Home Sweet Homes Picture Frame

My Creative Time has a Throwback Challenge this week to create a 3-D project with any older Cricut cartridge.  I had this idea to make a frame made with house shapes that features my family.  I broke out my Jubilee cartridge for this project.  I love the house shapes and these fantastic banners are PERFECT for my new stamp set, My Favorite Sayings.  (I even got the bonus stamp with my order, yippee!) 

Mom and Me Challenge

I am the youngest child in my family... what that means is there are not many of pictures of me from my childhood.  Yes, if you were born before the invention of the digital camera, this might be your story too.  The Cricut Circle is running a challenge this week to scrapbook a page about you and your mom.  My mom died when I was in my early twenties which still can bring me to tears today.  Sometimes I wonder if she would be crafting with her Cricut with me as she was VERY creative.  SO, travel back to 1967 with me to remember my dear mom.

Nesting Doll Card

Here is a card for Let's Face It Friday Challenge over at Peachy Keen stamps.  This week the challenge is to make ANY Mother's Day project but you must use some Peachy Keen Face Stamps.  My entry is a Mother's Day card with a Nesting Doll from Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge. 

Happy Easter Basket

This Easter Mini Album was the brain child of Kathy at Paper Phenomenon.  The inside of my box has traditional mats while Kathy has added lots of flaps, foldouts and interaction.  My photo mats are decorated with my Cricut using Easter 2010 and Kate's ABCs cartridges. 

Spring Candy Jar

I can't believe how fast this week is going... was busy making an Easter project when I realized it was Thursday and I have not made my Handmade flowers for the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge.  This would be perfect for a Mother's Day gift for any "Mom" like person in your life.  I used Give a Hoot cartridge to cut several 5 petal flowers and leaves.

Bunny Slippers Scrapbook Page

This is a 8 by 8 Scrapbook page for my daughter's slumber party.  I will be entering this in Emma's Throwback Challenge.  Her challenge this week was to create a scrapbook page using a Cricut Lite Cartridge.  My page is created with the Slumber Party Lite Cartridge. 

Fresh as a Daisy Purse

Can you believe this purse was made with 3 recycled items?  Yep, grab your used dryer sheets, gift basket filler, kids craft package (the purse was a key chain kit from the 99 cent store), and you can make this purse.  If you don't have a purse to recycle, you could cut a purse from the Forever Young cricut cartridge.  This is my entry for the April Monthly Challenge at the Cricut Circle.  The challenge: Repurpose 3 items and include at least 2 cricut cuts on your project.  This purse would be ideal for a gift card or note cards.
