BITTEN BY THE BUG 2 CHALLENGE: WELCOME

Hello Crafty Friends!

"WELCOME BANNER"

Here is my submission for the

Bitten By The Bug 2's:

"Welcome Friends Challenge"

For this challenge, I decided to make my first home decor project.  It's a small banner to hang on the door of my scraproom.  To cut the word "Welcome" I used the Storybook Cricut Cartridge with the shadow accent.  For the scalloped ovals, I used Cricut Craft Room Basics, which comes included when you download Cricut Craft Room.  Each oval is attached with foam dots to create dimension.  On the pale pink oval, I embossed using my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots folder.  I used pink self-adhesive rhinstones for a touch of bling.  For the background, I used the same pale pink paper as the smallest oval, and a Martha Stewart border punch gave black cardstock a delicate edge.

I absolutely love how this project came out.  Don't you?!

Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #234

Hello Crafty Friends!

"ROUND CARD"

Here is my submission for the

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #234

and the

Made Especially For You Challenge -- Distressed Ink

I used A Happy Heart 6x6 paper pad by My Mind's Eye:

Inside

Back

So, for this card, I used the Cricut Craft Room Basics (preloaded in the Cricut Craft Room) to make the scalloped circle and shadow.  For the center circle, I used the "donut" from the Love You A Latte Cricut Cartridge.  I made a rosette using the Martha Stewart Scoring Board.  Cut the small circle center with the 1" MS circle punch.  I used 7Gypsies Binding Ribbon to tie the card, and for the bow.  To punch the holes on top and to set gold eyelets, I used my Crop-A-Dile.  I distressed all the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.  I used foam dots to give each layer dimension.  Also, each paper was mounted on Kraft paper by Recollections to make it more sturdy.

BTW, we had a choice between 2 sketches:

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #233

Hello Crafty Friends!

"LAUGH OUT LOUD"

Here is my submission for the

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #233

For this challenge, all of the papers I used are from DCWV -- "Everyday" Extreme Paper Stack.  I guess if I put some of my scraps away, you guys would get a different color palette!  But, I do love this stack, so I want to use it all! :-)  Anyway, I used a Martha Stewart punch (1" scalloped circle), and 3 gold buttons from my stash to create the "flower".  I also used some pink and white twine, and a gold metallic marker to trace the edges so they would pop.  I used foam dots so the flower would have some dimension.  I also used a Martha Stewart border punch for the heart strip.  For the inside of the card, I used one of my trusty $1.00 stamps from Michael's.

I am also linking up this project to:
