Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #35

Good Morning!
I am so excited to share with you today! This is my first Design Team project for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. Today’s Challenge Me Monday is to use a circle and the color green. I decided to make a 2-5-7-10 box. You really don’t need to use your Cricut to make this box but I decided that I wanted to cut out a window in the shape of a circle. A circle punch can be used here but since I don't have many circle punches, out came my Gypsy.
We would love for you to join us at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. Pop on over and see what the other design team members have done. You will be inspired! Join us in the challenge this week. There are always great prizes to be won. Hope to see you all there!

Here are the details:

Cricut Cartridges ~ Plantin Schoolbook ~ circle, Home Décor ~ tag and frame
Cardstock ~ Colorbok and My Mind’s Eye Where the heart is
Martha Stewart pigment ink
Acetate ~ I just cut a piece from the packaging of a cartridge.
Ribbon ~ Hobby Lobby
Fiscars Punch
Sentiment ~ Fiscars
Velcro fastener
Small adhesive pearls
Foam tape

A Christmas Surprise!

I wanted to share this ornament I made for the Peachy Keen Let's Face It Challenge #4. The challenge is to make an ornament using Peachy Keen Faces.
(It's a rainy day here in NC so my pictures are not as bright as I'd like them to be.)
I am also submitting this to My Creative Time with Emma. The Throwback Thursday Challenge is a Christmas theme of our choice. Pink Cricut is also doing a giveaway for some Peachy Keen Stamps and all you have to do is submit a project using Peach Keen Stamps or Post It craft paper.
Here are the details:

Cricut Cartridges ~ Create A Critter ~ wagon and gift, Paper Dolls for Everyday ~ girl, clothing, gift, dog, and I think tree. The tree may have come from Paper Doll Dress Up. I used my Gypsy to weld all the shapes together for the base of my ornament and then I cut out all the layers.
Peachy Keen Stamps ~ PK-754 Critter Faces, PK-532 Simple Sallies (this is one of my new sets I ordered :)
Ranger Distress Ink ~ Tea Dye
White Gelly Roll Pen
Ranger Glossy Accents ~ I used this on the dogs eyes and nose, and on the red ribbon on the gift
Stickles ~ Stardust
Paper ~ various scraps from my scrap bin
Mini Lights ~ Hobby Lobby
Lots of glue dots and pop dots!
Star button from my stash

Thanks for stopping by.
