cardztv "hootie halloween"

happy wednesday :) this week over at CTV were to use an owl on our cards using any cartridge. theres so many carts with such cute owls i had a hard time choosing.


i havent used my animal kingdom cart in quite awhile so i opted to use it for this challenge. i think the owls go great with the awesome memorybox paper.

sorry for the bright white on this view

                                i used cuttlebug folder on the tree. and added cotton "lint" for webbing.hard  to see  sorry but crap lighting but i  also used paperdolls cart for the tombstones and pumpkins and MS punch for the cat. i added stickles for owl eyes and used colorbox fluidchalk on all the cuts.

 

                                             i added foam stickies for some added dimension

                                                      computer generated the saying

                                       i hope ya had a nice time here i certainly enjoyed your visit :)

win a scrap easel

                                                   happy friday :)

chris wooten/turnedgypsy   is offering up a chance to win a scrap easel. how sweet is that!!  head on over to her blog and play along. 

her recipe for the challenge is to use one of the spring easter carts.(altho if you dont have either or are a non cricut user , use what ya got :) 

on the front of the card use:

1)  1 layer in pink rectangle

2) layer in yellow rectangle

3) sentiment stamped on white

4) 3 buttons

5) add some embossing.

for my card i used spring holiday cart. i covered the cut out text portion with my sentiment ,which is a studio g stamp. i just wanted the bunny to be peeking over . i added tiny pearlys for nose and eyes and penned on some whiskers. 

 i used doodle charms cart for the eggs, colored them with colorbox fluid chalk and  embossed 2 with cuttlebug and added a little stickles .

the bunnies  from left to right are from paperdolls,animal kingdom ( i added flowersoft for tail) cartridges and the last is a prima stamp.

i used pooh and friends for the grass, colored in colorbox fluid chalk. 

added 3 buttons. handcut corners and a rhinestone flower. 

thanks so much for stopping by for a peek,  your comments always warm my heart. have a great rest of day! xxx shelly

cricutcardz #64

happy wednesday!  this week over at CCC  in honor of dr duess and national read across america week  jeri has chosen a theme of bookmarks. be sure to go check out what the rest of the DT has created to hold the page for ya :)

i made 2 bookmarks for this challenge and also made some a long time ago for bittenbythebug which ill show on this post again.

i used animal kingdom cartridge for the bookmarks.

for the first one (on the right)  i wanted to honor dr suess , so i used the fishbowl bookmark, then added fish ( one fish two fish,...you get it ;) ) from zoobaloo cartridge. i thought they were more suessish  :) i added cloud9 raindots and a little colorbox fluid chalk.

  for the 2nd one i opted for girly. i used a childs year for the book/read and girl reading. the wording is from graphically speaking. i added colorbox fluid chalk, ribbon, stickles and dotted with acrylic paint.i added a swirl clip  to attach the b/mark to the book page ( which  realize didnt photo in this pic but you can see it on the top post :)

now heres the other 2 , i used graphically speaking for words and going places (card feature) for the images. i added magnets to the front and back insides covering them with paper ( using shadow feature for that ( page 130 in the manuel) they fold over the page this way. the magnets then keep them in place. also added some stitching, colorbox fluid chalk , a flower from i forget which cartridge and ms punch  butterflies

thanks so much for stopping by and having a peek, hope you have a fun rest of day :) XXXshelly
