Sweet Summer Door Hanger (BBTB Contest and Card Patterns Sketch #22)



I have really been having a good time making Door Hangers instead of cards! They are a bit bigger than a card and you can incorporate a sketch into them so well!

For this one I used the Card Patterns Sketch #22. I love to try their sketches! I'm going on vacation next week so I'm trying to get my fill of scrapping and card making in now!!!

Bitten By the Bug has a contest going on right now where you need to have:

**a summer theme

**cuts from any cricut cartridge (I used Lyrical Letters for the bird, the bush (it is behind all the flowers), and sweet summer and George for the flowers)

**incorporate a yellow button somewhere in it (I've got a big one and several small ones along with a lot of other colors)

The paper is from the Basic Grey Lime Rickey 6 X 6 paper pack.

It is very eclectic and a little outside my normal style but I'm going to put it on my door at work! Just a way to have some art on my door! Maybe it will make someone smile!

I guess this also qualifies for the Pile It On Challenge because this weeks is to have 4 buttons ~ I'm new to that challenge ~ not sure how many times you can post something on it! But I'm on a roll with buttons and challenges this week!

Another Patriotic Door Hanging (4 challenges in One!)


In my last post I made a 4th of July door hanging and one of the awesome comments (there were lots of them ~ thank you all) suggested I do one for the Cuttlebug Challenge. I don't have a lot of cuttlebug dies but I do have these cool nesting stars! The challenge was to use cuttlebug dies (of course), red white and blue, and buttons. I also used the word freedom from the cricut Graphically Speaking cartridge which is the Bitten By the Bug Challenge. I used the general layout of the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch this week again! It does look different then the first one! And last but not least the Pile It On Challenge was to use 4 buttons and as many challenges as possible. I've used round buttons, star buttons and little glittery buttons so there are a lot of buttons on here! I am a little worried it is too busy but it is pretty fun! Thanks for stopping by! I hope everyone is having a great 4th of July!
