My Peachy Castle

I found this blank chipboard album at the Peachy Keen and thought it would be a fun project to decorate. Since the base is cut for you, you can get to the fun of decorating your castle.  I used my Cricut to make most of the embellishments and added my Peachy Keen stamps to give the cuts some extra personality.

Front Cover, I used Sweet Tooth Boxes for window
frames but needed to customize the size with my Gypsy.

Draw bridge is open to welcome you... or you can use
Rapunzel's hair to enter, LOL

Love that silly face on the crown from the
PK-293 The Cornies Face Assortment

The dragon is the dino from Create a Critter with wings from a bat cut.
(I wanted him to match my paper... his dragon friend is in the left castle window)
His eye is from PK-140 Teddy Bear and Reindeer Face Parts.

Love the girl cuts on Once Upon a Princess cricut cartridge
with the PK-640 Princess Face Assortment

Removable journal card is behind the base of the Princess

The bows are from PK-225 Happy Flowers and Cheerful Phrases.
The face on the wand is from the same set.
The pink base folds out for 3 photo mats if you remove the paper clip.

The carriage is from Formal Occasion Cricut Cartridge
and is used to hold photo mats

I hoped you enjoyed the long, picture heavy,  "royal" tour of the castle.  Enjoy your week!

Saint Patrick's Day Treat Box

I made a Saint Patrick's Day Treat Box using my new Peachy Keen stamp set, Kiss Me Leprechaun.  I place the leprechaun on a "milk carton" that I cut with my Cricut.  The shamrock pattern paper started off at just plain tan card stock.  I used the Lucky Day Shamrock A2 size background stamp to add all those cute shamrocks.

Cricut Cuts:
Milk Carton (hide the windows)- Sweet Tooth Boxes, cut at 10 in
Clover- Give a Hoot, cut at 3 in
Frame- Elegant Edges, cut at 3 in

Love Frame

It is challenge me Monday again at the Fantabulous Cricut blog.  For this challenge use a label shape other than a plain circle.  For my frame I used Elegant Edges and layered the shape so it would be sturdy. "Love" is from Sweethearts cricut cartridge.  The angel is a stamp set from Peachy Keen, PKSC-01 January 2012.  The wings are at the $1.50 bins at Micheals and I like the vintage feel they give the angel.

Take Out Gift Box

Looking for a clever way to wrap a pair of earrings for a friend's birthday, I found this take out box cut on the Sweet Tooth Boxes Cricut Cartridge.  I just love how it turned out and even made a paper fortune cookie for a "card".  For the cookie, I just cut a circle with my Cricut and folded it like you would a fortune cookie.  This in my entry in the Cricut Circle's December Monthly Challenge, a gift wrap challenge.

2012 Desk Calendar

This started with a sketch which I thought would make a nice calendar.  The sketch appeared in the Cricut Circle's exclusive magazine that offered a challenge to use the sketch with your Cricut.  The base started as a piece of 12 by 12 piece of chipboard.  I cut this to 6 by 12 and folded this in half cutting some box lids from Sweet Tooth Boxes at 11.25 inches that fit on the ends.  Two binder rings are used to hold the calendar pages and I weighted the inside of the base with sand sealed in a plastic bag.  Each month has tag with its name on it that can be pulled out to keep track of important dates.

These months follow the sketch, February more closely.  Seasonal Cuts are from Simply Charmed, the USA hat is from Independence day

Base with Sweet Tooth Boxes used to cover ends.
