Time for a Challenge at Exploring Cricut!

Time for a new challenge at Exploring Cricut. This challenge is called "What's Cooking". You are to create a card, layout, or paper craft with something themed from the kitchen. Can be a recipe book, card, scrapbook page, or any item using a cooking or kitchen theme. Very easy and simple. You must use a cricut machine and cricut cartridge! Submit your entry by Saturday, September 28.  For this challenge I did a scrapbook layout of my little one baking cupcakes.  I used the  From My Kitchen, Pooh and Friends, and Cricut Font and Basic shapes.  My muffin pan did not show good in this picture, but looks good in the layout.  My lighting was not the best and the paper was shiny.  I hope you will join us for this challenge.  Below the picture are my instuctions.

Exploring Cricut Challenge

Welcome to another challenge at Exploring Cricut. The challenge today is a fun one. I have been a little out of the loop this week with a death in the family and being out of town and seems like the week got away. So glad to be back to crafting and blogging. Now lets talk about the challenge! You can create a card, layout or papercraft of any theme or color, but must include a person (man, woman, boy, girl) Many of the cartridges have characters so you can have fun exploring!

Tuesday Daily Project at Exploring Cricut

Today, I have the daily project at Exploring Cricut. I created me a book to keep all my information down in when I am making my projects and challenges. I made the book 6 x 9 and bound it with my Bind It All machine. I used chipboard for the front and back covers and covered them in matching papers that went with my little bug! I used the cartridges Fancy Frames, Cricut Fonts and Basic Shapes, and Cricut Storefront. Below the picture are my measurements. This was a easy project and will really be helpful for me too!
