Mini Easter Basket

Happy Wednesday everyone !! 

*****Warning Lots of Photos :)******

Today I am stopping by to share a mini Easter basket I made . 

I actually made it using leftover cuts from other projects I am working on .

I made these fun little carrot boxes for my Hot Egg Balloon project , and I made a couple too many . I also made a large fence box ,but  I ended up using the smaller one . I recently purchased some new tinsel glitter and flocking ( I couldn't wait to use it ) and added that to my grass . 

I had lots of fun creating this . 

I hope you enjoy and feel inspired to create .

I wasn't sure if I liked my little chocolate bunny 

out or tucked in the basket .

our theme this week is St. Patrick's Day ! 

The second is a card I made for
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog 
and
Craftin ' Desert Divas! 

When I first began to blog , I only had my Cricut ( which I love ) .
I was hoping to find a Cricut based community to share my love of Cricut with .
I found it in Fantabulous Cricut and in
 Bitten by the Bug 2 and Exploring Cricut blogs.
I was hooked on these , I would try to create something every week following the themes .

 I have used my Cricut in the past year more times than I would have imagined !!! 

I am truly happy and grateful to have found these blogs !!
I was very honored when I was invited to be a guest designer on FCCB !! 

This week the challenge is to follow a sketch. I am not too good with sketches , but hey practice makes perfect !! At CDD we are in our second week of our 

" Birthday Linky Party " !!

I decided to combine the sketch and the birthday theme to create my birthday card !

Good morning everyone ! Happy Monday !

I would like to start by wishing my beautiful sister Angie a very happy birthday !!! Love you sis !!!

Today is the start if new challenge at BBTB2 and at Crafting Desert Divas .

At BBTB2 we are asking you to create a get well card , I decided to make a love ambulance ! It comes with lots of hugs and kisses to make anyone feel better soon !! I decided to make the ambulance , because my 2 year old Anthony was sick and not feeling well , he loves trucks and cars . I knew he would love the ambulance , so that is the theme I went with :) . It also happens to go with Craftin Desert Divas theme , which is to create any shaped card !

I hope you are able to join us at both challenges !!! I look forward to seeing what everyone creates . Hope you have a wonderful day !

This is my Cricut Version !

Silhouette and cricut versions side by side !

My Vinyl Project !

Hello everyone !! I am back with my second post for today ! The earlier one is for a fun blog hop I was invited to participate in , there's some wonderful prizes if you would like to participate !

I am sharing the second version of my 3d pumpkin easel card I made earlier . I decided to make two versions because one is for those of us who have a cricut , and the second one is the silhouette version . I had lots of fun making these especially playing with some amazing sparkle n sprinkle glitter and embossing powders ! This company is amazing !!! You definitely need to check them out ( I have some exciting news concerning Sparkle n Sprinkle ) make sure to check back by my blog so you don't miss it !!

Now this post is going to have three projects being shown that means lots of pictures ! Lol ! Hope you enjoy !!

I made the silhouette version, (first two pictures ) from an scallop circle easel card I received from My Scrap Chick !!!  They have some wonderful designs and they are having a design team call at the moment !! I chose to use the scalloped circles to make my 3D pumpkins , I added some embossing and glitter to make them sparkly !!

For my Cricut version I made it  a little different , I made these pumpkins from actual pumpkins on my cricut create a critter 2 and paper dolls everyday !  I also added a fence from ribbons and rosettes and my tree is made from scalloped circles from the cricut craft room, the owl is from create a critter !

My last and fun but a little hard project are the vinyl wall frames I made for my scrapbook room .

I made these from fancy frames cartridge, and the words are from wall décor and more as well as home décor .  It was my first time working with vinyl , and I am hooked !! Thank you fantabulous Cricut for challenging us to work with it this week !!

Hope you enjoyed my projects , and that you feel inspired to create !! Have a wonderful day .....
