Ok, I am sure you have been wondering what the last few posts are about.  Well I participated in the Cricut.com Circle members Special events for National Scrapbooking Month, on May 4th and 5th.  There were some great events going on.  I participated in almost everything.  So I posted some of the things I made so I could put pictures in each of the contests.  Some contests are still going on as we have until Friday the 11th to complete them and get them posted.  As I complete the rest I will post them here first.  I am going to add a little discription to each one so you know what the contest was.  On the 4th our first game was so much fun.  They chose a random number for a winner and I won.  I was so excited.  I got to choose one of the last 3 new carts as my prize, I took Wild Card 2.  How great is that!!

Tell me about your great expirences this month, being National Scrapbook Month.  There are some great things going on this month.

Thanks,

Gwen

All Scraps Card or Tag

This was another 2 hour challange, I made this tag by grabbing all the little pieces I could out of my waste basket.  Yes, that is what we were told to do, use only scraps to creat a card or tag.  The to and from are made with little scrap pieces too.  I did add a little glitter to the box of scraps at the bottom of the tag.

Scavenger Hunt 20 items

This challange was a timed 2 hour challange.  We were given a list of 20 items to cut out and post a picture of them when we were done.  The cartridge I used for half of the cuts was CTMH Art Philosophy Cartridge, it is such a geat all round cart that has a lot of images on it.  One was put together a box or a bag  I got the pillow box from AP cart.

Letter Envy Cartridge

The challenge for this was to create something using Letter Envy Cartridge and I only had 2 hours.  I had actually played with this cart the night before making items for Malia's 1st birthday party, so I was very familure with it.  I just picked 5 bright colors and wrote out Malia's name and did every 5 cuts a the same color and went until done.  Then glued them all together and this is what I got, a great sign with Malia's name.

Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers, and well everyone else too.

Here Come The Monsters - Happy 1st Birthday Malia

Here come the monsters!! My granddaughter Malia will be 1 year old on May 7th, we will be having her birthday party on the 12th.  These are the invitations I am making for her party.  I am making 28 of them 14 different mini monsters from cricut cartridge "Mini Monsters".  Lettering done with Letter Envy.  Malia's favorite movie is Monsters Inc.  She loves zombies too, my children work at our local Haunted House each October and Malia got to see them all in their costumes and laughed and laughed at them.  She really does like monsters.

Happy Mothers Day

I just finished this one last night.  Malia helped me stamp the flowers, she kept laughing as she got ink on her tiny hands.  I would press the block down and tell her to press and press and press and she put her little fingers on the block and pressed it too.  You might not be able to see the top very well it says, "A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE IS WHAT YOU ARE TO ME".  Just below the big picture it says, " YOU mean the WORLD to me".  I used the CTMH Pemberley set and Art Philosophy cricut cartridge.

Happy Easter

This is a layout I made of my granddaughter Malia for Easter this year.  I used my favorite cartridge, Art Philosophy from CTMH.  I put a little bling on each letter of her name.  The pictures are not the best I printed them on regular paper, but I think it turned out cute.
