Sweet Gingerbread Card

The Cricut Circle's Challenge: We all have them in one form or another . . . flowers! Most of the time we buy them in a package, use a few, tuck them away and then forget that we have them. This week’s challenge we want you to shop your stash and incorporate purchased flowers into your project, whether it’s a card, layout, home decor item, etc. Be sure to include at least 2 Cricut Image Cuts on your project.

Cricut Cuts: Gingerbread - Enjoy the Seasons

Phrase -  Beyond Birthdays

Base - Elegant Edges

Images Flood filled with Enjoy the Seasons Imagine Cartridge

Easy Treat Box

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog's weekly challenge this week is to create a project with the words "thank you" or "thanks".  I made this large tag for a pre-made treat box (the box was 50 cents.. how can you go wrong?).  I will be making a mini loaf of pumpkin bread today and package this up to give our neighbor Miss Sandy.

Turkey is from Create A Critter, "Thanks" from Opposites Attract,
Tag Base and colors Imagine More

I have to say.. this project many not seem like much.  BUT I used Cricut Craft Room and was able to get my Imagine to CUT!  I even change the size of the pre designed image from the Imagine More cartridge.  I am just giddy- 

Santa's Work is Never Done

I was looking at my Peachy Keen Stamps to design a card for their Sketch Challenge # 65.  For this challenge, follow the sketch and paper piece your stamps.  I have this darling train set, PK-242, and thought it would be fun to paper piece.  Santa gets bored driving a sleigh.. so sometimes he drives a train.  He can, HE IS SANTA!

LFIF- Holiday Recipe Challenge

The Challenge :We want YOU to create a card or a layout holding your favorite holiday recipe! Include your Peachy Keen Faces to enter the challenge. Here is the Link for the Peachy Keen Let's Face It Friday Challenge.
Holiday?  I think of my mom's doctored up Jello recipes.  She has passed away but I always make one for a Holiday celebration.  The recipe card is written by my dear mom and can be taken off this 8 by 8 scrapbook page.

Face Stamps: PK-450 Wide Eyed Kids...
Love that devilish face on the Lime, because he is sour and tangy.

Frosty Layout

The Challenge: Borders can be simple & sweet, elegantly detailed, masculine, or playful . . . and they can be that perfect final touch to add to your project. We want you to make a run for the border . . . your Cricut Borders, that is. Create a projects of your choice and include a Cricut Border cut somewhere on your project. Be sure to include at least 2 Total Cricut Image Cuts on your project.

I used my Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake for the icicle borders and the cute Snowman is from the same cartridge.  The phrase "frosty" is layered to make it look like chipboard is from Winter Woodland.

Journal tag is behind the photo.

Scarf was made with ribbon, just covered the die cut with ATG tape. Face stamp is from Peachy Keen Stamps.

Fall Centerpiece

The Cricut Circle's November Challenge: Signs of Fall with Texture Challenge!
The Challenge: Create a project of any kind using your “sign/sybmol” of fall (remember, this can be any fall item that brings that fall feeling to you). You also must include some way of adding texture to your project. Whether you use a cuttlebug, distress the edges, ink, stickles, etc. Your project must include at least 2 different Cricut cuts

Here is a centerpiece that will be on the kid's table this Thanksgiving.  (I have a large family and STILL sit at the kid's table... I am at ease eating with black olives on my fingers and sitting on chairs that are made for children under five. ha, ha, ) 

The crow's face looks similar to mine after cooking the Thanksgiving dinner.

Cricut Cuts:

Crow-  Imagine More

Sign- Home Accents

Hay Bale- sweet tooth boxes, wrapped with raffia

Stamp- My Pink Stamper, Happiest Moments set

Oh Boy! Mini Album

My Pink Stamper's November blog hop is ON!  After the hop, you can make a project for the November 2011 Pinkalicious Challenge.  For the Challenge, make a scrapbook page or mini album by SUNDAY night.  I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could get a mini done Saturday afternoon (and evening).  Here is what I came up with using my My Pink Stamper "Boy Crazy" stamp set and "B is for Boy" Cricut cartridge.

Oh Boy!- from Mickey Font

This is my favorite page- Love the Peachy Keen face and "Vroom Vroom" Cozy Coupe.
