NSD Color Challenge - Cricut Circle

This card is my creation for the Cricut Circle's National Scrapbooking Day Color Challenge. We were asked to create a project using the colors in the photo below and 2 Cricut cuts. The prize is a Cricut Expression machine.

I decided to make a square card using a cricut cut from the Preserves cart to close the front of the card and a princess print and cut from Best Friends Imagine cart. The card base is from American Crafts - 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 trifold card in black. The colored cardstock is from my stash but I believe it is by Bazzill.

Wish me luck!

Cricut Circle Blogiversary Sketch challenge

This is the sketch we had to follow to enter the Cricut Circle Blogiversary sketch challenge. The project had to include 2 cricut cuts as well. Here's my entry...

I don't usually use a sketch when I work... but I thought it would be fun to turn this sketch on its side. The card is cut from bazzill cardstock using the Damask Decor Cricut cart. The flower behind the happy halloween dimensional sticker is cut from preserves (it's what's left over from cutting the cantelope...surprise!) I fussy cut (always wanted to say that on my blog...lol) the pumpkins from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker halloween mat stack 6x6. The stickers are from recollections. The striped halloween paper has green spider paper on the back. It's from my stash. The black paper is punched with Martha Stewart punch around the page - cracks. The circles were cut from Cricut cart Wild Card (left overs from the circle card) and the patterened paper is Die Cuts With a View.

Wish me luck!

Fruits of the Spirit

My daughter attends christian school and they had plans to give special awards to children who do outstanding deeds. The program is called "Fruits of the Spirit." I offered to make fruit so that when children do oustanding deeds their name and the deed can be written on the fruit and hung in the hallway til the end of the school year. It was a blessing.

I used the Cricut Cartridge Preserves to create the layered fruit at 8". Most of the card stock was the 12x24 paper studio and cricut cardstock. The layering was quite easy. I made about 70 fruit total in the varieties of canteloupe, banana, mango, apple, orange, pear, pineapple and apricot.

Have a crafty day!
