decorated with chocolate chip cookies from Sesame Street  Friends.  If that cookie is OK with cookie monster, it is OK with me!  I crumbled up the top layer of the cookie to give the cookie some texture and glued it on the dark chocolate base with some hot glue.

Winter Frolic Christmas Ornament

This is my entry for October's Cricut Circle Magazine Challenge.  Entries must have 4 cricut cuts and use some other Provo Craft product, which I chose my Cuttlebug.  I used the birthday candle Cuttlebug embossing folder to put "slats" on my sled.  (I am not sure if that is the name of the folder.)  I also wanted to use my snowflake folder on the scallop circle but go so excited about putting the ornament together I forgot about my snowflake folder.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge, Dear Santa

Here is my scrapbook page for the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge.  The challenge was to use 2 cuts, a shadow cut, bling, and the French Manor cartridge.  French Manor- window and window layer @ 6.5 inch, stamp boarder @ 1 inch (make 4, flipping 2 and welding to make frame).  Winter Frolic- Santa, phrase and phrase shadow @ 3 inch.  Martha Stewart Branch punch was used for the greens on Santa's house.  I used a Christmas card front for the Santa that is peeking out of his French Manor window.  Don't tell my dog, but it looks like Santa has an orange cat sitting by the fire.
