Challenge #75: Carnival



Welcome to Cooking With Cricut!  Today is both wonderful and a bit sad.  Wonderful in that we have an awesome project challenge chosen by Chefs Yolie and Celeste.  They chose the theme Carnival or Carnival Birthday. And sad because this Design Team term has come to an end and we must bid a fond farewell to:  Dalis Acevedo, Adrian Allen, Yolie Burke, Debbie Butcher, Holly Gagnon, Celeste Lombas, Felicia McRae, Elizabeth Mindemann, Jenny Richards and Linda Therrien. We wish them all the best in their crafty endeavors. Thank you ladies for helping to make CWC such a fun and inspirational place.
Here is what the ladies created for today's challenge . . .


Yolie created her card using the Carousel cartridge.
 Please visit her blog for more details.




Celeste created this easel card using the Carousel and Birthday Cakes
cartridges.  Check out the details on her blog.




Jen created this 12 x 12 scrapbook layout using the Plantin SchoolBook and
Mickey Font cartridges along with elements from the PaperCraftingWorld.com's
soon-to-be released "Carnival of Fun" cutting set.  Check out all the details on her blog.

Adrian created a framed piece using the Birthday Cakes
cartridge.  Visit her blog for more details.



Heather created this 12 x 12 birthday layout using Create-A-Critter and
Makin' the Grade cartridges.  Check out all the details on her blog.



Charlotte made this birthday card using the Birthday Bash, Beyond Birthdays
and George & Basic Shapes cartridges.  Visit her blog for all the details.

Evelyn from the PCW Design Team joined our carnival fun and created these
party decorations using the soon-to-be released "Carnival of Fun" cutting set

Designer Melin created this cute layout using the soon to be released Clown Digi from PCW. She also used the Art Philosophy cartridge for the banner and font.
Here is a close up of the clown. I printed out the "pre-colored" digi and then added the dimension and shading with my Copic Markers.
