Cricut challenge

I have been trying to do the challenges every night on the Cricut message board.  Some nights it is harder than others to get it done. Especially when I don't get off work until 6pm. Here is tonights challenge. It is a card for my second granddaughter that is due very soon.

 

I made this layout for tonights challenge on the Cricut message board.

My daughter has a band concert coming up and I thought I would get a head start on the layout.

I made this card using my new A Child's Year cart.  I made this one kind of simple thinking that I may send it to my Grandpa so I did not want it to be to girly looking.  It is very hard for me not to add and bling, stickles or flowers to anything I create.  I love this paper pack from K&Co.  It is very thick and double sided.  You can't tell from the picture but I did layer the sillouette on with pop dots with a shadow behind the image.

Altered ATG

Yay me!  I had bought an Atg last year and altered it purple as soon as I got it.  Well it turned out to be one of the defective ones so I sent it back and was sent a new one along with atg tape for my trouble :)

(Dummy me.  I fought with that first gun forever.  I guess I thought it was suppose to be hard to pull the tape on.  The new one is like butter! LOVE IT!!)

Anyway when I received my replacement I was feeling pink that day I guess cause this is how it ended up.  I could not find any rub ons that I really loved so I just cut the flourish from a cricut cart out of  white contact paper.  Added stickles and bling.  I bought my first bottle of Glimmer Mist and used it on the gun and the flowers.  Ok, I am now addicted to Glimmer Mist.  I may try and make my own though because I am going through that bottle very quick. 

Mailbox

Here is a one of the mailboxes I bought at Target.  I used a Valentine paper pack also from Target and some of my scraps to make this. This was the first mailbox I have altered.  It went together really fast!

My new look!

Yep, it's still me:) I was just in the mood for a change so I thought I would go pink for a while. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!!

Sour Cream Containers

This was my first shot at making sour cream containers. I don't remember what size I cut the paper maybe 6 x 4 1/2? Anyway I put 1 reese's peanut butter cup and 1 mini Hershey's in them. I used a dollar stamp that I bought at Michael's last year. The paper is from a Martha Stewart pack that I picked up on clearance. These went together really fast!

Baby girl tag album

Our second grandchild is due in March so I wanted to make her an album to put the first photos in. This is a toilet paper tag album. They are super easy to make. This one has 4 pages with tags. I just need to add mats and photos.
