FCCB & BBTB2 Weekly Challenges

Hey All!

 How is everyone doing after the nice weekend break?
Ready to start a new week and a couple of new challenges?

We've got a challenge underway over at

FCCB!

Challenge #24 Camp Out

This Weeks Sponsor

Pretty Cute Stamps

~This Week's Challenge~

Camp Out

Create a project inspired by the outdoors

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

AND over at BBTB2

we have the challenge starting of
Let The SUN Shine In!

Create a project featuring a Sun!

So here is my card I created combining the two:

I used Campin' Critters for the fabulous outdoor scene

and the sun I cut from Accent Essentials.

My papers were all from my scrap stash,

but if I remember right, the blue is from a ColorBok (WalMart) paper pack

and the polka dot is from a DCWV pack.

I found some awesome wooden buttons to use

and some brown ric-rac to create a nice border

between the two b/g mats.

I've popped up the scene on some foam tape,

but the sun is adhered straight on the mat.

There is some great dimension on this card that

the camera just doesn't pick up.

Lastly, the sentiment - it's from CardzTV - and I know

I recently used this same sentiment, but I LOVE it,

so I used it again and it is perfect for this card!

I hope that you will join us over at FCCB & BBTB2

for these challenges!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Happy Camper!

Welcome to another challenge over at BBTB2!!!

Do you love camping?

Well, I do!

My family and I enjoy camping, 4 wheeling, camp fires, and

I especially LOVE fishing!

My 5 year old son is getting "hooked" too :)

Anyway, I was lucky enough to choose the theme for this week's challenge

and because summer is winding down and only a few more weeks (HOORAY!!!)

'til school starts, I thought it would be fun to make projects centered on

Happy Campers or Campin' Critters

basically ANYTHING to do with Camping!

So here is the card I came up with...

I used Echo Park Paper Happy Camper and

CardzTV Stamps for both sentiments.

The fun fishing deer comes from Campin' Critters (LOVE)

and the mat is from Elegant Edges.

The twine is from American Crafts and 

the brads are from Hobby Lobby.

I have a video to show you how it all came together...

Thanks for checkin' in!!!
