BITTEN BY THE BUG 2 CHALLENGE: BUNNY OR CHICK

Hello Crafty Friends!

"SPRING HAS SPRUNG"

Here is my submission for the
(Use any Cricut Cartridge to create any project featuring a bunny or chick).

I am also linking up this project to:

Just Cards -- "Faux Stitching"














I started off with a 6 1/2"x5" white card base.  The patterned "cloud" paper is from DCWV -- "Everyday" Extreme Paper Stack.  I used the following Cricut Cartridges:  For the Chickies, I used Stretch Your Imagination, for the Eggs, I used Create A Critter, for the Grass, I used Plantin Schoolbook.  To make the cute little chickie faces, I used Critter Faces from Peachy Keen Stamps.  The stamp I used on the inside for the sentiment is from Michael's dollar bin.  I colored it with Super Tips from Crayola Markers.

Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Krafty Girls Challenge #1: Home Sweet Home

Hello Crafty Friends!

"BROADWAY"


This is my submission for the
Krafty Girls Challenge #1:  Home Sweet Home








Being a native New Yorker, and an avid theatre goer, I couldn't think of any better representation of my Home Sweet Home than the Big Apple!  Here, I made a 6"x8" card in the shape of a "ticket" to represent a theatre ticket.  I used both rhinestones and silver stickles to represent the "marquis lights" on the theatres.  I used glitter on everything else.  I cut the word "Broadway" using the Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge, Stretch Your Imagination to cut the "Apple" (which is really a pumpkin), and Plantin Schoolbook to cut the City Skyline.
