What's new chickie?

I made this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. The challenge was to make a project that involves a pun. I used the Create a Critter cartridge to complete this card!

• The card base is 5" x 5"
• The chick is cut at 4 1/2" from Create a Critter
• The stamp is from Scrappy Mom's Little Critters stamp set.

Wild About You!

Here is my first ever Scrappy Mom's submission! I am a huge fan of their stamps.

1. The card base is 5 1/2" by 4 1/4". It's made from kraft card stock from Recollections.
2. The next layer is a bright green by Recollections cut at 5 1/4" by 4".
3. The next layer is cut at 5" by 3 3/4". I am sorry, I don't remember what paper collection it is from :(.
4. The lion is from Create a Critter 2 and is cut at 3 1/2". 
5. The phrase is also from Create a Critter 2 and it's cut at 2".

Glitter Sunglasses

My first post! I am really excited to share my projects and ideas here, especially since I have found a lot of my inspiration from other bloggers.

For my first project, I took an old pair of sunglasses and spruced them up a bit! The temperature hit the 40's today (whoo hoo) compared to the frigid temperatures we've had, and it got me really excited for spring! What better way than a newly decorated pair of shades.

You will need:
1 pair of sunglasses
Ultra Fine Glitter
Clear Drying Glue (I used mod podge because I already had it)
1 paint brush
Tape

Step #1: Tape the lenses of your glasses, front and back!

Step #2: Mix your glue and glitter together. I went a little too glue crazy for this pair. I suggest starting with a little of each and continue to add until you get the perfect mixture!

Step #3: Paint! Again, I went a little over board with the mod podge. Also, I would recommend using a smaller brush. The brush I used was the only one I had, and it did not help with the excessive amount of mod podge on my frames. Luckily, the mod podge dried fairly quickly!

Step #4: Spray with a glossy finish! I recommend Krylon Crystal Clear, which can be found at Michaels or I am sure your local craft store.

Step #5: Peel the tape off, and your ready to go!  Not too shabby for my first try. Like I said, I went a little too crazy with the mod podge, so the glasses look a little chunky. 

Here is the site I got my inspiration from:

Until next time!
