Think Pink, Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #2

Here is my entry for the challenge.  You must make a project with any 3 of the following:  pink, ruffles, scallops, flourishes, glitter, and jewels.  I made this card with the Slumber Party Lite cartridge and chose pink, jewels, and scallops.

Seasonal Candy Jar Topper I, Cricut Circle Monthy Challenge Entry

Here is my entry for the Cricut Circle Blog's Monthly Challenge.  Their challenge was to design a scrapbook page or home decoration project with the theme "Celebrating Creativity".  I didn't know what to make.  I wasn't going to enter the challenge because I could not think of anything to make.  Then I had some inspiration while shopping.  I thought this candy jar needed to be decorated  with a seasonal topper.  And don't stop there, I plan to make one for every season.  I can just picture switching the color on the sunflower to reds and it can be a poinsettia for Christmas.  So, look forward to more candy jar toppers because I am on a creative roll with this idea.

Miss Skunk is ready for the Throwback Thursday Challenge

Here is Miss Skunk with her orange polka-dot bow ready to party.  She is stinkin cute!  Wouldn't you agree?  She is made from Create A Critter and was made for a challenge that Emma is holding on her blog,
http://www.creativetimeforme.com.  The Challenge was to make a shape card with Create A Critter and add some orange to the mix.  I used my pink stamper stamp set Punny-licious.

The Sadow Box had Babies

I had extra parts from my shadow box so I made these mini shadow boxes for Peachy Keen Stamps' Challenge #38.  The challenge was and October theme, no cards.  The ghost's face is from PK-570 and the eyes on the multi-eyed slimey monster are from PK-754.  All images were cut from my cricut.  The cuts are popped up with clear plastic packaging.  I like how they appear to float in the boxes.

Halloween Shadow Box

Here is another project over at http://paperphenomenon.blogspot.com  .  Kathy really thought outside the box on this project.  It was fun to make.  So much fun because I kept putting it together upside down.  I cannot tell you how many layers of paper are on the cover.  The 3-D objects were found at the local 99 cent store.  My important "eye of newt" bottle was formally a container for embossing powder.  Super fun project!  You should make one or use the idea for other seasons or special memories.

Backpack Mini Album x 3

These cute backpack mini albums are made from lunch bags, chipboard, paper, cricut machine cuts, and HOT GLUE BABY.  The design is from Kathy at  http://paperphenomenon.blogspot.com/   Kathy is my hot glue guru.  Someday I will not burn myself with the darn hot glue.   I chopped the spine off of Kathy's pattern  because I could not get the pages to lay flat when they were open.   The lunch boxes were made with each girl in mind.  Peace, Love, and Music cut is from Rock Princess and is on a purple lunch box.  Another lunch box has Sponge Bob on the front..  There is a pink lunch box that is not photographed that has a pink butterfly for a gal who loves pink.



pocket has locker tags that fold open and a "school id"




The pencil is a flap and connects to a mat that slides into the lunch bag pockets.  The bus and sandwich are made the same way




Peanut butter and grape (stickle) jelly added to sandwich.  A cow stamp is on the milk carton



this shows that base of the book after it's spine removal, ouch!



Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge, Dear Santa

Here is my scrapbook page for the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge.  The challenge was to use 2 cuts, a shadow cut, bling, and the French Manor cartridge.  French Manor- window and window layer @ 6.5 inch, stamp boarder @ 1 inch (make 4, flipping 2 and welding to make frame).  Winter Frolic- Santa, phrase and phrase shadow @ 3 inch.  Martha Stewart Branch punch was used for the greens on Santa's house.  I used a Christmas card front for the Santa that is peeking out of his French Manor window.  Don't tell my dog, but it looks like Santa has an orange cat sitting by the fire.
