CC Weekly Challenge #38

This week the Cricut Circle is having a vacation challenge.  I am REALLY behind on my scrapbook, and decided that this was the perfect time to start on my New York Scrapbook. I always like to do a fun page at the front of my scrapbooks so here is the title page I came up with for this book.  Happily, I can say that I also got about 5 more pages of the book done :)   Enjoy!

Picnic Time!

This months challenge over at the Cricut Circle is to make a project using the theme of BBQ, picnic, or patio.  You also must incorporate some gingham or checker pattern.  


I had a hard time deciding which to use, but I settled on a picnic theme.  I really love the way the basket turned out :)  Now I want to go on a picnic!!!  


I am also entering this into the Cooking with Cricut: Anything Goes challenge.  Enjoy!

Is it winter or spring???

Wow!  I am not sure whether it is winter or spring here!?! By the looks of the snow falling out the window it is winter here.  We are suppose to get about 8".  Yuck!  So here is a nice springy project that I made.  I used it to hold candy and gift cards.  Hope you enjoy and are finding nice spring weather by you :)

Sweet Baby!

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  I have not made a scrapbook page in so long, but one of my teaching partners is having a baby boy and I thought it would be fun to make her a lo.  I used the animals from New Arrival to make this simple lo.  I really love how it turned out!  Hope you all have a great night!

Sweet!

It's official...I have decided that I am challenge crazy.  As I was suppose to be packing last Friday to leave within hours I decided that I had to super quickly make my entry for the Cricut Circle challenge.  I was able to get it made and got packed just in time, but have not had internet until last night.  So the challenge is to make something with the Cricut Imagine.  Here is what I came up with.  Hope you enjoy and have a great week!

Leprechaun comes to school tomorrow!

The leprechaun comes tomorrow!  Woohoo!  The mischievous little leprechaun always seems to make his way into my classroom.  He usually leaves little tracks (Q-tip prints with green paint) around the room and the kids think it is so cool.  To try and make up for his mess, the leprechaun leaves gold coins (from Jo-Ann Fabrics) with a note for the children.  It is a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick's day in the classroom.  I made a little bucket for the leprechauns coins this year and am going to put it in the Cricut Circle Challenge.  I hope the leprechaun finds you tomorrow!

Gift Card Holder

Here is my submission to the weekly Cricut Circle Challenge.  The challenge this week was to make something with a fairytale person (princess, gnome, etc.) on it and use at least 2 cuts.  I made a cute gift card holder from the Best Friends Imagine Cartridge and added a princess.  The purse is cut at 10.5" and is the perfect size to fit a gift card inside!  Enjoy!

Cricut Everyday Box

Hello Everyone!  I was so excited to have a snow craft day today!!!!  My first project of the day was to make something for the Cricut Circle Magazine Challenge.  The challenge was to make something with the Cricut Everyday cartridge, use 3 cuts, and make it something that would be used to define yourself at meet-ups or crops. 

I have not been able to go to any of the meet-ups due to costs yet, but I really hope that one day I will be able to attend one.  So I decide to recycle my box that the cartridge was sent in and make a storage for calling cards or other items that I may collect at a meet-up one day :)  I really like how it turned out!  Enjoy!

CC Ornament

Here is an ornament I made for the Cricut Circle ornament challenge.  The challenge was to make an ornament with 4 cuts on the Cricut and another Provo Craft tool.  I choose to use the Cuttlebug for my other tool. 

I really wanted to make something 3D so here is what I came up with!  The snowflakes are all from the When It's Cold Outside cartridge.  I picked my favorite snowflake and cut the black out version twice and the overlay 4 times all at 4".  I then put the overlay on both sides of the blackout version and cut slits up the middle to be able to connect them together.  I used embossing powder to cover the paper and make it a shiny snowflake!!!  I then cut 3 smaller snowflakes from 3/4" to 1.5" and embossed them with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder.  They are hanging from the large snowflakes with fishing wire.  I really like the finished product and the look that the embossing I did gave the ornament!  I am officially in the Christmas mood :)

Enjoy!

Birthdays :)

Happy Halloween!  I am trying to spend my time getting some cards done before trick or treating starts around here.  This is my Cricut Circle sketch challenge creation.  You had to turn into a birthday theme which was perfect because I need 2 birthday cards for friends this week.  Here is what I came up with using George cart and Once Upon a Princess cart.  I first made the one with no embossing and decided it need a little more texture so I made another using the cuttlebug! 

This is also my submission for The Crafty Calendar Challenge who is also having a birthday theme challenge :)

Enjoy!
