Pilgrim Frame Give Thanks -A Childs Year Cartridge

I'm guest designer at Everyday Cricut all week long.

Thanksgiving is a time of thanks, a time to gather family and friends together and eat all day long... ok some where in there we take a nap.

Today I'm sharing a lovely Thanksgiving card that I designed in Design Studio, I've used three cartridges for this card, A Child's Year for the pilgrim people, George and Basic Shapes for the oval frames and the rectangle layers, then I used Doodletype for the words "Give Thanks"
I do have a cut file available at the end of this post.

For details about this project please visit Everyday Cricut -HERE.
I purchased my gel pen holder from Amy Chomas -HERE.



I'm so glad you stopped by today, thanks for visiting!

If you download this file, please leave me a comment on this post, it really makes my day great! Thank you. :)

Guest Designer for Everyday Cricut -Leaf Shape Card

I'm so excited that Joy from Everyday Cricut asked me back as a guest designer this week, I had a blast in June when I go to share a few Summer and Father's day projects, view those posts -HERE. This week I'll have a few Fall, Thanksgiving and then Christmas/Winter projects. I hope you'll join me all week long and gather some awesome inspiration for your crafting projects.

I love Fall, it's a gorgeous time of year, I love to see the beautiful colored leaves on the trees, although most are now covering the ground ready to be raked into a huge pile and then jumped into by smiling faces, young and old. :)

My first inspirational project this week is a lovely leaf shaped fall card, I added a birthday sentiment, but it surely could be used for any type of greeting. I have a Design Studio cut file for this project at the end of this post.

For details about this project please visit Everyday Cricut -HERE.
Below is a photo of all that cuts that I used for my card, obviously they are different colors then the above photo, and that's because I'll will be making another card using different colors and this time I'll make a video of the step by step process and that will be coming soon, keep a watch out for it.
I hope you liked the leaf card today and got inspired to create your next project.

If you donwload this file, please leave me a comment on this post, it really makes my day great! Thank you. :)

Snowman Card --using Cricut Cartridge Winter Woodlands

It's Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, and this week it's a Color and Shape challenge.

color "green" and shape "circle"
Use the shape-CIRCLE and color-GREEN somewhere on your Cricut project.

Do you love snowmen... I love snowmen and that saying "Snowmen melt your heart" is true for me. I do hope we will get lots of snow this year, however, I heard that it may be a mild one here, so we'll just wait and see. But in the mean time I can create the cutest snowman here in my crafting space. This snow man is from Winter Woodlands cricut cartridge on page 46 of the booklet and cut at 6 1/2".

For my circle shape I added two green buttons to my cute snowman.

I popped up the snowman from the card to add dimension.


Now you've got to see the clever and amazing projects that the FCCB design team has made, head over to Fantabulous Cricut -HERE.

It's a Bird Bonanza!

Today at Fantabulous Cricut the challenge is to create a project using something having to do with a bird (bird cage, owl, bird, etc.).

I love this bird from the Home Decor cricut cartridge so I couldn't wait to cut him out, I like to think of him as my "Fall Birdie" he's just too cute and ready to sing me a song.
The branch is from Home Decor as well, I cut it out twice using a light brown cardstock and a dark brown to give a bit of a shadow look.
