Sweet Sassy Diva Luck of the Irish DT Challenge

This week at Sweet Sassy Diva the challenge is "Luck of the Irish"- design something using green, rainbows, leprechauns, shamrocks or anything Irish. Being  a good bit Irish this is right up my rainbow.  I decided to make a subway art project using my Cricut  "Word Collage" cart.  I selected the cut and then filled it using green from the Better Together Imagine cart.   I used my Imagine Print only feature and printed this to fit in an 8 1/2 x 11 frame I had on hand.  I think from the $1 store.  I added St. Patrick's ribbon around the edges of the page.  For the frame I rubbed Tim Holtz green ink into the frame and then covered the frame with Tacky Glue and added pot of gold and star confetti, shamrocks and a little green leprechaun hat I have been saving from a party.  Now that I tried this I plan to do now is get a larger frame that I can print Word Collages for each month or holiday and change them out.  It is so quick and easy to print these with the Imagine.  

                                 

I hope you enjoyed my project.  I can't wait to see what the other Sweet Sassy Diva Designers create for the project this week.  Please come back each day to leave them some bloggy love.

Word Collage Christmas page to frame

Today I started a Christmas project which took longer than I expected but I am happy with the end results. 

I cut out this out using the Cricut Word Collage cart.  I cut the piece at 11 1/2 inches in red and green so I could mix the colors.  I used a piece of paper from a K and Company Christmas stack for the background that looked like old paper.  

To get the letters in the right place I used a trick that Lori from Scrapping My Stress Away shared on Sweet Sassy Diva blogspot.  After I cut out the collage I laid  the negative piece down over my background and taped it down.  Then I could glue all the letters in the right place by using the other piece as a guide.  Sorry I forgot to take a picture.  I then used Stickles and added MS holly punch to edges.  Tomorrow I plan to go get a 12 x 12 album frame to put it in.

Fourth of July Vintage layout for Frosted Designs challenge

I did this layout today for the Frosted Designs sketch challenge.  The patriotic paper is from Rusty Pickle and was on sale recently for 50 cents a sheet at my local LSS.  The Roman Numeral Paper and  canvas look paper I cut out America from  were in my stash.  I Cut America from Word Collage using my Gypsy and then used a $1 stamp to stamp 4th of July with Tim Holtz ink.   The stars are from Stand and Salute.  The red, white and blue ribbon was to white so I rubbed Tim Holtz vintage ink over it to age it.  I used raffi to tie on  the photos.
