JME Creations DT Halloween Challenge

The Design Team over at JME Creations was

challenged this week to create a Halloween

themed project.  I decided to think out side of

the box and combine the triangle box from

tags, bags, boxes & more and a circle to make

this cute witches hat.

The triangle box can be found on page 125.  I cut it

with the fit to page with the window feature button on.

The box ends up being 4 inches wide and 4 inches tall.

For the window on the box I cut a sheet protector to fit.

The circle and stars are from the Doodletype cart.  The 

circle is on page 121 and cut at 5 1/2 inches.  The stars

are on page 90 and cut at 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 inches.

I hope you enjoyed my Halloween Treat Box

 for todays challenge.  I know my Design Team

Sisters made some wonderful projects for todays

challenge.  You can check them out at:

JME Creations DT Purple, Green & Orange Challenge

The Design Team over at JME Creations was

challenged this week to use the colors Purple, 

Green & Orange.  I decided to continue with 

Halloween cards.  All of the cuts for this card 

came from the Paperdoll Dress Up cartridge. 

Which you can find on page 53. 

I started with a card base of 5 X 6 1/2".

The back ground paper is from last years

DCWV halloween paper and is cut 1/4"

smaller than the card base.  The Franken

Bride, moon & tombstone are all cut at 3".

The "Happy Halloween" stamp is a Studio 

G $1.00 stamp from last years set.

I hope you enjoyed my Halloween card for

 todays challenge.  I know my Design Team

Sisters made some wonderful projects for todays

challenge.  You can check them out at:

The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop

Welcome to the Great Pumpkin Blog Hop brought to you

by JME Creations Design Team.  If you are joining me 

from my Design Team Sister Tina at

http://myhoppyplace.blogspot.com

Then you are in the right place.

If you just happened across my Blog and would like to 

play alone in our fun hop, you can go to

http://jmecreations.blogspot.com

and start at the beginning.  All my Design Team Sisters

did a fabulous job on this Blog Hop Please make sure

to check out each Blog and tell them how much you 

loved their projects.

In this Blog Hop you will see a lot of Pumpkins. For 

this Pumpkin Blog Hop I decided to make a 3D Pumpkin.

To make my Pumpkin I used Accent Essentials Cricut

cartridge.  You could use almost any of the round shapes

on this cartridge but, I choose to use page 52.  I cut the 

pumpkin at 6 1/2 inches 8 different times.  Then folded 

each of the circles in half and glued them to the next circle

until you get the fullness you want.  I would of added 2

more circles but I only had 8 pieces of this color orange.

(reminder to self: get 2 packs of paper then next time you see it)

For the leaves I used the Storybook Cartridge.  You 

will find this leaf on page 29.  I cut the leave at 3", 

2 1/2" and 2 inches.  The flourishes are also from

Storybook on page 54.  Cut at 3" and 2 inches. For

the stem I couldn't find one that I liked so I cut 

one by hand.  

I though I have not give away any Blog Candy in

a long time so why not today??  So, my Blog Candy

for today will be a wonderful surprise!!  Trust me you 

will LOVE it!!  If you would like to be entered into 

my Blog Candy drawing please leave me a fabulous

comment.  And if you would love to follow me that

would be great but, not a requirement to be entered.

I am the last stop on today's Blog Hop.  I hope 

you had a great time getting to know my Design

Team Sisters as much as I do.  

Did you love my pumpkin as much as I do??

Have a fun filled fall day and please come back

often to see more of my craftiness.  

Sweet Wishes, Sharon

Festive Friday's

Today is Festive Friday's over at My Cricut Craftroom.

For today I decided to make the first of my Halloween 

cards.  I love the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. This 

really cute Frankenstein came from page 52.  I started

with a 5 X 6 1/2 inch base card.  I took a 4 X 4 1/2 inch

piece of black paper and free hand drew spiderwebs 

with my white pencil.  Frankenstein is cut at 3 1/2 inches.

The Happy Halloween stamp once again is from the 

Studio G $1.00 stamps.  

I really hope you loved my first of many Halloween

cards.  Please head over to My Cricut Craftroom to 

see what my fantastic Design Team sister have made

for today.

Thankful Thursdays DT Monster Challenge

The Crazy About Cricut Design Team was challenged

this week to use a monster on any type of project.

I decided to make a do it your self Smores Monster

kit.  This is a very simple treat bag to make for your

child's classroom.  

The Monster is from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge

on page 70 and is cut at 2 inches.  For the treat bag I 

used a snack sized baggie. To add a topper measure

 the length of the baggie and how tall you want the

topper to be but, make sure you double the height.

You will need to fold it in half to have a back side.

I stapled the topper to the baggie and hide the staples

with the orange paper.  The stamp is from the dollar

section at Michael's.  And of course I had to add a 

small yellow prima flower with a little bit of bling. 

Now isn't she Cute!!

Now that you have seen my Monster project for today 

please head over to Crazy About Cricut to take a look 

at what my Wonderful Design Team sisters have made 

for todays challenge.

I hope you liked my simple but, Cute Monster project

for today.  Please come back soon for more sweet treats.

Card Creating Tuesday

Today over at My Cricut Craftroom is Card Creating Tuesday. 

Here in Oregon we are finally in full Fall weather. Don't get 

me wrong I love all the fall colors, the cool east winds and 

the thought that Christmas is just around the corner. But, who 

doesn't love a good brightly colored popsicle? So, for todays 

card I decided to make some fun colored popsicles. I used the 

Cricut cartridge Doodlecharms and Tags, Bags, Boxes & More.

