Challenge #51: Heritage/Grandparents

Happy Wednesday and welcome to Cooking With Cricut's weekly challenge!  In honor of Grandparent's Day (September 11), the Design Team was challenged to create a project about or for their grandparents or a heritage project.  Almost everyone has a fond memory of a grandparent or older adult who played that role in their lives.  Some are even lucky enough to have memories of or still have their great-grandparents in their lives.  They are our connection to our roots.  And if we ask the right questions, they will provide us with immeasurable wealth -- stories of their past -- of our past!

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~Alex Haley

Stacey created a beautiful Grandparent's Day card using Plantin SchoolBook

and Lovely Floral cartridges.  Make sure you check out her blog for the details.

Jenny used the George & Basic Shapes cartridge for this super cute card.

Stop by her blog for the recipe!

Madison made these cute photo frames of her older brothers using

the Create-A-Critter cartridge.  Hop on over to her blog for the details!

Jen created a heritage layout of her great-grandparents using the Accent Essentials

and Plantin SchoolBook cartridges.  Check out all the details at her blog.

I used the following cartridges to complete this layout.

I used pieces of brown paper to create the border strips and then used my Signo pen to create the faux stitching. I used Diamond and Cinnamon Stickles for the tree and the letters. I used an EK Success border punch and a photo corner punch as well. I used chalks, pop dots and my VersaMarker pen to add dimension to the apples. Thanks for stopping by!
