Weekly Challenge #28: Creepy Crawlies Challenge!

The Challenge: Create a scrapbook page about the things that bug you. Use a bug somewhere on your project at least 2 Cricut cuts.

Our cats as kittens loved the box that I received my Cricut Expression. They would have the paper all over the floor for me to pick up, but it was fun to watch them having a good time. (I kept telling myself that as I was constantly picking it up.)For the bug, I included a butterfly and of course the Cricut bug and other Cricut cuts are the heart, tag with cat's name, cat face, and the title. These challenges are really helping me get pictures scrapped that have been sitting in a box.

Weekly Challenge #27: Make a Game Plan Challenge!

The Challenge: Create your own sketch (card/layout) and then make a project with it. You will need to upload both images this week, the sketch and the project.

I used pond pictures taken from our second story to get a "birds eye view". The Cricut cuts are the large owl and the title with the owl. We have two owls overlooking our pond in hopes their "hooting" will keep the big Blue Heron away and not eat our Koi like he did last year.

March SPRING CLEANING CONTEST!

This challenge is to show how I store Cricut cartridges, juke box, Solutions cartridges and handbooks. I like to store my carts by type. On the top self are the cake, MS, Lites, Disney and Solutions cartridges. Since the self is deep, I store supplies, I don't use often-large Xyron. The next two shelves, I store the Image cartridges and behind them are Xyron tape and the seasonal full content cartridges: Halloween and Christmas. The 3rd shelf are the Classmates and Font Cartridges. Behind them are the Juke Box, in the green box are the seasonal Solutions Cartridges and on top of the Juke Box are handbooks. Before I use to store the carts in drawers, but I like this shelf idea much better, because I can see all my carts and they are easy to access. Also, behind the carts is a lot of space for storage.

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.
