Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday # 82 - Purple People Eaters

Happy Monday!!!

If you are looking for the Cricut 360 Blog Hop post and a chance to win one of my stamps sets, click here. If I get to 500 followers, I get to draw 2 winners! only 5 to go.

I am glad to be  home and looking forward to the coming weekend when I join my 9 friends for a long weekend of scrapping!. I can't wait. 

This week over at Fantabulolus Circut, the Challenge Me Monday Challenge is Purple People Eaters. 

We have a great sponsor that allowed the design team to use 1 of 2 different SVG file sets for this challenge. 

I choose to use some of the little characters from the Spooky Friends svg set from SVG Attic.

There are 9 different files, not bad for the one low price for all of that.

So for my project, I decided to do a step card, but made it a "biggie" since I wanted my little costumed friends to be big enough. So this card when folded flat measures 5"x7"

I am really happy with how it turned out. I added some cuts from my Cricut as well as some 3D stickers I had in my stash.Not sure I would trick or treat at that spooky looking house. 

I look forward to seeing what you come up with for this challenge. please be sure to swing by SVG Attic to see the cute files they have for you. 

Here's How I did it....

World Card Making Day!

Hey everyone- it is World Card Making Day. For some of us, every day is card making day, right?

I have a cute little Halloween card to share with you today. It features one of my stamps from my new Magic Spells stamp set.

I have been using my Mini Monsters cartridge quite a bit lately getting ready for a scrapbook retreat in a few weeks. That cart has this really cute frog that I just had to use on something. Don't you just love those squiggly eyes with the eye lashes.

Scrappy Moms Stamps is also having a challenge to use this Mini Monsters cart, so I will be linking up this project there as well.

Food Fare Friday a Little Late

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Looks like some interesting things coming up from what I am seeing from all the posts from CHA this past week. How about that Cricut mini?
Boy, will this be great. A Cricut I can travel with easily- yeah!

For other news in my world, I have been working on a project for months and I am so excited that I can finally reveal it coming up the week of August 1. I can't wait to share the news. It is going to be a week of fun you won't want to miss.

Because I have been working on this project and traveling on business quite a bit the last two weeks, I lost track of posting a Food Fare project. So here is what I did.

I love sharing recipes and doing recipe exchanges. I also love to scrap my recipes. My goal is to get all my favorites scrapped so I have fun recipes to look at when I cook. This is a huge project because there are so many great recipes.

I got this recipe years ago from someone I worked with. This has become a favorite in my house and I have shared it with many friends who love it as well.

Sometimes the Food Fare recipes are hard to read. So if at anytime there is one you want and cannot read it well, please drop me a note and I will be glad to send it to you.

I will be linking this up to the Cooking with Cricut Challenge this week which is to use Lollipops- how fun!!

Here's How I did it.....
8x8 base
all paper from my stash
Candies  from Christmas Cheer
Lollipop from Mini Monsters
Sweet Treats title from Mini Monsters
Martha Stewart border punch
Lots of stickles!

Food Fare

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.I have been trying to come up with a cool name for my new tab on this blog where you will be able to find posted recipe scrap pages. Not sure I love it, but it works. Welcome to Food Fare. This will be the new home of images for any recipe page I post. That way you all can come back at anytime and grab a recipe. If at anytime, the recipe is hard to read, just send me a note and I will be glad to forward a copy via email 

If you missed my first recipe post, you can find it here.

Here is the next one. These are really yummy.

Here's how I did it...

Pattern page/page cut to 8x8

Monsters and lamp post cut from Mini Monsters cart.

Font and shadow font cut from Feeling Groovy cart

Maratha Stewart drippy goo border punch. 

Added some chalk, doodles with my gel pen and some squiggle eyes.

Enjoy!! 
This project can also be found posted for the Monday challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut for the Challenge Me Monday #44 Challenge and at Penny's Paper Challenge

Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge

Paula over at More Than Favors has weekly challenges using different Cricut Cartridges each week called Cricut Cartridge Chaos.

Looked like fun so I pulled out my Mini Monster Cricut cartridge, which is the cartridge to use this week, to see what I could do. This is one of my favorite carts. My card is a bit "out of this world" with some wacky colors. Don't ya just love those eyes. I found them at my craft store in the doll aisle, lashes and all.

Here's how I did it....

Pattern paper is from Anna Griffin, Imaginations, Creative Memories and scraps from my stash

Card base is cut at 5.5" from Wild Card, p.51

The circle frame is cut at 3.20" from Wild Card, p.39; I placed the frame on top of the card base and hid the outer circle on my gypsy before cutting to be sure the opening on the base matched the opening on the frame.

Punched a yellow circle with my CM large circle punch

Sentiment is from Scrappy Moms A Haunting We will Go stamp set

Stickles, chalk, doodles with my white gel pen and a scrap piece of ribbon stapled on the inside complete this project.
