Cooking With Cricut Challenge

Hi Everybody!
It's time for another Cooking With Cricut Challenge!  This challenge is a special one.  It's
cards for 4 year old Brandon.   Here is a little bit about Brandon and his situation:


Brandon was just 4 one day, riding in the family car for a trip to McDonalds for a Happy Meal, when a tragic car accident changed the lives of his young family. Brandon's mother, aunt and sister were all seriously injured and rushed to area hospitals; his mother's boyfriend (the driver of the car) died of his injuries. Brandon was pulseless at the scene of the accident, was revived and taken to a trauma center.


Brandon likes watching other kids playing video games, enjoys superheroes like Spiderman and Batman, sports and Legos. He and his whole family would appreciate cards, prayers and thoughtfulness for this young man as he begins his journey home, through placement in a long term care facility for a stay long enough that Mom can be trained and find a new suitable home where Brandon's complex care can be managed.


I knew just the perfect card I could create for this amazing, and brave little boy.  Here are the details:

*Wrap It Up Cricut cartridge - card feature

*Pink By Design - Our Kids set (sentiment)

*Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots embossing folder

*all paper is scrap from my stash

*Stickles - silver

I hope you enjoyed my project. Now it’s your turn!!! Head on over to Cooking With Cricut to enter your project. TFL, and hope everyone has a chance to craft today :OD

It's Pink Friday! Pink Cricut Design Team Day!

Hi Everybody!

It's Pink By Design Day!!!!!!!!!!! This time Sarah wanted us to create something other than a card.  I was up for the challenge!  I decided to make a frame.  With four kids, I always have plenty of pictures I need to display.  The OUR KIDS stamp set was perfect for this!  Oh, and I will be putting my kids pictures instead of the Cricut heads (although the Cricuts are cute too, but not as cute as my kids!!).  So here's how it turned out:

• Pink By Design OUR KIDS stamp set
• Pink By Design LARGE POLKA background stamp
• Post It Craft Paper
• buttons from my stash
• orange twine from my stash
• $1 frame from the Dollar Tree
• Peachy Keen Boy Mates Assortment set
  
  

*I used the Large Polka background stamp in black to create some cute texture, and kept it in a neutral color so its easy to change the accent colors.



*I also used the stamps to create a background mat for the pictures/shapes. 

*I used white ink so you could still see them, but it wouldn't take away from the picture. 

*I used Post It Craft paper for the sentiments so that I can change the sentiment for the occassion. 

*This idea would also work awsome for graduation pictures and the HAT'S OFF graduation set from Pink By Design!

There ya go!  I hope you like it.  Can you believe this project only cost me $1?  I just had to buy the frame, and everything else I had in my stash.  So if you get these stamp sets, imagine how many presents you could make!  I am all about saving money, and homemade presents!  You could also cut the picture frame from the Happy Hauntings cartridge, and stamp a sentiment on that!  Endless ideas :o)  TFL, and don't forget to head on over to Pink Cricut to see what the rest of the amazing design team has created!!
