BBTB2 - Grillin' N Chillin'

Happy Monday!!!

Hope everyone enjoyed celebrating Father's Day yesterday!!!

Today over at BBTB2 we have a new challenge

starting all about FOOD!!!

It is National Onion Ring Day, so in honor

of that we want to see projects featuring food.

There are so many options to choose from

with all the Cricut images dedicated to this wonderful subject,

it shouldn't be too hard to do :)

I pulled out the From My Kitchen cartridge and

decided to make a BBQ themed card.

I actually gave this to my dad yesterday for Father's Day,

along with a fun BBQ tool set.

He loves to BBQ in the summer and

steak is probably his favorite food to throw out there!

I used paper from My Mind's Eye and

Enamel Dots from Recollections.

The sentiment comes from CardzTV's "Summer Fun"

Stamp Set.

I hope you will join us for this fun challenge!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Singing In The Rain!

Happy Monday!!!

How are y'all doing?

I am so excited for school to be back in session after a week

of Spring Break....I feel a bit crazy and look forward to routine :)

This week over at BBTB2 we have a new challenge

all about April Showers!

We want to see projects that feature anything that has

to do with rain...umbrellas, rain boots, puddles, etc.

I decided to use a cut I have never used before from

Once Upon A Princess.

This cute little doll is perfect for this challenge,

don't ya think :)

My papers come from Heidi Grace

and the sentiment stamp is from CardzTV.

I used a Princess Peachy Keen Stamp for the face.

I hope that you will join us for this challenge!

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!!!

Cut It Up - Inspired By A Song

YAY!!! It's Friday!!!

I hope your week has gone well and you are

all ready for the weekend!!!

I am so excited for the challenge this week over at Cut It Up!!!

It is so clever - Evelyn did an awesome job with this theme!

You need to create a project inspired by a song!

How cool is that?!?!

Our Sponsor:

Fleurette Bloom

$10 Gift Card

My Project:

Okay, so at first I was inspired by one song (Happy)

then it evolved to another (Here Comes the Sun).

I explain all this in my video :)

Either way, this card was SO QUICK & EASY!!!

I think it turned out super cute too! 

So the Sun was cut out using Create A Critter

and I "cheated" by adding rosy cheeks to the cut.

It is popped up on some foam tape for fun dimension.

Both sentiments are from CardzTV's Summer Fun set - LOVE!

The paper is all from Heidi Grace's Sunshowers and

I used American Crafts twine.

The sketch is from Die Cuttin' Divas this week!

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...
