Celebrate the Occasion #18...

Hi everyone!  

I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD be!  The CTO challenge #18 is up and it was a great one--4th of July *red, white and blue*!!

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!  I cannot wait to see what you create!

Who doesn't like the 4th of July?  It means summer is finally here (at least where I live), we celebrate our awesome country, you get to see fireworks, and eat yummy food!  My house seems to be pretty empty once all the Easter decorations come down so I figured it needed some fun 4th of July decorations!! 

This is just a 2x6 board cut to 12".  The striped paper is CTMH and the freedom words are cut from Opposites Attract cartridge and the stamped words are from CTMH stamp sets.  The firecracker was bought from the dollar store quite awhile ago.

Thanks for Celebrating the Occasion with us!

I am also entering this into the following challenges...

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #66

Celebrate the Occasion #12...

Hi everyone!  

I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD be!  The CTO challenge #12 is up and it was a great one---Graduation!  Hard to believe it is that time of the year!! 

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!

I have actually gotten quite a few announcements for graduation this year and was excited to make this card.  Our local high-school colors are gold and green, so that was my inspiration this time.  I got the square cuddlebug folder awhile ago and haven't been able to use it yet...love it!

I cut the graduation gown from Everday Paper Dolls and the Congrats from the Gypsy Wandering.  The back white accent is from the Gypsy Wandering too.

Hope you enjoy it and enjoy Celebrating the Occasion!!

Celebrate The Occasion #10...

Hi everyone!  

I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD be!  The CTO challenge #10 is up and it was a great one---Birthday with a sketch!  

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!

 

This sketch provided so much inspiration for me, I couldn't decide which way to go.  I actually made 3 cards with different things and decided I liked this one best.  Still not sure, but oh well, here it is!

I used the Accent Essential cartridge for the shape and Christmas cartridge for the Happy.  The button is from CTMH and the rick rac and paper is from my stash.

Celebrate the Occasion #8...

Hi everyone!  I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD be!  The CTO challenge #8 is up and it was a great one---Anything Birthday but must include a flower!  

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!

These challenges are about being challenged...right?  

So I decided to put away the Cricut for this one and see if I could create something with just paper.  I used Adorn It paper and really like how it turned out.  To add to the challenge for me, this is not my color medium...I like bright, cheerful colors, so I challenged myself twice :).  I hope you take the challenge and join us!!

CTO Challenge #6...

Hi everyone!  I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD!  The CTO challenge #6 is up and it was a great one---Thank you with a tag on the project!  

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!

I used the Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge and Tags, Bags and More and welded them together using my new Gypsy!  I have wanted to try this for quite a while.  I chalked the strawberry with Stampin' Up, added a ribbon from my stash and some random bling that I had on hand.  Inside I wrote "Thank you BERRY much!"

I hope you like my take on the CTO challenge!  Cannot wait to see what you do with it!!

Celebrate the Occasion...challenge #4...

 

Hi everyone!  I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week!  The CTO challenge #4 is up and its a FUN one...St. Patrick's Day!  Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!

I used the Simply Charmed leprechaun and the 4-leaf clover border is from Everyday Paper Dolls.  I chalked the cheeks of the leprechaun and used brads for his accents.  The borders of the leafs are laced with glitter too!  I had the perfect pictures for this little page and thought it turned out super cute!  I hope you like my take on the CTO challenge!

Celebrate the Occasion....Design Team...Challenge!!!

Celebrate the Occasion picked ME to be a part of their design team!! I couldn't be more thrilled.  

I cannot wait to share with you what I create and see what everyone else comes up with!!  

Watch for me on Design Team #2!!

In celebration of the new design team the challenge this week is 

ANYTHING GOES with a Birthday Theme!!

I used Create A Critter snake cut for this card.  The snake is cut at 3 1/2" and the Just 4 you phrase is cut at 2 1/2". 

Hope you enjoy!!
