FCCB Organize It Cricut Crawl

Happy Monday to all of you! Today is a special Monday challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog - It's a Cricut Crawl! Yippee!!! :-) The FCCB Design Team has put together a fabulous assortment of "organizing" projects using our Cricut Machines. Please make sure you start at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to find out what the rules and prizes are!

My project is an interchangeable acrylic Post-It note holder. My goal was to use paper and cardstock that I already have, as well as my long time neglected Peachy Keen stamps.

First I cut my background papers to fit the 5x7 acrylic frame. I then sifted through my card stock scraps to find coordinating colors. I used my Simply Charmed, Create A Critter, PPDU, Cheerful Seasons, Summer Celebrations, and Independence Day carts to achieve a character for every month. After piecing them together I embellished with Stickles, PK stamps, and white gel pen. And whola! A Post-It note holder with added year-round interest:-)

The line up for our challenge this week is listed below. Please make sure you stop at everyone's blog. I know there are quite a few giveaways that you don't want to miss. Which brings me to mention my Valentine Embellie giveaway! Simply be a follower of my blog and post a comment that you are. How easy is that? An extra entry for those who bring a friend - just have them mention your name in their post:-) Your next stop is the fabulous Connie!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Proud To Be An American

Hello my fabulous crafting friends! I would like to share with you the card I made for Wacky Wednesday, My Sheri Crafts, Fantabulous Cricut, Die Cuttin' Divas, and Celebrate the Occasion challenges this week. I used Cricut Craft Room and my Imagine to print the patterned paper and the single layered cut image from the Summer Celebrations and Vintage Paper carts. I embossed the blue with the Cuttlebug Stars folder and added some Airmail twine above a "pinked" border. The tag die and sentiment are from My Creative Time.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

My Cricut Craft Room 100 Cart Hop

It's time again for Erica's ultra fun 100 cart blog hop! If you're here because you are one of my super awesome loyal followers, then I'm going to redirect you to My Cricut Craft Room because I don't want you to miss out on all of this weekend's goodies:-) If you've come from Tracy's blog then you are on the hop and on the right track!

I used the Summer Celebrations cart for this card. I just love the fun whimsical style of the cake. I embossed some of the "frosting" with the Script Cuttlebug folder and added some Stickles to the flame and pink "frosting". The sentiment comes from Joy's Life You're So Punny set. The patterned paper is from Stampin' Up.

This cute little kitty comes from the Chore Chart cart. I adhered a little ric-rac around the circle for added texture and color. The patterned paper is from Stampin' Up and the sentiment is from Stampin Moms Raining Cats & Dogs set.

The third cart I used is Jolly Holidays. I had such a difficult time choosing which image to use. I simply love, love, love this cart! You'll definitely be seeing me use this a lot in the coming months:-) I hid the facial features using my Gypsy then stamped the face using Peach Keen's Paper Doll Basic & embossed it with white EP. The "icing" is white ric-rac. The sentiment is from Scrappy MomsWinter Wishes set.

Thanks for checking out my projects today. Make sure you are a follower and then leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite Cricut cart is - if you own it or not. I'll be picking one lucky hopper to give this pink Cricut tool set to on Monday!

Your next stop is the super talented Tina at Crafty and Green!
