Challenge #53: Apples & Honey

Today is the beginning of Rosh Hashanah. While maintained to be a Jewish holiday, it is part of the "missed or lost understanding" of our Christian (Hebraic) roots. Among some of the items eaten during this festival, apples and honey are consumed to symbolize a sweet new year.  So happy new year or  L'shanah tovah!

Here are the sweet apple and honey projects our Design Team came up with!

Dalis used Doodlecharms and George & Basic Shapes cartridges to

create this super cute card.  Make sure you check her blog for the details!

Jen created two 12x12 scrapbook layouts for today's challenge.

 The first uses the "Just Because" Cards and Walk in My Garden cartridges.

The second uses the "Just Because" Cards and Doodlecharms cartridges.

Make sure you check out her blog for the "sweet" details!

Melin created this layout using the Heritage, Give a Hoot and Plantin School Book Cartridges.

 


Melin created this layout using the Plantin School Book Cartridge, a PIE SVG file from PaperCraftingWorld and a Lifestyle Crafts (formerly Quickutz) decorative border die.

Melin created this layout using the  Just Because, Forever Young and Lyrical Letters Cartridges.

Here is a close up of the little honey bee holding his honey pot. The honey pot is from the Just Because cartridge and the Honey Bee is from Lyrical Letters and George and Basic Shapes. I did use the Gypsy to do some welding but he could be reproduced without the Gypsy as well.

CWC Cele”Bear”Ation Blog Hop

Good morning Crafty Friends,



Welcome to our Cele”bear”ation Blog Hop!  We’ve been partying all month long in honor of CWC’s first blog-aversary.  This is the place to start our fun hop!


Our theme for today’s party is bears and/or celebrations. As many of you may know, I started this blog as a way to force myself to use my Cricut and PC products. Most of the time it sat there and collected dust. I am truly amazed at how it has grown in one year.



There are so many talented crafters and I have met some of the most wonderful people by having a blog. It has truly been a blessing for me!



So now onto a few projects that I have made with my Cricut, Cartridges and sometimes Gypsy. I selected projects that I have made through out the year that have our “Bear” theme to them :-)


A BOY’S BEST FRIEND


This layout was created for The Bug Magazine’s March/April 2011 edition. It features a bear and puppy. I used the DOODLECHARMS Cartridge and My GYPSY to create the bear and puppy. The Gypsy File was a give away for the magazine.


BEST FRIENDS



This layout was created for a challenge a while back. I created this layout using:
George and Basic Shapes
Everyday Paper Dolls
Animal Kingdom
Preserves
50 States
Walk In My Garden
Cake Basics
Hello Kitty Font
Picturesque
Gypsy to re-size and skew some of the shapes.


CELEBRATE

I Created this layout for our May – Month long celebration. I used the following Cricut Cartridges to create this layout.
George and Basic Shapes,
Simply Charmed Cartridge
Birthday Cakes Cartridge

I used Base Camp and Walk In My Garden to complete this layout.

Here is a close up of one of the flowers from Walk In My Garden.

Here is a layout I created for this challenge. I realize it doesn’t look as “Springy” as it really is. It photographed darker. The pink is a light pink. This is one of those layouts I like to call a “One Hit Wonder” In other words, all the flowers, leaves and sentiment came from one cartridge. The cartridge was the Bloom Lite Cartridge. This also fit nicely into this week’s Cricut challenge at Simply Scrapping. Be sure to head over there and enter in the Cricutlicious fun there too!
