Buttons and Brads

That's the theme for this week's challenge at Cooking with Cricut.  The design team members are including buttons and/or brads on their creations.

I made a birthday card for my brother-in-law who is turning 65.  I selected this car from Nate's ABCs.  The sentiment is from the MS All Occasion Cake cartridge. The inside sentiments were computer generated.  I think buttons and brads are great embellishments to use on masculine cards.

Please join in our challenge by visiting Cooking with Cricut and linking your button and brad creation.  Don't forget to include a Cricut cut on your design as well.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

Challenge Me Monday #57

It's time for

at Fantababulous Cricut.

In honor of Mother's Day, Challenge #57 is "Mom's the Word".

Mother's Day is May 8 this year (very early, but it is the 2nd Sunday).

For this week's challenge we're asking you to include the word "mom", "mother",  or any other way you might say it, and a Cricut cut.

I just love the adorable cuts on Nate's ABC's.  Each image is almost a stand-alone.  I welded "mom" using the font from Kate's ABC's (just as cute as Nate, btw), and used Elegant Edges for the frames (shadow feature).  The patterned paper was glittered so I added Stickles to the eggs and momma bird.  I embellished with Pearl Pens and my white Signo Pen.

Why don't you play along with us at FCCB.  Just link your "Mom's the Word" project below the Design Teams' examples.  And, don't forget that there is a new post each day sharing wonderful tips and ideas.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,
Larelyn
