FANTABULOUS CRICUT CHALLENGE #122
S'MORE ANYONE?

Its that time again...Time for another super Monday challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut and this week your inspiration is "Smore anyone".  So, whatever it is that comes to mind, campouts, barbaques or  campfires, let it out and create something fabulous!   Dont forget to stop by and check out all of the wonderful projects the Design Team has come up with this week...theyre really super!

For my project, I decided to make a 12"x 12" layout from a picture that I took of  my children while they were camping out on our property and the fact that they were making S'mores (goodies between my daughters) made it the perfect choice!

Country nights

For this layout I used the following cartridges and measurements.  Campin' Critters-porcupine (pg 34),

cut at 1 1/4, 1 3/4 and 2 1/4 inches, Plantin SchoolBook-letters, cut at 1 inch and Pooh and Friends-

grass/icon (pg 29), cut at 1/2 and 3/4 inches, fence/icon (pg 30), cut at 1 inch.

I used the Martha Stewart punch "Stars" for the night sky, Liquid Pearls and Copic marker E55 for the marshmellows (it gave the marshmellows a puffy golden look...yum), mini brads for the eyes on the porcupine, pop dots on the large/small critter and Copic marker R20 for their bellies/feet and noses.

Lastly, for the campfire, I cut the image from a piece of patterned paper and used Glossy Accents to give it a shiny glow.

Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look.  Kathie 

PURPLE AND PUNCHES

ONE CARD, TWO CHALLENGES...BOTH USING SOME OF MY FAVORITES.   THE COLOR PURPLE AND MY NEW ADDICTION, MARTHA STEWART PUNCHES!

I made this card to enter into the challenge over at scrapitgirl.net, which is a "Punch" challenge and all thats required is to make a project using any of your punches...The other is over at littlescrappieces.blogspot.com, and its a "Purple" challenge.  So, if you have some time, stop by and check them out or even create something to enter.

Sweet and simple

For this card I used the following cartridge and measurements.  George and Basic Shapes-

oval (pg 114), cut at 3 inches (green) and 2 3/4 inches (lilac).

For this 5" x 7" card, I cut two pieces of paper for the first layer...the lilac paper was cut at

4 3/4" x 4 3/4" and also scored every 1/4" using the Martha Stewart score board...the green paper was cut at 2 3/4" x 3 3/4".

I used the following Martha Stewart punches to make the images...branch punch and 3 in 1 hydrangea punch.  I used two shades of green cardstock for the branches and used white cardstock for the flowers.  I then colored the flowers using the following Copic markers...V93, V95, BV01, BV02,

B91 and B93.  The centers of the flowers are made using Liquid Pearls-Lavender Lace and Baby Blue.  All of this was then arranged on a strip of purple ribbon.

The sentiment was made using a stamp and Olive green ink and placed on the matted ovals.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by and having a look.  Kathie