Using my gyspy I added 2 (4.63 X 6.26) blackout popsicles 

to the gyspy mat. In order to have them fold in half correctly 

you have to flip one of them. Then I used the weld option

 on the Gyspy to get the card effect. Now you have the card

 base. I then cut out one of the blackout bases in brown and

 ran the stick part trough my Cuttlebug with the wood grain 

folder. The popsicle top was cut in a variety of bright colored 

DCWV paper and ran trough my Cuttlebug with the dots 

folder.  The cute little tags are cut with the TBBM cricut 

cartridge at 1 1/2 inches. The stamps on the tags are from 

the dollar stamps at Michael's.  I love them because you 

get to pick just what you want. 

I added a small piece of colored paper behind the cut spaces so 

you didn't have the brown paper showing. The glitter is a 

variety of colored stickles. I thought that the prima flowers 

added an extra layer of bling. Even the popsicle stamp is 

from the dollar stamp section.

Now that you have seen my cards for today please head

on over to My Cricut Craftroom to take a look at what my

other Design Team sisters have created for today.

I hope you have a great day and please come

My Cricut Craft Room's Theme Day Thursday "Sweet Treats"

Today over at My Cricut Craftroom is Theme Day Thursday.

The Theme for today is "Sweet Treats"

My husband's friend Jamie LOVES the New York Yankees

 and had a Birthday coming up so, I thought I could join

 those two together.

One of my very favorite Cricut cartridges is Tags, Bags,

Boxes & More.  This cake box was cut with the fit to 

page option on.  It ended up being 2 1/4 tall, 5 1/2 long

& 3 1/2 wide in the back. The blue paper is from Bazzill

and is really nice and thick so, it holds up really well.  I 

think that is one of the tricks to making any of the boxes

on this cartridge.

The baseball is from Everyday Paper Dolls cut at 2

inches. I then backed it with another baseball cut out 

of the blue paper at 2 1/4 inches.  To have it lifted off

the top of the box I added pop dots to the bottom of 

the baseball. To make the NY look more like the 

real NY design I cut the N out from Kate's ABCs 

at 1 1/2 inches and the Y is from Old West cut at 

1 1/2 inches.  I added pop dots to the N to have it

lift off the Y.

I love adding the little extra touches to make the boxes look 

like a real piece of cake.  The dripping frosting is from the 

Martha Stewart border punch called Drippy Goo. This was 

a very sought after punch a few year ago because of all the 

different way you can use it.  I ran the "frosting" trough my

Cuttlebug with the dots folder and them chalked them with

a blue chalk.  If you look closely in the pictures you can see a

little white tab on the back of the box.  I added a strip of twill

tape so Jamie could get at the "Sweet Treats" that were in his 

box.  I filled a plastic treat bag with cake balls that I decorated

with blue and white chocolate.  

Here is the web site to get some great direction on how to make 

cake balls and cake pops.

Now that you have seen my "Sweet Treats" Please head on over to 

My Cricut Craft Room to take a look at what my other Design Team

Sister have created for today.

This weeks challenge JME Creations

Over at JME Creations the Design Team was 

Challenged to make anything using an Owl.

I made this cute Owl card by using the Wild

Card Cricut cartridge and the dot embossing 

folder for the cuttlebug with lots of pink ink 

chalk.  The hearts are cut out from the Doodle

Charms Cricut cartridge.  

The Owl was cut using the fit to page option. Which

 makes it 6 inches.  I also used the blackout option

 because I only needed the base of the card.  The 

layered look is achieved by cutting 1 inch wide 

strips of paper, punching them with a border 

punch (I used a Martha Stewart punch) After 

the strips are punched I ran them trough the 

cuttlebug using the dots folder.  Then came the

pink ink chalk (I love this stuff). Finally you just

glue layer on top of layer until you get the look

you want. I cut the eyes out twice.  First at 6 inches

and them at 7 inches. I only did this because I wanted

the black to cover up the hole in the brown eye.  You

will have to cut by hand your own beak. The hearts 

were cut at 2 1/4 inches & 2 inches.

Please head on over to JME Creations to see what

my Design Team Sisters have come up with for 

this challenge.  Please go to:

To check them out.

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you loved my

take on the Owl Challenge. Come back soon.

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's October 100

Cartridge Blog Hop Day 2.

If you are joining me from Lisa's blog at

http://www.allmadebylisa.blogspot.com

Then you are in the right place.

If you happened across my blog and would like to 

play along in our fun hop, you can go to

My Cricut Craft Room at

http://www.mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

and start at the beginning.

There are many amazing and talented ladies in 

todays hop. The idea of this blog hop is to show 

you how to use 100+ cartridges. 

Today I have a couple of Sweet Treats to share 

with you. I hope you enjoy my projects for 

todays hop.

This is only a partial picture of all 150 treat boxes.

  A coworker of my mom's was getting married in a

 couple of weeks and asked if I would be able to 

make her some treat boxes but, didn't know what

she wanted.  So, out came the Tags, Bags, Boxes

 and More cartridge.  I knew exactly what box I 

wanted to make.

I cut the box on blackout to get rid of the holes 

for the handle. And then set my E on fit to page.

With that setting on a 12 x 12 page the box ends

up being 2 1/2 x 2 1/2.  (Which is the perfect size

to fit 2 cake balls inside.) After I scored folded

and taped all the sides together I added a 1 inch

strip of card stock around the box.  I didn't tape 

the top closed so there was easer access to get at 

the delicious cake balls.  The flowers on top are 

cut from Accent Essentials at 1 1/2 and 1 inch

each.  I curled the petals after they were glued 

together.  And you always need a little BLING

to bring it all together.

Here are the cake pops that my mom and

I made to hand out to the kids.  We figured

that the kids would love these more than

the fancy boxes.  Who would know that

the adults would go crazy over them to.

If you have never heard of Cake pop or 

Cake Balls you can get the recipe by going

I hope you enjoyed my fun Wedding boxes.
