Cricut Charm Bracelet

CRICUT EVERYDAY CONTEST!  The newest cartridge to the Cricut Circle is the Cricut Everyday, and this is the cartridge required for the Magazine Challenge this month.  Entries must create something that you would use to define yourself at Meet-ups, Crops, the Stampede or any other circle event.  I decided to make some glamours charms for my Circle Bracelet of my favorite Cricut things.  The charms are my little Cuttlebug machine, Gypsy logo, and my favorite cartridge Create A Critter.  I layered the paper charms with coats of Aleene's Paper Glaze and added jump rings.

Heather's Trinket Box


I decorated this paper mache box for my gal to store some of her treasures.  This is an entry for Peachy Keen's Let's Face it Friday Challenge.  They challenged us to create a handmade spring inspired gift with Peachy Keen Face stamps.  For this sweet girl enjoying her day in an April shower, I used the PK-640 Princess Face Assortment.   These stamps make the kids on the Once Upon a Princess cartridge look so darling.

Jasmine and Aladdin Scrapbook Page

This scrapbook page features the Dreams Come True Cricut Cartridge.  The Disney cartridges are very
tedious to assemble cuts but the results are fantastic.  I am entering this in the Cricut Circle's Weekly Challenge #21: Animal Magnetism Challenge!  The Circle asked for a project to be made about an animal, include an animal cut, use animal print, etc. Project must also contain at least 2 Cricut images to qualify.  My animal is the monkey Abu and I included a tiger print stamp on this page.

My Garden Scrapbook Page

This simple page was made with Walk in My Garden.  I took these pictures when I got this cartridge... it has only taken me 4 years to scrap it.  Are you laughing at me?   Emma(http://www.creativetimeforme.com/2011/02/throwback-thursday-challenge-episode.html) had throwback challenge to use this cart, I thought of this project I had in my crafting cue.

Lucky Banner

I hope I am lucky... I am entering this in Cricut Circle's February Monthly Challenge to win what I am calling a "pile of cricut imagine cartridges".  I don't have an Imagine yet, but I have been saving for one.  The challenge entry must be a banner and have at least 3 cuts.  I used lots of cuts but the stars of this banner are the leprechaun and his pot of gold which are from Simply Charmed.  The font is from Storybook. 
banner is tied to bead necklaces

The charms are made from "gold coin candy foil" that are covering paper circles weighted with a penny. 

The rainbow and cloud are attached with a brad so you can adjust them so it is horizontal with respect to the ground.

Bee Mine

Here is the challenge from the Cricut Circle: Valentine’s Day is just a few days away and we thought it would be fun to challenge you to put your scrappy skills to use by creating an extra special note for someone you adore. It can be a friend, your mom, a lover, your child, a neighbor . . . anyone! Your project must include a heart and embossing (we want to see you incorporate those Cuttlebug embossing folders). Project must also contain at least 2 Cricut cuts to qualify. 
Simple, right?  I found the cute bee on Pooh and Friends and the "mine" on Simply Charmed.  The circle and hearts are from George and Basic Shapes.  My Cuttlebug heart folder was used to emboss the circle and Mr. Bee's wings are embossed with tiny hearts.   I  just love a corny card.

Dachshund Love

I just had to share this card, because this dachshund cut in the Four Legged Friends cartridge had me shopping at midnight at The Wal Mart's Black Friday Sale.  I never do that, but he is so cute I just had to have him.  My puppy is soooo long he wraps around the card!  Happy Valentine's Day my friends-
