Cricut 360 Challenge #6 Refreshing and more Sneak Peeks!

Yeah it is Friday and that means another challenge over at Cricut 360 along with some more Sneak Peeks from the BugBites All Year Round stamp set.

For the challenge this week, we want to see something that is refreshing to help cool off during these hot summer days. 

That's right...let's throw on those floaties and hit the pool.

Don't ya just love this sweet little girl? 

I used the H2O cart and cut the girl at 4.25" several times to get all the color pieces I wanted and then pieced her together. 

The face is from a pack of Sizzix rub-on faces I got months ago and just never found the right face to use them on til now. 

And of course, the sentiment is from my new stamp set, All Year Round. 

Now you too can hop over to Cricut 360 and link up your project. But before you do, please read on to see more sneak peeks of my new BugBites stamp set from my friends Maquel and Sarah.

Frosted Designs Blog Hop

Welcome to the Frosted Designs Ice cream on the Beach Blog Hop/weekly challenge and 1st Anniversary.

if you are coming over from Krissinia you're in the right spot. if you just stopped by and want to start from the beginning, click here.

For my blog hop project, I challenged myself to include:

Blog Hop theme - Ice Cream on the Beach

Challenge theme - Ribbon/fancy/trim,charm,rhinestone/pearls for this week

Birthday theme - to celebrate Frosted Designs 1st Birthday. 

 Phew- that was a challenge to get all this into one little card.

I was asked recently...

What size LO do you prefer or do you prefer cards.

My Answer: Prefer cards
Yup- seems that is my go to project type lately since it can be quick.


Now for the project this week....

I came up with my little swimmer who just got out of the water and now is looking to see what direction to go for ice cream. Not only does he see the sign for ice cream, he is wished a Happy Birthday and stumbles along a treasure of oyster shells filled with pearls.

• I used several cartridges for this card....
• H2O for the swimmer and sun 
• Pooh and Friends for the sign
• Sponge Bob, Square Pants for the fish
• Birthday Bash for the ice cream cone
• Life's a Beach for the crab
• Stretch Your Imagination for the shells
• Imagine cartridge Better Together for the blue paper background

I think this is a record of carts used on one project for me.

I added some lace at the waters edge to look like white caps on the water. Added some pearls inside the oyster shells, google eyes on the crab, some brads on the signs that look like screws, and a charm I found of a flipper and swim goggles. 

I added glossy accents to the swim mask and flippers on my swimmer. 

Finally, I used the Swiss Dots and Divine Swirls embossing folders for the sandy beach  
I used several stamps--MPS More Punny-licious, Scrappy Moms Kids Incorpated, and PKS Boy Mates Face stamp sets.

Now we can't have a blog hop without some Blog Candy.
