So Grateful Scarecrow card

I have been eyeing these scarecrows in the Simply Charmed cartridge.  So the card didn't turn out exactly how I was hoping, but I adapted as I went changing things here and there.   I will have to play with these two some more.  They are too cute not to use again and again.

I am going to enter them on the Cooking With the Cricut Challenge # 57.


 

CCC # 94

Welcome, this is for CCC # , for Mary at Cardz TV. The challenge was to use any cartridge and colors for a Halloween card. This was on my mind ever since I made a bunch of treat bags for one of my kids class party. I just love these colors from Papertrey Ink. Face stamp is from Peachy Keen Stamps.  The pumpkin is cut at 3 inches from Mini Monsters. 

Sweet Tooth Cupcake box #1

So when you find a great recipe for a cupcake, you just want to share it with others, so why not use a cute box. So when I picked up the Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge recently I was super excited to make one. My only worry was how big to cut it so it would fit a cup cake. Well guess what Cricut fixed that issue too. Even though you can cut it any size, there is a red box that tells you the recommended sizes. In this case it was to cut at 11 inches. All I can say is this box is super easy and fast to make. I will be back with more soon.

Yum, yum  this was so tasty and pretty too.  I got the recipe from a Annie's Eats.  I love her recipes and really wish she lived next door to me.  Her recipes are really amazing and this mint chocolate cupcake was not exception. 

CCC #93

I first have to apologize for being missing in action for so long on my blog.   Where has the time gone?  I am so thankful to still be on this design time, so that when life gets busy I have an excuse as to why I "have to craft".   I am hoping that this post is the beginning of  some regular posting and regular checking of others blogs.  I haven't been very good at doing that either for a while.

So on to business.... This week I got to participate in a challenge for Cardz TV.  The challenge was to "Think Pink" in remembrance that October is breast cancer awareness month. 
Cut is from:  Forever cut at 3 3/4 inches.

I really like this quote from Christopher Robin given to  Winnie the Pooh:

"You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think."
-Christopher Robin

I believe this quote is important for anyone going through a hard time, especially a battle with cancer.  My heart goes out to any who are currently struggling or recently have fought this battle.  Even more my heart goes out to those you have lost loved ones to this.   May those loved one always be remembered and loved and most of all may we all appreciate those who are still in our midst.  One day we will all conquer this disease. 

ccc # 89 Birthday Monkey

This week our challenge was to make a birthday card for a kid using a juggle animal.  No animal reminds me of a jungle more than a tiger or a monkey.  I didn't have a cute tiger, so I decided to use this monkey form Birthday Bash.  Pretty simple card.  It was fun to make.  Hope  you join us at CCC for this challenge.

Doodle Charms Penguin Throw Back Thursday Challenge

Throw Back Thursday Challenge with Emma at My Creative Time was to use a retired cartridge.  I used Doodle Charms for the Penguin and then added a shaped card as an igloo from Create a critter.  I think it turned out to be fun little card.

CCC # 87

CCC # 85

I just love these little houses on Jolly Holidays.  I made if for CCC # 85 challenge,  any holiday, any colors and any cartridge.  How flexible and fun is that?

Argyle card for Throwback Thursday

 

Emma from My Creative Time has fun challenge to use Wild Card or Just Because Cards and embossing for her challenge.  I have been wanting to make something with this argyle and think it turned out pretty cute.  It is a bit manly, so I had to really constrain myself to not use ribbon or add a flower here or there.

Hope you enjoy and feel free to play along at My Creative Time.

CCC # 81

This week at Cricut Cards Challenge we got to make a card with a cook-out or picnic theme.    I recently picked up 3 Birds on Parade  and really wanted to make a card with it.  Thankfully it had a perfect cut for this weeks theme.  Hope you join us this week.
