Challenge Me Monday #123

Hello Everyone,

It's Monday and time for another Challenge Me Monday at The Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.
Today the challenge #123 is Jump in and cool off. You are to make a project with a water theme (pool, beach, water park, etc.) Don't forget to include at least 1 cricut cut. Here is my project:

I live 1 mile from the beach. (wonderful Lake Erie). I am blessed I know. This summer we have had an amazing time there, so I decided to make a simple mini book to document and remember it. I am only showing the cover this week because it is a work in progress. My husband and I have walked, run and got in much better shape here this summer ( lots of steps and hills). It is so beautiful and many days there is such a nice breeze.(exercise can even be fun here)  Some days after a work out we sit on the beach and relax and some days we put flips on and walk the edge of the water. The pebbles in the sand are some of the shells and beach glass we have found. It has been truly an amazing journey.

Recipe:

Just Because Cards: Sun which I applied glossy accents to

Pack your Bags: Beech chair and girl (used copics to shade her a little)

Sports Mania: Runner

Sand is cork board

Beach is Grunge board Alpha set inked and rock candy distressed stickles

Paper Pack for Mini is A Day at the Beach by The  Paper Studio

Cinch for the binding

I hope you check out the other design team members, I am sure you will be inspired. Then I hope you take this challenge on (it is lots of fun) then link your project up. Don't forget to have at least 1 cricut cut. Good Luck!

Happy Crafting,

Challenge Me Monday #120

Hello Everyone,

Well it is time for another Challenge Me Monday over at the FANTABULOUS CRICUT CHALLENGE BLOG. Today the challenge is Sunny Days. Make a project using a yellow sun. I hope you join us on this challenge it was lots of fun. Now for my project:

Have fun in the Sun! I started this off with a shaped card from the Wild Card Cartridge, which I cut at 5". The sun came from the Just Because Cards Cartridge. The umbrella, flips and surf board from the Life is a Beach Cartridge.  Finally the inter tube, lounge chair and beach bag was cut from the Everyday Paper Dolls Cartridge.  The sentiment is from the Have fun in the sun MCT Stamp set. To create the sand I tore paper and used my two way glue pen to adhere Ultra fine Flower Soft in the sand color. I also used my copic BG0000 for the sky, the white didn't get it.
If you haven't checked out the rest of the design team head on over I am sure you will be inspired. I can't wait to see what you create.

Happy Crafting,

Challenge Me Monday #114

Hello Everyone,

It is time again for a challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog

#114 

Don't Bug me

Create a project using some sort of bug! 

Remember it must contain 1 cricut cut.

For my project I created this Flip flop card also known as a swing card. I found the directions for this at Splitcoaststampers.            

Here is my project:

Cute as a bug was cut 3" and from Just Because cards.I also used the lacey oval die from nestibilities and and edge punch from Stampin' up.  This is what you see on front.

Here is what you see when it swings: 

The worm is cut at 2.5" and from Create a Critter. The birthday wishes is also from Stampin' up. I finished it off with bling, stitching and an action wobble.

Now it is your turn. Create a project for this challenge and link it up at FCCB so  we can be inspired by you
.

Have a great day,
