~This Weeks Challenge~

Back to School

Create a back to school project

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

For my project this week I repurposed a clipboard that I picked up at a garage sale this summer.  It was already painted green, and I added the notebook paper from a CTMH pack that I had. I stamped the centre with a Graphic 45 alphabet stamp in Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then started to Mod Podge on my diecuts from the Cursive 101 Cricut cartridge and other images.

I made this so that my beautiful daughter, Amie, (her quote :) could clip up her school work and art that she brings home from school.  I welded the letters together with the Gypsy and after gluing them to the background I used a brown Distress Marker and a wet paintbrush to create a shadow around the edges and then traced around with a black Distress Marker to create an outline.

I used the little apple stamps from Pretty Cute Stamps new release - Bushels Of Fun to add an apple to my books and notepage diecuts. I'm so glad I got to use the fun school themed cuts on this cartridge.  I love the font on it and use it quite a lot.

 A+ for Amie!

I just love the Prima Paper Doll stamps! Amie picked out this girl to match her - long curly hair - and she picked out the paper for the paper pieced clothing, headband and shoes. We added a flower cut from some ribbon to her headband.  I love involving her in projects like this - she is so creative!
