Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #12 - "Shower the Baby"

Happy Memorial Day to all of you Vets and men and women serving

our country. I salute you all!

Now it's time for another great challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut. This week's theme is "Shower the Baby". You are to create a project with your Cricut that has something to do with a baby shower.

I made these baby girl placemats for my friend Katelyn's shower. Several of these will be placed on each table. I will also add centerpieces, pink and white balloons, and other baby girl decor.

To make this I used:

♥ My "New Arrival" Cricut cartridge

♥ Circle patterened paper by Creative Imaginations

♥ bling "girl" and glitter flower embellishments

♥ googly eyes

♥ cardstock

♥ pink ribbon

Be sure to hop on over to Fantabulous Cricut and link up your project today!

Have a Creative Week!

It's Sketch Time at Practical Scrappers

It's Sketch time over at Practical Scrappers!

Here's the wonderful sketch designed by my fellow design team member Pia!

Here's my take on the sketch!

These are photos of a crop night that I went to with Jennifer and Carolyn. I can't believe I finished another layout. I'm on a roll! I love the black ribbon that I found to go on this one. It dresses it up a bit.

If you want to join in the fun then hop on over to Practical Scrappers and submit your take on this sketch!

Have a Happy Saturday!

All Dressed Up!

Woo Hoo I finally finished a layout. It's a miracle.....smile. I've been working on cards and altered projects so much that I am way behind on layouts. I'm trying to finish all of my daughter's prom pictures. Rebekah's prom was last May. I'm a whole year behind. Thank God I'm off this summer to finish up my albums.

I cut out the ladies on this layout using my Forever Young Cricut cartridge. I used various patterned paper, flower embellies, a patterned tag, and cardstock for this one. I also used Stickles on the words.

I love Bekah's dress! It's in yellow...my favorite color! Sorry I'm so late with your album Bek! I'll have it finished by the time you come home for summer vacation. I promise!

I also want to send out a THANK YOU to some crafty friends who have motivated me to do more layouts. I absolutely love, love, love all of the beautiful layouts by these talented scrappers:

♥ Barb - Crafty Girl
♥ Val - Crafty Go Lucky
♥ Debbie - Love Life's Little Pleasures
♥ Nana - Younique Reflections
♥ Kim - Memories in Thyme

Thank you ladies for the inspiration. If you have time please check out their layouts.

I also found out about another fun challenge blog called "Scrap It With A Song". Their challenge this week is called - "Sweet Child O' Mine".  I have submitted this layout for their challenge. I hope to join in on more of their contests!

Happy Scrappin!

Baby Giraffe Fun!

It's time to hop on over to Practical Scrappers
for another great challenge this week.

Break out your felt, fabric, or tulle for this one and create a project to submit. The deadline to is Saturday, May 29th. The Grand Prize is your choice
of three digis from Wink Wink Ink.

 

Here's my take on the challenge. I made a gift bag for a baby shower. I cut the giraffe, the tag, and the "for you" sentiment using the "New Arrival" Cricut cartridge. I accented the bag with K & Company Wood Dye flowers and topped them with yellow buttons. To finish off the bag, I added brown tulle, yellow ribbon, brown gingham ribbon, and a "smile" chipboard tag.

Now it's your turn to hop on over to Practical Scrappers and submit your project.

Happy Scrappin'

Posh and Polka Dots!

I love making altered notebooks and wanted to design something with pink, black and polka dots.

Hope you like what I came up with.

I also heard about another great challenge blog called The Shabby Tea Room. Their design team work is beautiful. This week they are having a "Polka Dot Tea Party" challenge. I had to join in on the fun and submitted my "BFF Polka Dot" altered notebook. Check them out when you have time!

I also love the fun challenge going on at Pile it On this week.
There challenge is called - "Out of the Box"
I think my project qualifies so I wanted to join in on their challenge too.

To make this one I took an ordinary spiral notebook and decorated the cover with patterned paper, button embellishments, and sticker embellies from TPC Studio's Girlfriends collection. I also added different types of ribbon including pink tulle, black scrunchie ribbon, and pink spiral ribbon.

I decorated the inside pages with black polka dot border at the top and bottom of each page. On the very first page I also tied more pink spiral ribbon and added a polka dot button. This is a great gift idea to give to your BFF's!

Challenges:
♥ The Shabby Tea Room
♥ Pile It On

Monkeys love Flowers Too!

It's a Fantabulous Monday and that means a new Fantabulous Cricut challenge begins today.

The challenge - #11 Flowers for May:

Create a project using at least 3 flowers on your project.

Of course there does need to be a cricut cut image somewhere on the project.

I flowered up my card for this challenge by making my monkey out of flower patterened paper. I also added 3 chipboard flowers sprinkled with glitter (to add some bling to the card).

I cut my monkey using my Create a Critter Cricut cartridge.

I also added other monkey themed chipboard embellishments to finish off the card. I wanted to keep the card with feminine elements to it.  I think I'll give this card to a little girl celebrating a birthday or just for fun.

Now it's your turn. Hop on over to Fantabulous Cricut and submit your project. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Have a great Creative Week!
