Fall Banner and Cooking With Cricut #104

Hello crafty friends! As we sadly say goodbye to the warm lazy days of summer , our thoughts turn to fall and crisp days and bursts of fall colors. I love the many colors of fall... it's my favorite season ( for that part, anyway!!!) and I especially love fall decor! This year while spending quality time perusing Pinterest ( OMG, how addicting is that site!!!!) I found some beatiful boards dedicated to all things fall. That inspired me to do a little fall crafting of my own. Of course, my Cricut ic my go-to tool for papercrafting and the CTMH cartridges , Artiste and Art Philosophy spend most of their time in use!!! I used the Art Philosophy for ths banner.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used the banner shapes ( basic, triangle, rounded) cut at 6" from chipboard and then out of brown cardstock. I then used some autumn papers from a paperpad for the banner mats and the leaves and rosettes ( cut from the Artiste file at 8.5 ". The letters are glitter paper as are the flourishes. I'm not hapy with the ribbon , but it will have to do until I get to town next week!!

 

I'm entering this over at Cooking With Cricut for their Texture challenge .

 

Thanks for stopping by blog today! Have a great day!!

 

 

 

Cooking With Cricut challenge #79

Make Me Laugh- that's the theme for this week's challenge over at Cooking with Cricut.

I made this card for a little boy who'll be celebrating his 6th birthday this weekend.I used the Mini Monsters cartridge and the stamp was purchased at Two Peas In A Bucket. The polka dots on the dp are fuzzy, I think  it gives this card just the right amount of texture!

Well,that's my card for this week's challenge.... for more smiles, check out this week's challenge!

Thanks for stopping by.... have a great crafty day!
