Challenge #146
January 28th - Time Flies
Include a clock or something pertaining to time

We invite you to create any project featuring a cricut cartridge cut that has to do with time.

Be sure to upload your entry on the FCCB.

 Here's what I have created for this challenge:

 

 

When I saw the Cricut Craft Room Seasonal Characters I knew I had to create a layout with Baby New Year and Father Time. They are super cute. Don't you agree?

 

 

Close Up Page 1

 

Close Up Page 2

 



You might recognize a couple of other Cricut Carts on this layout too.

For my title I used Create A Critter 2. No welding invloved! The Happy New Year title is super easy to cut and use. And my big Clock Tower was created using the Creative Memories Traveler Cartridge. I simply cut off the very top part of it to make it look like this.

 

 

I also fancy cut some of the orange designs in the patterned paper and pop dotted them around the layout. Kind of like special snowflakes!

Products used to create this layout:

StorytellersClub printed paper

Bazzill and cardtsock

pop dots

Blue Brad on clock

 

I didn't add photos on this yet but don't worry I will. I have about 4 years of catching up on layouts to do. LOL!

I hope that you have enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. I love receiving comments and new followers. It means so much to me! So please feel free to drop me a note and follow my blog for more inspiration, giveaways, and tips.

Hello scrappy friends, Connie with Connie Can Crop here to share my lastest Creative Kuts Layout TeaRiffic Time

 

I really enjoyed creating this layout because as you may know I have boys only in my house so I never get to play with pink or sweet little girls. I had to create this with lots of pinks and you know I had to add some bling! LOL!

 

Doesn't this file make you want to have a tea party with your kids or grandkids? I know I want too!

Happy Chinese New Year

Hello scrappy friends, Connie with Connie Can Crop here to share my lastest Creative Kuts Masterpiece Layout entitled : Happy New Year

 

I wish I celebrated the Chinese New Year because Cheryl really outdid herself with this file. Don't you agree? This amazing file includes everything seen here except the bottom border and photo mats. The paper I chose to use was from some really old CM customer gifts. It's bright colors and patterns were the perfect fit!

 

Page 1 up close 

 

 

 These little boy bears with the dragon are my favorite part of this file!

 

Page 2 up close

 

 

This photo mat topper can be made a boy or girl dragon.

 

 

And this little girl bear just makes me smile. She is so cute!

 

 

The lanterns all have black twine hanging them off the tops of the pages. And there is alot of pop dots being used here to give it that great 3D look!

 

 

This layout is available in my ebay store. Please feel free to come check it out along with all of my other layouts and projects.

It's Challenge Me Monday over at

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog

and this week's theme

is

It's A MAN's World

 

We invite you to create any project featuring a cricut cartridge cut that is masculine.

That's it! Easy peasy..right?

Be sure to upload your entry on the FCCB.

 

Here's what I have created for this challenge:

 



 

I chose to use Creative Memories Traveler Cartridge for both the tent and the title. This cart has so many awesome designs as well as several font choices. Don't know where to buy it?....ask me!!

I made the tent look like there is 3 layers but it is really only two. I used my copics to add that 3rd color. Wala!

 

 

This is my young man attending his last Boy Scout Camp before he decided he didn't want to be a scout anymore. It was a sad day when he made the decision. I was his leader all through cubscouts and he truly loved being a scout. But I guess when they enter high school they find new dreams and ways to spend their time. For my son, it's all about the Band and Drumline, and I couldn't be more proud of him!

 

I hope that you have enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. I love receiving comments and new followers. It means so much to me! So please feel free to drop me a note and follow my blog for more inspiration, giveaways, and tips.

Ready to join in the fun? Let's go!

 I have been working on this layout all week and it fits perfect for this blog hop as well!

So I asked Cheryl over at Creative Kuts if I could give away this file and show it off for all of you.

 

I didn't use the cute borders that came with this file because I wanted more room for more photos.

I also hand cut a hitch to put on the last train car and tied my balloons to the hitch.

 

I used twine for the balloons and bling on my clock. For my sand I used gold stickles.

My family's pics of this New Years will look amazing on this layout!
