Cricut Circle Blog Weekly Challenge and FCCB

Hello....  Nothing like submitting a card in the last moments! LOL!  Here is a card I did for the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge (needs to be postd in less than an hour!) and for the FCCB challenge as well.  I am not thrilled with how this turned out, but I simply ran out of time.   The rules of the Circle challenge are as follows:    We challenge you to incorporate white paint, metal, and a snowflake cut on your project this week.  The requirements for the challenge at FCCB is to incorporate some kind of winter clothing/accessory, hence the hat and gloves!!  (Oh... I found my samples of Action Wobbles so I cut one down to fit under the hat.  I REALLY like those little things!!) Maybe when I see this card in the daylight I will like it better! LOL!  Well.... here's the card.  If you leave a comment, please don't be too hard on me.  :)
Happy Crafting!!

Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge

Hello everyone!!  Another Christmas has come and gone... wow, hard to believe. Only a few more days until 2011, that is simply amazing! I wanted to show you one of the projects I did in December for the Cricut Circle Challenge.  I was so busy working on things, that I never got a chance to post.  Here is the challenge description:

The theme for this month’s challenge is geared towards helping you cross off one of the names on your holiday gift list! Please create a Holiday Gift Item. Project must be newly created for this challenge and should include the following elements to qualify: use a tag made with a cartridge (there are so many great tags on so many cartridges), use the color red somewhere, use ribbon, and use the Phrase Feature from one of the cartridges.

This was a perfect challenge since it really did help take care of one of the teacher gifts I had planned.  I know a lot of people did the glitter ornaments this Christmas, and I have to say... I LOVE them!  My children and I did about a dozen of these and gave them to teachers and family members, they really are fun to do.  I personalized each ornament on the back as well with each person's name/nickname.  The vinyl looks so nice on these and it is so easy to do.  I am sure we will be doing more of these next year!! :)

Thanks for stopping by. I wish you all a very Happy New Year!
Happy Crafting!

Fall card for Wee memories challenge, Card Creations & More, & CC

Happy Sunday to you all!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It was absolutely beautiful here and we had a lot of family time... it was great!  After the kids were in bed I was able to do some crafting and was able to get this card done for the challenges at wee Memories, Card Creations & More, and the Cricut Circle.  I was having total creative block when making this so it took me quite awhile to finish, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out. By the way, that is one of our pumpkins from our garden. We have already picked 15 of them and have plenty more coming.  I think we may have planted a little early, but the kids are loving it! Thanks for stopping by to take a look. I would love if you would leave a comment and let me know what you think! Happy Crafting!
