BBTB2: Cricut - Sparkling Seahorses

 I made lots of these cards for a swap,   It was so much fun trying out different color combos for the seahorses and background papers.  

The seahorses were made by starting with double stick adhesive tape.   One side was stuck to white cardstock and cut out on the Cricut, using the Traveler image set in Design Space.  The top of the image was uncovered and I sprinkled white fine glitter over the image and burnished it into the seahorse.  I then took ink sprays and let the magic happen.  The color combos mixed so well and really designed themselves.   

The sand dollar is a stamp from Tim Holtz.  I added a light background with a few strips of paper and splatters of ink.  I really just wanted the seahorses to shine.   I'll definitely try this technique again.

Our challenge at Bitten by the Bug2 is "Under the Sea" for the next two weeks.  Use your Cricut and link up anything you make with it to our challenge HERE.   Enjoy!

BBTB2: Cricut - Summer Vacation Horse Camp

 It's been forever since I've posted a project on my blog or on Bitten by the Bug2.  Lots going on this year, including a big move to Northern CA.  I have been packing, unpacking, fixing, and shopping for what seems like months.  My craft room is 1/4 the size of what I had before, and I guess it's going to be awhile before it's in a good working condition.  I did set up my Cricut and found one mat so that I could cut out some images.  

Summer is so hot here, most days in the last month have been 90-100 degrees.  The week my granddaughter had horse camp it was over 100 degrees each day.  This limited their training time, but she didn't give up.  On Friday, we were invited to a show of what they had learned during the week.  A great adventure for my granddaughter and I hope she continues to learn about horses.  This layout is a great subject for the theme of our Bitten by the Bug2 challenge for the next two weeks - "Great Outdoors".  You can link up your card, layout, or project on the blog for all to see.   Have a great August, stay cool!
