Tonight's Challenge

So, tonight's Challenge was to use either a Cake cart or the features buttons of regular carts again.  This time, we could create up to 3 entries - anything we wanted - and using as many carts as we wanted.  Here are my two entries; neither of them won, but I liked them nonetheless and still thought I would share:

Gift tag using the window/mirror feature of TBBM cart. I put some hole punches inside a corner of a small jewelry ziploc baggy for the front window.  Something new I thought I'd try... :)

The phrase on this card was done from Happy Hauntings and the ghost and mummy came from - I believe - Paper Dolls Dress Up. I will double-check that tomorrow and post a comment. :)

Goodnight to all who are following; stay crafty!!

New(er) Stuff

So, Erica has been challenging us to use Cricut Cake cartridges or only the features keys of regular cartridges for our creations.  I'm loving this, as it is challenging me to think a little outside the box, though it IS sometimes difficult to do.  This little invitation was for the features challenge last week when we could only use ONE cart on the project. Hope you like it!

Also, I made a card yesterday for my little cousin who turned 9.  He plays baseball for the local recreation department, so I made a little ballplayer with his uniform on.  He LOVED it! I was so excited; I just love it when folks like what I make! :)  Hope you guys enjoy it, too:

We have a new challenge to create up to 3 items using only the features buttons or cake carts.  They were to be due tonight, but an illness has prevented the judging and we get an extra day.  Check back in a day or two to see what I made (and if any of them won!)!

Erica's Challenge 5/8/11

So, our Features-Keys-Only Challenge over at Erica's Room was due by 9 pm EST tonight (it was originally last night, but got moved).  We were to create a layout or card using ONLY the features keys on at least 2 cartridges.  Of course, I stuck to my Disney theme, using Mickey and Friends, Mickey Font and Pooh & Friends.  Hope you like it!

(The "Mickey" banner is tied to grommets that I put in using my Crop-a-dile for the first time.)

Erica's Room Challenges

All righty...if you haven't been to check out Erica's Room yet, you really need to!  She's at Mega Meet this weekend, so her blog isn't as up-to-date, but her FB page has us all working constantly. Our challenge now is to use ONLY the Special Features buttons on a cartridge (or cartridges) to create something...a card, layout, whatever.  NO regular buttons whatsoever.....yeesh!! I'm having a bit of a hard time with this one, but will be sure to post it here if and when I come up with it! :D

Who is Erica, you may ask?  She is my go-to person for anything Cricut!  If it can be done, she either knows how, or can get you to the right person/people.  She also has more energy and spirit (and giving nature) than anyone I've ever seen!  Come on over and meet her!  I'm sure glad I did! :)
