Creepy Crawler - Challenge Me Monday

Challenge me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut Woo Hoo!!!

Challenge #16
Creepy Crawlers w/ Orange
Create a project using any type of bug and the color orange somewhere on your project.

Snails to me are really creepy crawlers, slimy and yucky! .... but not this snail she is a cute as can be with her flower and orange gingham bow on her head.

I used Create A Critter for the snail, the word special and the large background "postage stamp" shape, then Doodletype cartridge was used for the U R letters.

The snail and accessories are on page 67 of the handbook. The postage stamp was cut at 5" the snail and accessories cut at 2 1/2" (no real dial size, so everything was cut in the correct proportion). The word special was cut at 1 1/4" cutting twice once in orange then again in black for a shadow effect.
The U R was cut at 3/4" again twice each.

This tutorial may be very simple to the avid computer users, and hopefully understandable to not so avid users. If you have any questions please ask, and I'll be happy to answer them the best I can.

This is the card I made using my tutorial.

A Beary Big Gift -Delightful Inspiations

I got a cute image to play with from Designed 2 Delight.
On Faith's blog, Delightful Inspirations, she gives away a free digital stamp when you play along each week by creating a card or other project using her image. This week is "A Beary Big Gift" a simply cute image.

I did not color this image at all, instead I printed the image on different colored papers. I printed twice on brown, once on orange then again on a patterned paper (it looks like a splash of two colors orange and pink). After printing I just cut around the image that I wanted in that color. I used pop-dots to give dimension. I did add just a little chalking on the bear and his nose. Super easy and super cute!
