For this challenge, we want to see you add an interactive element to your project. Your project must be newly created for this challenge and include at least 2 Cricut Image Cuts. You must submit a project to be entered into the Challenge Prize Drawing. 

I knew I wanted to do a waterfall card for this- and it has been so hard at work lately and one of my colleagues has been down so I created this funny card to cheer her up . I used the Car Decals cartridge- I think it is the first time I have used it. The little mouse was pretty cute- so I designed the card around him.

CRICUT Pennant Contest

so this is my entry

Cricut Pennant Contest Entry

Nothing very fancy but I thought simple would show those that have never owned a Cricut how easy it is. I did use all glitter paper though- I was hoping it would look great under the lights and on tv. Guess will see if it shows up at all.
Cartridges used-

Scalloped circles- Elegant Edges

Weekly Challenge #40: Glittery Card Sketch Challenge!

The Challenge: This week we want to see your interpretation of the following card sketch. Please include some kind of glitter or bling on your card. 
                                                                                                                       

For my card I used three different cartridges- Elegant Edges, Beyond Birthdays and Birthday Bash. I used glitter paper for the wings and used Stickles on the black parts of the bee, on the words and as details on the "flowers".  I think it turned out pretty cute- and it is going to my 23 year old daughter for her birthday.

August Circle Magazine Challenge- Cosmo Cricket

Well I really debated about entering anything after I saw Nadia’s entry and some of the others- but one of the things I have enjoyed about the challenges is that is pushes me to do things and use things I might not always use. In this case however I must admit- Cosmo Cricket is one of my most favorite paper lines and I use them quite a lot. For this layout I used papers from the Togetherness line, I also found some old ribbon and stickers from a Cosmo Cricket kit I picked up at Tuesday Morning over a year ago.

I used the following cartridges;

Mickey’s Font for title “Tiburon”

Destinations for the word “California”, I also used the Imagine to print the papers from Mr. Frosty and Kate’s Kitchen for this part of the page. I love the way you can coordinate the papers this way.

Mother’s day Bouquet for the flowers

I used the Swirls Cuttlebug folder on some of the letters in the title and enhanced it with some chalk ink.

Although it will not win- I am very happy with the layout and really enjoyed completing it.
