JANUARY MONTHLY CHALLENGE: SCRAPLIFT A CIRCLE BLOG PROJECT!

Here is my project that I scraplifted from Cindy Royal (Dec 24, 2010). I thought it was a cute idea.  I changed it up a little... instead of using a house I did a school.  I thought it would be nice to put in my kid's school office.  I used paper from Bazzill Basics and Imaginisce and a gem from Imaginisce.  Cuts were made from using the following cartridges:  Designer's Calendar, Just Because Cards, My Community, and Plantin School Book.  I enjoyed doing this challenge...now crossing my fingers.  :)

Cricut Dec. Monthly Challenge: Holiday Gifts

I made a cookie jar recipe for the gift.  The Tag is made using cuts from: Very Merry Tags and Winter Woodland. I also Embossed the paper with my cuttlebug.

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!
