Cricutters Anonymous- April Showers

The current challenge over on Cricutters Anonymous is to create a project inspired by Spring. I decided to use the adorable new cartridge Give a Hoot and make something with the sweet little

deer cut. I cut the deer smelling the flower from Give a Hoot and matted it on some pale turquoise paper. I then cut a couple of the tulips in grass from Create a Critter (this cartridge is full of great stuff). The deer and the flowers didn't really stretch across the front of the card, so I cut a few pieces of grass from the Easter cartridge as well. I then popped the deer up from the card to give it a little dimension. I covered the front of the card in some beautiful pale blue houndstooth paper and then added a few clouds from Create a Critter and the sun from Doodlecharms. I made this an easel card and I needed something to catch it when the card stands open, so I cut the word spring from the Easter mini cartridge and and popped it up with some pop dots. The pattern paper I used (with the exception of the houndstooth) is from the new Basic Grey collection called Kioshi. I hope you have enjoyed my spring card and we would love for you to join in our challenge.

House Mouse Easter

he current challenge on Cricutters Anonymous is to create an Easter project. I decided to cut the pillow box on the Easter 2010 solutions box and make a cute little box I can fill for treats to give to family or my daughter's teachers. I cut the box out of purple cardstock and decorated it while it was flat (this is easier than trying to decorate it after you have it put together). I colored

an adorable House Mouse image with my copic markers and put that on top of box. I welded the ric rac image that is also on the Easter cartridge and used that as a decoration along the top and bottom of the box. The box on the cartridge actually cuts a rabbit out of the center, but you could change that to any shape by welding something else with your gypsy or design studio or

just cover the cut out bunny up like I did this time. Here is what the box looks like with the bunny. I decorated this one with a border punch and some flowers and put fleece behind the bunny cut out to make him fluffy.

Just Buggin Spring Blog Hop

We are having a Spring Blog Hop on Just Buggin to showcase some fun spring projects the design team has created. You should have ended up here from Hope's Blog, if not you can head back to Just Buggin and start from the beginning. I just had to use my new Easter Mini cart on this

project. This cartridge has some great images on it and Cindy has it at Stamping Scrapping for only $ 19.99. It has so many cute and fun images that are both Eastery and Springy. The pig is from My Community, I added some bunny ears from Paper Doll Dress up. His basket and eggs are from Doodlecharms. All of the other cuts are from the new Easter mini cartridge. I think the lamb and the chick are absolutely adorable.

Now, from here you need to head on over to Stephanie's blog to finish the hop. Hope you enojoy it!!!
