FCCB #294: Valentine's Day!

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!

I'm pretty excited! This is my first project as a DT member for the FCCB team!! Yay!!

Challenge #294-Valentines Day
Make a project about Valentines Day.

This Weeks Sponsor

A Valentine Bundle!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!

Here is my project-

This little box was so super easy to make! I cut my box out from the Spring Holiday Cards Cartridge, assembled it and then cut a 1" strip from patterned paper and wrapped it around my box. I cut the Scallop Doily from the Elegant Edges cartridge, added a circle to the center and popped it up with foam tape to the front of the box. That cute little Valentine Cupid Teddy Bear came from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge. After I had him all assembled, I also used some foam tape to pop him up onto the front of the doily. I finished off my box with some pearls in the bottom corner and a white satin bow at the top. The inside is filled with 3 fun size packs of candy.

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look at my latest creation!

Bitten By The Bug 2---Old Stuff Day

Happy Monday!

Are you guys ready for another fun challenge that starts today over at

Bitten By The Bug 2?

This week is all about using a Cricut Cartridge that you have not used in awhile in honor of National Old Stuff Day.

I decided to get a head start on some Easter projects by making a cute little treat bag.

I cut my bag out of the Once Upon A Princess cartridge. Once I had that assembled, I cut a small square of patterned paper to layer onto the front. Isn't that little bunny cute? He is from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge. I love this cartridge and was quite shocked when I realized that I hadn't used it since September 2013! I added a cute little peachy keen face to him and a fun sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps. I added a few doodles using my white gel pen and some glossy accents to his little bow tie. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

Hi guys!

Happy Thursday!

Are you all ready for the weekend?

Today I get to show you a cute little card that showcases those awesome

Joy's Life Stamps!

This week the design team is showing you projects that

have the theme of Back To School!

I decided to make a card to send to my daughter, who is away at college, to wish her luck this school year.

For my card, I cut out that adorable little teddy bear from the Teddy Bear Parade Cricut Lite cartridge at 3.25". I chalked up her cheeks and added a few freckles with my white gel pen. I paired her up with that awesome sentiment from the Punny Animals stamp set.

Look at all the adorable sentiments on the Punny Animals stamp set:

Use It Tuesday #49---Fasteners

Hi everyone!

Are you guys excited for another great challenge theme starting today at 

Use It Tuesday?

This week is about using up some of your stash of Fasteners: buttons, brads, & eyelets.

When I first started scrapbooking 6 years ago, I was in awe of all the cute little brads that I would find. 

Somewhere along the way, I stopped using all the cute, shaped ones and just stuck to regular round brads. 

For this challenge, I decided to go through my stash of brads and find some that may be feeling a bit neglected from non-use.

Here is the card that I created for this challenge:

See those balloons? 

Those are brads that have been in my stash for 6 years!!!

Whoa!!!

Let me tell you a little bit about the rest of my card.

For my teddy bear, I used the Teddy Bear Parade cricut cartridge and cut her out at 3".

I decided to use a peachy keen stamp for her smile, I can't remember the last time I used those stamps.

I used some stickles for her hat, cupcake icing and the flame on the candle. 

The sentiment I used came from a stamp set from CardzTV stamps. I bought that stamp set back in November I think and just opened it for this card. 

Before attaching my brads to the yellow cardstock, I added a glue dot behind each balloon and attached a piece of hemp cord for the balloon string. Then all I had to do was attached all my layers to my card base, attach my teddy bear and then add a little bit of glossy accents to her hand to hold the strings in place. 

You can read all about the challenge and see the wonderful projects that my DT sisters created at the 

Use It Tuesday Challenge Blog.

Challenge ends Feb. 22, 2013.

I hope you will dig in your stash, find some Fasteners and come play with us, we would love to see what you create!

Happy Wednesday!

All this week the Joy's Life Design Team is showing you cards that use those fabulous Joy's Life Stamps.

I decided to make a Christmas card.

I always need a lot of them and I like them to all be different, that way I don't get too burned out making the same ones over and over again (even though that seems to be the easier way lol).

Here is the card I created:

I am in love with my Teddy Bear Parade cricut cartridge!

All the bears are so cute!

I cut this bear out at 3" and popped him up with some foam adhesive.

My sentiment came from the Wintery Puns stamp set:

How cute is this Elf Definition?!? I love it!
