Hey All!!

Its time for another challenge over at Exploring Cricut!

 

Here is the info for our new challenge!

 

Challenge "Count Your Blessings":

Create a card, layout, or paragraphed celebrating Thanksgiving.

 

 

For my project, I wanted to decorate my branch at work again for Thanksgiving. We are doing a food drive in my branch for our fellow co-workers who have been effected by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. That just hit way to close to home for all of us, and we couldn't bear to see our teammates, friends, and frankly because we are such a small bank, we are like family! We are gathering for Thanksgiving and for Christmas for them!

 

So, I brought in my friendly Cricut and my Gypsy and went to town! Here are the pictures of my branch:

 

My teller whole teller line

 

 

The teller station. I put falling leaves in 4 different colors on top, and their names on the bottom. Don't mind me in the background, lol! It's a marble teller line, so you see my reflection in it!

 

A closer shot of another Turkey. This is Ulana's station.

The circles in the Food Drive picture above are for customers to write their names on. We are still debating on wither or not we want to do an "I'm Thankful Wall". But, I just got this kicked out on Saturday evening, so no names were on when I left!

I think the girls will like their new name plates better then the RIP name plates I made them for Halloween. They all HATED seeing their names that way! Next, time, I'll ask! LOL!!!

For this project, I used: Create A Critter, Nate's ABC's, George and Basic Shapes, and my Gypsy to weld the letters of my tellers names!

OK, so this is what I have for Thanksgiving, what do you have to be thankful for? Time to create and enter for your chance to win a SWEET prize!!

Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Teams projects first!!

OK all, hope to catch you all Craftin' and Stampin'!



Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craft Room!

 

 

 

Hey All!!

 

 

It's time for another post for My Cricut Craft Room!!!

 

Today, its theme day Thursday!

 

For today's theme, we have Apples and Pumpkins! I chose a pumpkin card for Halloween! And what a cute little pumpkin card it ended up being!!!

 

 

I used Create A Critter for my little pumpkin friend, and I used scraps of paper left from last Halloween and Thanksgiving! Its a cute little bright pink shade in my background paper and I added some white gel pen stiching around him. I also used my letter stamps to spell out HEY PUMPKIN since I didnt have a stamp that said that! I popped it up on some pop dots, so it just RIGHT out at you! I used Pumpkin Pie ink from Stampin' Up to do some shading around my pumpkin and around my saying, which I also used Pumpkin Pie ink for!

So...do you know what it is???? It's an APPLE!!! It's a box I made with a teacher in mind!!! How cool huh??? Don't you just LOVE that little worm with the Peachy Keen Face??? And how about that Faux Stitching???
