Weekly Challenge #26: Just Because Challenge!


The Challenge: Create a layout featuring an everyday topic or create a “Just Because” card. Must include 2 Cricut Cuts.

For this challenge I used pictures of our pond lilies "just because" of their beauty. We enjoy sitting by the pond with our coffee during the warm mornings. Even during the cold mornings, we can still admire them through the slider. I used 3 Cricuts cuts: the flowers and title.

For this challenge, I used Stamping for Lucky Day and Give a Hoot for the shamrock. Gold foil is used for the matting on one picture and black out feature on Lucky Day. Loving these challenges to get these pictures scrapbooked. There are so many and I was so overwhelmed, but I'll get them finished one challenge at a time.

FEBRUARY MONTHLY CHALLENGE: CHILDREN AT PLAY!


Create a project (other than a layout or card) for a child using your Cricut machine. Project ideas include, but aren’t limited to: Gift item, toy, organizing solution, chore chart, item for schoo., stationery set, etc. Project must include atleast 2 different Cricut Image Cuts.

For this challenge I made a Tic Tac Toe board using a Easter theme. The title is from Doodletype and bunnies and chicks from Easter Solutions Cart. I used a 12X12 picture frame with a clear calendar sheet (to replace the glass) and a magetic sheet for the game board. The game pieces are magnetic so they stick to the board.
