Today as part the design team I have made three projects for you with at least three different Cricut Cartridges.  So let's get started...

My first project I used Campin' Critters, Boys will be Boys and Give a Hoot to make this cute 4x4 card.  Everything was cut out at approximately 4".  I used the Tim Holtz distressing ink Vintage Photo to help give the raccoon and his bike some depth.  I also found a sun stamp in my stash, so I decided to add that in a light yellow to make it look like it was in the far back ground.  The kite comes from Boys will be Boys, with the sentiment coming from the Woodland Critters stamp set by Pink By Design.

Next, I have a simple layout  using the Happily Ever After Cricut Cartridge for a one page layout from Disney World.  It is when we were able to meet Snow White as soon as we walked into the park.

I used my Cricut gel pens to write out "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". I then cut it out and colored the empty spaces in with my smooch paints.  The apples, I decided to keep them simple and just outline them using matching stickles.  The paper is from Stampin' Up, but I forget the name.  I won them from a friend that sell SU.

My last project for you is my favorite.  I decided to make a 'job reminder' chart for my kids in the bathroom using the Cricut cartridge called Chore Chart.  Sometimes, ok, a lot of the time, my kids forget some part of getting ready for their day or ending their day.  So, I am hoping this will help....

I kept to a simple concept, as to not confuse the kids with colors or to many details.

I did use some stickles, embossing and Tim Holtz Vintage paper ink to help make the 'chores' stand out a little more, but again, I did not want to add to much.  That is truly hard when you really want things to have a lot of POP!  I had to keep thinking "simple, simple, simple".  Don't overwhelm the children.....

The top square, that I angled with the children's name, is cut at 4", while everything else is cut at 3".  I also used Bazzill and Core'dinations paper through out the project.
Here is a picture of my son using the chart and putting his Clothing Pin on, to show he did his 'chore'.  I wrote the word "done" on 30 pins.  That way they will all get two per chore for the day.   Morning and Night.



Meet Noah, he is 4 1/2 yrs old.  He was loving the chart even
before I hung them up on ribbon.

This is all I have  for you today.  Come back and visit me, but first go on to visit my design team sister Jamie M at  http://craftygirl21.blogspot.com
