#167 Spongebob Squarepants - Colouring Books

Hi everyone!  I just finished up my entry for the monthly challenge on the Cricut Circle Blog, which was to create something fun for your family to enjoy.  Sadly, this is the last challenge because the blog is being discontinued due to changes in the Cricut Circle.  I am very disappointed and will really miss the fun challenges and beautiful projects the the design team posts every day :-(
For the challenge, I thought it would be fun to create colouring books for my three children to keep them busy.  I chose a theme that each would enjoy - Hannah Montana, Spongebob Squarepants and Mickey Mouse.  I printed colouring pages from the internet to put into the books, so each book is 8.5"X11".
Here they are:

The cartridges/cuts I used are:
Hannah Montana - Hannah (cut at 8"), "Jenae" (cut at 2")
Spongebob Squarepants - Spongebob (cut at 6")
Mickey and Friends - Mickey and Pluto (cut at 6")
Mickey Font - "Jacob" (cut at 2")
Nate's ABC's - "Drew" (cut at 2")

I stapled all of the pages together at the left edge, then scored a 1.5"X11" strip of paper lengthwise to cover the edge.

Hope you like it!

#133 Nate's ABCs - Circle Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone! Wow - it has been a while since I have posted! I have created a few projects while I have been absent from blogging, so stay tuned for some of those projects, mostly scrapbook layouts!

Today I finished up this card for the Cricut Circle magazine challenge from this month. The challenge was to use the sketch featured in the magazine to create a project of our own. Here is my take on their sketch:

For my card, I used my Imagine along with the Imagine More cartridge for all of the colours and patterns. The cricut cartridges and cuts I used are:

Nate's ABC's - Boy and puppies scene (cut at 4")

Cake Basics - scalloped circle (cut at 4") and heart (cut at 3.5")

I used my markers for faux stitching and accents and popped up the boy scene with foam squares. Both are by Stampin' Up!.

The chocolate grosgrain ribbon is by Close to My Heart.

Thank you for stopping by to look at my creation. Hope you like it!
