Bright Anniversary Cards

I thought I would throw some bright fun pattern paper from DCWV behind these silhouettes. They are cut from the Sweethearts cartridge at 4-1/2 some I did with the blackout feature and some I left with the detail cuts inside. Used different border punches and the sentiment stamp is from Papertrey Ink. Thanks for stopping by, tomorrow I will have another card using this silhouette.

Mommy to be- if she doesnt know what she's having!

Ok here ya go, the last of the "Mommy to be" cards I have made. You can find the girl version HERE and the other boy version HERE. This one was a special order because the lady just heard her niece is expecting and wants to send a card to congratulate them so they don't know what they are having. Bazzill yellow cardstock, provocraft pattern paper, silhouette is from New Arrival cut at 4-1/2 inches (some of these I used the black out feature on and some of them I didn't) Martha Stewart border punch and some ribbon.
This one is a bit different then the 1st one I posted HERE so I had to show it as well :) I just used more blue cardstock.

Fantabulous Cricut #29- National Sewing Month

It's National Sewing Month over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. For this week we were asked to make something that incorporated sewing of some degree... actual machine, hand or faux stitching... I went with hand since I had never done it before on a project. I used Lyrical Letters to cut my "hello" out at 1-1/2 inches on green Bazzill then I used some pink DCWV paper for the butterfly and glittered that with white. The pattern paper is also DCWV from the Nana's Nursery- Baby Girl stack, I rounded 2 of the corners opposite from each other and also inked the edges of the white base with Holyhock from CTMH. I finished it off by using my paper piercer to make the holes and then stitched some DMC floss through. Thanks for stopping by make sure to check out the FCCB to enter your own project and also for a chance to win some great prizes :)

Another Rag Wreath- with the material that was leftover :)

I decided to make another wreath because I had so much material left from this project HERE. The only thing I did different was the way I tied it. Instead of a left over right type knot I folded the piece of material in half, then put the loop under the hanger and pulled both ends over the hanger and down through the loop, did you understand that? If not leave a comment letting me know and I will do a picture tutorial on it :) Don't forget there is still time to enter my giveaways... they will end Today and the winners will be announced on Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by!

Today's project was found at Craft-O-Maniac. I saw this one when I found the wreath project posted yesterday and got the stuff to make both. I couldn't find the plaques at the Dollar Tree but another store did have them for 1.12 each so I got them there. I used Lyrical Letters for the "E"s cut at 3 inches with the real dial size on, the "K" is from there too but I used a different feature for it. The spiders are cut at 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5. You can get more directions from Craft-O-Maniacs blog HERE.

Halloween Fabric Wreath

K everyone, here is a mini tutorial on how to make a quick Halloween or Fall wreath. I found this idea last Thursday morning from A Little Bit Of Everything's blog and was off to the store running to get some material so I could make one, I LOVE this idea and how easy and inexpensive it was, I bought 1/2 yard of 4 different materials that I liked with a total cost of about $5.47 the hanger was free from a friend, THANKS, and the ribbon was from my stash. Gotta love that! :) click on the picture to enlarge it!
I cut 1 inch strips or actually snipped then tore them down, then from there I cut the strips into about 7-1/4 inches long...
I bent my hanger straight down and was going to make a circle but liked the square so much that I left it like that :) then I just started tying like you would your shoe, I didn't even knot the material, just a simple right over left and then moved on, that's it, it took me about an hour to complete it.
Here's a picture of my ribbon, I got this last year or the year before from M's or J's.
Thanks for visiting today and don't forget to enter my giveaways you can find them HERE and HERE.
Dont forget to check back tomorrow for my last giveaway :)

So this card is for the ClearlyiStamp Challenge #17 going on right now. You had to include an Owl so I chose the one from Storybook and cut him at 3-1/4 with the fancy corner feature. I also cut a scalloped cirlce from Mini Monograms at 1-3/4 and then I used an EK Success punch for the white circle. The stamps are from Clear Dollar Stamps called "Baked For You Tags." I also added some googly eyes amd a Martha Stewart border punch at the bottom. All the paper is from BoBunny's Abby Road collection... it's double sided :)
On this card I cut a tag from Stamped at 1-3/4 and added a saying from Papertrey Ink called "Wise Owl"
