If you have come from Larelyn at Handmade from the Heart, then you are moving along. If you would like to start from the beginning, please head over to CookingWithCricut.com

This month our hop theme is all about Birthdays and one special one in mind. Our wonderful DT Coordinator Jen Hudson’s birthday just happened to fall on Saturday so we decided to make birthday inspired projects with a “Jen” theme in mind. Our go to gal is a die-hard Florida Gator Fan. So we decided to use elements on our projects that reflected Our GATOR FOR LIFE Gal’s FANCY;  Florida, The Florida Gators and anything that would make you think of the Sunshine State. Jen is the last on our blog line up so be sure to hop through and leave her some extra special love at the end!

So a big warm gator birthday wish Jen. Hope you have an awesome birthday

and thanks for all you do for Cooking with Cricut.

Gator (and people) hugs too.

I used this cute little alligator from Twinkle Toes cut at 5 inches and embossed.  

The banner was cut from Everyday Pop Up at 3 inches long.  

I added twine and used a tiny letter set I got at Michaels for $1 last year for the wish.

Used a MS punch and lace for the tutu.  A googly eye and gems on the bow.  

Ribbon from my stash.  

The inside was printed on the computer and I used the same MS punch.

Make Some Music Sept 12 FCCB

Welcome and thank you for joining us for  the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog  Weekly Challenge.  This week the challenge is to Make Some Music-Make a project with an instrument or music notes on it.  I did a " Cut Search"  and came up with these great cuts from surprisingly Twinkle Toes.  Though these would go great with my new stack of paper from DCWV called Performance.  I used a mixture of papers from that stack and lots of chalk and ink on the edges. 

Then luck of luck I found this cute Applause stamp in my stash.  

The original piece is cut 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 and scored at 3 inches.  The smaller flap is 8 x 3 and folded in 1/2.  Then I added paper to the top of the base card.Glue the smaller flap on the inside middle making sure when left front flap closes the inside right flap will lay flat.  Lots of fun and quick and easy.
Looking forward to seeing what you all do for the FCCB challenge this week.  Please join in.  It is a lot of fun and inspiration.
