FCCB Challenge #130: Birthday Celebration

Hello everyone,

Its time for a new challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. Our theme this week is Birthday Celebration. Our challenge to you is to make a birthday project using a candle.

This past Saturday we had a double party for my daughter and son. I decided to make banners for their party. My kids were given Finnish names so its hard to find anything with their names in the US, so I made them pennant banners with their names.

Cricut Pretty Pennants
Cricut American Alphabet
Cricut Boys Will Be Boys
Cricut Birthday Bash
Cricut Doodlecharms

I hope you will have a chance to visit us over at FCCB and see the projects our DT have made to share with you. Please join in and link your projects with us.I can't wait to see what you have made.

Happy Scrapping!

Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a wonderful day! I had a crazy week last week with getting ready for a big promotion for the classes I teach and helping to plan our block party! Both on the same day! The block party was a huge success and I had loads of sign ups for my classes but I am so happy to be back to a little less stress.

Lets get into our challenge this week at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog! This week we are challenging you to make a project with some sort of automobile (planes, trains, cars, bikes, etc). I used Everyday Pop Up Cards to make a pop-up card. I have had this card for  awhile, used it a few times but never did a pop-up.

I used my Gypsy to size the airplane onto the pop-up card so that I pop-up image would have the layers.

What was used:
Cricut Gypsy
Cricut Everyday Pop Up Cards
Recollections cardstock
DCWV Metallic cardstock
Ribbon from my stash
Ranger Broken China Distress Ink
Black Bling

Now that I am back on target I have to announce the winner of the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mask from the FCCB blog hop two weeks ago.

FCCB Challenge #127: On The Job

 Hello Everyone,

It's time for another challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. This week we are challenging you to make a project with an occupational character (police, mail carriers, doctors, teachers, etc).

I made this card for my daughters class to give to our local Fire fighters. The kids had a fun afternoon wih the guys who welcomed them and showed them around the station. I enjoyed the trip too. I made the card 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 to give the kids enough space to sign it.

I like to cut the accessories from the Paperdolls Carts a few times in different colors  and edit them so that the images have different color layers. As I did with the fire truck (the firefighters have white trucks in our city).

What was used:

Cricut Everyday Paperdolls

Peachy Keen Everyday Character Faces Assortment

Stampendous Happy Messages Stamp Set

DCWV Patterned Paper

Recollections Cardstock

Signo White Pen

Black ink

Happy Scrapping!
