Cooking With Cricut Design Team Day - What Did You Do This Summer?

Hi Everybody!
It's time for another Cooking With Cricut Challenge!  This week's theme is What Did You Do This Summer? 

 

We definitely had a tight budget this summer, but we just got creative in what we did!  My daughter's girl scout troop was having an outing to watch the Grunion Run in San Pedro, so we decided to make a whole weekend of it!  We found a hotel in our budget, and near to the beach.  It was so much fun!  We also played around on Santa Monica Pier, and in the ocean.  It was the last "vacation" before the kids went to school, and they are still talking about it :O)  Here's one of they layouts I made to celebrate this trip:

 

 

*Life's A Beach Cricut cartridge - beach ball, crab

*Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge - sun, sand castle

*Peachy Keen Stamps - The Cornies Assortment set, Princess Face Assortment

*Echo Park - polka dot patterned paper

*all other paper was from my stash :)

*Action Wobbles - behind the beach ball, sun, crab

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my project.  Sadly, this is my last post for the design team :( I just wanted to thank Melinda for the opportunity to be on such an amazing team. And also thank you to Jennifer Hudson, Madison Womack, and the other amazing ladies that help run this team! It's been an honor to create with such wonderful ladies :O)

Timeless Twine August Challenge

Hi Everybody!

It's time for another Timeless Twine Challenge! This time the challenge is:

summer foods and scallops! 

We love all kinds of foods during the summer, but it's really summer season when we start breaking out the fruit!  Pineapple, strawberries, and cherries are a few of our favorites.....yummy!!!  Here is my challenge project:

*Timeless Twine - Olive Green, Lemonade, Pumpkin Orange

*Nate's ABC's Cricut cartridge - pineapple fruit group

*Life's A Beach Cricut cartridge - sandcastle, beach ball

*Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge - starburst shape

*Jaded Blossom - Feeling Fruity stamp set (strawberries, and sentiments)

*Peachy Keen Stamps - Princess Face Assortment, The Cornies, Cherub Faces

*Although it's been quite a while since we've had anybody on formula at our house, we saved all the formula cans!  They are perfect for centerpieces!!

*I just took some 12" x 24 paper, cut it into strips, and wrapped it around the can.

*To keep with the summer theme, I filled it with play sand to weigh it down.

*Summer also means the beach for us, so I threw in a couple of summer cuts on our summer centerpiece :O)

Now it's your turn! Head on over to the Timeless Twine blog to enter the challenge, and for your chance to win a great prize. TFL, and hope everyone has a chance to craft today :O)
