I used some scraps that I had left over from Christmas. 

A little dimensional fabric paint....

hand drew the facial features.

I think that she is cute but not exactly what I had envisioned   My husband said that she looked yummy and would go really good with some peanut butter fudge...lol.  Now that is a hint.

MCCR - Festive Card creating Tuesday

This is my Design Team post for My Cricut Craft Room

For our MCCR DT post today we were asked to create a Festive Card that was Embossed.

This is what I came up with:

I used page 71 and cut the card and sleeve at 4".

This was the first time I have used the Artiste Cart.

Here is the card with the sleeve on it.

I put a little bit of stickles around the little heart on the sleeve.

I used an embossing pen to write and then used the embossing gun to make it sparkle and shine.

Thanks for stopping by.

MCCR - Festive Friday

This is my Design Team post for My Cricut Craft Room

For our MCCR DT post today we were asked to create a Festive Baby Project.

This is what I came up with:

I used New Arrival and cut the onesie with the dial set on  fill the page. ( I used the blackout)  It cut at 11 1/4 ".

I used bling to put Adelyn's name on the onesie. 

I love the little bling butterflies!

This is one page out of the scrapbook that I am making for baby Adelyn.  Stay tuned for more pages!

I cherish your comments or bloggy love as we call it :).

Here is the awesome prize donated by Zannie Berry Scrapbooking.

You must comment on all blogs to win.  

Of course we all love to have new followers....:)

Now on to my project...

I decided to make a picture frame for my daughter.

Her favorite colors are lime green, neon pink, and orange.

As you can see I used the green and orange for this project.

I started with a simple $1 picture frame from Michaels.

I cut the flowers using my Big Shot and the Spellbinders Shapeabilities.

I put a jewel in the middle of the bigger flower that was wrapped loosely. 

I used puffy Paint to make my neon green butterfly dots.

The butterflies are from the EK success border punch.  I just used the butterflies left out from the border.

I hope that you have enjoyed my valentine project and leave me some bloggy love. :)

I have listed the entire lineup below in case you get lost along the way.
