Marker Holder

This month's challenge on the Cricut Circle Blog is to Reuse, Repurpose and Recycle.  We needed to use 3 reused or recycled items and 2 cricut cuts to complete the project.  This challenge was great for me, because I have been wanting to decorate the gatorade container that my prisma color markers are in. 

So, I started with a powdered gatorade container, and covered it with paper from my stash. Around the top I added some ribbon that used to be the straps on an old dress my daughter had, but she cut a hole in. (Aren't 3 year olds great?)

Then I made some scalloped circles on m Imagine that are filled in with patterns from the Yummy Cartridge.  In the center of the flowers I put a lid from a jar of flower embellishments, and inside that I put another scalloped circle and the phrase which is cut from Cricut Everyday.

The flourishes are also cut from the Imagine Yummy Cartridge (I think it is one of my fav's right now!)

This was super simple and fast and it looks so much prettier than the ugly orange gatorade can!  Now to empty another one for the rest of my markers!  

 Gatorade anyone??????

Feeling Springy!

I have been so busy this week with my family visiting that I haven't really had much time to create, but while being lazy here at home while everyone else is tucked into bed, I decided to play and change up the blog a little!  Let me know what you think, and be sure to check out the "Share the Love" spot, it is a good spot for find some great talent and inspiration!

Circut Circle Weekly Challenge # 27

The weekly challenge for the Cricut Circle Blog is "Make a Game Plan." We had to make a sketch and follow it for this challenge.  I am not a sketch follower, and deinately not a sketch  maker, but I gave it a shot!

Here is my card for the challenge.

I used the Imagine Yummy cartridge for the cake and the sentiment. I also used my CB folder for the embossing, I used Coordiation paper and sanded it. The patterned paper is from DCWV.

Here is a picture of my sketch...keep in mind, I am not a drawer!!!! LOL

Thanks for looking!!!!  Have a great day!

Accessorize!

This LO is for the Just Because Weekly challenge on the Circle Blog.  This is my daughter last year, she went all day wearing her goggles and a diaper.  I tried to put clothes on her and she would take them off. 

The papers are from recollections, but are very similar to a DCWV small stack....hmmmm stange! 

I tried to hide all of her "parts" that don't need to be seen with words and other emblishments.  - I do try to keep my scrapbooks "G" rated! :)

 The goggles are cut from H2O, "Accessorize" is cut from Forever Young in 3 sizes, "stylin" and "Fashion" are cut from Groovy Times, and the cute Turtle is from Paisley.  (my daughter's name is Paizley, that is the only reason I bought this cart, but I love it now!)

Thanks for looking, I hope you all have a great day!

Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Guts

I know it is spring and we are supposed to be making flowers, not jack-o-lanterns, but the mood struck me to do some scrapbooking from fall.  Maybe it is the lack of pollen in the fall, I don't know, but I just finished this layout a little bit ago. 

I used Don Jaun for the font and Pumpkin Carving for the faces.  The paper is DCWV Autumn splendor.

Here is a close up of the left side.

I know, the  pictures aren't the greatest, but it is late and I am tired! I didn't realize they were that bad until I had them loaded already!

Anyway, Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Thinking of you Card

 My apologies this digi stamp is from Squigglefly digital stamps.  I am so sorry for causing any confusion.

 I made this card in a flash with the help of the digi and my Imagine.  I used the Blossom cartridge for the yellow paper with the flowers and cut out one of the original shapes that is on the machine.  I used my big shot to emboss the pink paper and used white chalk ink to ink it just a little to make it pop.  The flowers have gem brads in the center. 

I have entered this card in the following challenges
Do you Stack up - Shine on
Pile it on - Bling
Whoopsie Daisy - Easter Colors
Sugar Creek Hollow- anything goes
Paper Cutz Challenge- anything goes
Teddy Stampers-embossing
Your next stamp- sparkle

Thanks for looking and have a scrap-tastic day!
