Tuesday Daily project at Exploring Cricut

Welome. Today I have the daily project over at Exploring Cricut. Our 3 year old granddaughter is playing her first year of soccer and my husband is her coach and wants me to take pictures of each game and make each child a little memory book to be presented at the end of the season. I am glad there are only 6 little ones lol. I just made a sample of what I might do and he likes this, so we will probably go with it.  I used the cartridges Pooh Font, Sports Mania and Everyday Paper Dolls.  Below are the details.  I know I have been lacking in doing projects, but going to try to get some ready before the weekend because it looks like we are painting before new carpet will be put in!  Head over to Exploring Cricut and join our challenge too!

I had a little time today to work on my granddaughter Mary-Kate's album that I am way behind in and had fun making this page. This was at a orchard that had a slide and she loved it. Her Papaw and cousin even got their time going down it. I used the cartridges Recess, Hello Kitty Font, Playground digital, and Paper Dolls for Everyday. Below the pictures are the details.

Playground digital- I cut the slide at 7.5 inches and cut two of them. I trimmed the sides off one and ran the other through a crimper and then popped up the sides I had cut.

New and fun challenge at Exploring Cricut this week!

We are having a great challenge starting today at Exploring Cricut. The challenge is called "It's a Box" You are to make a box, bag, purse, any shaped container you want from your cricut cartridges. With all the great cartridges we have with the party favors and treat boxes, I am sure you will find something you will want to do! I decided on making the Dog House treat box from the new Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 cartridge. The box just took on its own charm once I got started on it. I used Old West for wood planks for the roof to jazz it up, Animal Kingdom for the Dog, Everyday Paper Dolls for the grass, Paper Doll Dress Up for the bone and to decorate around the dog house, tulips from Spring Cottage. Below the picture I will put the measurements for each cut. I can't wait to see your creation!

New challenge at Exploring Cricut

Today we are starting a new challenge at Exploring Cricut. It is called "Food Frenzy" Create a card, layout, or papercraft using an item of food cut with the cricut. You can do any theme or colors, just let your imagination go wild. This week my granddaughter Peyton who is 2 1/2 years old came to stay with me one day and we had some bananas that need to be made into muffins. She loves banana muffins and she loves to help. She peeled the bananas, smashed them, (her terms) put them in the batter, taste the batter when nana went to get the pans, put in pan and bake. This is how she described to her Dad on how she baked muffins complete with hand gestures, but he was on the phone lol. Her favorite part was eating them when they were finished. For this project I used the cartridges Everyday Paper Dolls, Create a Critter, Preserves, and From My Kitchen. Below the picture are the measurements.

Muffin cut at 4.5 inches-Paper Dolls for Everyday
