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.

What was used:
Cricut Pretty Pennants
Cricut American Alphabet
Cricut Boys Will Be Boys
Cricut Birthday Bash
Cricut Doodlecharms
Recollection Cardstock
DCWV Shimmer cardstock
DCWV Cotton Bloom Stack
K&Company Graduation Paper Pad
K&Company Confetti Die-cut Cardstock
Crop-a-dile and Large Eyelets
Bead Landing Jute Cording

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!

CTO Challenge #73 - Ice Cream

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all having a wonderful week. I have been very bust trying to entertain my two little ones, I am still finding a tiny bit of time to sneak in a little card. Its Tuesday so there is another challenge up at Celebrate The Occasion. This week our theme is in honor of Ice Cream Month. We challenge you to use an ice cream somewhere in your project.

For this challenge I made my first Swing Card. I love the effect so since making this card I have made one other. This post is really heavy on pictures but I just wanted to show you the different sides to my card.

FCCB Challenge #106: Button and Bows

Hello everyone,

Its Monday and there is a new challenge up at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. This week we are challenging you to make a project with at least one button and one bow on it.

I made a series of cards for this challenge. I was inspired the Cricut American Alphabet Cart that comes pre-installed on the E2. I just love all the images on this cart. The images are super adorable and easy to layer. I just couldn't decide which one to cut! Even the scallop behind the die cuts is a blackout of a doily on the cart.

I am also linking these cards to Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings Challenge #45: Buttons and Bow

What was used:
Cricut American Alphabet Cart
Cuttlebug Seeing Spots Embossing Folder
Marta Stewart Vintage Girl Paper Pad
Cardstock: We R Memory Keepers and Recollections
Devine Twine
Buttons from my Stash

I hope you will join us at FCCB for this week's challenge. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Happy Scrapping!
