Wolf Habitat....

Hello and Happy Thursday everyone...

I can't believe how this week is flying by...

I had taught my very first Cricut Class Tuesday night

and then last night I had to help my 7 yr. old

work on a School project.... And well

today is my Husbands Birthday!

Happy Birthday Shane!!! :o) 

Anyway.... Today I'll show ya what my

7 yr. old and I came up with....

 He was to make a Wolf Habitat

using whatever we had at home.... And I was like (HELLO)

I gotta machine that can cut anything.... Heck yes! :o)

Sooo, here are the specks...

Cartridges - Wild Life Lite (Wolves) Cut @ 5"

ZooBalloo (Mountains) Cut @ 4 3/4"

(Snow Caps) Cut @ 4 3/4" (2x's)

(Trees Reg. Key & Shift Key) Cut @ 3 3/4" (2x's)

(Grass Reg. Key & Shift Key) Cut @ 1 1/2" (8x's)

Create a Critter (Pond) Cut @ 2" (2x's)

My son chose all the colors and the background Card stock

to layer everything on... I was teaching him how to ink so

we both did some of that and I showed him how to add

dimensionals, so we both did some of that.... :o)

I thought it came out cute... He loves using my Cricut

so it ended up being a fun project we could do together!

Of course after we glued everything down... I thought we

needed a sun... He said naawwww Mom... So we left it alone!

I also decided to enter this into the (Challenge Me Monday) over at

http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2011/03/challenge-me-monday-50.html

You are to make anything with a tree on it

and since we cut trees out from the ZooBalloo Cartridge

I thought why not.... And my son is excited to see it entered into

a challenge! :o) Well thanks for stopping by and checking out the blog...

I love all your comments! And hopefully I'll be back

sometime this weekend with a few more completed Challenges!

Enjoy the rest of your week/weekend and I'll see ya soon!

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!

Milk Cartons.....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone!

How's your week going? Good So far?

Mine is busy... busy... So for today's

post I have something simple and crafty

and I didn't use my Cricut... (WHAT???)

Yes.... I recently got a cute Sizzix Die

from my Stampin' Up party... Hey it was FREE....

I LOVE free products! :o)  So I decided to

try it out and make something cute as a gift

for Easter.... Here ya go...

Now I will say... I do have the Cut file for a Milk Carton

but like I said... I got this for free so I decided to

make a couple of quick Cartons...

I did use my Cuttlebug to cut the die out..

Card Stock, Bird Punch - Stampin' Up

Designer Paper - (Scraps) 3 bugs in a Rug

Daisy Punch - Martha Stewart

Bling - Bazzill

Here is a side view to show that I popped up the

birds wing and to show that I used a Brad to

seal the top of the carton....

Card Stock - Bo Bunny Dots

Designer Paper, Ribbon, Glitter Brad - Stampin' Up

Flower Punches - EK Success

I used a glue dot to hold the flowers in place

then I just kind of pushed the flowers forward to

make them stand out a little more... :o)

 They both look very Spring/Easter Like and I put

Hershey's kiss inside of them and plan to

give them to my sons teachers.... I think

they will like them... :o) well thanks for stopping

by and taking a look... I'll see ya tomorrow!

Have an AWESOME Day!!!
