Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend CWC Challenge #83

Hello and welcome to Michelle's Crafty Creations

Today at Cooking with Cricut, our DT was challenged to make something with BLING!!  I love bling! 

 I have SO MUCH of it and rarely use it.  So this was challenging for me.  Why?  Because something can go from pretty to gaudy quickly (at least in my book)  Think Bedazzled over board....yeah...not pretty! (all you 80's and 90's children will know what I'm talking about) I can SO go gaudy!!  I see other people use stickles and bling like it's going outta style and it really looks good!!! So I really thought about this one.  I had someone in mind when making it.  I can't say yet, but they will know soon!  The hardest part was paper, but in the end it ALWAYS comes together!!  

I really like how it came out. :)

To make this I used:

Cart: Walk In My Garden for the flower (That's it!!) LOL

Paper: DCWV Garden Party and Colorbok for solid

Misc: Bling from my stash (I have a LOT of it), SU flourish, foam dots for dimension on flower

Happy Resurrection Day!

Hey all my crafty peeps!!  I hope you are having a great midweek so far!

Today at Cooking With Cricut we are celebrating one of my favorite holidays...Resurrection Day.  I know, most of us call it Easter.  Whatever you call it is JUST fine.  I want the day to be about remembering Christ's resurrection.  If it were not for this momentous occasion, how would I, or you, be able to go to Heaven?  Not only did Jesus, our Lord and Savior, die on the cross for our sins; He overcame death with his bodily resurrection.  We serve a RISEN Savior!

For my Sunday School class, I put together a goodie bag and a card for each of them.  I thought it would be prudent to put a verse on the card rather than a punny saying.  I think it is very fitting for what we have been learning in class.  Plus, it came out SUPER cute!!

Here is a picture with the goodie bag in the back and the card!

Isn't the lamb CUTE??!!

To make this card I used:

Cart ~ Everday Paper Dolls for the grass

Digi Stamp ~ Lamb from PCW (Lamb I Love You set~ They have another cute lamb as a cutting file too)

Paper ~ DCWV Pocket Full of Posies

Sentiment ~ computer generated

Misc ~ Recollection's Banana flock for the lamb; Enamel accents (black) for the hooves; Pink and white gelly roll pens for the lamb; twine from The Twinery; 

Now it's your turn!!

Girly Sweet 16 album

Hello my bloggy friends and welcome to Michelle's Crafty Creations.

Today I wanted to show you an album I made for my niece's upcoming 16th birthday.  She told me she liked certain colors and I tried to implement them all. (You will see a post later this week with her decorations)  For this, I wanted to create something more personal so she could capture her special day.  She will be celebrating a little later than her birthday so her dad who is deployed will be there.  A special day it will be in deed.

I used the Sweet Treats and Create a Critter Cricut cartridge for this album.  All of this was created on my Gypsy.  (This album was made from empty Freschetta Pizza boxes double layered)

Close up of the front.  The flower was curled and had skittles added to it.  "Sweet" was inked with Ranger Distress: Tea Dye.

 
(backside of front cover)

Photo mat or journaling.  Whichever she chooses along with a hidden tag.  Stampin Up mini library clip with some twine from The Twinery to grasp the tag.  Brown buttons to give it a finishing touch.

 

Card feature from Sweet treats to add a photo matt and possible journaling.  Twine from The Twinery and button to add some fun to the number one.

Back side of first page.

 
Last Page.
Journal tags with hidden photo matts.


I used My Big Bite Crop-A-Dile to punch holes and added binder rings to complete it.  Added some ribbon from my stash for decorations.  All paper was used from DCWV The Garden Party stack.

I think she will LOVE this.  I know I do!
