Harvest Blessings Layout

Good morning everyone,

Hope you are ready for a FANTABULOUS WEEK!

To kick things off, here is my project for this week’s Cricut Challenge. Our assignment was to use the color green and to use a circle shape in our project.

So here is my take

I made this one page layout using the following supplies:

Cricut Cartridge: 

Thanksgiving. 

I cut the Harvest, Blessings and holly-leafy type flourishes from this cartridge. I actually cut the titles and the leaves (top layer) of the flourish in regular white cardstock. I then covered them with Olive Vine Glimmer Mist to give them that goldish-green tint. The pictures just don’t do that justice. It is really pretty in person…..Especially because I don’t really care for that color green….but it worked :-) So the green is obvious. As far as the circle shape…Well there are a lot of little circles…in the lace borders, the paisley printed paper and then the jewels. Not obvious, but none the less there :-)

These are just a couple of shots trying to show the gold to green shimmer that the glimmer mist gave these die cuts. Super pretty. Please be sure to head over and enter the challenge. As always, there are great prizes up for each challenge! Plus you will want to see what other fantabulous creations the DT came up with….sure to inspire your bug juices.

Have a Wonderfully Crafty Day!

FREE Files, Video & More

Good morning everyone,

Hope you’re having a wonderful Crafting filled weekend. I am going to announce last week’s Halloween winner on Tuesday. Boy the DT is still getting their picks to me and it is another tough one! SO many beautiful projects! I wanted to share a couple of things today.

First up: DT Member Dalis made this cute card for this week. I am a little late getting on the challenge post, so I wanted to make sure everyone saw it

Dalis used the Raccoon with Apple cutting file from Page-Kits.com. How cute is this little card! Be sure to hop over to our challenge this week and add your creation to the mix! Click the icon on the top left or click HERE

Now, Adrea of the DT made this wonderful card as well. Her leaves and sentiment came from the Cutting Café. The Cutting Café’ was our challenge sponsor last week.

Adrea used her Cricut to cut out the leaves. She made this wonderful video showing how easy it is to convert their files into cutting files!

Wasn’t that a great video! Thank you Adrea for all your hard work and for sharing this! Now you too can purchase files from the Cutting Café and or other sources and convert them and cut away!

Switching gears now just a bit. Here is a card I made with a fall theme. The Digi stamp is from The Message Eph. 4:29. The reason for this one: Our church is doing a “Fast from negative speaking” The Pastor has asked us to really watch what we say, so I was looking for scriptures that I could post around my work area to remind me to think first and speak positive :-)

The flowery flourish (as I call it) was a cutting file I had made a while back. I thought is went well here.

So for the free stuff: Please note: The buttons say “add to cart” but there is no charge for these items. I am in the process of slowly getting all the digital files moved over to a different shopping cart which will allow for immediate download of all digital file purchases

If you would like the FREE Digital Stamp:

If you would like the FREE Cutting File: Note: This zip file contains the following formats: AI, DXF, GSD, KNK, SVG, MTC, and WPC.

These items will be FREE through Monday evening, so be sure to grab them while you can.

Don’t forget about our upcoming BLOG HOP Next Weekend!

The DT is super excited and busy at work getting a lot of great fun and inspiration ready for you!

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for another project I am working on and another FREE file!

BTW: The newsletter will be going out tomorrow evening and here is a sneak peak at the subscriber’s only FREE cutting File. So be sure to sign up so you don’t miss it. It will be available in: AI, DXF, KNK, MTC, SVG, GSD and WPC.
