Cup of Tea

Hello! I made this tea cup card for a Color Challenge at the Imaginisce blog. Here are the colors to work with:

For my project, the pattern paper is from the Good Dog paper collection. I was attracted to this paper because of the adorable dog images. The tea cup card is from the Silhouette online store, 3 piece tea cup card.

Flower cut- Cricut, Flower Shop

Doily- Cricut Elegant Edges

Butterfly Stamp- Peachy Keen Stamps

Cricut Circle Art Inspiration Challenge

For National Scrapbook Day the Cricut Circle Blog has some great Challenges.  This challenge they wanted you to make a project inspired by a piece of art.  I was drawn the the rose and the shabby chic design.  I cut the bag with my Cricut Imagine from the Imagine More Cards.  I cut a tag from Jubilee (because I feel sorry for that cartridge... it is cute... I should use it more.) And added a tag on top from layers on a tag from the Imagine More Cards.  The rose was cut from Flower Shoppe with tan cardstock and inked the edges of the rose so match the design on the paper.

Present Time

This week at Fantabulous Cricut, the Challenge is make a gift, create something with which to package a gift, or use a gift cut on your project.  I decided to decorate a gift box for a white elephant gift exchange.  The bow is from Something to Celebrate.  Pine cones are cut from Flower Shoppe using the heart shaped edge spiral cut and rolled in a cone shape on a  tooth pic.  The pine cone silhouette tag is from Joys of the Season. Who would know there is the ugliest snowman pin with devil eyes all wrapped up on the inside, (he, he).

Sweet Witch Shoes

Here is another project for the Cricut Circle's Blogiversary.  The Challenge: Create a project of your choice using your Cuttlebug machine as the main focus. Your project must include at least 2 different Cricut Image Cuts. 
This is an easy favor to make with just one cut from Princess Party and a buckle form Fabulous Finds Cricut cartridges.  For a more sensible witch shoe, I cut a 1 1/2 in circle to make a closed toe shoe and glued the circle at the base of the shoe folding it to cover the open toe.  I cut the purple rose from flower shoppe.  The shoe cut was cut at seven inches.  I cut another shoe and cut the surfaces that show on the outside of the shoe to roll through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder.  The buckle was de-bossed with Tiny Bubbles folder to give it a hammer metal look.

A Squirrelly Fall Banner

I made this Fall Squirrel Banner to add to the fall decorations in my home.  I keep forgetting about the pre-loaded cartridges that came with the Anniversary Edition of the E2 Cricut machine.  I found this squirrel on the Just a Note cartridge.  The squirrel couple have the sweetest faces from the PK-450 Wide Eyed Kids Face Assortment.  I took a marker and made a little button nose as it seemed more animal like.  I colored my leaves with watercolor pencils and added some distress ink.   This is my entry for Peachy Keen's LFIF Leaves Challenge.

Fall Door Hanger

This was a fun project to make.  I made this project for the Challenge Me Monday at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  This week the challenge is to use leaves on your project, perfect for fall.  My first thought was to make a scrapbook page but I found this door hanger acorn frame at the 99 cent store.  I knew I could make some leaves and flowers with my Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge.  The leaves were cut with tan card stock and I went to town on them with my watercolor pencils.

They had some bat and pumpkin ones too... I need to make it back before they sell out.

Cathy's Spider

My sister in  law hates spiders... BUT who would hate this sweet girly spider?  I was making some flowers with the Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge and some reminded me of pom poms.  I am reliving my youth and making a "paper pom-pom" spider.  She lives on this bucket I found in the dollar section at Target.  I added the vellum inside and added a battery operated votive.

To make the spider, cut two spiral flowers and roll.  Sandwich between a spider cut of your choice.  I used Doodle Charm's spider.  I cut a smaller flower for the head.
