My DT project for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge- Buttons and Bows

Hope you all had a Happy Easter yesterday with your family and friends.  It's time for another great challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  

This weeks challenge is called "Buttons and Bows".  

I made  5 x 7 card with Kraft Stock paper.  

The thread and needle were cut from page 35 at 3 inches from the Happily Ever After Cart and the scissors from page 34 cut at 3 inches.    

The Thank you Sew Much is from page 25 of Everyday Popup. I cut it out two times and used only Sew on the front.  

The button, needle and thread is a punch 

I added a yellow and red button laced with twine.  The spool was wrapped in twine also to make it more realistic.  

The paper is from my stash and I found it recently while cleaning so it came right to my mind when I saw the name of the challenge.

I am also entering this card in the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge where they are also having a "Buttons and Bows" Challenge 

I hope you will join us this week for the challenge "Buttons and Bows.  I am sure my fellow DT members will have lots of creative projects to inspire you this week.  In turn we love to see what all of you make to enter into the challenge that inspires us.  So join us for the "Buttons and Bows" FCCB challenge.  Happy craftin!

Smile and Grin layout

Over the weekend I wanted to do some challenges and  I found some great layout sketches.  I used a different sketch for each page and think they look great together.  I am also entering the pages in the Cricut Circle Magazine challenge  which was to use the Letter Envy Cart and at least two other cuts.

This page is for the Paper Issues- Chevron Challenge

and Creative Scrappers  #202 Challenge

This page is for the Let's Get Sketchy Challenge which I turned side ways.

I also did the exact same layout with a brown background for my daughter.  I do doubles of every layout.

Here are closeups of the titles and butterflies from the brown layout.

I embossed the titles on both pages.

Bad to the Bone layout- Humor challenge

This is a layout I did for the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge which was to use humor on your page. You can use funny photos, images and or incorporate words that have to do with humor such as laugh, giggle, chuckle and so on

Well I went through my stack of pics I still need to do layouts of and found several pics that I thought would work.  I ran my ideas by my husband and he came up with 

the humorous title for this picture which I thought was so cute.  So here is my granddaughter Katie when she was 15 months old struttin her stuff with her dad's sunglasses.  The title "Bad to the Bone" from Rock Princess.  The paper is Flower Power from DCWV.  I actually cut the edges of the Paisley shape and changed to the orange paper so the pic would stand out and then cutout flowers from paisley piece with punches.  

Well I like to do two page layouts so I thought what am I going to put on other side.  Then I found these pics of Katie when she was in her climbing (and falling) stage and she had two black eyes in a month.  My daughter didn't want me to scrap these but I think we need to remember the good and the bad,  

The band aid is from Everyday Popup Cards and Ouch is from Smiley Cards.
