H2H Color Challenge

Last week's challenge at the Heart2Heart Challenge Blog was a color challenge. The colors to use were Sweet Leaf, Sunkiss Yellow, and Sky. My inspiration for this layout came from a layout in Cricut Magazine. The clusters in that one were flowers instead of butterflies. I used the stamp set Best Things. The butterflies are from the Art Philosophy cartridge and cut out of various paper packs and stamped papers. I used the spray pen to splash a little extra color on the background and the butterflies. I used liquid glass on some of the butterflies wings to help them lift a little.

Byrncliff Challenge

This is a page Denise Georger created with the items in the Challenge baggy at Byrncliff. Denise's papers were from the Magic paper pack... an oldie but a goody... great layout!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #101

This week's challenge on the Fantabulous Cricut Blog was to use shamrocks or the color green on your project. The card I made is for a friend who has a new home. The inside of the Wishing You... sign says "Luck and Love". I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge to create the window; Give A Hoot for the squirrel and the shamrocks; Everyday Popup Cards for the flower box/flowers. I used Liquid Glass to accentuate the shamrocks and Glitz Glitter Gel to glitter the flowers and butterfly. The stamp set I used was CTMH's Word Puzzle for the butterfly and the sentiment. Check out the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and all the great artwork that has been submitted for this and other challenges.

More Challenge Art

Here are two cards from the Byrncliff challenge last weekend. The first is a card created by Linda Harber and the 2nd was created by Evelyn Gier. Thank you so much girls for participating in the challenge. Beautiful work! More to come soon....

Don't forget about the February challenge to use Rock the Block and/or the Collage Cubes in a project! You don't have to do anything with the cubes if you're not ready. Just use the Rock the Block stamp set on a piece! There's about a week left to submit your pics.

Fantastic Weekend

Had a great weekend at the semi-annual Byrncliff crop! Good food, good company, lots of fun. I gave the ladies a baggy with some printed paper, a couple small stamps, a Cricut shape, and a button. They chose 1 foot of ribbon and 1 piece of cardstock. I challenged them to create something with these items and had a drawing from all the entries. This is a card made by Lucille McMullen. Lucille also won the drawing. I'll be showcasing all the creations over the next few days. Thanks so much ladies for playing along!

CTO Challenge #52

Here is my card for the Celebrate The Occasion Challenge. We were to create a birthday card using bling. I cut the flowers from the Art Philosophy cartridge as well as the frame for the sentinment and the flourish for the flower stem.

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #100

This week's Fantabulous Cricut Challenge was a color challenge. We were to use purple, turquoise and green. I used my cuttlebug to emboss the tree. The cartridges I used were Give A Hoot for the bird and flourish, and Art Philosophy for the sentiment frame. The "Soar" at the top of the card is from a future CTMH stamp of the month and the other words are from You and Me. I added some Liquid Glass, bling and ribbon from CTMH to finish it off. If you love to play with your Cricut, check out this challenge blog. Even if you don't own a Cricut, check out the fabulous artwork. You may find you "need" one..lol!
