Mom's challenge 5

My mother loved the cart and just had to make the finger puppets. Here is Barb G's cat and dog finger puppets from the Cricut Paper Play cart.

challenge 5 for Cropped Event

Here is the final challenge for the Cropped Event. The challenge was to use only paper and adhesive, no ink, buttons, stamping etc. I haven't used my Paper Play cart so this was the perfect opportunity to plug that cart in and create something fun!

Cropped Event challenges

Here are a few projects... we were asked to share what we are working on, and I am making a book with pictures from DH and me when we visited Arizona

Challenge #4 use 7 circles (or more) and the color teal

For the group challenge we had to make something with a heart....we decided to make a giant heart and each of us had to make a heart for each other person. On the heart we wrote things that we love about her. Participants: Mary Gulbrandson Tina Voss, Emily Voss, Barb Gulbrandson, Deb Doeden, and as a special guest Amber Doeden.

Challenge 3 for the Cropped Event Make some subway art.. I used a quote from The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo and when I return home (scrapping at my SIL) will be made into a plaque for my library.

Cropped Event

This weekend I am participating in the mystery box/cropped event created by Megan Elizabeth at Above Rubies Studio and Craft-e-Corner. Several friends and I are going to gather this weekend and have our own little swarm and participate in the online challenges and classes. When we received our mystery boxes there were two challenges for us to do prior to the event starting. Challenge #1 - Create a card inspired by the "Sunset Card" from the 123 Stamp DVD Challenge #2 - Use 9 blocks from Paper Layerz paper to create 9 mini scrapbook layouts. Here are two photos of each challenge...one created by me (Chignon, aka Tina) and another done by my DD (Darling Daughter) Emily. We each are participating in the Cropped Event and will be using my blog to post our entries. Challenge #1 - Tina's card

Challenge #1 - Emily's card

Challenge #2 - Tina's layout

Background on my layout...I wanted to do a page about me, and the challenge was to make mini pages on each block so I decided to make it about things I love and what makes me, me. I am a teacher librarian who loves to read, craft and I love my family to pieces, so I have a librarian, books (with apple for the teacher) photos of my loved ones and scissors. The alphabet stamps are from Megan Elizabeth (something from my mystery box)and the ink is silver StazOn metallic.The scallop squares behind my children's Sr. pictures is a Megan Elizabeth pink nesting die and teh scissor shapes are made with a Fiskars squeeze punch. The other cut outs were done with my cricut (Family was done on the Imagine) Carts used: My community, French Manor, and Out of Character. Challenge #2 - Emily's layout

A little background to Emily's layout...she is making an ABC scrapbook for her boyfriend as a Christmas gift. The two of them enjoy playing a computer game called Mindcraft, so M is for Mindcraft and some silly sayings and various characters/items from the games. The alpha stickers were part of the mystery box contents as well as the paper layerz 9 square 12 x 12 paper.
