Cricut Monthly Contest for June

This is my entry for the June contest.

Cricut Magazine Challenge 2 Entry

Inspired by Jana Eubanks stationery set using Baby Boutique, my favorite cartridge!  It is a simple chalk board memo board decorated with ribbon and a monogram.

I am entering this layout in the Cricut Magazine Challenge.

Monique Griffith Cards

I bought this kit at Stampede.  It is truly amazing and wonderful directions make this set a piece of cake....no pun intended.

YourStory baby album

I made this your story album during and after the Stampede class taught by Teresa Collins.  I absolutely love her and all of her scrap book products!  It is a birthday gift for my hair dresser who just had her first grandchild.  Hope she likes it.

Cricut Stampede Banner

I was so fortunate to be able to attend the Cricut Stampede in Frisco, TX the weekend of March 18, 2011.  This was my first event of this kind and it was amazing.  The highlight of the weekend was meeting Teresa Collins and taking a class with her.  Her designs are amazing and  she has designed cartridges for both the Imagine and Cricut and I can't wait for them to become available. 

I decorated my table at Stampede with a banner spelling out the word Stampede.  The pictures do not show it in that order and it was too big to photograph in one picture.  I got lots of compliments on the banner and many people asked to take pictures of it.  Hope you like it.  More pictures in second post.

Third diaper cake

This was made for a co-worker.  I think I have almost perfected the diaper cake with the addition of chipboard monogram for a topper.

Third diaper cake

Made for a co-worker's baby.  I think I am about to get the diaper cake perfected. 

Then and Now project for Stampede

This is the project I want to work on in Teresa Collins Notations class at Stampede.  I want to call it Then and Now as it is my husband's golf swing at age 15 and now, at age 50+.  Can't wait to do this.

Bug infestation

I got the new exclusive circle cartridge today.  It is Cricut Everyday and now I have a bug infestation at my house!  Call the exterminator! I am actually making my calling cards for Stampede so there are 120 bugs running around my craft room.

Girl Diaper Cake

My sister, Sharon and I made a diaper cake for one of her co-workers baby shower.  All from my Imagine and Nursery Tales cartridge. 

The layers for shadow box

Cricut Monthly Challenge for January

This is a scraplift contest and my inspiration came from the very first weekly challenge using the French Manor cartridge.  I scraplifted Michele Kovak's Ooh, La, La card.  I have kept a picture of this card on my craft table since I saw it on the Cricut Circle Blog.  This is my 3D shadow box inspired by Michele.  I used Bazzil cardstock, IRock and clear plastic 12 X 12 paper to get the dimension.

Experimenting with 3D Shadowbox

Our school mascot is the Knight so I used a Chess theme for the shadowbox. 

Calling Card for Stampede

This is the back of my calling card.  The front is still a work in progress as I am waiting for the next exclusive cricut cartridge, Everyday Cricut, to cut a bughead wearing a cowboy hat.
