Tropical Parrot Layout

READ THE BOTTOM OF THE POST TO FIND OUT HOW TO WIN ALL THESE FREE FILES!

Hello Everyone!

Hope you're all having a wonderful week! What a week for me...my baby offically started high school!!! Man, time sure does fly!

Here is my project for this week's FCCB challenge. The challenge is "Tropical - Hot". I don't know about you, but where I live....it is HOT! So this fits nicely into the Central Florida weather during August.

So here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a closeup of the Parrot. I designed him. He can be cut on your Cricut if you have SCAL or MTC.

Here is a closeup of the floral spray. I designed the leaves, bamboo and hibiscus. In fact the hibiscus flower was a giveaway file I did a few weeks back. So here's an idea on using it :-)

Here is a closeup of the Bird of Paradise I designed. Those flowers are just so unique in real life. Coming from a Northern state and moving south, I remember being so intrigued by all these different tropical flowers I had never seen before.

I will try and finish the "CRICUT VERSION" that I started soon!

Well that's it for today! I hope you will hop over to FCCB and check out what the Design team did this week! Some fabulously HOT projects! Be sure to enter yours too! As always, there are some fabulous prizes to give away!

Happy Fall Y'All Layout

Good morning all,

I wanted to share a layout I did with a fall theme. It seems a bit early to be thinking about fall already. But that may be because of where I live. It is still so hot here in sunny Florida.

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a closeup of the little scarecrow. He was a file I created.

The wheat was from the "My World" cartridge.

The apples were from Plantin School Book

The little tags were from Plantin School Book also. I just cut "slits" in the tags to make them look more rustic.

The harvest bucket was a sizzix die as was the pumpkin. The little sunflowers were Prima flowers. I purposely used those because I wanted a little texture.

The letters for the title were cut from Learning Curve and the wood frame for the mats were just pieces I hand cut.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful Day!

NOW, onto my Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog Creation for this week.

Our assignment for this week was: The GREAT OUTDOORS!

So here's my take on this challenge. I created the little Smore Guy from Camping Out. The letters were from Simply Sweet.

Here is a close up of the cute little "Cricut Version" Smore Guy!

Now here is my version. I used the Simply Sweet Cartridge for the lettering and created the Smore Guy in this one. I had done him originally and then decided to try and find cuts on my carts that were close enough to create a "Cricut" version.

Here's a closeup of my original version. This one can be cut from the Cricut with SCAL or MTC software and no cartridge.

Well that's it for today. Be sure to drop by the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and enter your Great Outdoors Project! There is a nice prize up for grabs!

Thank you for stopping by :-) I will be back soon with more fun stuff! Please stay tuned!

Memories To Preserve Layout using Preserves Cartridge

Hello Everyone,
Here is another quick post today!

This is a layout using the Preserves Cartridge. I also used the MS Deep Edge Punch and an EK Success Slim Line Border Punch.

The word Preserve comes from the Cartridge as well. I just cut off the "s" as it was plural in the cut out :-)

Here is a closeup of the pear and raspberries. I inked them with different chalk inks and then I used Fired Brick Distress Stickles on the Raspberries. It gave them some nice dimension and sparkle without being too "glitzy".

Here is a close up of the Raspberrry cluster. I used the VersaMarker Watermark pen to give the leaves their lines.

Here is a view of the other Pear and Raspberries.

Hope you are inspired to "Preserve" Your memories!
