Love burlap sign

I got frame on a mirror at Dollar Tree.  The mirror was already falling out of it when I bought it so it was easy to get that out ;). I am such a dork.  The entire time I am standing in line I am thinking- the cashier is going to say to me "You realize this is broken right?"  and how I couldn't wait to see her face when I say I like broken mirrors.  It was such a let down... she didn't say anything about the broken mirror to me!  Seriously, it took the wind right out of my sails! I then spray painted the frame.

I cut the word "LOVE" out with my Gypsy Wanderings cartridge then set the paper down on the burlap and used a foam brush to paint the burlap with some paint I had kicking around that somewhat matched the spray paint.  It matched MUCH better before I used it.  Then you just hot glue the back on and you are good to go!

CTO Blue and White any occasion

**** 300 follower give away here.

 

Today's challenge is to create something for any occasion using blue and white.   My photos want to tint this a bit more blue then it really is but I can't seem to figure a way to stop that.

I used Gypsy Wanderings for the shape on the left and Wild Card for the sentiment.  This is NOT the way I envisioned this card at all.  This was a total crafting misfit project.  Let me put it this way, 2 of my teeth are now blue from an unfortunate gel pen experience before using my actual Cricut inks in the Cricut.  I thought this would be quick and simple but it ended up taking more time then anything I have done in recent history.

My Mind's Eye has come out with a pack of all their paisley papers! I love it this background paper is from that.  I am loving that paper stack!

I originally just inked the stuff on but the white was shocking and basically horrid.  So I chalked the white paper some.  In person it isn't so blue but it works :)

I would love to see what you come up with!  Join us at Celebrate the Occasion and show us what you come up with!

Easter Card

Happy Sunday!

I am out of town on vacation and had to bring my Cricut.  I think I have a serious illness :)  I just made a cute little Easter card.  There were a few more things I would have done or done differently but without access to my full craft space I was limited.  Then there are not craft stores anywhere near me!  How will I survive an entire week?!

I used Core'Dinations for the cardstock that is torn.  It is from the Whitewash Collection... how cute is that?!  I took a ton of before and after photos and process photos.  Then I realized that this laptop I have with me doesn't have a place for me to insert my camera's memory card.  YIKES!  I had to take the finish photos with my cell phone which is less than ideal but hey at least I got them!

Supplies:
* Core'dinations and Bazzil cardstock
* Gypsy Wanderings for bunny and Give a Hoot for butterfly
* Queen and Company pearls (Which are made to match Core'dinations!)
* Prima pink flowers
* Glue Dots
