Create a Critter 2 Wreath

NOVEMBER MONTHLY CHALLENGE: Signs of Fall with Texture Challenge!

The Challenge: Create a project of any kind using your “sign/sybmol” of fall (remember, this can be any fall item that brings that fall feeling to you). You also must include some way of adding texture to your project. Whether you use a cuttlebug, distress the edges, ink, stickles, etc. Your project must include at least 2 different Cricut cuts.



I made a Thanksgiving Center piece for the table. The lantern is from Tie the Knot and hid the hearts with the Gypsy. I really like this cart for lanterns because of the wavy lines. It was a little too high, so I did some tweaking and used a punch at the top. Art Philolosy was used for the leaves, acorns, left over cuts from the decorative layer circle spread on the plate, and the pumpkin vine from Happy Hauntings. For texture, I used a stamp for a random pattern on the pumpkins and a Cuttlebug folder on the acorn and inked the textured paper.

OCTOBER MAGAZINE CHALLENGE!

OCTOBER SKETCH CONTEST!
We are so excited about our new sketch section in the Circle Magazine that we want to get you in on the action! Use this month’s sketch on page 9 and 10 of the October Issue to create your own masterpiece. It can be a card, layout, decor item, or whatever you are inspired to create.


Since I needed to make a Halloween card for my hubby, I used the Sketch from this month's contest. Gotta love these challenges as it really gets me to thinking and out of my rut. I used George for the Circle and heart, Happy Hauntings for the frame, Frankenstein and his bride. It's a little silly, but that is what Halloween is all about for me! Stamped sentiment and bats from my stash.

SEPTEMBER MAGAZINE CHALLENGE! ECHO PARK CONTEST!

We love Echo Park and the fun collections they are constantly creating. We would like to invite you to use any of their collections in this challenge. Create something with your favorite Echo Park Paper or stickers and your favorite cartridge. Contest Rules: Use any Echo Park Collection and at least 4 Cricut Cuts from your favorite cartridge in your design.



For this challenge, I made Halloween treat boxes using the matchbox cut from Tag, Bags, Boxes and More. All images cuts are from Happy Hauntings. Echo Park: Paper from Victoria Gardens and For the Record, Element Stickers from For the Record, and Apothecary Labels. The popcorn bags were too large for the box, so I tied it to the box with a ribbon. I used wobbles to secure the cut to the box.
