Save the Earth Fantabulous Cricut Crawl

Wowza! It's Monday and the Seventh Fantabulous Cricut Crawl . . . Fantabulous Cricut's version of a Blog Hop! How exciting! 


The theme is "Save the Earth" and through this crawl you'll get a chance to see each design team member featuring a project using a recycled item and at least one Cricut cut. 


If you got here from visiting Cindy at Cindy's Scraptastic Designs you're in the right place!  If you just happened to pass by my blog I would love for you to play along with our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl, start HERE. =)



I decided to do a supply holder for my desk!  
The item I reused was this container that held some flowers. 
 I even used all scraps for this project ;) 
 

I decided to go with this project because my supplies were so unorganized!!!
The scrap paper was just the perfect size! 
 I added this cuuute girl from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. Her face is from Peachy Keen's Happy Lashes assortment. 
 I just added a few punch outs from an old paper stack around the container. 
 Here is the end result :)
Not 100% organized, but much better! 

Ready for some blog candy?!?
 Peachy Keen's new Cherub Faces 1 1/8th set! 

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and that's it! =) 

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog for some awesome inspiration! There will be PRIZES along the way at our DT members' blogs, AND there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant that submits a "Save the Earth" project at FCCB!

Now it's your turn! Let's see your Upcycled-Themed projects! Make sure to include a Cricut Cut somewhere on your project!

Next stop is Faith at Faith Abigail Designs! Go see what she has in store for you today... And when you're done, make sure to link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post to be entered into the contest!

My mom's birthday is May 11th (so close to Mother's Day!) so I decided to make a card for her first :) 
The card base is from Wild Card cartridge. The flowers, flourish, and sentiment mat are all from the Art Philosophy cartridge. 
The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Mom You Rock set. I added some pearls on the inside of the flowers. The twine on the side of the card is Lilac from The Twinery.

Mom LO

Hello everybody! Mother's Day is coming up pretty soon and over at Krafty Girls we have the perfect challenge. The challenge this week is Dear Mom. All you have to do is create a card, scrapbook layout, 3D object, or home decor project for Mother's Day.
The banner is from the Art Philosophy cartridge. It is layered on the chipboard that comes with the Art Philosophy bundle. The word "MOM" is from Storybook. 
The twine used is Blossom from The Twinery. 
This sentiment is from My Creative Time's Mom You Rock set. I used two stamps to create this sentiment (I stamped them a little too close :/ ) 

Take a look at the rest of the DT to get inspiration and don't forget to join in here!! 
Thank you for looking!

Surprise

Good evening! I just discovered that Market Street Stamps also has challenges! I couldn't help but to try it!


Here is their color inspiration challenge. 
The cat jumping out of the cake is from Birthday Bash cartridge. I added some pop dots to give it dimension. 

Isn't the face just darling! It's from Peachy Keen's new stamp release. It's the Here Kitty Kitty Face assortment! It's my first time using background stamps and I messed up a little :( I used the Market Street Stamps' Pretty Perfect Grid. 
Not sure if you knew this, but you can purchase Market Street Stamps through Peachy Keen here;)
Here is the card again.  
 Thank you so much for looking!
