Warm Hugs

I love the beautiful colors of fall. And that's about it... I hate that it starts getting colder and I hate that it leads to winter. And at in our family it means work... lots of work... Harvesting the fields and the garden and getting all of that put away.
But I do love the colors and the return of warm cozy sweaters and that it is again acceptable to serve soup and fresh buns as lunch on a regular basis.
So... In an effort to make myself like this beautiful season a little more I made something pretty in its colors (my favorite part!) for one of my favorite peoples birthdays!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog #260: For Kids

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!



Challenge #260-Kids
Make a project for a Kid 

This Weeks Sponsor




The prize is 7 digital stamps!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

And, if you submit a project in our challenge that isn't a card, you will get two entries for a chance to win the prize instead of one!

Hey Everyone!! I have a little activity gift for you today made with Bugaboo's Word Search- Brat Girl.Thank You Bugaboo!!!
 This one was a lot of work for me because I used my Cricut Design Space to create all those layers!! I cut the .jpeg on the green paper, the png on white cardstock and then I did some editing in my upload images area to have just the girl and the cupcakes printed on copic paper for coloring. The balloons were cut with Create a Critter, Pooh and Friends, Something to Celebrate and Elmo's Party cricut cartridges and were done with the Design Space feature "Print then Cut" as I didn't want this to be a really think project (You'll see why in 2 weeks ;))
This little project is going in with a very smart 5 year olds birthday card next weekend and I hope she loves it!!

CTMH Sweet Taste of Summer paper
Walmart Glitter paper
