Imagine DT Creation

My best friend was the one who pushed me to get the imagine so I decided that I had to make him a nice card with it to show him my appreciation.  I found this CUTE image on Nursery Tails that fit the occasion perfectly!  I am having so much fun using the imagine machine.  I love the quality of the images that it produces.  It is also so simple to use :) 

For this image, I printed the image flat and then printed the layers for the animals and the reeds.  I used used foam dots to give the card dimension.  One foam dot was used for the animals and two were stacked to add even more dimension to the reeds.  Enjoy!

CC Monthly Challenge #1

As promised, here is the CC blog monthly challenge.  The challenge was to make a scrapbook layout or home decor item with the theme of "Celebrating Creativity."  You had to use the shadow feature (which I used on the font), embellishments, and patterned paper.  I decided to make a home decor item to give to a friend who enjoys putting out decorative books and photo albums on her coffee table.  I bought a cheap photo album and covered it in pink paper.  I then decorated it with my cut out images and embellishments :)

Enjoy!

CC Weekly Challenge

Well, it has been a day filled with the imagine around here!  I have made a few projects to share, and I can't wait :)  The first two projects are for the Cricut Circle blog weekly and monthly challenge.  I am going to put them in separate posts so they are not so long!  Let's hop right to it and start off with the weekly challenge, shall we...

This week's challenge was to make something using pink and two other features from a list which I choose jewels and scallops off of.  I used the Best Friends cart and the imagine to create this cute little card!  Foam squares were used to add dimension as well :) 

Enjoy and I will post the monthly challenge project in a few minutes!

IT'S FRIDAY!!!  You know what that means....crafting time :)  WOOHOO!!!  I am so excited to play around with the imagine a little bit more and have fun making some other projects!  This afternoon I decided to start off with my Throwback Thursday Challenge for My Creative Time.  You had to make a shape card using Create-a-Critter and use orange. 

I have to make a confession that I have never used the Cricut to make a shape card.  I know...*gasp*!  I do not own a gypsy and the design studio and I have just never gotten along.  Today I decided that the expression and I had to try and make peace with the design studio and here was the result.  I am pleased and think that I will have to work on some more shape cards soon :)  Hip-hippo-ray!  The challenge was a success!!!!

Enjoy!

Imagine :)

I hope everyone is having a great week!  My imagine arrived yesterday and I was so excited!!!!  I will still be posting regular cricut projects as well, but here is one of the first projects I created with the imagine :)  I used my favorite Create a Critter!  The scalloped imagine in the back is on the machine, and I filled it in with a pattern from Nursery Tails.  I have not had too much time to mess around with the imagine yet, as I have conferences this week, but I can't wait to explore some more.  I also added a little glitter glue on the flower stems and am going to add it to the My Pink Stamper "Bling it Up" Imagine challenge from last week.  Enjoy!
