Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenge- "Here Comes the Summer Sun"

Welcome everyone to the first challenge of July at BBTB2.  This week at Bitten by the Bug 2 it is my turn to hostess the challenge and I decided on
"Here Comes the Sun".  There are so many cute sun cuts on lots of  Cricut carts.  

I hope you will have a lot of fun with this challenge and come back to link up your "Sunny projects".  I can't wait to see what the Design Team members as well as those of you who join us for this challenge create.  Remember you can make a card, layout or any other 3D project as long as you use a Cricut cut.  You have two weeks to create your projects for this challenge.  

Remember you also have one more week for the Patriotic challenge at BBTB2  that started last Monday.  

My layout is of my three granddaughters playing in my backyard with the water table I got at a garage sale recently.  They had so much fun playing together.  

I copied their little chairs with the chair from Life is a Beach and the hat and water pail you can also see in the pictures.  I ended up using a total of 6 Cricut cartridges on this one page.

FCCB Challenge Leaves are Falling

So happy its time for another Monday challenge here at FCCB.  I love seeing what the designers and the challenge participants do each week.  So much inspiration from all of you.  This challenge is called Leaves Are Falling.  I thought this would be a fun card to try out on my Imagine with my new Enjoy the Seasons cartridge.  I am still new with my Imagine but so far I am liking it.  

The card base is from Damask Decor cut at 7 inches.  I took the score lines out with my Gypsy as I do not like the white spots if I don't need them. I then cut a scalloped circle with Fall paper I had for background. 

The tree was cut at 4 inches, the leaves at 4 inches and the hedgehog at 2 inches.  All were printed and cut flat except for the Hedgehog. For him I chose to layer.   I added some glittered leaves, ribbon, buttons, bling and Stickles 

On the inside I used another piece of Fall paper, cut out leaves and acorns 4 inches and added bling and stamp.  Hope you enjoyed this project and that you will be inspired to join us for the challenge this week.  I love Fall colors so will enjoy seeing your different projects.  Keep on Craftin.

My first two Imagine layouts

I decided to try my new Imagine out for two layouts I wanted to make.  I used the Imagine cart Enjoy the Seasons for both.  They went together so quickly. I cut each design together and not in layers.  The background paper for both is paper in my stash.  I wrote on the two banners with a brown Sharpie.  

Added two cuts from Enjoy the Seasons and some cute butterfly glitter buttons.  Then ribbon on the side.
