Sketch - A Crafty Little Place

The New Home of Die Cuts R Us challenge is a sketch this week.

So I made this little welcome home card for a friend who is coming back from helping in Haiti.

Charisma Cardz Challenge #14 - Thank You

 

Well that covered all the challenges on the hop and it was a lot of fun!  Plus I got two scrap pages done and it made me get started on a few more.  If you don't participate in challenges you should.  It does just what it proclaims.  Challenges you to get moving on something.  

Come play at Fantabulous Cricut with me or any of these challenges.  You're sure to have a blast and maybe win something too!

 

Wheelbarrow Roll Away

WOO HOOO, IT WAS PUBLISHED AS THE SPOTLIGHT IN THE CRICUT/PROVOCRAFT NEWSLETTER!!!

What can I say but I think it turned out as cute as I imagined it.  I'm going to give it to our building maintenance manager (Portenia in Italian)  and his wife filled with chocolates for Easter.   I also submitted it to the Cricut Chirp, but who knows if it will be selected or not.

  

Wheelbarrow from Walk in My Garden

Cut 4 times at 8" heavy cardstock so it's sturdy enough to stand on its own.

1 strip of card stock, 7" by 3"

20 Flowers

Cut 2 Signs at 2"

"Spring" from the Easter Cartridge

Garden Tools cut at 2" attached with a button

If I had Wings......

The challenge at the Cuttlebug Spot is "If I had Wings, What would I be...."  Easy, I'd be a Fairy.  I'd NEVER be an insect as anyone in my family would instantly attest to. At Cricutters Anonymous (Formerly Just Buggin') the challenge is "Form of a Woman."  Of course, I would be a woman fairy.   This card is busy with Spring, a very happy card for someone on my Cricut Card Fairy list (another reason to be a Fairy). I had a lot of fun making this card.

The fairy is the woman pushing the baby carriage on New Arrival.

No Cats Allowed

Another thing I dreamed about.  The living room for the birds.  I made the couch and the chair in George and drew in the lines.  The birds are from the Easter 2010 and Lyrical Letters.  The Chandelier is from Home Decor.  The bird house and Sunflower from SYI. Bird house cut at 5"  So everything else had to be sized way down in DS.  It was so fun imagining what to put in a bird living room, I imagined they would grow sunflowers for seeds. 

Sweet Pea

The challenge at Just Buggin' was to use one of the Card Elements on a cricut cartridge so I tried this one from the New Arrival cartridge.  Honestly, it was so easy to do this card that I'm embarrassed.  Maybe that was the point!  You can put together a card in no time at all using some of the features.

The sweet little basket is from the Easter 2010 cartridge and it was very cute and 

easy to put together!

Card Fairy Cards - Don't look at the date

Just posting some cards I'm sending out. I keep adding new ones to this post so I can keep my blog candy at the top, so even though the date is old, new cards are being added nearly every day. They aren't anything special to anyone but the people who are receiving them, but I wanted to archive them.

Scraplifted this bunny card from the Cricut Message Boards.  The original was made by

 Southernbellescrapper.  The one she did is far better than mine, but it was just too cute

not to try it.
