Cricut Oct. Monthly Challenge: Celebrating Creativity

This is my entry for the Cricut Celebrating Creativity Monthly Challenge.  I Celebrate creating memories every second with my family and friends.  I enjoy creating those memories in crafty ways.

Here are the main materials I used for my project....

The Lovely Cricut Imagine - Of Course!
Songbird Cartridge - for the lettering
Wall Decor & More Cartridge - for the flock and the film
Summer Vacation Cartridge - for the camera.  Double layered camera body, triple layered lens.
Hannah Montana Cartridge - for the butterfly
Imagine More Cartridge - for the patterned paper for the letter shadowing
Perfect Pearls - Camera flash, lens, and around lens; Clock flourish
Imaginisce i-rocks
Prima flowers


Here's hoping I win an Original Scrapbox Workbox to organize my overflowing ensemble of crafting tools.

Crafters Block

I have crafters block....I am trying to think of something fantastic for the Cricut Blog monthly challenge, but I am stuck!  I even got myself a bunch of new crafting toys from the Tim Holtz collection...yet here I sit waiting for inspiration to strike.  I really could use that awesome storage cabinet too!  Of course I am sure we all feel the same there.  Well I have a few more days to think... hope everyone else's projects are going well.  Later Gators!

Simple Christmas Shutter Card

Here is a simple shutter card I made for christmas....probably will make more elaborate ones when I get my Sizzix Pop-up dies in the mail.

Birthday Card

This is a birthday card I made for one of my good friends that lives on the other side of America.  I made it using cuts from the Imagine More Cards Cartridge.  Have a great Saturday!

Halloween Easel Card

Here is an easel card that was inspired by Amanda... I just tweaked it a bit.  (thanks for the inspiration Amanda!) (Amanda's Blog:  http://amandascraftsandmore.blogspot.com/) 

This Card was made using cuts from Mini Monsters Cartridge and paper patterns from Imagine More Cartridge. Also used wiggle eyes and a Halloween brad. I made this card to send out to my mom from me and my family.  I like to send cards out to my family and friends for any occasion and no occasion at all since we live so far away from them.  I think it is a fun way to let them know we are thinking of them and miss them.  Have a wonderful night all!

Thanks

Thanks Kristen and Beau.  I was so shocked and excited....my kids and I did a happy dance this morning...lol. You  are my first followers and I just wanted to give a shout out and say Thank You!

I WON!!!  I can't believe it!  Thank You Cricut Circle and Staff!!!!!!

This is the first big prize I ever won.  I won a pair of earrings when I was 8 in a raffle and a CPR barrier mask in my CPR class (Now there is a prize I hope to never have to use).  That is all I recall.... But this is by far the greatest prize! (A Pink Cricut Expression and the Pink Journey Cartridge).  Once again...Thank You!

Cricut Weekly Challenge #2: Think Pink!

Here is my Entry for this weeks challenge...

Since The Sky was the limit I wanted to do something 3D and it to be special... I would like to dedicate this to all those who lost their lives to breast cancer.

For this project I used cuts from Once Upon a Princes (castle); Stand and Salute (ribbon); and JT (wing)

Here is a pic of my main materials for this project...

....  also the porcelain head and arms and a styrofoam cone I used to make the body. (not in pic)

I must admit I was surprised at how well the Cricut cut out my 3/4 ribbons from silky delicate material.

These are what I ironed on to the silky white dress I made her...worked beautifully!!!!

This project took 3 full days to do...but i had so much fun doing it!

If any one has any questions or comments I look forward to them!  :)

This is my first blog ever as well as my first craft contest...How exciting...lol!
