Teresa Collins Magazine Challenge

I just adore Teresa Collins.  I got to meet her at CHA in January and she was just as sweet as can be.  It was so cool.  She was standing there all by herself, and I walked up and told her how much I loved her new cartridges.  (We got a sneak peek the day before at the Circle CHA meetup in LA.)  She was so nice and super excited that I liked them.  She even gave me a hug.  Wow!  She is awesome!!

So our challenge was to use at least three Teresa Collins products and two Cricut cuts.  I used her Ty's stars, Bind It All book covers, and some awesome papers from her Celebrate collection. I used one of the flowers from Floral shoppe and a couple flourishes from Picturesque, I believe.   


What a fun project.  I hope you enjoy it and I hope the judges do too!!

Thanks for looking!

Hello friends. Today I am showing my entry for the Circle Blog's weekly challenge.  It was, of course, a patiotic theme for the Fourth of July/Canada day.  We needed to use red, white and blue as our main colors.  Here is mine.

Used the following carts:

A Child's Year = Little boy and puppy
Designers Calendar = Phrase
George = Stars and photo mats

I hope you like it.

June 23rd Weekly Challenge Entry

I've got to say I am loving doing Circle challenges.  Before the Circle, I would go weeks without playing with my Cricut.  The challenges make me want to go in there and CREATE!!  I really have so much fun and I've really stretched my Cricut wings, so to speak.

This week's challenge was based on a sketch.  I don't know if I can post the sketch, but here is my take on it.  I hope you enjoy it.  My sweet hubby did.

I hope all the dad's out there had a great day!

Talk to you soon!

May Circle Challenge Imaginisce

I sprayed the torso with Green Maya Mist to give it a patined look.  I cut a small hole in the bottom and glued a wooden birdhouse stand to the bottom for height.  I used Go Scooter Go and Mushroom Fancy Imaginisce paper for the 48 little roses.  LOVED the colors.  I used a flower from Forever Young, which coincidentally was the cart that served as my inspiration for this project.



I then used the crown from Birthday Cakes, welded it to a rectangle from George and made 48 tiles for the skirt.  I ran the base trough my sticker maker, put the top on it and dipped each tile in chunky glitter to as sparkle! (As if it needed more! LOL!)


Finally, I cut a rectangle from George with a little scalloped border welded to both of the long sides.  I used a stamp from, who else but Imaginisce, and stamped in white pigment ink.  When they dried, I put little orangy rhinestones in the center of the on the stamped images.



Oh yeah and guess who made the gorgeous rhinestones I used?  You got it, Imaginisce!!  Aren't they awesome?  LOVE them!!

Here are a couple more pics!  Thanks for looking!!

Monthly blog challenge

Hello!


Here is my entry for the monthly Circle Blog challenge.  They are giving away 5 Cricut E 2's.  Whoo hoo!!

I welded the daisies together with a swirl from Picturesque (my go to cart for everything!)  TThoseflowers are so lacy!! I love themI made a ruffle from a strip of paper, embossed a circle cut from George and cut the monogram from Tie the Knot. It's for  back of the programs for my niece's wedding.  It started as a project for the blog and my sister fell in love with it. Too funny!! One down and 64 more to go!
