FCCB Challenge #105: Egg-ceptional Easter

Hello everyone,

Its Monday so its time for another challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. This week's Challenge Me Monday theme is 'Egg-ceptional Easter': Make a project with an egg on it. 


After a search with the word Easter on my Gypsy I found the cutest little bunny on the Simply Charmed Cart. I welded two scalloped oval shape from the Cricut Craftroom Basics for the base of my card and the little bunny had to have a basket for her eggs. So here is what I came up with.

FCCB Challenge #104: Out Like A Lamb

Hello everyone,

Its time for another Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. I must say first there were some beautiful cards with flowers entered into our challenge last week. I was inspired!

Our Challenge this week is 'Out Like A Lamb': make a project using a gentle animal.....lamb, kitten, puppy etc....

Here's my take on the challenge:

 

I searched on My Cut Search for an image of a lamb and found a few, but I just loved this image of Mary and her little lamb. I also wanted to try a different shape for the card base and came up with the base in the picture. I think I will try it again with different shapes.

What was used:
Cricut Craftroom
Cricut Elegant Edges (base cut at 8X6 inches then folded in half and scallop cut at 4 3/4 inches)
Cricut Nursery Rhymes (Mary had a little lamb cut at 3 inches)
Hero Arts Thinking of You stamps
Celebrate It Ribbon
Cardstock: Bazzill, We R Memory Keepers
K&Company WB Gypsy Baby Paper Pad
Heidi Grace Designs Sweet and Whimsical Paper pad
Ink for stamping and edges
Pop-dots

I have linked this card to Patch Of Pink Spring Link-up.

Please visit FCCB and see the gorgeous DT projects, then link up your own work to wow us.

Happy Scrapping!

FCCB Challenge # 103: Spring is in the Air

Hello everyone,

If this is your first time to my blog welcome and welcome back to my regular followers. Its time for another Challenge Me Monday challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog! This week our challenge is Spring is in the Air: make a project using at least three flowers. As usual you can use any products you want as long as there is a Cricut cut somewhere on your project.

I have been noticing the gorgeous spring blooms around in California and I am just loving the spring colors. The flowers I made on my card were based on a patch of daisies I saw on my walk with my kids.

FCCB Challenge # 102: In Like A Lion

Hello everyone,

This is my first post as a member of the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog (FCCB) Design Team. This week's Challenge Me Monday (#102) is In Like A Lion. Make a project with any sort of cat, tiger, lion, etc. on it.


I used Kate's ABCs cart for my project. I really love this cart and there are a few images with cats so I couldn't resist using it.

I trimmed the grass piece off from the tail and cut a second butterfly. Then added smaller butterflies using Marta Stewart pop-up butterfly punch then 'stickled' them.

 Sentiment close up. Doesn't it work perfectly!

My first project for the DT will be posted on March 12th, so I better get busy creating. Before I go, I would love to share the project I made for this week's Challenge #100 over at FCCB. The challenge is to use the FCCB colors (purple, green and turquoise) in your projects.

I first made this little gift bag for a make and take at the Anniversary Crop for Memories Live On (shared  a photo below) and thought I would adapt it for this challenge. The carnation was made out 4- 1 1/2 inch scalloped circle using a method I learned a few years ago online (sorry I have no link).
