Provo Craft Contest Entries

These were my entries for the PC E2 contest. Not winners, but I enjoyed making them and had a lot of fun!

The first is my Cosmo Girl layout. It is supposed to be a magazine cover. I used Base Camp for the lettering, Celebrate With A Flourish for the balloons, Give A Hoot for the butterflies, and Mother's Day Bouquet for the flowers.



I added some Viva Decor pearls to the middle of the flowers and some buttons on opposite corners. I did use my computer to print out the "story headlines" on gray Bazzill cardstock.

My second layout was all done with Paper Studio Birthday Extravaganza paper and mat stack paper! I saw this paper quite a bit on several other entries! I really do love the bright colors. For this one I used Elegant Edges and cut the large green mat, then I used Birthday Bash for the "happy birthday" and finally Mother's Day Bouquet for the flowers. I added a little bling on the flowers and if you look closely, I added a tag behind the top picture mat. I added a lot of aqua colored ribbon to make it appear like it was part of the party hat! Thanks for looking!

Altered Cabinet Door

Happy Easter everyone. Today I am posting my mother's Easter Day gift. I work for a real estate developer and we have a small area of sample building materials. In the process of purging a few months ago, there were a couple of cabinet doors, among other things, that I couldn't allow to be discarded, so I took them home!




I stripped down the door and then used Rub N Buff in Spanish Copper. It gives the door a metallic sheen. I found a single sheet of paper, which I cut down to fit into the recess of the door. I used one of my Mom's favorite photos of her and her two brothers. I had that reproduced into a 5x7 photo. I then cut out the faces of her Mom and Dad and put them into small frames along with a key and the Tim Holtz love ticket (see bottom right hand corner). I used some sample tile (from the sample room at my office) along the bottom of the recess.

I cut out two different flowers shapes from the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge, put together some flowers, added some bling in the middle. Then I ran across some old lace that I had left over from a project. I made a rosette and added the prima flower to the middle.

I will be entering this into the Cricut Circle Blog's reuse, recycle, repurpose contest! Thanks for looking!
