BBTB2: Cricut Frosty Cold Winter Card

Join in our challenges at Bitten By the Bug2 by linking up your project to the theme for the week.  To enter, you need a blog, Flicker, or Pinterest account.  Our theme this week is to use a Cricut cut featuring a scarf, mitten, coat etc.  Here is my creation, a Frosty Snowman with his top hat and scarf.  It was designed by Pat Johnson, who is posts her files on the FB group Cricut Design Space.  She uses basic shapes and performs her magic.  The snowman is from basic shapes as well as the background outline of the scene.  This was a really easy card to cut and assemble. A little bit of Stickles to round out the scene.  Have a great week.

BBTB2: LoveBirds Flutter Together Forever

I am still working on my daughter's wedding album.  It's been a few years, and I had better kick it into high gear and 'get 'er done'.   With our BBTB2 theme this week of 'Birds", I knew that a LoveBirds theme would fulfill both the challenge and help with the wedding album.  I used 3 cartridges for this simple and easy layout - Wrap It Up for the word Lovebirds (removed the flowers), Tie The Knot for the two birds on a branch, and the Wedding cart for the 2 birds with a heart.

Join in the BBTB2 challenge this week of "Birds", whether it be birds in a cage, flying birds, or Springtime birds.  

Wedding and Shower Banner - BBTB Designer Team Call

My daughter is getting married soon.  Here is a banner that I put together for her shower and for use at the wedding.  Her colors/theme are rustic, natural and moss/dark green.  Perfect for a fall wedding.   I found it is really hard to make romantic items in green, but I got it to work.   Most of the cuts were done using the new Artiste cartridge.   The W is for there new last name and I used Tie the Knot cartridge.   Lots of embellishments, including flowers cut from Artiste.

Entering this in the BBTB2 Designer call.  Their blog is http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/   Pictures are not the greatest, but it is impossible to capture the entire banner and be able to see details.  See my next post for the flower girl basket.

Wedding Shower Banner

I made one of my favorite all time items - a banner with the engagement and a few other pictures.  We couldn't figure out what to spell out with the banner and then I came up with the idea to use pictures.  I really embellished it with bits of this and that - stickers, cutouts, flowers, and paper icons.  I love how it turned out.   I cut triangles as the base and then added a heart to every other flag of the banner.  I really need to post a better picture - I think there are 6 flags in all.

Andrea's Shower Decorations

My daughter's boyfriends sister, Andrea, is getting married.  We had the shower at our house.  I did a lot of the decorations.  Here is the first one - a bride with a ribbon that got stuck to a flower.   This decoration was hanging from an umbrella outside.  It is from Tie The Knot cartridge.  I added a cut out flower and center from other cuts I made - it just made the bouquet pop.

Pink flower ball

This is one of my favorite homemade items, a paper flower ball made out of a styrofoam ball and lots and lots of Cricut cuts. I just cut all sizes of flowers from 2" on down and put them together randomly. I sent this off to New York for a lady in an Easter/Spring related swap. Hope to make a lot more of these.
