Christmas Goodies

It's not too late to get in an entry(or 2 or 3) for this month's challenge. I have been making a few things here and there, but I especially love these little goodies that the kids and I made to share with their classmates on the last day of school for this year. The candy canes were hot glued together and then we cut gingerbread men and reindeer from the Cricut using Doodlecharms and Just Because Cards. Added some red noses and google eyes and some faux stitching to finish them. The stockings were cut with Doodlecharms. There are 2 glued together leaving an opening for a lollipop. Wouldn't these make perfect last minute stocking stuffers?

October Notebook Challenge

Hey there, it's Teri and I have my mini notebooks to show you! They actually went in a swap, so I hope my partner isn't looking here yet! They are quite simple, I figured she can use them to jot down little things her kids say and do, so she can even keep them in her purse, hence, the no ribbons/bling to get pulled off! Hope you like them!

Randi's October Challenge

For this challenge I chose to make a Haunted Mini note book album out of the Wild Card cartridge and my Cinch. I love mini albums and can't seem to get enough. Thanks for looking now it's your turn.

FALLING FOR SEPTEMBERS CHALLENGE....

Hello! Hello! This is Carrie and I'm here to tell ya the September challenge! Why am I just getting around to announcing? Well, I've been a bit obsessed with the Cricut Imagine launch and have forgotten about the rest of the world! But now I'm back to reality (well sorta) and ready for a challenge!

Here we go! This challenge you're going to "fall" in love with! That's right, it's all about autumn! With all the leaves turning, it's given me the inspiration to work with all those purty (sorry that's the WV in me) colors. So break out your reds, purples, oranges, golds and greens and create something totally fall-some!

For your sweet tooth, there's a little blog candy! What is it? Well, that's going to be a secret! I know. I know. I'm cruel aren't I? (insert evil laugh here)

So, are you ready for this challenge? I can't wait to see what everyone whips up! And I'll totally "leaf" it up to you what kind of project you want to create!

September's Challenge

Cindy"s Trifold Teepee Card

Hey everyone, I know I am late with this card for the challenge, but life got in the way. This is a TeePee card I made for the challenge and it folds flat to mail, and also stands like a teepee with a tiny piece of velcro to help hold it up. I made a fan folded rosette and put a rose in the middle that I died with alchol inks. This card was made with three 4"x4" squares but if you dare you can use three 12"x12" squares and make a centerpiece too. They are really easy. If you go to my blog you will find the directions that I will post later today..... Thanks for looking...

CARRIE'S CHALLENGE

Hello! This is Carrie from greenbeans crafterole! And I'm back to share what I came up with for this month's challenge! As you all should know by now, I'm not a cardmaker. So when I found out that not only was I to make a card. But to do one that opens in a non-conventional way. I did the 'ol double gulp!

So, I grabbed my gypsy and got creating! Using the Forever Young cartridge, I came up with the most delicate little shape card! Ended up topping it off with one of my new favs, some wrinkled ribbon! The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's "Mega Mixed Messages" and was the perfect size for my little space! If you don't have this stamp set, you gotta get it asap!

Hope you enjoy! And keep your fingers crossed for me, that next's month challenge won't be another card! Hee hee!
