Run for the border!! Circle challenge!

Hello! I'm back again with a Cricut Circle blog Challenge submission! I've been working on the Azle Lions Club Angel Tree and am putting together this Christmas album for our "helpers"! We get lots of little Santa helpers! High School kids mostly! But in the day time we get volunteers from our local churches. This page happens to be mostly from church. They come in the afternoons and evenings and we want to show them how much they are appreciated!

Weekly Challenge #45: Run for the Border Challenge!

The Challenge: Borders can be simple & sweet, elegantly detailed, masculine, or playful . . . and they can be that perfect final touch to add to your project. We want you to make a run for the border . . . your Cricut Borders, that is. Create a projects of your choice and include a Cricut Border cut somewhere on your project. Be sure to include atleast 2 Total Cricut Image Cuts on your project.

Rules and Guidelines: Circle Blog Challenges are open to Cricut Circle Members only. Your project must be newly created for this challenge and include atleast 2 Cricut Image Cuts.

The cute little elf is from Jolly Holidays, the border is from Winter Frolic. Santa's Workshop is also from Winter Frolic. I love that cart! Its my favorite Legacy Cart! I can't believe I didn't use something on the new Santa's village! but this winter frolic always comes to mind first!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great week! I've got to get to those advent trees!

Welcome to the Holiday Wishes Blog Hop!

Welcome to my stop on the Holiday Wishes Blog hop! Hopefully you'll find inspiration somewhere along the hop and come back! If you came from the Kathryn's blog,  Wamfamily,
you are on the right track! Did you check out her organized scraproom  from IKEA while you were there??!! From here you go to Mandy's  Scrap blog! She has some great unique craft ideas and inspiration! 

I have 2 projects for you today! My granddaughter and I made a bracelet with the Imagine and Snow Angel cart and Shrinky dinks!! We had so much fun! And I made a Gingerbread man shaped Christmas card with my Gypsy!
First, here is my holiday wish card!! I love gingerbread men!! and Peachy Keen Stamps!!! (They just take everything to the next level IMHO!) Can you tell? I just loved the gingerbread man I used on my Christmas mini in the "Christmas with a twist" hop and thought I would make a shape card with it! That was the easy part!! Glittering and flocking the banner and hat and hearts was the tedious part!! So I only made 8 of these! I'm now making an angel card, my very most favorite thing! Angels... I used several carts to make these, PPDU, GBS, Jolly Holidays, 3 birds, and Everyday Paper Dolls for the one on the right. I made a different banner on the left one that uses the scalloped triangle from Calligraphy. I used my Gypsy and cut it all out with the Imagine. I made the banner a little smaller if I make anymore. But that isn't likely at this point. I'm busy with Azle Lions Club Angel Tree now and may not get anymore cards completed this year at all! I'll have to remember that next year!! Need to start much sooner! Or make a much easier card!! :-) If anyone wants the gypsy or cut file, leave a comment and I'll post it next week. I'm beat today after working on the Angel tree all day and making a huge pan of lasagna for our wrappers as well, but can post it later.

 Here's the bracelet!  These are all images on the Snow angel cart, that I printed and cut with the Imagine, then had to replace the blades! It ruined 2 blades! The deep cut and regular cut. You can't see the sleigh one very well, but its really cute with a little bundled up angel with a squirrel in her hand. The green one has a deer jumping over a basket of flowers! they are really cute in person! Faith loves it!

 

Now, for the main reason ya'll are here! My blog candy is a $10.00 gift certificate to Michaels! And if you have a gypsy or a cell phone that can use a lanyard with beads I'll make you one in your choice of color or colors, like the 1 shown below I made for my Gypsy!
All you have to do to win is leave a comment telling me if you make your own Christmas cards, if you have them finished! and your favorite cart to make them if you have a cricut. Doesn't everybody?! and be sure you leave contact information! You don't have to be a follower but I would love it if you were!! I'll use random.org to pick a winner!

Thanks for stopping by! Ya'll come back! I'd love to hear from you again! Now head on over to Mandy's! and get inspired!!
