Challenge Me Monday #108

This week's challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog was "On The Go".  Our project was to include a car, bike, train, plane, etc.  I used the Dotty papers again.  One of the papers has this great bicycle on it.  The cartridge I used was Art Philosophy for the banner, the decorative square and the letters "U R".  I used April's CTMH Stamp of the Month You Are for all the sentiments.  The colors are Lagoon, Sweet Leaf and Sunset.

H2H Photo Inspiration Challenge

This week's challenge for the Heart2Heart Challenge Blog is a Photo Inspiration Challenge.  What caught my eye was the polka dots and the flowers on the shower curtain as well as the colors orange and pink.  I used Sunset and the Smoothie paper from the Dotty paper pack.  I also used Grey Wool as an accent.  I used Wonderful You stamp set for the sentiment, and the bird was from the Color Ready Wooden Shapes.  I painted it with the pearl paint and then dabbed some grey ink on it and added a pearl for an eye.

H2H Stitching Challenge

Last week's Heart2Heart Challenge was to use stitching, real or faux on your project.  I have been working on my son's school album since he's graduating this year and this is one of the portrait pages.  I did some hand stitching with baker's twine on the upper left hand side of the layout and used our acrylic ruler to punch the holes.  It took some time, but I like the look of it.  I've yet to try stitching with my sewing machine....maybe someday...lol.  The colors are Outdoor Denim, Goldrush, Indian Corn Blue.  The papers are from an old retired pack.

Challenge Me Monday #107

Had a fantastic weekend in Chautauqua scrapbooking!  I made this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday #107 April Showers.  Our project was to include something with an umbrella, clouds or rain.  The left side is the inside (I didn't attach the card front yet).  I got the instructions from a Cricut magazine to make the popup umbrella on the inside of the card.  I used Create A Critter for the umbrella; Three Birds on Parade, Art Philosophy and Everyday Popup cards.  The paper is this month's CTMH special, Dotty For You and I cut the clouds out of one of the papers from the pack.

More Dotty Fun

This layout of my son playing Broomball a few years ago was done with one of the Dotty For You papers. It was perfect for the layout and the Superhero rub-ons worked perfectly with it as well. I used my Art Philosophy alpha to cut out Corey's team name and trimmed off some of the letters to make it look more like the font on the rub-ons.

H2H Sketch Challenge

This week the Heart2Heart Blog is having a Sketch Challenge. I used a lot of things I bought a while ago, but hadn't used yet or in a long time. The paper is Mayberry. Stamp sets I used were A Tree, Bunny Love, and Over the Rainbow. Check out the Heart2Heart blog and all the great artwork and play along!
