Altered Box

My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge this week is to use an older Cricut cartridge and alter an item with your ciruct cuts.  Alter an item? Sounds fun to me! I went strolling through my kid's piles of ignored items littering the playroom.  I found this wooden box was was looking a little un-loved.  I took the heart off and stained the wood with tea dye distress ink.  My car cut is from Billionaire. The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Cherish This Moment stamp set... perfect for my "fancy" car.

The before- Poor lonely box!

Silly Rabbit

It is Throwback Thursday Challenge Time over at My Creative Time.  I made this silly rabbit card and used my very first My Creative Time stamp that I purchased, Color Me Happy.  I used my Letter Envy Cricut cartridge for the base behind the rabbit.  The rabbit is from the Just a Note cartridge and I cut a tag from the Sentimentals cartridge to fit my stamp  perfectly. 

Smile Card

Happy Saturday!  I just finished a "cricut less" project for My Creative Time's Challenge.  I find it hard not to use my Cricut.  The main stamp for this card is from Peachy Keen, PK-563 Garden Wheelies and the "smile" is from My Creative Time Cherish This Moment stamp set.

Bug Notebook

It is Throwback Thursday at My Creative Time again and here is my "bug" project.  For this challenge, you must create a project using and older cartridge with a bug theme.  My bug is the Cricut Bug from Cricut Everyday cartridge.  The base is the scallop square from Mini Monograms.   The sentiment stamp is from MCT's My Favorite Sayings.

Valentine's Day Challenge

Here is my card for the Throwback Thursday Challenge at My Creative Time.  For this challenge use any Cricut Cartridge and make a Valentine's Day Card.  I used A Child's Year Cricut cartridge and MCT stamp set "My Favorite Sayings" on this card.

Throwback Thursday Sports Challenge

For this challenge you can make any project with a sports theme cricut cartridge and link to My Creative Time's blog, HERE.  If you participate in this challenge, you have an chance to win her ENTIRE new product release.  How cool is that? 

Here is my "Sporty Hello Kitty".  I used my Gypsy with Hello Kitty Greetings and Sports Mania Cricut Cartridges.  In Hello Kitty's soccer league, they prefer to have soccer balls with paw prints on them.  (I just love the paw print from Any day Bingo & Crossword.)  The sentiment is from My Favorite Sayings.  My daughter is going to freak out when she comes home from school because last night she asked me for a Hello Kitty notebook after finding one that I was using to store my sketches. 

Me, Me, Me!

My Creative Time is hosting her Throwback Thursday Challenge and one lucky winner that enters the challenge will win her entire stamp release on November 18!  The challenge is to use a "kid friendly" cartridge such as Disney, Nursery Tales, A Child's Year.. and  make any theme project of your choice.  I was looking at My Creative Time's "My Favorite Sayings," stamps set and thought I could use it for my gorgeous Queen of Hearts. She is extra pretty because she is rockin her blue eye shadow. I masked the lower portion of the stamp and replaced with die cuts of the word "me".  Although, I am sure the Queen of Hearts enjoys crafting, caffeine, and chocolate... who wouldn't?

Halloween Memory Frame

OK... I am super excited about this-  I was checking my crafty friend's blogs on Monday and what do I find?  My Creative Time is having a Design Team Call!!! Forgetting that it is "Laundry Day" at my house, I reached for my stamps and thought about a project that would showcase them. (and make a gift for Auntie Laura too)  Here is my entry:

Here is the fur baby Fletcher, dressed as the Flying ACE Snoopy

Stamp is from "My Favorite Sayings", Sunflower is the die from Build a Banner Kit

Fletcher's Tongue is always sticking out, LOL
Paw Stamp- Anyday Bingo & Crossword

Recipe:

Wild Card Cricut Cartridge- Halloween Card, 4 in., layers to match.  I flipped one card and welded the square part on my Gypsy.  This would work without welding.  Just layer the cards.  I cut 4 welded shapes and sandwiched them together with glue.

Leaves for Sunflowers- Wild Card, 4 in.

