Time for a new week and new fun-filled challenge. If you are a Cricut FANATIC then join us over at the FANTABULOUS CRICUT CHALLENGE BLOG.
P.S. - Friends have also urged me to submit this to some challenge blogs looking for a Spring theme. I've also submitted this to the All Sorts Challenge Blog and the Paper Play Challenge.
Also, be sure to click on over and take a look at the other Fantabulous DT members' creations. Their creative work will inspire you to make something for our second challenge. This week's challenge calls for you to make a design with your Cricut using:
♥ Create an Easter project using pastel colors.
My project for this theme is pictured here. I call it - "Springtime Lollipop Bouquet"
I used the following cartridges on this project:
♥ Straight from the Nest
♥ Songbird
♥ Storybook
I first started out with a simple cardboard box. Use whatever size you'd like.I then covered it in scrapbook paper on all sides. Afterwards, I covered the paper with various embellishments to match the theme. I cut out the birds on the front of the box using the "Straight from the Nest" cartridge. I cut out the bird with the signpost using the "Songbird" cartridge. To make the signpost stand up better I cut out the same exact shape and glued it to my paper for better stability.
For the lettering I used the "Storybook" cartridge and cut out cute words to go along with the theme. To add some fun to the bird's tail I used a flower embellishment and put some bling in the middle.
In the middle of the box is a styrofoam cube that I purchased at Michael's craft store. You need the styrofoam to make the lollipops stand up straight in the box. I also purchased the Easter themed lollipops and the pink grass from Walmart. So get those creative juices flowing and take part in the FANTABULOUS CRICUT CHALLENGE this week.
Have a great week of creating!
