Winter mittens at BBTB2

Our hostess this week at BBTB2 is Melanie, and the theme she chose for the week is "Winter Scarfs, Mittens and Hats". I chose to use the mittens from the Holiday Cakes image set for my project today.

The Brrrr is from the Winter Woodlands image set and the doily is from Quilted Christmas. I made the octagonal card by welding two of the basic shapes together and adding a score line. It's a little over 4 1/2 inches tall.The glitter paper is from DCWV and the rest is Recollections. I used some bling from my stash for the vertices (I teach geometry...what can I say).

Take some time to join us with your own snuggly winter project this week!

Frosty the Snowman at BBTB2

Happy New Year everyone! This week at BBTB2 Michelle chose the theme of snowmen. It's really difficult to imagine snowmen here in Florida as it has been in the 80's everyday until today. 

I chose a snowman from the Snow Friends image set in Design Space. The sentiment is from the Winter Frolic image set. The paper is all Recollections, as usual. I did put some Wink of Stella on the snowman and a few other pieces. 

Come join us for some snowy fun!!

This Weeks Sponsor

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons

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. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images. If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!

For my card this week I used the Deer Family Silhouettes from Pretty paper, pretty ribbons. I ungrouped in Design Space and just used the buck. It is one of my "new" things. The other is the embossing folder.

The sentiment is from the Cricut Phrases image set. The background rectangles were both cut from the free shapes on Design Space. I hope everyone is having a good new year so far. Come play with us and show off your "new" stuff.

Santa Clause is coming to BBTB2!

Well, Christmas is almost here and Santa is coming to visit at BBTB2. Melanie chose to have Santa be the theme for the week. It is ridiculously hot here in Florida. It's supposed to be in the mid to upper 80's for Christmas and it's really hard to get into the spirit.

Many people will be spending part of the day at the beach so I thought I'd go with that idea for my Santa. He is from the Jolly Holidays cartridge. The lights are from the Winter Frolic cartridge. The tree is from Pirates and Mermaids and the sand is from Paper Dolls Every Day. The paper is all Recollections and there is some clear Wink of Stella on his beard and some other pieces for some sparkle.

This is our last challenge for the year, so join us and enjoy!

I used the top row of the Bingo card...a Cricut image from the Jolly Holidays collection, a Christmas embossing folder (Cuttlebug with round tree medallions on it) and some Christmas Ribbon. There was a little oops when I stamped his face with a Peachy Keen stamp, so I just made it into a "beauty mark". The paper is all Recollections from Michaels.

Ornaments at BBTB2

This week we are having a Christmas ornament challenge at BBTB2. 

I used glittery silver and shiny gold paper on a white background for this card. It looks much cooler in person, I still have trouble getting good pictures with glitter and shine.  The ornament is from the Winter Wonderland cartridge. The embossing is a Cuttlebug folder.

Come join us for some last minute Christmas fun!

Christmas Wildlife at BBTB2

This week is my first turn to host at BBTB2 and the theme I chose was Christmas wildlife. We were to use an animal or a bird on our projects. There are so many great images to choose from it was hard to decide...so I didn't, I just made more than one project.

My first project used a polar bear cut from A Quilted Christmas. The sentiment is from the Winter Wonderland cartridge. I used a Darice embossing folder for the background. There is some Wink of Stella on the saddle piece. I may add a couple of silver snowflakes, what do you think?

My second project is a shaped card that I made using the Quilted Ornaments cartridge. The bear is from Teddy Bears on Parade, love that cartridge! The Design Space file for all of these projects will be at the end of the post.

My last project is an ornament, or flat card, made from the same image set. The birds are from the Winter Frolic image set. It's about 6" tall. I used vinyl as the gold as I didn't have any gold paper that I liked. 

All 3 of these projects are on the same DS file that can be found here:
