Let's Go Snowboarding!

Hello!
 
I am Jennifer from Creative Cricut Designs and I am the Guest Designer
for the month of December. WooHoo!! I must say it is an honor to be a part of this team!!
 
Today I am sharing a layout that I made using one of the kids from the Winter Kids 2 set. You can find this file HERE and do not forget to take a tour of the website where you will find amazing files and they are all at affordable prices that you just can beat anywhere else!
 
My step son has recently taken up snowboarding and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to whip up a layout for when he finally lands that trick he has been working on so hard to get just right!
 
 


 
Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you again next week!

Jungle Kids Treat Bags

Hello everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug and I have a fun project to share with you. I am LOVING these adorable Chibi Kids Dressed as animals. I hope you're not getting too sick of them yet! LOL!
For this project I used the Chibi Kids Dressed as Jungle Animals. There is a set of 6, but I only used 3 of them. 





Didn't these turn out just TOO CUTE! I love these cuties!
I made some fun little bags to give to some kids that I know. I thought it would be a fun little gift. 
I cut the kids from the Chibi Kids Dressed as Jungle Animals and stamped their faces with Peachy Keen's Sweet and Innocent and Moodies face stamps. 
I created the bag toppers using the Arched Card Base from SVG Cutting Files and made it the size for my bags. I used some clear bags and filled them with some crayons, notebooks, and chocolate. Gotta have some chocolate in there :D
 I added a banner cut with My Craft Spot's Ribbon Banner Dies-Straight and stamped the sentiment using Peachy Keen's PKSC-08 August 2012 stamp set. I also added some twine bows to each bag. 
I hope you all liked my project and thanks for stopping in!
Have a great day!

Disney Villains - Black Friday Event - LET'S RIDE!!!

Welcome to the Disney Villains Black Friday Blog Hop.

Jaded Blossom has 2 Awesome new Stamp Sets they are offering today that we are using in our projects.
They are Bundled at $25 and that includes FREE shipping within the US!
Now if you are here from Michelle then you're in the right place, if not then you may want to start at the beginning.  
Don't worry if you get lost, I have the entire blog line up below this post.
Now on to my Project... 
I choose the Evil Pixar Grasshopper.....HOPPER from A Bug's Life.
I can't deny it... I LOVE Hopper.  My son Colin adores him ...I don't know why, he just does.  He thinks his "Let's Ride" is hysterical, and "You ants have a nice summer" makes him laugh out loud.  Kids....  So this was made lovingly for my sweet boy, Colin.....
Front of my project
Hopper is the leader of the Grasshoppers in the Disney Pixar movie, A Bug's Life.  Its never really said why he hates ants so much.  He just thinks they are below him...and he has no sympathy for them at all.  He is a control freak I think.  He likes to have the power and rule over the other ants AND grasshoppers!

Partial side view....
I took the Hopper file and simply attached him to a standard treat box that I have made.  I LOVE how he came out, so many layers.. ALL one color paper, but I inked the edges in several inks to achieve depth and dimension. 
I really like that effect of the layers.
I also took my white and black gel pens to outline and highlight.
I used the NEW Villain Stamp sets from Jaded Blossom...and put them on the super cool Mini Tag Dies and Candy Charms and Banner Dies.  I filled the small treat box with Rolos and Kisses with more of the new Villain Candy stamps!

Oh one last bit of Hopper trivia?  He is the first Pixar Villain to die!
Next up on the Hop is sweet Crystal.
