Crazy About Cricut's Family Friday

Welcome to my first Family Friday as a member of Crazy About Cricut's Famiy Friday Team. I was very excited when I was selected to be on the team since I love love love crafting with my family. Well let's get started....

Of course Halloween is pretty much all about family so here is some of what my family has been up to while in the Halloween Spirit....

Here is a bag my 13yr old and I made for treats for her "BFF's"

We used the bag cut from Tags, Bags, and Boxes and the sentiment from Happy Haunting.The bag was cut at fit to page (12x12)

We then cut the sentiment and shadow at 2.60 height (on the Gypsy)

We used black glitter around the sentiment...and added googlie eyes to the spider.Then we just added a ribbon handle and of course the treats :)

Here is a project I did with my little guy (3yrs old)...we cute out a monster shaped body (free hand but we should have used mini-monsters) on some construction paper and decorated it with what ever we had laying around.Which turned out to be some feathers, pieces of a cut up q-tip for the teeth, marshmellows and googlie eyes for the eyes, and of course a button and a star.

Here is a Halloween slider card I made for my daughter. You can get directions for this on you tube...just search double slider card. It was super easy and super fun since I made this with a very close friend who is like a mother to me. 

And of course Halloween is not complete with out a day at the Pumpkin Patch and Pumpkin Carving

Momo's Hubby Challange

Momo has a hubby challange going on her blog, the challange is for hubby's to make a card, any kind of card...so yes I was able to convince my hubby to play along and he decide to make a bithday card for our son. So here is my Soldier with his home made card...shhhh don't tell his Army buddies LOL

First he browsed through images...

Then he drew his own sketch...

Then he picked out paper...

Then he took about 30 min trying to figure out the Gypsy...

Then he got his mat ready...

Then they watched the cricut cut...

Then he put together his layers...and added some googlie eyes to Elmo...

Birthday Card for Grandma

Here is a my little guy making a birthday card for his Grandma. We cut everything with the Cricut, he picked everything he wanted cut and the colors he wanted to paint it all. He said the dinosaur had to be pink because that's a pretty color for Grandma. He said he had to add jewelry (the pink gem) and he has been loving these googlie eyes lately, seems we put them on almost every project.

And here is his completed project...

Chicago Millennium Park

Again another late one my computer was down...this was for Emma's Destination Challange

I made a 12 X 12 scrapbook page of my daghter playing at Millennium Park

P.S. The girl with the flowered top is my daughter, the others are my nephew and my baby sister.

Momo's Love Challange

I know these is very late but my computer was down and I could not upload.

Momo had a challange with the theme being love. So my son and I decide we would use TBB to make a present for his grandma so we made the box and I asked him what he wanted to put in it and he said kisses. So here is the picture of him putting kisses in the box.

Mojo Monday 146 / Throwback Thursday

Below is my entry for Mojo Monday 146.

I also made it baby theme since I accidently made my entry for Emma's Throwback Thursday simular to hers. So here is a card for an expecting famiy member.



I added glossy accents to the bottle and the paper kind of dipped in around the pop dot thats under it...I am hoping when it dries that will go away. (update 7:56am Yes! the paper straightened out after the glossy accents dried)

Emma's Throw Back Thursday

Here is my entry for Emma's Throwback Thursday, using Everyday Paper Dolls Cart


The page was supposed to say "splish splash I was taking a nap" because my silly boy did fall asleep in the tub, but the font I wanted would not cut right. So I settled for rubon's.

P.S. I started looking through my sons baby photos until I seen these which are some of my favortie and I totally forgot that Emma did bath time in her project until I came back on to link it. Maybe I'll work on another baby theme page and I wil just post it here on my blog also just to make up for the simularity.

My Pink Stamper Color Challange

Here is my entry for My Pink Stamper ( www.mypinkstamper.com ) color challange to use pink, green, orange and brown.

I used the cuttlebug with the plum blossoms folder on white cardstock then I used my gel pens for the orange and green. The thinking of you stamp was from the dollar bin at Michael's

My Sons Flag Project

I got this idea from Sarah over at www.pinkcricut.com but of course I changed it up a little.

Supplies
-2 pcs 8 1/2 X 11 white card stock
-Red & Blue Crayola Paint
-Paint Brush
-White Glitter
-Paste
-Paper Trimmer

We took one pc of card stock and cut 5 stips of 1in X 11in to use for the stripes

and we took the remaning 3 1/2 in strip and cut at 5in to be used for the blue behind the stars

and the remaaining pc of 3 1/2 X 6 was used to cut 10 stars from the George & Basic Shapes cart at 1 1/4 in

Then we painted the stripes red and the square pc of 3 1/2 X 5 blue.


We then took the remaining pc of 3 1/2 X 6 cardstock and cut 10 stars from the George & Basic Shapes and glittered those with white glitter.


Then we put our project together.

Momo's Spots & Dots Mojo Monday 145

I made this for Momo's spots and dots challange and Mojo Mondays #145 sketch challange. (turns out I was a day late for Momo's challange...oh well I still had lots of fun making it.

Throwback Thursday Entry

Here is my entry for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challange over at http://www.creativetimeforme.com. Since I do not have Doodlecharms I used my oldest cartridge instead George and Basic Shapes for the font and the stars.

Here is the card I made for my Husband for Father's Day. In my house we always say I heart (and we make a heart shape with our hands) you. So the 3 Owls are supposed to represent my kids and I and of course the other owl is my husband.

Mojo Monday 144

Recently I came across the Mojo Monday blog (www.mojomonday.blogspot.com) and I must say I am sure this is going to be one of my favorite blogs to follow, it gives me so much inspiration. I made this card for my father-in-law whom we did not have a chance to go see on Sunday. We plan to go visit this coming weekend.


Above is the sketch I used for this week mojo monday challange.
