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.

Leprechauns–CCR - Happy St. Patty’s Day

Good morning friends,

For those that celebrate: Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hopefully there won’t be too much “pinching” on your agenda today…lol! In school it was such a fun day! We got to “assault” our non-green wearing piers!…lol!

Okay, now on for today’s project…It is for Creative Cutter’s New Blog Challenge. So be sure to head over to CCR and enter your project!

http://www.mypapercrafting.com/2011/03/leprechaunsccr-happy-st-pattys-day.html

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a close up of the little leprechaun boy.

Here is a close up of the little leprechaun girl.

Okay, so their not EXACTLY Leprechauns…but they are kind of close…lol!

Here is a close up of the title letters.

I used the Everday Paper Dolls for the leprechauns. All their pieces came from that cartridge. I did however use my Gypsy to “hide contour” some of the different “cuts on some of the images.

I used the Nursery Rhymes cartridge for the title letters and for the scalloped block.

Now be sure to head over to CCR’s Blog and join our challenge.
