Doorknob hanger for my DGS!

Hello friends! This is another and probably last submission for the Cricut Circle Blogaversary Challenges! This challenge was to use this recipe:  Must contain 1) Title 2)At least 2 cricut cuts and 3) At least 3 buttons. Well, I made Faith the earrings and necklace, so I had to make Chance something. The only thing I could think of is this door hanger that I'd been rolling around in my head since I saw 1 posted about 6 months ago but it was made with the Imagine's Blast Off. I got that out and didn't really need a pocket on it. So I asked my DD what he was going to be on Halloween and he hasn't gotten it yet, but something spooky! So...I decided to make something spooky! And the Halloween kit I found, which I've had probably 2 years!, had all kinds of things in it, including the 3 buttons! I almost fell over! AND I just got cable internet and got to use CCR!!!! woohoo! I was in heaven. Of course everything I wanted to use was on carts I loaned out! But I do have Happy Hauntings and most all of the cuts are from that cart! Of course I used more than 2 cuts!

I used My Community for the door hanger, cut at 7 1/2" and the paper is from the PaperWishes Halloween Kit. the "no trespassing" and skeleton on the bottom of the tag is from Buccaneer. The skeleton in back of the headstone is from JT. The cat, skeleton, spider and web, Enter if you Dare, and bat are all from Happy Hauntings. The spider border and gooey border are MS borders of course! I used Tim Holtz's Stickles in Midnight on the web. Its really shiny and awesome IRL!
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great weekend!

Cricut Circle Blogaversary Sketch Challenge

Hello my favorite bloggers! I'm back with another couple of challenges! I would love to win a new Imagine! The challenge is to use the sketch and 2 different Cricut Image cuts. This is the sketch:
I neededed to send a "miss you" card to my grandson! I really miss him and haven't seen him for several weeks! I used the challenge for the opportunity to make one! He loves alligators, so of course I used Buccaneer! One of my newest favorite carts!

I forgot to take a pic of the inside of the card but he loves sharks as well, maybe more than alligators! so I printed the alligator from this cart also and placed it inside, writing that Faith and I are "whaling" without him! Cause we miss him! He'll love it. He's so appreciative of everything. The little swords were cut at .8", the pirate was cut at 3 and the alligator was cut at 1 1/2", the "arrrrrgh" is cut at 1 1/2". I distressed the edges with Sienna, matched the reddish color pretty well!
Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back shortly with the monotone card. In between watching the Rangers and the Tigers!

Cricut Circle Blogiversary Cuttlebug Challenge

Hello bloggers! The challenges are coming fast and furious at the Circle Blog and I have another entry. The prize for this one is a Yudu CardShop Machine!
The challenge is to use your cuttlebug machine as the main focus and use at least 2 different Cricut Image cuts! Thats a laugh for me because I don't think I've ever made anything with only 2 cuts!! Its just not in me!
I made this card to send to my DGS! What boy doesn' t love Halloween!?
Well if you have been following me very long you know I love easel cards! The embossed haunted house in the background is of course the cuttlebug I used and added some pigment white for depth and highlight. The card base is from a pack of cards and envelopes from Walmart I got on clearance a while back. It looks like its several shades of orange but I guess its the ott light that does that. It doesn't matter what angle I have the camera at! I used my Imagine to create the headstone at 2.5" and flood filled it with Texture Imagine cart. The skull and cross bones was cut at .8" from Buccaneer! Love that cart. So glad I bit the bullet on that one! The hands were from October 31st cart and flood filled with a green from Buccaneer and cut at 1 1/2". I then use Ranger Perfect Pearls in Patina Gray and Green to add some color to them but its not noticeable in the picture. It looks awesome IRL! The fence and grass are from MS punches, as well as the spiders on the border of the phrase mat. Happy Halloween was cut at 1 1/2" from Happy Hauntings. The orange doesn't look like it matches again in the picture. This is the same one I used for Faiths card if it looks familiar! The witch is from Happy Hauntings also, the cloud is from April Showers.
Thanks for stopping by! I made some witch earring and a bat necklace for my DGD also I'll post shortly.
Have a great weekend!
