For my project today, I decided to use a kite and

add an Action Wobble for the moving component.

My card base is 5x5 white cardstock.

The kite comes from Nate's ABC's, cut at 3"

The pattern paper is from Fancy Pants Designs

6x6 Paper Pad "Park Bench".

I used Enamel Dots from Recollections.

My sentiment stamp comes from CardzTV "This N That" set.

BBTB2 - Apple for the Teacher

Happy Monday!

We have another challenge starting for you over at BBTB2!

Can you believe school is here?!?!

Our theme for this week is to create a Back To School project

featuring an Apple!

I cut this apple from the Recess Cartridge and

the yellow mat from Elegant Edges.

I popped both of these up on some foam tape.

The "A" and "is for" are both cut from Nate's ABC's.

These are adhered straight on the b/g paper

which is from DCWV "School Days"

I added some brads in the corners for extra embellishment.

Super easy to put together!

I hope that you will join us this week for our

School Challenge over at BBTB2.

I am also going to enter this in over at

Exploring Cricut and Hiding In My Craft Room

for the Back to School challenges over there.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

FCCB Challenge #178 - ABC's 123's

This week starts the beginning of another challenge over at FCCB! We want to see all your projects that have to do with your ABC's and 123's. For my project, I wanted to make an ABC workbook for my son who just started preschool this month. I saw an idea on Pinterest and just elaborated on it a bit. I also discovered some awesome Gel Pens that work in Cricut machines to draw images on your paper! Cri-Kits are the name of them and I think they are fabulous! I have even put a video together for you to see how they work in detail.  What's even better is that you have a chance to win a set of these amazing pens over at FCCB, so be sure to link up your projects!!!  Anyway, my project came together using the Zutter Bind-it-All, the Your Story laminating/binding machine, some paper from DCWV All About Boys mat stack, and of course the Cri-Kit Gel Pens.  Basically, I drew (with the Cri-Kits) all the ABC's upper and lower case from the Nate's ABC's cartridge (Font 2), laminated the paper they were drawn on and bound them all together to create a dry-erase workbook for my son.  Please check out my video to see this project, the pictures just weren't working :)  I used chip board for the front and back cover and used Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive to attach the fun DCWV Alphabet and Polka-Dot paper.  I am so glad that I was introduced to the Cri-Kit gel pens, the magnetic holder is ingenious and really makes a difference when drawing with your machine!  I can't wait to see what you all come up with for this challenge!!!
