Exploring Cricut - Back to School Challenge



Happy Monday!

Today for Exploring Cricut we are doing a Back to School challenge, create any project in Primary colors.

Today's 'project' is not a project per se as just cuts. Since I am on the PTO board for my daughter's school, we needed to decorate the bulletin boards. So glad I bought that Recess cart a few months ago. I knew I would get my use out of it eventually. All of these cuts, plus a few others, are all going up on the bulletin boards to greet the children tomorrow for their first day of school. I also added in a few rolo pencils that I will be giving out to the teachers. They were so fun to make and know I will be making more of those!

Materials:
carts: Recess, Hello Kitty, Locker Talk
Paper: Recollections
Stamp Faces: All Peachy Keen

ETA: Here is the link for the tutorial for the rolo pencils that I used:

Exploring Cricut Challenge - 2 cuts 1 monogram




Happy Monday

Today is a new challenge at Exploring Cricut. We were to create a project with a monogram and 2 cricut cuts. Well I was a bad girl and only did 1 cut. Don't tell Diane! ;) This was a project I needed to do so it worked out perfect.

I am the co-president of my daughters PTO for the upcoming year. We will be having a welcome back breakfast for the teachers. I wanted to do a few give aways for the teachers and saw this idea on Pinterest. CGS is the name of her school and the dolphin is their school mascot.

Items used:
Life is a Beach and Base Camp
Brown Vinyl
Ribbon, button twine

Lights Camera Action




Happy Monday

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I was so happy to get some crafting time in and made 2 cards! :)

Today's card was for a lovely lady at work. She is going through cancer treatment, but took time out to show me how to work my camera better. I have this fancy camera but only use the auto setting! I am determined to be able to use my camera more to its full potential.
