Create any project, that is not a card!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

Here is my project:

 

So sorry that this picture is not the best but I was under two deadlines to meet the FCCB deadline and my 25 days of Christmas deadline. Hopefully, I can keep posting projects. Today's project is the countdown calendar that I am using with my kids this year. It's a wood calendar from SaCrafters and I love it. I painted it and used Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium. The chimney, stockings, ornaments and trees, lamp and sentiment are also from Sa Crafters. I love the chimney. I used my MFT brick stencil and paste and then painted over it with white gesso. Once that all dried, I sprayed a slate colored Prima Bloom spray over it and it came out great.

 

The only problem that I had was with the boxes. They were cut from heavy chipboard and no matter what I did, I couldn't fold it small enough to fit in the boxes. I couldn't imagine struggling with 24 of these so I cut the boxes with my Artiste cartridge. Inside the boxes are mint Hershey kisses.

 

 

I had the busiest weekend ever and am still recovering. We went to a special Gingerbread event, had ballet and basketball practice and game, tumbling, a birthday party and a Christmas show that the kids sang in all in one weekend! Great fun but kind of glad to be at work to rest. Ha! That's not true because I have so much clean up and end of the semester stuff to do but at least it's reasonably quiet most of the day.

 

Anyway, visit me tomorrow when I will (hopefully) have another project to share with you all.

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a project that I made for the Sa Crafters July challenge. Sa is not doing challenges any more this was the last one. The challenge was to use a certain bike from her store. If you haven't visited Sa's store you should (I am not affiliated in any way), she has tons of wood and chipboard embellishments and albums, frames, stencils and more. I have a ton of her products and just need more hours in the day to work on them!

The sentiments and the windows are also from Sa's store. I painted it yellow with Martha Stewart pain that I had in my stash and all of the flowers were from my stash as well. The picture is a favorite from the 4th of July. My Tyler with my sister and her sweet baby.

Thanks so much for looking today.
