Sweets and Treats Layout

Good morning everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I am posting my project today for the Cricut Challenge Blog. This week’s challenge was…Halloween! While I personally don’t celebrate halloween, I do pass out candy. I love to see the little children in their non-scary costumes. So my project is inspired by that.

Here is a view of my entire layout. The “Sweets” letters were from my Alphalicious Cartridge and the candies and candy apple were all from the October 31st cartridge. The circular border was an EK Success border punch.

The cute little bear is a cut file that I designed.
He is available at Page-Kits.com as both a cutting file and a digital stamp. He will also be on a Kit that will be released later this week.

Have a wonderful day!

Quickutz Stocking Card

Good afternoon Everyone,

I wanted to do a quick post on this week’s DT Pile It On Challenge. This week our assignment was to use the colors: Red, Green and White and Then Something Soft. So to make my card, I used the QuicKutz Stocking Die. I cut the stockings out in Red, Blue and Green and Then I used Felt for the tops of the stockings….that is my something soft.

I then colored the bear image with a combination of my printer and Copic Markers. I finished off the stamp with a little stickles on the bears pom poms and the band of his cap.

I used the cute Teddy Bear image from this week’s sponsor: Stampin’ Dragon. Be sure to hop over and visit them. They have some super cute images. Also be sure to hop over to PIO(Pile It On) and join the fun. You could win Here are the challenges that my card applies to.

Cream of the Crop Layout

Good morning my Fantabulous Friday Friends!!!,
Welcome to another Fantabulous Friday! I am the Girl Friday at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. Please be sure to hop over there and check out my complete Friday post: HERE.
Today I am changing gears just a bit. For the last two weeks I have been focusing on a particular cartridge. But today, I am going to post on a particular “image” or cut. I was working on a project with a Fall-Halloween theme. I was looking for a Crow.

So, I went to my Gypsy to do a search of what cuts were available. So here is what I came up with.

Here is a cut from October 31st Cartridge

Here is a cut from the Cupcake Wrappers Cartridge

While both of these are fine, neither was what I was looking for…so the hunt was on! I began doing a search on the net. I was looking for an SVG file that I could use to cut with my Cricut. For those of you that are unfamiliar with what an SVG is: it is a file format that allows you to use your Cricut along with a third party software to cut the file-die cut. I found a couple of freebies.

This project which features a FREE set from Deena Rutter has a couple of crows in it.

You can go to the FANTABULOUS CRICUT CHALLENGE BLOG to get the download for this set. While this was also really nice, it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for.

Here is a project she made using them. This was her challenge project for this week. Be sure to take a look at the rest of the wonderful designs and join the challenge: You Can go HERE for the challenge.

I then decided to work on making some up: I made this cutting file set: I called it the Crow Trio. You can get details and purchase it at PaperCraftingWorld.com

And then I made this cutting file set, I called this one Crows, Silly Crows. You can purchase this set at Page-Kits.com as well: CLICK HERE

Then I made this set: This one I called, Cream of the Crop-Crows. This one isn’t available for sale….yet. But hopefully it will be processed in the next few days. You can check out the link for it though: HERE

So while on my Crow making frenzy, I made this little crow using my Cricut and some of the Cricut cuts (sorry, I don’t have a pattern for him…yet).

I did make this kit with some of the Cream of the Crop Crows. It is available in limited quantity at Page-Kits.com: HERE

Last but not least, I made this quick and cute little crow.

You can download the FREE cutting file HERE.

Available formats: AI, DXF, GSD, KNK, MTC, SVG, SCUT(scal 2.0) and WPC. It’s Available FREE only through Sunday evening, October 24th, ‘10

Well, I guess that’s it for today.
