FIF Twinkle Toes

Happy Friday! Today starts a new challenge over at Flaunt It Fridays. The challenges are now every two weeks, so it gives you plenty of time to be able to create something and enter it. :) Cool huh?

For this challenge, we are making a project that uses Twinkle Toes. Any type of project and any cut from Twinkle Toes. It was really hard for me to choose cause there are just so many cute cuts on that cartridge. Here is what I came up with:



I cut out the frame from the twinkle toes cartridge at 4" and the ballerina at 3.5". I added some pink satin ribbon to make her little tutu to give the card some dimension. So cute! Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking a look at my latest creation! Don't forget to head over to Flaunt It Fridays to see what the rest of the DT made and to enter the challenge! Have a great crafty day!


Supplies:
Cricut--Twinkle Toes
Card Stock--White (PTI), Pink Pirouette & Melon Mambo (SU!), Brown and Tan (American Crafts)
Cuttlebug--Swiss Dots
Ribbon--Offray

Forever Young

Happy Friday! Is everyone ready for the weekend? Today marks a new challenge week over at Flaunt It Fridays. For this week's challenge, you need to make something with the FOREVER YOUNG cartridge and the cut choice this week is Model 1, Emblem (Silhouette feature). You can create anything you want and for an extra challenge try to create something different from last week's project. Here's my project:




I decided to leave this card blank, so it could be easily used as a note card to send to someone to let them know that I am thinking of them. My Emblem was cut out at 3" and for my border across the bottom, I used the border feature from All Occasion cake Art.

If you do not own this cart feel free to use any similar cut from any cartridge, you have one week to enter the challenge. So, head on over to Flaunt It Fridays to enter your project, we are looking forward to seeing what you create!



Supplies:
Cricut--Forever Young & All Occasion Cake Art
Cardstock--White (PTI), Grey (Bazzill), Pink Pirouette (SU!)
Misc.--iRock, American Crafts Ribbon, Ticket Corner Punch(SU!)

Note Pad Holder

Happy Friday! Are you all ready for the weekend? Friday marks the beginning of a new challenge over at Flaunt It Fridays. For this week's challenge we are flaunting the skull from the Mini Monsters cartridge on page 65. If you would like to enter our challenge please make a NON-Halloween project and we challenge you to make something different from what you made last week, for example if you made a card last week make a layout, altered item, etc. this week.

Here is what I came up with:





I found these cute little mini memo pads in a pack of 5 from the dollar store, so I decided to make a little mini notepad cover for this week's challenge. They are so simple to make. I cut my cardstock to 10.5" by 3.75" and scored at 5 1/8" and 5 3/8". Attched the notbook onto the inside back cover with some sticky strip and decorated the front. Easy Peasy! I haven't quite figured out what I will be using it for yet. I have thought about a food journal, a password keeper, or dare I say it.....a record of my crafty spending. Yikes! I am trying to get better this year and only buy what I need versus every cute thing I see. haha! Yeah right! Wish me luck on that! :)

I hope you liked my project and I am looking forward to seeing what you create for this week's challenge. So, head on over to Flaunt It Friday's and let us see what you come up with. Have a great crafty day!

Flaunt it Fridays Hello Kitty Blog Hop

Hi! Welcome to the Flaunt It Friday's Hello Kitty Blog Hop. If you got here from Carley's Blog then you are in the right spot. If you just so happened to stumble across the hop by visiting my blog and would like to start from the beginning, please go to the Flaunt It Friday's page to start from the beginning.

For this week's challenge we were asked to flaunt the Hello Kitty with Airplane on Page 65 from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cart. I am trying to get a jump start on my Valentine projects so this is what I came up with:



Isn't she just the cutest? I cut out the Hello Kitty in the Plane at 3". Since I was going with a Valentine theme, I covered the star on the plane with a heart from the SU! small heart punch. I chalked some clouds onto my white layer and added Hello Kitty onto the white layer with an action wobble to give her some movement. It's like she's really flying! :) The sentiment was printed out from my computer onto pink card stock and then I just trimmed it to make it look like a flying banner and attached it with some foam adhesive.

For my second project, we got to choose any cut from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge and I chose the HK9 image on page 49 in the handbook. I decided to stick with the Valentine theme and alter a mini paint can filled with some M&M's to give to someone on Valentine's Day. Here it is:



I just love how this turned out and am so pleased with it. Hello Kitty was cut out at 3" and then I stamped the sentiment into the middle of the heart with a SU stamp. I used my nestabilities for the scallop circles on the top of the can and then cut out the heart (from page 52) at 1.25". I then added lots of ribbon to the handle. Chances are pretty good that my son will be giving this to his girlfriend next month. :)

Now onto the blog candy. :) I am going to give away the following to one lucky winner:

Party Animal!

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday! We are getting quite a bit of snow right now so I am snowed in but that's OK cause I am going to craft the day away. :)

I made the following card for the challenge over at Flaunt It Fridays. The challenge for this week is make a project with the turtle from Create A Critter. I was going to make a gift bag for my daughter's BFF's upcoming birthday but since my daughter doesn't really know what she will be getting her yet, I decided to make a card for now and then a matching gift bag later when the gift gets bought. So for now, here is the card:




I love all the images on Create A Critter, they are all so cute and this little turtle is no exception. I got the party hat from the Create A Critter cart as well.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog and see my latest creation. I really do appreciate it. I hope you stay warm and have a great crafty day!
