Raking Leaves FC Challenge #23

Over at Fantabulous Cricut this week the challenge is The Great Outdoors. Every year we have to go out and rake leaves, so this seemed like a great page idea. I cut the tree from SYI and the title from Life's a Beach. The boy is cut from PDDU....I had to do some changes to get him this way. I cut his hair and pants from the groom, his shirt from the pirate that I then trimmed off the jagged edges, and the shoes from Dracula. The rake I designed in Design Studio. For the leave piles I just ripped up a bunch of paper and glued it on randomly.

Zoo Friends Mini Album

Fantabulous Cricut is having an animal theme shaped mini album challenge. They are giving away a Celebrations Cricut Cartridge as the prize, so I decided to make one. This is my first shaped mini album. I had alot of fun making it. I designed my book in Design Studio and used old cereal boxes instead of chip board. Most of the animals are cut from Create A Critter, even the double sided bird that is actually a tag and can be pulled up. Some of the other things were cut from B is for Boy (Kangaroo) and the branches from the giraffe page were cut from Hoot N' Hooler. I don't own a Bind It All, so I tied my book together with ribbon. I hope you are having a great weekend!
I had to post all the pics in seperate posts so please scroll down to see the rest of the book.

Jitterbuggin Sketch #10

Here is my entry for Jitterbuggin's weekly challenge. You had to use black, white, one more color, the sketch, a punch and a cricut cut. I cut the skunk out from Live Simply and the smaller circles are punched and the big one is cut from George. The sentiment is stamped.

4 pm CC Noel Card

4 pm Cuttlebug Challenge
For this challenge you were to make a card with Noel on it. I couldn't use the .Cut file supplied because I don't have the Christmas Cart that was used in the file....so I made my own in Design Studio using George. The bell I cut from Independense Day (altered a little, so there was no crack). I also added some stitching with my white gel pen.

2 pm CC CD Photo Frame

2 pm Cuttlebug Challenge

For this challenge you were to create a photo frame out of a CD case. I cut some trees and snowmen from decorative paper and a border for the bottom to look like snow. I also cut a photo mat from white and used Swiss Dots on it. The sentiment is stamped and mounted to red and then white paper embossed with Divine Swirls. On the front I cut out the year on my Cricut using George.

8 pm 3D Christmas Tree

8 pm Cuttlebug Challenge
For this challenge you were to make a 3D christmas tree. Here is my version of it. I cut out the triangle box from TBBM. I didn't have a cricut cut that resembled a branch so I punched out a ton of snowflakes. I then inked them with white and folded them in half and then glued them to the tree. The star I created in Design Studio using the star from George and the curly Q's from Accent Essentials.

1 am CC Star Card

1 am Cuttlebug Challenge
This challenge was to make a star shaped card. I did mine with my cricut and cut out the stars using George and Basic Shapes. I used some of these cute House Mouse stickers and a stamped sentiment. I also embossed lines on the edges of the star to make it like candy cane stripes. I don't own many Cuttlebug embossing folders so you will lots of the same patterns. I actually only have 2 that can be used for Christmas type things. I followed along with the directions and this is the cute little card I came up with. Hope you all like it. It was SUPER EASY to do!
