This weeks challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut  is make a shape card. I love making shape cards so of course I am taking up the challenge. One of the cutest cartridges I own is the Nate's ABC's cartridge. So, I decided to create a shape card using on of their images.  Check it out below: Till Next time!

It's been a long while since I've posted anything. I guess I've been on a crafting break. Sometime that's needed before you can get your mojo back? Well, I decided to go ahead and try a Fantabulous Cricut Challenge. Finished just in time to get it entered for this week. Their challenge this week was to create a project with an outdoor (or indoor) scene. One of the other goals that I have had was to actually try recreating one of the layouts that I have pinned to my Pinterest page. So, first I will show you the original project, which was created by  Monique Griffith  and pinned to my Pinterest board. Then my project. Original Check out my project below: This project used the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge for all cricut cuts. The paper is DCWV. Thanks for viewing!

Well, I'm on the other side of the challenges now for the Fantabulous Cricut blog! I was looking to make something for my daughter's teachers and the FCCB challenge this week gave me the motivation I needed. The challenge was to use your cricut to make or at least embellish a 3d project. I decided to make a reusable calender. I used a tutorial that I found on the Scor-pal blog. The paper comes from DCWV's The Green Stack, The boxes were cut using the Wrap It Up Cricut Cartridge, the numbers came from A Child's Year cart, and the title comes from the Graphically Speaking cart. Till next time,

Well the Birthday Sketch-a-thon at  My Scraps and More  is finished and I thought I'd show you the rest of the layouts I did for it. The challenge was to use two different fonts, so I used my cricut cartridge Storybook for the two diff kinds of font. The challenge was to use two buttons and I put mine in the upper right corner and the lower left corner. The flag shapes come from the Lovely Floral Cricut Cartridge and the paper is DCWV The Rustic Stack. The challenge was to use chipboard, so I used chipboard titles. The paper is DCWV The Kidlet stack and Sunday Afternoon. The challenge was to use a punch so I used a Martha Stewart border punch to make the half frames for the base of the picture. The paper is DCWV The Garden Tea Party Stack. The title is stamped on a tag and embossed with crinkle ribbon for added embellishment. The challenge was to use two titles. So I put Little Lady in the upper left corner and Smile right beneath the pic...

I used the colors and the polka dots as my inspiration for this layout. The paper comes from the DCWV The Kidlet Stack adn I used trendy twine o the tags for added embellishment.
