Die Cuttin Divas & Fabtabulous Cricut Challenge

I didn't even realize that this card that I made qualified for 2 of my favorite challenges this week!

Die Cutting Diva Challenge #41: What Time is It? It's Turkey Time!

Use a Turkey!

Fantabulous Cricut: Harvest Blessings Cricut Crawl

Share your blessings by creating a Fall project with your Cricut, using the colours red, orange and brown.

For this challenge I used 3 Cartridges:

Doodle Charms

Cricut Sampler (border of the stamp)

Speaking of Fall (for the leaves)

I used cardstock paper- Orange, Red, Brown & Red

the plaid table cloth was from: The Very Merry Christmas Stack

Embellish Magazine Leaves Trends Challenge

Embellish Magazine Leaves Color Trends Challenge

This weeks Embellish Magazine Challenge was to create a project that used leaves and 4 specific colors (the purple, green, blue and grey). 

To create this image I used a couple of different cartridges:

Graphically Speaking-- for the flower, friend wording & tag

Brad - fun jewel one from Joanns

Cardstock:

Grey, Green, Purple & Blue

DCVW- The dots, stripes and plaids background

Day 246 : Peekabo

The latest card that I created (yes I am a card making machine this week) is one for the Peekabo challenge at 365 Cards.  I LOVE that they have a new challenge every day and as much as I would like to think that I could make a card every single day, the reality is that my son would rather me play Peekabo with him than make a Peekabo card.   I did find time to create one though!  I hope that you find it as cute as I do!

All 3 of the Envelopes do come out of the mailbox!
The Card was created with the following:
Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge
Cardstock Plain Paper
Stack 7 Pattern Paper

Die Cuttin Divas Football Challenge #39

I am going to barely get these in under the wire and there are a ton of adorable designs already over at the site Die Cuttin Divas, but this week was a fun challenge to do something with a football.  Here in Wisconsin we take our football teams pretty seriously (I happen to be a Cowboys fan) so I made the Packer Card for my husband and we are both die hard Badger Fans.  I am also showing off my son's Wisconsin Bucky Badger halloween costume below the Challenge Image!  Thank you Die Cuttin Divas for giving me a fun challenge this week!

This week I used:

Fathers Day Cricut Cartridge

Base Camp & George Cricut Cartridges

DMC Floss for the Pompoms

Stack 7 Printed Paper

My Lil Guy all Dressed Up As Bucky Badger!

Cupcake Inspiration & Papercraft Star Challenge

I made this card for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge & Challenge #69- A Flourish.  
Every week on Cupcake Inspiration they give you a photo of a cupcake and you use the image to inspire a card design.  I had a lot of fun with it!
Papercraft Star had a photo of a flourish so I finally got to use my black flourish that I have been wanting to incorporate into a card.  I think it turned out pretty cute!

Cartridges Used:

Speaking of Fall

Sweethearts

Cardstock Papers

Stack7 Pattern Paper

DCWV Glitter Paper

My 1st Entry into a Contest!

This week the challenge was to make a card with a bird on it (it could be any bird or even a bird cage!)
Today we found out that my husband's cousin had their baby.  I thought what a perfect way to create a neat card and also get to enter the contest!  Wish me Luck!

There are some people who find this cartridge hard to work with (part of the reason I got the design studio).  I really like the look of the cursive and I am excited to use it for the vinyl wall clings!
