Halloween Pillow Box

Hello everyone!  Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you all are having a good start to the week.  Last Friday was my turn on the DT over at Imagine, Create, Share in which I had to post the challenge for Imagine That Friday.  In all my craziness, I never had the chance to post it here on my own blog! :(    I decided to do a "create your own pattern/ designer paper" using the Imagine.  I just looooove making my own pattern paper, it is so fun!!!  The possibilities are endless! 

Since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought I'd take out some of my Halloween cartridges and see what fun image I could use.  I found this cool looking black cat on the October 31st cartridge.  I totally love the way it turned out!!  Here is the end result:

If you would like to see the tutorial for this box or join in on the challenge, go check out Imagine, Create, Share.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my project today! :)
Have a very Crafty Day!!

My California Pennant!!

Hello my friends!   Sorry it has been so long since I have posted.  My life has been a bit chaotic over the last month.  Besides the girls being out of school for the summer, we have been having our kitchen remodeled the past 4 weeks!  What an experience this has been..... I am certainly ready for it to be done! I think we have about another week, then we should be good to go.  I tell ya, I can't wait to use a dishwasher again... washing dishes in a bathtub just ain't easy! LOL!!  Anyway, I haven't been able to get much crafting done, but I did want to share the pennant I submitted for the Cricut Circle Road to CHA pennant contest. We were supposed to create a pennant that prepresented our state, country or province using the pennant from the Birthday Bash cartridge.  All the paper was designed with my Cricut Imagine and I used the 50 States and Destinations cartridges for the cuts.  I know there were a ton of awesome pennants submitted, so my chances of winning are quite small, but I had a good time making this, so I guess that is what really matters!!  I would love to know what you think, so if you could leave me a comment, I would really really appreciate it! Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have a CRAFTY day!!
