Welcome to another Challenge Me Monday at FCCB!!!

Challenge #264 Anything Goes

This Weeks Sponsor:   Diana Martin of  leeleecarddesigns.blogspot.com!

The prize for this challenge is CTMH August stamp of the month set called "Framed".  It's a $17.95 value, D-size & coordinates with the new Artistry cartridge!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

And, if you submit a project in our challenge that isn't a card, you will get two entries for a chance to win the prize instead of one!

This is my project...an explosion box for a friend, who got married recently:

I used foiled and regular patterned paper for the cuts...I used Mini Books and CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridges.

I made some alterations to the cake box in the center, though...I made it shorter by trimming the sides down:

Here's are the pages for photos:

I printed a Bible verse for the top flap and a label for the bottom one - with their names and the wedding date:

I added some embellishments (dimensional stickers) and decorated the "cake" and the lid with flowers and/or dimensional sticker.

Challenges:

1. Word Art Wed #208: Anything Goes

2. Craft Your Passion #287: Always Anything Goes

3. Not Just Cards #26: Always Anything Goes

PS26 #19: Family Digital Scrapbook Layout

Happy Saturday!

I have a digital scrapbook layout to share today! This is for my Project Scrapbook26 #19! Only seven more to go!

I used Studio J (when I used to be a CTMH consultant)...I used a template, but I think I altered the design a bit for this one. I chose my papers and embellishments and added some journaling.
I ended up printing this layout.

Have a nice weekend!

Here's the photo inspiration:

And here's my card:

3. Craft Your Passion #278: Always Anything Goes

4. Word Art Wed #200 Let's Celebrate!!!

5. Simon Says STAMPtember Use a Stamp and Blog Hop

I was inspired by the colors and the flowers...so, I started with a panel I sprayed with purple ink. I stamped a texture stamp with blue ink and blended blue gel stick (aka Gelatos for kids) using a wet wipe.
I cut flourish using Cricut and heat embossed it in silver. I also cut daisies in different sizes, scored and bent the petals, layered, and added gel stick and glitter glue for the centers.

Finally, I stamped sentiment on a banner, adhered it on card and added sequins.

Decorate to Celebrate DT Challenge #108: Fall Cricut Garland

Hello, crafty friends!

It's time for Decorate to Celebrate! You can create anything 3-D for a chance to win a prize from Rhonda!

My sons painted some pumpkins and we used the leftover paint on some paper from IKEA.

After it dried, I cut leaves from my Artiste Cricut cartridge (and hand-cut some others).
I braided 2 yards of yarn.
Then, I simply stapled the leaves on.

I really liked how it turned out...simple and rustic...
