Patches of Pink Thursday Link-up & Challenge

Hello Everyone! I am so super excited for today's post. Welcome to the my first ever project/post as a design team member & first challenge featuring the Patches of Pink Design Team. How Exciting!!!! The challenge this week is to create a project using pastel colors and a Spring theme. I wanted to make something other than a card for this project so I decided to go with a wall/door hanger that screams SPRING.

Please join us in this weeks challenge and link-up your project here. You may enter the challenge starting today (Thursday) and going thru Sunday May 8th. Don't forget to come back on Monday to put your vote in for your favorite project. Voting starts Monday May 9th and ends Tuesday the 10th at Noon (EST).  Can't wait to see what you all come up with.

I wanted this to have a good sturdy base so I cut all the base pieces from cereal boxes that I have been saving. It provided the perfect thickness all layered up.

All cuts minus the letters are from the Create-A-Critter Cartridge (My fav)

Spring Fling Sign

Happy Sunday to you all. I hope you are all having a great day. I have been working on this project for about week, it really should not have taken a week but for some reason things were just not falling together for me on this project. Today is the last day to enter the Fantabulous Cricut Spring Fling Challenge so I thought if I wanted to get something entered I had to finish this today. The challenge was to create something for Spring using the colors PINK, GREEN, & YELLOW. I love that color combo so I am not sure why this was difficult. Anyways, I ended up making this sign to actually put in a frame and display in my craft room or maybe someplace else in my house. I also thought that I could make one as each new season approaches and always have a cute little sign to display. I already have ideas for a Summer sign. Enjoy!

Baby Stroller Card

Happy Friday Everyone! I have a project for you today, it just so happens to be one of my favorite cards yet! I just recently purchased 3 new cartridges, I have been SUPER excited to use them but I have been busy and have not had a lot of time in my craft room, (sigh)! I feel in love with this little stroller from the Simply Charmed cartridge and I just had to make something using it. I have a couple friends who are pregnant so I am sure one of them will receive it.

I have linked this card into the Baby Week Link Up over at Betty Bee's Buzz.
