For this project I used Create a Critter for the pumpkin shape, I used my Gypsy to hide the cuts that I did not want. All the papers I used are from the new DCWV Halloween and Fall Stack, and some Kraft Cardstock. Very simple all I need now are the pictures to complete what I had imagined.. Thanks for looking, hope you guys join in on the challenge.

 

Challenge Yourself Monday

Happy Monday!  Brenda here with Challenge Yourself Monday.  The theme for today's challenge is Birthdays.  I picked this theme because Wednesday is my grandson's 4th birthday, so I wanted to make him a card.  Here is the card:

I scraplifted the card from the Cricut Create a Critter handbook.  The number 4 was cut from the Cricut American Alphabet (on the Expression 2) and all other cuts were made with the Create a Critter cartridge at a height of 6 inches.  The brown cardstock used for the tree trunk is Wausau, the blue, orange and green solid cardstock is Bazzill, the patterned cardstock is from my stash.  The stamp used for the face is from the Peachy Keen Stamps Everyday Character Face Assortment, and the birthday cake & Happy Birthday are Stampin' Up!.

Thanks for stopping by!  Do you have a birthday project you will be working on?

I think I'm going to make a gift bag with the dinosaur on it for one of my grandson's presents.

Challenge Yourself Monday

Good Morning to everyone, I hope your weekend went well.  I had a very busy one but was able to create this challenge project for you all today.  I am getting motivated to try to get back on my diet so I can live a bit healthier lifestyle.  I was on Weight Watchers awhile ago and they stressed to write anything you eat, no matter how small or large,  down so you can see what you are eating through out your day.  It does amaze you if you do it for everything you put in your mouth.  For my challenge today I decided to alter
 a composition book for a diet journal. This was a challenge to me cause I rarely alter things.  I think it turned out pretty nice and looks alot better then the black comp book.  LOL  Here's my project.  

I will have the cut sizes at the bottom of post.  For your Challenge I challenge you to make anything you want, like a card, scrapbook page or alter something and add ANY FRUIT Die Cut from your favorite cartridge.                                 
FROM THIS

TO THIS

THIS IS THE BACK OF THE BOOK.

                                        

 The Sizes and carts used are:

The covering is  6 5/8"x 9 3/4"  light weight pattern paper by MY MINDS EYE
Apple with swirl   (Celebrate with a Flourish)   3"
Journal        ( Graphically Speaking Page 51)    1/2"   make sure you don't use RDS
Diet            Is some white chipboard letters in my stash, but your favorite font could be used
Banana       (Preserves)  2 1/2"
Grapes       (Preserves)  3 1/2"
I used an apple brad for my dot on the word journal by recollections.

OK GANG its your turn.  Get out your thinking caps and get crafting something with a fruit as your main image(s).  HAVE FUN>  I had a lot of  Fun with this Challenge and Hope I can really use it to help me with my weight Loss Goal.
