Scavenger Hunt LO!

I discovered yet another cool challenge blog called Abby's Scrappy Mom's Challenge! This week's challenge is Anything Goes so I decided to enter a LO I did for a online Photo Scavenger Hunt I participated in yesterday. Yesterday's challenge was to find and take a picture of 10 things from a list of 15 or so. Then make a LO showing what you found. I cut the letters using my Cricut and the Alphalicious cartridge. I first cut the shadow feature in black and then the base cut in yellow. I matted all the pictures on butter yellow cardstock and used Creative Memories DP. The camera is cut from Create A Critter cartridge (mouse-s cut). I cut it first in black using the shadow feature and then in dusk gray for the middle layer and finally in light gray for the top layer. I also recycled my plastic Cricut mat liner and cut a small circle to put in the layers to create a "lens"! It's reflecting off the light in this picture making it look silver but it's actually clear.

Don't forget to check out my BLOG CANDY up for grabs until February 14th!

Koala Birthday Card!

I'd like to share a cute birthday card I made for my sister who LOVES Koala Bears. I used the Create A Critter cartridge and my Cricut machine to create this cute little lovey. I cut the Koala using the shadow feature twice. Adhered them together and then cut the layers (light gray and dark gray). I used pop dots to add dimension between layers. I cut the heart balloon from the same cartridge and used a rub on to add the sentiment. Finishing touches include the pink rhinestones on the heart balloon and the purple bow in the Koala's ear. SO easy and SO cute!