Banner for Stamp - Wild Card, Frame button 42, 1.25 in

Spellbinders Oval Scallop Die for frame around photo

Flowers- My Creative Time's Build a Banner Kit

Stamps- My Creative Time's: Anyday Bingo & Crossword, My Favorite Sayings. 



Throwback Thursday Challenge- Halloween Card

The Challenge this week was to use a card feature on an older Cricut cartridge with a Halloween theme.  The card shape is from the Going Places cartridge. I made a banner with the Dies from My Creative Time's Build a Banner Kit.  The little ghost and font is from the My Creative Time's Anyday Bingo and Crossword stamp set.

Back 2 School

Most of my crafty friends have moved on to another seasonal event... BUT I found Recess Lite marked down so I had to play with my new cartridge.  I made my scrapbook page following the sketch provided by Peachy Keen for their Sketch Challenge # 62.

Throwback Thursday Challenge

This week's Throwback Thursday Challenge is to use a Cricut font cartridge.  If you were Cricut fan back in the day, you might remember QVC having an exclusive cartridge called Cuttin' Up.  Cuttin' Up is a great chunky font but it also has some great cuts like this baby rattle.  I added my Anyday Bingo & Crossword stamp set from My Creative Time to make a baby card.

Hello Kitty Mini

This little mini album was made to capture the upcoming school photos for my daughter.  I cut the bags and tags from Platin Schoolbook cricut cartridge, cutting off the handles of the inner bags.  The cover bags were made sturdy by cutting some lightweight chipboard and gluing inside the pocket.  This is my entry for Cricut Circle Blog's Weekly Challenge #39, A-B-C, 1-2-3 Challenge. (A) pop of (B)right (C)olor as well as 1 of something, 2 of something...  These were hard rules from me but that is what a challenge is for, right?  So my "pop" of color is the robin's egg blue that pops on each page.  My 1-2-3: one Cuttlebug folder, only two cartridges, and three stickers.

Cover, MPS stamps on books

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #58

Just follow the sketch at the Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge for a chance to win some darling elf stamps from their Christmas collection.  I cut an orange slice right out of the patterned paper and put a cute peachy keen face on the slice.  How easy is that?

The Owl Post

We have been having Harry Potter marathons this summer... I bet a lot of families have been doing the same.  This cute owl is from the retired cricut cartridge Happily Ever After.  I am liking this idea as you can send your personal "owl post message" with a sentiment stamp and tuck goodies inside the pillow box.  (No howlers, please.)  This is my entry in My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge.  The challenge is to use a retired cricut cartridge, join the fun!

Have A Great Day!

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer, I just got school forms for the kids school, sob...  The card base follows the sketch on Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge # 57.  My worm is from Walk in My Garden (but I chopped some of his body off to match the sketch, ouch.) and his face is from PK-754 Critter Faces Set A Medium.  The sentiment stamp is from My Creative Time's My Favorite Sayings set.  Thanks for stopping by my little blog.

Throwback Thursday Challenge with Just Because Cards

For this Throwback Thursday Challenge you must use Just Because cards (or Wild card) cartridge and incorporate some emossing.  I love the look of embossing and plan to.. then I forgot :(  But, no worries, I was able to take the tag off my card and dry emboss it with my cuttlebug.  I like how that accents my stamp.

I love Soda Card

Oh, I love Soda... with all its caffeine and bubbles, yum.  I am a total Diet Coke nut.  I made this card for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge, where she asked you to make a project with any cricut lite cartridge and include some bling.  I used Slumber Party Lite for my sweet soda bottle and paired the cut with a stamp "My Favorite Sayings" from My Creative Time.

Green and Yellow Dump Truck Card

It is Throwback Thursday at My Creative Time.  For this challenge use Green and Yellow and any older cartridge of your choice.  This truck is from Mickey and Friends.  I made this card for a boy who will soon be a new big brother, got to celebrate that!  The stamps are from My Creative Time's Color Me Happy set and My Pink Stamper's Family and Friends. 

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!)
