Tuesday Daily Project at Exploring Cricut

Hello! Today is my day for the daily project at Exploring Cricut.  I am sharing a calendar page I made using the Happy Hauntings cartridge.  I thought I would start making these and have a complete calendar for my scrap room for 2014!  The calendar blank is a free one from the internet and I just mounted it on black cardstock.  It was printed on white cardstock.  The background paper is from a stack from Michaels called Recollections Haunted Estate.  I think I got it last year.  The title was cut at 1.75 inches, Ghost at 4 inches, Frankie and Bride were cut at 4.25 inches.  Fast and easy project.

New challenge at Exploring Cricut starting today!

Happy Monday all!  Today we have a new challenge over at Exploring Cricut.  You are to make a Halloween card, layout or paper craft any colors, but must include at least 2 Cricut cuts.  Link your project by Saturday, October 26.  I decided on a two page layout since I am so totally behind in scrapbooking.  I used the Happy Hauntings cartridge for my layout.  Below are the measurements and the cuts.  I have also listed my supplies.  I hope you will join us this week in our challenge.
